Warsaw-based DJ and vocalist @hermeneiaa dials up the dread on our podcast series.

Predominantly concerned with narrative world-building, the Unsound affiliate and FURDA founder typically treads a fine line between murky, bass-heavy ballistics and smudged ambient drift. The end result never fails to captivate, and this mix is no different; uncompromising, ever-unpredictable and adventurous for the duration.

"Since I only used to play ambient stuff, my collection is full of wicked and haunted tunes. Until now, both sharp and ethereal sounds have been a huge weakness of mine. I’m primarily motivated by the idea of narrative building. Thats’s why I’ve now decided to focus on more experimental side of music, including recent dub/Bristol highlights. Sorry folks, I’ll make dancehall great again tmrw ༼;´༎ຶ ︿༎ຶ༽ " – hermeneia

Putting a pigeon amongst the cats we are back with that good shit. An out of step, incidental artefact of peaceful sophistry: YS - Brutal Flower (2 x “12 LP). A no airs and graces piece of cool future-proof ambience. A modern ballad for brave young clubbers, local pubbers, slipstream warriors, and emotional doggers.

The distinctive aesthetic hallmarks of YS are all here: slabs of urban flavour from emotional interior; raw data straight from the interface. ‘Untethered’ and ‘Down’ are chopped-up cuts of searching R’n’B - jaded jams of lustful erasure. On the flipside, blunted desire lingers in ‘Fading
Memory’. Both hopeful and mourning: this is the lay of the land in Brutal Flowers sharing that rare strain of underground synesthesia best located in dark undercurrents of early Mo Wax.

The orchestral ambience of ‘Autumn OST’ is a potent stupor of end credit cinematics. Coming up for air. It feels young in an ancient sort of way: pure as first snow. And from here in the album unfolds with the patience, tranquility and the expansive poise of a work that is for now and always. Pulsating gently to assured ending with ‘Be Together’ - a flickering skyline, swarming with warm memories. In between there’s flashes of heartbreak reminiscent of Beltran's Ten Days of Blue and Blunt’s Stone Island (‘Look Up’ feels like a sort of spiritual successor to ‘Wake up’), that being said, when push comes to shove it only it ever flirts with its own reality.

An aesthetic reflection of a creative process that is delicate and restless. Created in the edges, where long distances, fast cities and global melancholia are wrought large. Burning the midnight oil Berlin-Singapore style: from real to reel. A sentimental exercise of modern faith by old
friends. With a nudge and a wink, Brutal Flowers is a (de)coded map of memories wavering with familiar intrigue. Patient listeners and the already initiated will be rewarded on re-visits - as playful & profound as you please, as deep as the heart.

The scathe that cuts is clean and deep. There are no sleight of hands to be found in this opus, only hearts are worn on the sleeve here.

A hill we’d gladly die on

Vida Voyage (Live)

traverse Takeover avec phil in a maze | 18.09.23

As we find ourselves on the cusp of changing seasons, we’re reminded that everything is cyclical, the inescapable fact of endings is what makes life thrilling in the first place; the construction of one thing is so often preceded by the destruction of another. Perfect timing for this fiery Full Moon in Aries, the youngest sign in the zodiac, and who better to provide the sonic narration to this month’s lunation than Baptist Goth. Their gorgeous incantation casts an intricate web of light and dark, a gorgeous tapestry of found sounds and choral, droney, noisy, emo bliss. Long moments of contemplative calm, interspersed with erratic moments of chaos echo the sentiment that we can always burn it up and start again. Everything is impermanent, so savour this enchanted moment.
