SHALT - Body Mirage (REMADE001)

Plasma Sources is proud to present nosync’s Soundsystem Music, an EP which provides a fresh perspective on the high-fidelity and sci-fi influenced electronic music the imprint is known for.  

nosync’s (https://soundcloud.com/user-775234683) work sits in a truly unique space in the sound system/club music-o-sphere. This in large part is due to his heavy deployment of progressive metal instrumentation, from chugging walls of overdriven guitars to relentless double-time kick patterns. On paper, utilising this palette in a club-music context may seem like an impossible task. However, where others might see a chasm of disparity, nosync has deftly identified the bridge connecting these two genres, seeing in these two landscapes the same desired emotional state - despite the different methodologies used to achieve this.  

“This record attempts to make the case that the essence of what makes these sounds so obsessively loved are one and the same. Gripping dramatism and intensity are the overlapping themes that I have attempted to bring out here, through the record’s sound design and film-like structure.” 

Indeed Soundsystem Music as a whole feels wildly cinematic and is as much an exercise in atmosphere creation as music for sound systems, with nosync citing the video game Dead Space and its sequel as key influences for this body of work. From the claustrophobic, elasticated wind chamber of ‘Traced’ to the broken choir voices and FiS-esque ambient abyss of ‘Dead Land’, nosync has expertly matched the pace and atmosphere of these hugely iconic and utterly terrifying video games and channeled them into a purely sonic experience.  

The metal influences nosync brings to the table slice through the entire corpus of Soundsystem Music, although the linkage is perhaps at its most clear on ‘Airlock’, which features a full-on death-metal guitar chugging through the first half. In perhaps the most surprising switch-up of the entire EP, things suddenly twist into a guttural underwater club track a third of the way through.  

nosync’s love for the vast ecosystem of club/soundsystem music also comes through loud and clear on this release, from the grime-inflected leads and hyper-detailed polyrhythmic noise workouts of ‘Unregistered Hypercam’ to the reverberated metal clangs of ‘Kauket’s Arena’ which feels like witch-house on steroids - the soundtrack to some final boss battle with some type of nightmare-demon-entity.  

nosync has achieved something unique with Soundsystem Music. By drawing together a hugely disparate corpus of influences and pummelling them into a noise-fuelled apocalyptic aberration, he has created a sound which feels consistent, fully his own, and in many places, utterly dread-inducing.

APEAK 'Serenity Before The World'

After a hiatus from his solo project Paavo Piekkari returns to Changeless as APEAK with his latest club forward offering ’Serenity Before The World’.

The four track EP explores what it’s like to exist in the world filled with distractions, love, hate, guestlists at various clubs and magick. Metros run at tight intervals in every part of the world, and people desire closeness after every afterparty. Perception of one’s reality can be altered with rituals or small bags of powders. If our goal is wakefulness, do we still fear the dreamless sleep after?

’Serenity Before The World’ opens with ‘Terminus’, a hard-hitting, noisy and colossal intro in the realm of the EP. ‘Terminus’ if followed by a collaboration with the legendary Northern Electronics and Posh Isolation affiliate Varg²™; their track ’Humid Air (上環)’ was born after two days of frenzy in Hong Kong together. The city seemed to breathe in and spit out everything that it inhaled, from the Rolex storefronts to the bright lights of the skyscrapers. While the first tracks of the EP showcase a more familiar sound from APEAK, the ecstatic ‘Dreamless Sleep’ unveils an entirely new, more euphoric side to his sonic palette. The EP’s closing track ’Stillness (TOMEANGLS)’ is an optimistic lullaby, that features guitars from fellow Hollowland band member Jonathan Engeldahl.

Recorded in Helsinki, Hong Kong & Leuven in 2022-2024

𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖒𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖊#225 📢 Ziyiz - Tract Topographies [Club Late Music ]

“The Overload flooded us. Consumed Us. Made us whole again”. As the time when "Transmute" was taking shape, so did the multiple global crisis. "Transmute" is an effort to represent the human spirit and its resiliency amidst the uncertainty, hopelessness and chaos of the current era.

Burnt Offerings is a duo consisting of Arthur Bdt (Incendie) and Andres Leon (Laopé). Their music oscillates from Drone to Cuban music, incorporating everything from traditional Latin instruments to modern sound design tools. These influences converge outside of their original contexts through heavy digital audio processing, deconstruction, and arrangement.  The sound can be best described as a disjointed yet symbiotic relationship between the past and the now.

RECORDS I BET YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNO I FUCKIN HAD (VOL. 1)

emma dj - Lay2g
Cat. Nr: DN028
Format: DL
Release Date: June 7 2024
Buy / stream: dansenoire.ffm.to/Lay2g

Emma dj doesn't give much away when it comes to his music. Twelve effortless stabs at post-bloghouse electronics brings the Paris-based, Finnish producer’s oeuvre out of the trap torpor of recent releases on Lee Gamble’s UIQ label, into the ecstatic crush of a world in chaos with the Lay2g LP on Danse Noire. Looking back at the late-2000s, early-2010s collision of the club and the stage, the album beckons to another era. It’s one of warehouse bands and indie sleaze, dance punk and industrial noise; a turn-of-the-millennium time where youth culture was rife with an after-9/11 nihilism so potent that an electro-drone band with a name like “Fuck Buttons” could be part of an Olympic opening ceremony.

Lay2g’s direct and dance-floor-friendly tracks with meaningless titles gleefully bump up against each other, whether in the crumbling industrial force of “I Fuck With Lies” or the propulsive gabber tempo of “Kd9.” It’s inspired by Emma’s early music education through hype.fm music charts and Dim Mak Records, with its echoes of Atari Teenage Riot’s digital hardcore or The Bloody Beetroots’ hoover synths. Crunchy, distorted, subs prop up the epic organ patches and math-y rhythmic structures of “RR.dkn.” A lumbering bass on “bQosYe” follows the lead of shattered top-end breakbeats and a syncopated vocal cut-up.

Managing the pain of contemporary reality with a sense of humor and humility is fundamental to the Nordic artist’s output, whether it’s in the wobbly subs of 2019’s Support Your Local Enemies or the offhand titling of 2023’s follow-up to Godrime, g0drm2. Meanwhile, Lay2g is a powerful, lightly-sardonic signpost in the no wave and mutant disco continuum, and a welcome harbinger of Paris’ deeply buried underground as it rears its uninhibited head.

REMADE is an imprint dedicated to the convergence of club dynamism and sound design intricacy.

The first release, Body Mirage, is SHALT’s introduction to this zone. Built on three tracks formed of pulsing bass, off-kilter drums and warping melodies, it is weighted between the kinetic dancefloor and slick digital synthesis.

“Mercury Pool” dives furthest down the rabbithole, constructing its own multi-dimensional environment out of viscous synths, glitching vocal effects and cascading bass plunges.
