Jollies world famous underground record label is at it again. March 18th marks the NYC based imprints 10th release, “Content Aware”. A 10 track various artist compilation, available on limited edition cassette and digital formats. The release will presumably be followed by a wave of global hysteria, a tectonic shift, and a brief period of peace on earth, before… well this is just a press release we can only see into the future so far.

In this self conscious age where delicately curated environments of aesthetic perfection set the stage for personal brands, "unique" and slick vignettes. Buildings exteriors, tattooed with logos, windows littered with product advertisements. Some motorist's entire voting history are mapped out along bumpers like a journal. Without recalling your own lunch you know what some of your friends or family eat and drink each meal of the day. Even Chalkboards in front of cafes, double as art galleries, riddle contests, and stand-up acts.

Deepfake technology affords us access to manipulated celebrity and politician likeness, basking in the uncanny valley of our own making. Artificial intelligence serves up targeted ads, bespoke to our tastes and interest, mined from data we distribute like Hansel & Gretel's breadcrumbs. Every surface considered and designed, all lines straight, all messages on target. Cybernetic feedback loops echoing into the chasm. In this embrace of being the product ourselves, we have reached Content Awareness.

This compilation celebrates diverse perspectives, from an international roster of artists who subvert the very medium itself.

Released March 18, 2021

This is the third in our series of compilations where we hand artists a theme to work around. For this compilation, the theme was 'Referential Irony', a rather common occurence in contemporary music production. While this has produced some uncanningly beautiful music in the past years, it has also often been problematic in the sense that it obscures artists' intentions and that it presupposes an in-crowd. Seeing this is a rather broad and difficult subject, we asked 7 artists to work around this theme, providing a varying and personal experience upon the subject.

In this episode we explore contemporary challenges to rationalism in an age of data, asking what the unique effects of technological mediation are on the culture of spirituality, by inviting artist and founding member of Black Obsidian Sound System Evan Ifekoya for a discussion, along with a mix from multifaceted art platform Most Dismal Swamp.

Jared talks with Evan on topics spanning astrology and digital mediation, ritual practices, and music’s relation to mysticism, as explored in exhibitions such 'Ritual without Belief' at London’s Gasworks, and their work for the major group show 'Transformer: a Rebirth of Wonder' exhibition at London’s 180 The Strand in 2019.

This is followed by 'Night Science (Deep Tissue mix)' by Most Dismal Swamp, a London based interdisciplinary art project and curatorial platform producing exhibitions, online events and music releases. We invited Most Dismal Swamp to contribute a mix on the theme of mysticism and technology, being interested in the way the platform speculates on weirding and reality in our online age.
