Taken from SBKT040: Yen Tech - Assembler

Release date: 28th May 2021

With Assembler, his second full-length album, Yen Tech re emerges in ecstatic and primordial new form -- a multi-layered and interwoven work that blends futuristic production, meta-science fiction, and anthropic critique into a dizzying array of next scenarios -- a maze-like vision of our technological and exponentially oracular, full-stack future.

This imagined future becomes a construct or place in itself; one in which the record buzzes and swarms; a mechanosphere of towering melodic vocal samples and sound design - all narrated by Yen Tech's unnerving, diaristic vocals - as he channels the form of post-human techno cretin, whispering hyperbolic ASMR to no one in particular. We follow this character from one disorienting experience to the next as he recites a stream of indecipherable neologisms and hyper-descriptives, the existential residue seeping from every line. In the end though, a strange, uneasy beauty comes into focus; the metamorphic lyrics and musical euphorias revealing Assembler as a type of elegy: a wet glass reflection of the failures of what we are and were - and a jubilant celebration of what we may become.

"I imagined Assembler as a type of self imposed simulation, an invisible boundary that the narrator has to navigate out of to move forward. It was a way of looking at how we may carry the issues and failures of the past with us into the future. The psychological baggage of history, the guilt of geotrauma, the addictive melange of technology all become dealt with in this stage of acceptance and recovery. I wrote the album with this in mind, a process to find the slimy pearl of who we are" - Yen Tech

@t-ripping debuts on Soul Feeder with a tears-in-the-club experimental banger.
Naturally blending dark ambient atmospheres, witch house leads and rawstyle kicks, as if they were always meant to go together, the founder of Disgust creates a deeply engaging sonic experience. With its startling arrangement, in fact, “Dysphoria” tries to translate into sound the emotional disruption and melancholic release that follow up an euphoric state, and how one can overcome this mental state by channeling their negative emotions into something playful.

LIFE SUCKS WHEN YOU CHASE HEDONISM

GHOST RAID is a Southern California based artist and DJ who creates blistering soundscapes, mangling and reinterpolating dance music and composition into pure catharsis. Heavily inspired by artists like Alparr, S280F, Iglooghost and former music teacher FITNESSS, they have been producing work which explores the intersection between harsh noise and club music. Having an extensive catalogue of their own work, they have also released music alongside contemporaries in the deconstructed electronic scene including Raiika, Cenaceae, Archidi and 2MANYCOLOURS. They are working on numerous projects which will be released over the coming months.

For this mix, GHOST RAID has welded together harsh electronics with euphoria, creating a soundscape akin to the dichotomy between heaven and hell. Cold, cybernetic and dystopian in nature, allow sound to fully consume.
