Next up in our recording series is Flight Club's very own co-captain, @christofferberg. Both Christoffer and I have played at several of our parties already, but remembering to record our sets—while also producing and hosting the party series—has proven easier in theory than in practice. This time, I finally managed to get a recording of Christoffer’s set, and I’m very excited to share it with you all.

Most of you, I imagine, are already familiar with Christoffer as one of our country's most reputable music producers (Robyn, Depeche Mode, The Knife, Fever Ray, Håkan Hellström). He has also run countless clubs and various cultural projects over the past few decades. Currently he is the force behind the @lovewithinsound system, built by Christofer and friends, which creates music and dance experiences inspired by David Mancuso's "The Loft" ethos. Christofer currently hosts after-work dance events at Konstepedemin/Husette with LoveWithinSound a regular basis (20:00–01:00) in Gothenburg. PM me to stay in the loop or have a look at Instagram at @LoveWithinSound

Enjoy!

John Duncan's "SAXMIX" is one massive piece of contemporary experimental music, which lets noise collide with free jazz and extreme minimalism. Duncan is a master when it comes to these things, and he is an artists constantly evolving, mutating and challenging. The sax thing then? JD has invited some of his fav sax players to collaborate with him; Mats Gustafsson, Antoine Chessex, Martin Escalante, Dror Feiler and Ulrich Krieger. Did I say MASSIVE? Well, it is.

Scheintot is a new trio consisting of Mats Gustafsson (sax/flute), Henrik Rylander (mixing desk) and myself on Korg MS20 which might be my fav synth ever, or right now at least. This is weird stuff. Not sure where this is going but I guess you will enjoy it if you are into stuff we have done before, but this sits comfortably in its own corner, not smart enough to be ashamed over sounding so infected.

Nice cover by Tochnit Aleph boss Daniel Löwebrück. Hot stuff, basically!

PLIB-031 KEVIN DRUMM & JOACHIM NORDWALL -  OLD PAIN
RELEASES FEBRUARY 1, 2025

Kevin Drumm & Joachim Nordwall have, respectively, spent collective decades carving out new pathways in the realms of electroacoustic, drone, ambient, noise, and improvised experimental music. Their variably multiplied ripple effect across the sonorous waters of disruptive sound cultures are indellibly marked by the touch of these two artists. Neither being strangers to intensive collaborations, the two stalwarts of meditative sonic practice convene to offer Psychic Liberation the eight song album Old Pain. At just under an hour, the pair shine in a complementary fashion across perfectly constructed chapters pulling from their signature tool kits of atmospheric field recordings, tape loops, and pensive oscillations. Cautiously sharing space, the album is at times as brooding as it is transcendent. 

Old Pain is an album nearly two decades in the making. Beginning in 2006, Drumm and Nordwall endeavored to record together in Chicago, a session ultimately abandoned purportedly due to the influence of “Listening to Finnish Black Metal and drinking good brews”. In 2007, Drumm released the cassette Purge on Nordwalls iconic label IDEAL Recordings. Later ,in 2013, Purge was reissued on CD for IDEAL and a subsequent performance together in New York City found the two still in each other's orbit. Later, Kevin would make an appearance in collaboration with Nordwall on his Communication Is The Key Album for Entr’acte in 2019. Whereas previous in-person sessions faltered, Old Pain was the result of the two artists working in their respective winter-heavy geographies of Chicago and Gothenburg, trading files until completion.

Today, Drumm and Nordwall are totems of an era of true advancement in tonal despair. Drumm’s output has been that of mythology, creating some of the most singular works in the canon of experimental music. Nordwall, an equally notable peer as maker, has maintained the global standards and operations of challenging art through his IDEAL Recordings project while performing in solo and collaborative contexts globally. Between the two, it would be a near impossible task to find an iteration of any peer or generation following not touched by the massive cultural imprint they’ve cemented. Finally, with Old Pain, we have a document of two masters of their form able to stretch their legs and pronounce a cohesive gesture of sonic material that will stand to long linger below the surface of comfort.

Dischorealism was initially intended to be a conceptual work about ”milk” but we quickly got tired of the idea and the result was partly something completely different. Nevertheless, partly the same in the sense of sucking the life out of somebody, exploiting and over consuming trust in any form. Dischorealism explores the cost of dual nature and circulates around themes such as friendship, sex, violence and drug abuse.

Dischorealism is IMAGE and SOUND and a collaboration between Vanligt Folk and videoartist Tobias Toyberg. This is the SOUND part of the collaboration.

Handmade jewel case art by Phantom Whistle.

Physical edition released on January 18th 2025 at Skeppet GBG. Limited to 300 copies.
