For Joseph Kamaru (KMRU) a Nairobi-born Berlin-based sound artist, sound is a sensorial medium through which social, material and conceptual interpretations are manifested in his works.

He has earned international acclaim from his performances and releases , at the Barbican, Berlin Atonal, Présences électronique, and releases on Editions Mego, Subtext, Seil Records.

🌿 ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ꜱᴏɴɪᴄ ᴀɢᴇɴᴄʏ

Spurred on by the acuteness of current global events, we are raising our voices in solidarity with the oppressed, the tortured, the silenced, and the unheard. While humanity is at stake, and our values are on trial, in moments of despair, rage and endless grief, acts of solidarity are needed more than ever. The events that shake Palestine and Israel are resulting in an ever-tighter spiral of violence and desperation. They are a horrific wake-up call that brutally brings the precarious situation on our planet to the fore. The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, and Israel’s collective punishment of Palestinian civilians are intolerable. On top of that, the military actions threaten the lives of the remaining hostages in the Gaza-Strip, and even more innocent people in Gaza.

Listening is not neutral.
Listening shapes the reality we live in.
Listening is shaped by ethics and politics and leads back to it.
Listening is directly linked to memory and identity.
Listening is as important as speaking.
Listing is an active act.

- Kristen Soller, April 2022


“In the back of the throat there is a subterranean river that holds you, humming towards the cave’s end. This end is a liminal mirror reflecting the contours of your voice. The mirror shows how —when brought to certain aquatic depths— unheard of limbs and wondrous branches are prone to sprout from your voice. Blind sibyls, your voice’s branches climb towards the surface, in search of light and warmth. After the great drought, your voice’s limbs persevere. They stand naked, pulsating in the purple that lies underneath grey. Your voice’s limbs erect themselves as monuments to air, kin among the deafening night. The water level is now only tall enough to keep your voice’s core below. Your voice, fed by the swamp, cradled by duckweed, wrapped in horse tail, has become a secret organ. Your voice palpitates and releases twin echoes that undulate, to smoke’s rhythm, in the afterglow. Intricately connected by labyrinth to soil and moon, through the water lilies’ roots, your voice weaves an underweb that flickers like the eye of a flame. Your voice sediments the entwined veils of miracle and prayer.”

Premiere: taupe set xl - Iridescence [enmossed]

What is cybertech?

Cybertech is differentiated from it's closest cousins, electro and techno, by eschewing a nostalgia fetish and lack of innovation often predominating contemporary genres.

As those genres grow ever increasingly homogenised, derivative and weak cybertech has become more laser focused in a direction towards a new sonic vision.

Having it's genesis in the mid 2010s with pioneers such as DJ Stingray and Galaxian.  It relates closely with elements of vivid sound design, unusual rhythmic patterns, innovative sounds, using 21st century techniques & tools.

It's mood will often be one of tough, technotic patterns, metallic percussion, interspersed with otherworldly soundscapes, intricate effects, hyper-dynamic song structure.

As drum & bass and dubstep consumed themselves, eventually birthing new hybrid "post" genres, cybertech sets it sights on expanding as a genre, spirit and ethos for the "post" electro & techno age.

PREMIERE // Galaxian - Proofing Defence

After a decade of familial collaboration within the formative canon of the PL project, Elizabeth Davis proposes the potentially conclusive effort of Wilted Woman with "What's Her Secret?". Baroque computational improvisations, off-kilter frequency modulations, serene CR-78 yacht-yoga grooves, minimalist rhythmic studies of the highest pensive proto-techno order... Really, What's Her Secret?

Wilted Woman here offers the best evolution of every tape, 7" EP, 12" EP, and LP effort she has shared of her absolutely singular and maximal catalog to date. Here we see the Wilted one at her least frivolous and most direct. Having been a major bridging force between shifting generations of DIY ethos and ideologies, as well as a rallying force between American and European networks and geographies, Davis shows AGAIN that she is the understated synth-but-punk utilitarianist underdog BOSS of the PL roster. It would be a trivialization of her immensity to note that Psychic Liberation simply would not have existed in the manner it has established itself without Wilted Woman's consistent contributions since her first setting foot into the New York City PL store in 2013 to drop off her handmade cassettes. Simply, Davis is an indelible part of the ideological and formal architecture that has positioned this label project to continue it's efforts.

"What's Her Secret?" is a six song digital LP attached to a limited run of t-shirts. In the face of the widening gap between signal and signifier, medium and message, and those we have lost in the stereo wars, this chapter marker of an advancement in fashion will dissolve to dust...The files that come with the shirt will eventually be consolidated into some neurodigital vessel, indexicalized at the blink of your right eye, followed by the twitch of your nose, followed by a scratch of the groinal region, and ultimately played back at the conclusion of a sneeze. And as you adjust your cybernetic entry port at the back of your neck, you will stare vacantly out towards the horizon, squinting only able to ask yourself one thing.

"...What's her secret?"
