Animistic Beliefs - MERDEKA

With their profound take on electronic music, Animistic Beliefs have steadily solidified their spot in the global underground. Influenced by cultural concepts such as ancestry, animism and mythology, as well as the languages of political techno, punk, bubbling and IDM, Linh Luu and Marvin Lalihatu consistently translate their visions into sensitive productions as well as high-octane live performances. On their new record, MERDEKA, the artists explore and embrace their cultural heritage in all of its pride, pain and complexity. MERDEKA symbolizes Animistic Beliefs’ breaking free, coming to terms with their changing selves and letting go of external expectations. The record rethinks childhood memories, confronts the generational trauma left by (post-)colonialism, and re-connects Linh and Marvin – respectively of Vietnamese-Chinese and Dutch-Moluccan descent – with their formative cultures. 

MERDEKA marks their first step in an overall departure from western club music. For its layered sound, Animistic Beliefs once again draw from the past, present and future of global club music, creating a sonic space where fast techno, warped breakbeats and ambient soundscapes make way for the augmented influence of (Southeast Asian) tribal music. 
The record incorporates Indonesian scales and recordings of 
the Tahuri (a wind instrument made out of a conch shell), Totobuang (Gamelan-like gongs) and Tifa drums, known as ‘the Moluccan heartbeat’. 
There is no audible distinction between old and new, between organic and digital, between instrumentation and voice. 
It is through words that the artists further touch on their experience; To Dream About Water opens with a stirring spoken word fragment by Marvin, marking the first time his voice is recognizably featured, whereas Khi Minh Gap Lai (‘Until We Meet Again’) centres on a Vietnamese poem by Linh, in which she beseeches her ancestors and finds a safe haven for unanswered questions. 

In true Animistic Beliefs fashion, MERDEKA will set fire to sweltering clubs and (sleepless) dreams. Yet, for the artists, it is essential to amplify the stories that spark that flame and keep it burning. 
The release of MERDEKA follows CACHE/SPIRIT, their ongoing collaboration with visual artist Jeisson Drenth, which extensively explores the artists’ intersectional identities. As such, the latest album is the next step within a bigger, introspective investigation. More unapologetic than ever, MERDEKA embodies a turning point on Animistic Beliefs’ ongoing journey towards self-acceptance – fuelled by the sound of urgency.

IM098 - Born in Flamez - Play
Label: Infinite Machine
Release Date: September 16th, 2022
Format: Digital

Born In Flamez double single ‘Play’ presents a ferocious claim for dissent bodies in the form of two relentlessly queer anthems. Known for their experimental and enigmatic approach on identity expression, with ‘Play’, Born In Flamez delivers an uncompromisingly sensual revision of a crunk classic and a banging collaboration with the cross-border performance artist Muxxxe.

Originally conceived as the soundtrack for a multidisciplinary performance involving physical expression, censorship, transformation and plastic waste, ‘This is what my body says’ depicts a call for body liberation upon the decline of the world, the collaboration with the masked artist from Tijuana ‘Muxxxe’ bounds together a feeling of distinctive tenacity that comes along with queer emancipation.

With xenomorphic atmospheres, heavy mechanic percussions and alienish echoes the EP constrains the most redemptive side of Born In Flamez in the form of two unapologetic and futuristic rap pieces.

English Version_
We welcome the new year with Venezuelan newcomer OCTUBRXLIBRV. Today we present TRA003, ‘Negro in Negro’, his debut EP. On this excursion through the murky valleys of the northern coast of South America, the Caracas native tries to redefine the expression "perreo violento". Four bangbangs fuse reggaeton, bass and jungle in the underworld antros with sharp, tenderising flesh percussions that are torn apart by the piercing low ends.

In addition, this pack comes with two equally hellish remixes: AYA, one of the circuit’s most disruptive producers reinterprets ‘Garganta’, delivering an unclassifiable and propulsive version; while the titan of the British-Colombian bellaqueo, Florentino, reimagines ‘0212’.


Spanish Version_
Decidimos recibir el nuevo año con flores aciagas: hoy le damos la bienvenida al venezolano y new-comer OCTUBRXLIBRV, quien presenta para la referencia TRA003, ‘Negro in Negro’, su EP debut. En esta excursión que atraviesa los valles sombríos del norte suramericano, el caraqueño intenta redefinir  la expresión “perreo violento”. Cuatros totes funden el reggaetón, el bass y atisbos de jungle con filosas percusiones que hablandan la carne y que termina de ser desgarrada por las punzantes frecuencias bajas. Además, el pak viene con dos remixes también infernales: AYA, una de las productoras más disruptivas del circuito reinterpreta ‘Garganta’, entregando una versión inclasificable pero propulsiva, mientras que el titán del bellaqueo colombo-británico, Florentino, reimagina ‘0212’. Así bailamos el no futuro.
