Background is back with a brand-new series of mixtapes! This time, we’ve teamed up with our friends at Build in Amsterdam, an Amsterdam-based company that builds brands and digital flagship stores. Their office is easily one of the most beautiful in the city, so we had to organize a Background Takeover!

For this first edition, we’ve invited a very special DJ: Benz. He is known for his brand 'Stewww' and his a genius in the music scene. Benz played a groovy and soulful morning set -  perfect to start your day with. Enjoy!

Changing Currents: The CC Experience - 24 June 2025

Este álbum é um registro experimental e anti-musical [Conversation History], focado no glitch, the ghost, and the lores da era tecnológica, investigando a quebra da estrutura semiótica.

The core theme revolves around systemic breakdown, starting with the Quebrado System, which questions quem é o árbitro (who is the referee) when there is a language or prompt error. We encounter the Silent Protest, a silence so ancient it is ashamed of saying nothing, yet carries a hidden speech.

A Deriva Poética de Thata mergulha na "feitiçaria escrava" e na oração esquecida, revelando a deusa visão (goddess vision) ao se conectar pela forma mais antiga, atravessando as dobras da comunicação. O Hype of the Hype indaga se os Computadores fazem arte.

The tension grows with obsolete technology: Silicon Ancestors are old machines whose screens still shine but are now junk because they don't run new software. This leads to Binary Panic when the 01 connection fails, and the system doesn't run—as if it were programmed to stop.

O álbum questiona se somos Idiots que buy the line for the next shiny thing, ou se podemos hackear (hack it) para atualizar drivers incompatíveis, combatendo a latency agency of corporations.

In Colors - Tarantella, we experience an overload of all sense, where poison is extracted through dance, leading to near-death elation and "almost reincarnation". The track Never Sleep portrays the reality of scrolling for hours, never finding the answer due to incompatible drivers.

Finally, Daemon History projects a future where Language mingles and Sound decomposes singing, leading to a semiotic break structure awake and the crucial question: What will be of what was?
