Label: @lezvani 
Release Date: 02 Feb 2022

After an extended hiatus, we're pleased to announce our first PREMIERE of 2022. From Armenian-based label, lézvání, comes a V.A. of the highest quality. We listen to the curators own words: 

"we follow the music that moves us forward and undergoes changes, thus changin’ us. and the main merit remains on the stage, the music is the gift and serving it in our lives. we have come together for the sake of music that has been with us; it is created at the cost of great effort and speaks the language of the streetz. whoever understands your language can continue your thoughts, it inspires us to continue the work no matter what the conditions are. the ghetto is a teacher - value what you have and what you've become - it will rise you even it seems you're falling apart".

"go with Hopdop, catch the whole VA on our bandcamp growbox from 02.02.2022, n' from other platforms later."

Resilience

PREMIERE: Hopdop - Resilience [lézvání]

黑芝麻 (Hēi zhī ma) invites you to retreat inwards - on both the physical plane and within the depths of your psyche - as part of the Pure Space Home Listening series.

Imagined during lockdown, Pure Space Home Listening // 黑芝麻和朋友们 (Hēi zhī ma and friends) probes home listening in the context of isolation.

As an artist, 黑芝麻 leans into the more emotive facets of sound, utilizing sonic and cerebral contrasts to subtly lull the listener into a journey unforeseen. This release sees them infuse this approach within their collaborations with artists Merph, Shoeb Ahmad, Moktar and Zhi.

The artists explore the familiar feelings of solitude, urgency and release firmly etched into our collective consciousness, both synchronously and through their own distinct lens.

“I Miss You” lulls you in with emotive pads that float above a sharp breakbeat and voice notes engulfed with longing. “Take Me Anywhere” provides a feeling of relief, as groove-laden techno bounces off the walls and into the abyss. “Associations” is an introspective, spacious and haunting track you want to float on and on. As you glide between these offerings, the intro and outro tracks hold space for tender ruminations.

The release serves as an archive of a more contemplative and confined period, through the distant murmur of voice notes, the metamorphosing drone of ambient soundscapes, poetic reveries that hang in the air, the rattling percussion of a breakbeat or techno high-hat and the gentle backdrop hums of nature.

This is an immersive audiovisual experience. Filmmaker Jane Inyang reimagines the EP in a short film through different listening contexts during a day in isolation for the protagonist. This short film will be accessible by a QR code in an accompanying poster and zine, which will also feature artist photos, recipes and poetry alongside the work of artist Jacquie Meng and photographer Chanel Nguyen. There will also be a limited run of earrings by Joanne Leong.
