A soundtrack to an alternative future, bringing together aural experiments from a global matrix of forward-thinking artists that loosely align around a contemporary perspective of the club. In this first episode, personalbrand is joined by hard drum kingpin B E N N (@bedoublensound) from Taipei, Taiwan, representing the label Over My Body.

POSTWORLD E3 w/ ZAGAM [Live set] | 31.07.22

@lloydfears is a Berlin-based MC, performer, and artist from the North of england. Their EP Saint & Ogre is the first solo project on POSTWORLD.

After the cathartic release of lockdown anxiety on Gressive [Infinite Machine] and the delicate re-emergence into the outside world on Self-Soothe [xenonyms], on this new project lloydfears brings listeners along on a shared exploration of the possibilities of hope. Over four tracks, Lloyd uses hope as an emotional and logical response to the daily dose of dystopia.

Mad at the world? You need to calm down. In need of connection? Say it, sincerely. Tired of posturing for the eyes online? Try some honesty, honestly.

lloydfears - Faking (honestly) [Saint & Ogre EP Out NOW]

Based in Buenos Aires, Cimarrón is a producer and sound artist who creates hyper-contemporary, genre-fluid compositions that blur the boundaries between experimental club music and Latin rhythms. His debut EP Sin Cara, Sin Nombre [NODO label] narrated a liberating process of profound inner change through heartbreaking yet euphoric club beats.

His second project, Rubí/Zafíro, is in a sense a continuation of Sin Cara, Sin Nombre. Here, Cimarrón delves deeper into a club-focused sound, offering stomping drums over harsh euphoric synth leads, without compromising his experimental approach to sound design or his Latino influence. Yet in another sense, it is a great departure. In contrast to the at times gloomy mood of his debut, this new EP celebrates the bliss of expressing oneself, in a cheerful and exciting way.

ICEFALL is a split single from Beatrix Weapons and Mente3000 where each provides a freezing cold remix of one of the other's tracks.

On Capsule Love, Mente3000 is joined by MODULE. Together they come up with an arctic headnodder riffing around a pounding kick and a joyful vocal sample. Refreshing like a snowball in the face.

Next, Beatrix Weapons flips 7774L1F3 with a creeping crawling bass and hyper hi-hats, building to a sequence of spontaneous avalanches.

No more dystopias, please. The end of the world has been a prevailing theme of so much club music in recent years. On GLOBAL METANOIA, 10 artists choose instead to explore how an injection of hope might lead to something far more radical. 

From Beatrix Weapons’ cathartic mashing together of IDM, industrial, and breakcore, to SUTA’s bubbling experimental pop, to Die In Polar’s vocalising over a pounding high-speed tresillo, the producers featured here not only push club music deep into adventurous new terrains, but manage to do so with a genuine smile.

Third single from Sanjonas' forthcoming album Incunabula Heroes, out May 17 on POSTWORLD.

Sanjonas, aka Yonaz Kristy, is a Yogyakarta-based artist, graphic designer, electronic music producer, and DJ. He is the co-founder of the Bast Cultura music collective; founder of RAR Editions (2012), an interdisciplinary collective focusing on research and archive-based projects; part of the SOFT/BRUTE Records label; and has recently started the label Ear Flux with Brrrz Studio.

Incunabula Heroes, the first solo album on POSTWORLD, is a speculative fiction-based album that envisions the recurring formation of new worlds in the aftermath of a revelatory apocalypse. Over 8 tracks, Sanjonas plays with the idea of how cultures and civilizations would be mixed and merged in such scenarios, with sensemaking thrown aside in favour of something visceral and universal.

For our seventh release, @vyaliyy presents a head-twisting two-tracker that merges elements of drill, noise, and baile into a cohesive outburst of human-meets-machine joy. Showing an artful sense of misdirection, vyaliyy serves up a soundtrack for the lack-of-attention economy that's certain to leave you very pleasantly discombobulated.

Congealing distorted vocals, twist-turn rhythms, and an eerie screeching synth within a tense, expansive soundscape, Fuck Hope is a can't-miss cut from Kenji Araki's new album Hope Chess, out today on Affine Records.

-----
Originating amidst a time of artistic and personal transition and maturation, Hope Chess is the sophomore album by Kenji Araki, a Vienna based digital artist and musician with roots in Japan.

Drawing inspiration from a wide range of sonic influences and practices, the album is home to calculated subtleties, bold juxtapositions as well as a unifying tapestry of texture and harmony. Though Kenji Araki’s musical situatedness in a heterogenous web of post-club approaches stays evident, Hope Chess takes a more leftfield turn. It defies potential expectations built up by Kenji's debut record Leidenzwang and shifts to a more introspective sound, granting the melodies, vocals, and textures more time and spatial freedom to unfold.

Moments of serenity interweave with controlled eruptions, conveying feelings of vulnerability and catharsis. It’s an honest reflection of Kenji’s personal life throughout the last year. Negotiating matters such as sincerity, introspection, and collective trust, offering counter-narratives to the literal idea of hope chess, namely letting others’ actions and missteps determine the outcome. Instead, the record is a sonic embrace of community and immediacy.

W.ANNA.W (@0i8ndx78ay8s) has had an impressive 2023, releasing a solo project on Tokyo's Mizuha and a collaborative EP with Quit Life on Soul Feeder.

Her POSTWORLD debut is arguably her most experimental output yet. On the first track, 0, W.ANNA.W masterfully manipulates a noise recording of a car engine, showing a calm curiosity by pulling out layers of intriguing and eerie textures from this most mundane of sound sources.

But this is just a prelude. The second track's title, 剣片喰 (Kenkatabami), is based on the sword, an image that represents the shape of W.ANNA.W's family crest. Traversing ideas of personal history and tradition, W.ANNA.W incorporates taiko drums and koto to express a martial spirit, arranging these alongside a range of microsounds into a dramatic shapeshifting piece that at times brings to mind the organic thump of gorge.

This fascinating two-tracker is accompanied by a newly commissioned artwork by Morgan Patimo.

For our first release of 2024 we welcome @undrwght, a prolific producer from Mexico who has long been cultivating a highly individual take on Latin club music. On his 𝙔𝙜𝙜𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙡 EP, his productions burst and blossom, rooted with grimey basslines while vibrating percussion shoots all the way up to the canopies.

In Norse mythology, the Yggdrasil tree connected the many realms of the universe, linking gods, giants, and mortals. Here, Undrwght connects his many musical influences to draw in listeners whatever their natural or supernatural status.

Enjoy the booming first single Bifröst.

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

Genre tags. How outdated, how limiting. In our everything-all-at-once media landscape, dull catch-all terms like 'dance' are no longer useful for artists and archivists hoping to describe music that spills and oozes out of any box you try to force it into.

As a test case, take At Her Open Door, aka Taiki Kobayashi, an artist who crosses dubstep, experimental, IDM, rave, trance, gabber, noise, and 80s synthwave. For his new EP 𝙀𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙮 𝙀𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙚𝙨, he says his productions give form to the sound he wants to hear, a sound that fuses conflicting emotions and expressions.

Perhaps 30 seconds or so into 𝘈𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘳 you think you've got his number, nodding along to the complex uplifting trance chords. But then comes the noise, the glitches, the distortion, the ultrachaos.

Or how about 𝘔𝘶𝘭𝘴, which begins with metallic phrases that seem predictably grime-adjacent, before suddenly switching up into a hard trance untz-athon.

Finally, 𝘠𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘴 is a violent hypercontemporary glitched-out deconstructed club track that's also a nostalgic hoover-driven rave anthem. You can read that again if you need to.

So any ideas for how to categorise this would be much appreciated. Leave your answers in the comments. Please like and subscribe.

Cold @enn_0000 remix of @os76mx N-SOPORTA, a Bandcamp-only bonus track from the upcoming BAJO PLEASUR3 project coming September 4.

ENN is a producer and DJ based in the south of Mexico City whose sound embodies a constant search for hybridization and the deterritorialization of club music. This remix reframes a classic Future vocal into OS76's gritty and unworldy soundscape.

BAJO PLEASUR3

OS76 - N-SOPORTA (ENN Remix/Mask Off Ed1t)

Daniel Barrera aka @os76mx is a digital image and sound creator and a cultural manager based in Iztapalapa on the eastern periphery of Mexico City. As OS76, his productions connect rhythms and sequences inspired by ritual, devotion, and the street, blurring genres into pieces that stimulate and encourage.

BAJO PLEASUR3 offers 6+1 tracks with urgent, powerful sounds centered around thick bass and broken rhythms. To listen is to enter a highly textured vortex of sound that is equal parts sanguine and resistant.

Forceful bass envelops frenetic compositions representing the aggressiveness and corrosion of daily life in near-uninhabitable expansion zones. Vocal samples dictate unashamed mantras, demanding we obey our instinctive and animal aspects while accepting our contamination by the murky landscapes that surround us. In the nuclear residue of cities, the energies of forgotten populations erupt. A disorienting flow of untameable asperity, a chaotic resonance transmitted from the peripheries.

The EP includes a club-ready bonus remix by ENN, a producer and DJ based in the south of Mexico City whose sound embodies a constant search for hybridization and the deterritorialization of club music. The remix reframes a classic Future vocal into the EP's gritty and unworldy soundscape.
