INDEX Records - Reinartz | HÖR - Jan 23 / 2023

Our first Awkwardly Cast of the year is out and rest assured, it's not one for the faint hearted. Paris/Laval based artist, @harpies-record collective member and @RetreatRadio resident @joanna-oj is serving us these cold dishes, a fine assertion of half stepping murder weapons. Get locked in and listen but only if you aren't scared to get caught in the crossfire!

Awkwardly Cast 052 / JOANNA OJ

Three tracks deep, Backtrack welcomes Takeo.K to the label with Room to Breathe.

From the outset, ‘On My Way Home’ directs a late 90’s shoegaze come trip-hop wave that's in no rush to it's destination. ‘Weird War Dub’ echoes hard-wired, industrial work from Takeo’s previous releases, weaving a tapestry that shifts listeners through jittery emotion to a state of tranquillity. The EP culminates with ‘Room To Breathe’. An introspective overtone sees moody 90’s guitar work layered against stripped back breakbeat, harking back to the melancholy of DJ Krush. The totality of his project pays testament to Takeo’s novel vision. One that is sorely missed on the West Coast. 

Produced by Takeo Kameoka.
Mastered by Lawson Ayers.
Art and design by James Jovanoski.

The Naarm/Melbourne based producer will unveil meticulously crafted tracks that breathe life, deliver crispness, evoke emotions, and pulsate with energy.

KiTA's music defies easy categorization, blending ambient, dub, and breakbeat with real instruments and orchestral elements. The album "Ceramic" takes us on a mesmerizing journey with its title track, a twelve-minute composition that intertwines groove-laden ambience, deep bass throbs, swirling guitars, enchanting strings, and atmospheric vocals.
The B side of the record embraces a club-oriented soundscape with infectious breaks and captivating hooks, offering a refreshing contrast to the prevailing musical landscape. The final track concludes the album with dub-influenced percussion, creating a captivating dance that evokes both melancholy and beauty, leaving room for personal interpretation and discovery.

Earth Dog 024: S.Jay Live @ Fourth World 2023

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.

Pace & luv,

YS
