Hijinx: Simulacra Serenade

U Deserve It (The-Dream)

@nozagam is a solo project by French experimental-club producer Etienne Zastko who takes a bleak view of a destructive Anthropocene Epoch, in which “utopias can’t exist and we’ve lost our way in our blind devotion to technology”. The album pieces together a chronology of catastrophic events. A fictionalized soundtrack to humankind’s end-cycle. The abrasive textures and suffocating atmosphere immerse us into a total universe where everything that could have gone wrong has. Affirmations and tech bro optimism didn’t quite cut it. And if those disembodied voices that sporadically reach out are the survivors, that’s not good news.

The visual aesthetic of Zagam is one of fusion, a medieval plague doctor mask with a 23rd-century twist. “Anthropocene” mines a similarly disparate set of influences, spanning an evermore hybridized clubspace. Gqom, grime, industrial techno, footwork: everything is fair game. The rich musical background and hard sonic palette of Zagam make for a perfect match for the hybrid electronics approach of Unizone.

PREMIERE: Loâzo - Avant-deux de deux-mille-vingt-deux

Something special for you. 𝘈𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘳 is the beautiful and ultrachaotic first single from @atheropendoor's upcoming release 𝙀𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙮 𝙀𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙚𝙨. Uplifting trance synths mashed with glitching noise and manic keys. It's uncategorisably great.

At Her Open Door is an experimental music project started in 2007 by Japanese artist Taiki Kobayashi. He has previously released the album FLIR on CHINABOT and the EP Demon Stinger on formforum, and has participated in compilations for Magdalena's Apathy and Subsist Records.

Entropy Echoes

At Her Open Door - Adder

In honor of an iconic bar located on Route 38, between the cities of La Falda and Huerta Grande in Córdoba, Argentina, El Plvybxy @plvybxy and ROOi @r-o-o-i present 'LA BOCA DE TIGRE'. This title evokes not only a physical place but also a space filled with deep stories and emotions, serving as a tribute to a time that left an indelible mark on their lives.

The creation of these tracks took shape after three months of rehabilitation and recovery in the serene town of Villa Giardino, beyond Huerta Grande. This retreat, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, allowed them sincere introspection and reconnection with their essence. During the phases of detoxification, by the second month, El Plvybxy and ROOi found themselves immersed in a state of mental clarity that enabled them to approach their art from a new perspective.

The distance from urban routines and dance floors provided a unique opportunity to explore their creativity without restrictions. This introspective journey led them to rediscover their roots, those early encounters with music and nightclub culture, where they learned to mix and immerse themselves in extended dance sessions.

Now arriving at a point of inflection in these post-pandemic times, with the global recognition and trend of Latin American club music, or as some call it, 'Latin club,' they questioned the expectations and labels that might limit their artistic expression. Why not experiment with acid and its derivatives? This question became the catalyst for creating their new tracks, "Karina" and "Bety." Without seeking to please any particular niche, they simply followed their musical instinct.

'LA BOCA DE TIGRE' thus becomes a tribute to their beginnings, the DIY culture, and the dance nights that defined their youth. With a mix of rhythms that pay homage to both the South American nightlife scene and the influences of Chicago, Illinois, this EP offers a unique interpretation of Acid, Acid Sudaka. El Plvybxy and ROOi not only celebrate their roots and evolution but also invite us on a sonic journey that blends the beautiful and the dark aspects of their experiences.
