Following a debut Berghain performance and Rinse FM Culture vs Reality residency, Overthinker Mob founder Bloomfeld prepares the genesis of his digital art renaissance. Meeting at the intersection of ethno-futuristic braindance and hedonistic club heat is LT-BlOOM-01, the artist's debut on Lobster Theremin and a release that marks new sonic territory for the important UK label.

As the founder of Overthinker Mob research label, the Berlin based artist has “rejected conventional formats for releasing music” (FACT Mag) by “putting out unfinished or overthought music from artists anonymously” (Resident Advisor), compiling “a diverse range of anti-ego club tunes and sombre atmospheres'' (Electronic Beats). While allowing for the heads to over-intellectualise, Bloomfeld’s output often exposes what comes out of the speakers as just wiggly hair. After all, existence is a cosmic joke.

“My debut release is an introspective work documenting some of the characters I slipped into since my teenage years,” he says. “It’s named LARP OS - LARP being short for live-action role play - because role-playing is how I interact with my environment. And how everyone else does.”

“For my part I am blessed with the ability to distinguish and compartmentalise the characters I adopt to navigate my circumstances, and I have a strong bond with all of them.”

Glueing together the personas that live inside the creators skull, LARP OS is a deconstructed trip through trap-laden hi-hats, screw-face grime and IDM-electronica that walks the tightrope between functional and malfunctioning.

"waterlilies in fontiform" [framework editions, 2023] 🪷

Such an honor to be part of framework radio’s seasonal issues with a new piece of fontiform music! 

> listen/download: frameworkeditions.bandcamp.com/album/framework-seasonal-issue-14-summer-2023

Thought as a continuation of the work "for scarpa's fountains” [forms of minutiae, 2020], the composition "waterlilies in fontiform" weaves field recordings made in, on, and around the Tomba Brion in San Vito d'Altivole. Designed by the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa in the 70s, this burial ground materializes as a garden guided by a multitude of lines made of concrete, metal, marble, and glass. Yet as one wanders in this peculiar landscape, one soon realizes that concrete isn’t the tomb’s primary material, water is. As if submerged, the graves are encircled by basins interconnected by a network of fountains, rivulets, and pipes. Water striders, sporadic frogs, vibrant fish and tapestries of waterlilies glide over sunken pyramidal stepped edges, echoing ruins of bygone architectures. An aqueous rhizome at the heart of the garden which steers us through the whole sanctuary. The composition brings listeners into the various materialities of the space and the underwater hums of the fontiform network's machinery. Moreover, subtle algae photosynthesis, muffled voices of human visitors, and the garden's avian inhabitants infuse with life the architect's carefully organized matter. Ambiguous feelings arise as if perched in equilibrium on the crests of the tomb's multifarious structures. The piece ends with openings (both geographical and temporal) as the uncanny murmurs of the flowing waters are joined by the drones of another (temporary) Venetian fountain, Claire Tabouret's sculpture "Deux Baigneuses'', before fading into the vespertine soundscape of a small Portuguese village. A midwife toad calls in the darkness, bells resound in a valley, as Brion Tomb’s architectonic specter lingers in the flowing waters.

> Note: Tomba Brion is also the resting place of Scarpa himself, who shared that "the place for the dead is a garden".

> Recorded in the Tomba Brion in Altivole (april 2022), Palazzo Cavanis in Venice (april 2022), and in Peneda-Gerês National Park (may 2023).
Recorded with Aquarian H2a-XLR hydrophone, LOM Uši Pro, LOM Geofón, SoundDevices MixPre-6 II, Sony PCM-D100.

✹ DJ Latinchat is a Peruvian DJ and producer currently based in Berlin. It took him 2 deep reggaeton (or cosmic dembow as he dubbed them) tracks uploaded casually online at the end of 2022 to put his name on the map and catch the attention of Latin American club music enthusiasts.

"For the first time, I chose to include a lot of my own productions and edits in an online mix, some are unreleased tracks that will come out in the following months and some are taken from recent releases such as Tagadá and compilations by Rauversion and Love in the Endz. I also included a couple of very good unreleased tracks from friends. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did when they shared them with me.”

S+I PREMIERE: BARA & ISA - "BELLSONG" [JEOPARDIZE]

Taken from SBKT064: sideproject - sourcepond
Release date: 30th May 2024

Following up from work on Björk´s 'Fossora', Icelandic trio 'sideproject' debut on SVBKVLT with their new full-length album 'sourcepond'. Taking influence from the fog-covered wetlands of their native island, sideproject transfigure influences from the low-end frequencies of grime and bass music, and reshape it into a haze of transient-smeared beats accompanied by breathy synths that grow ever wetter till they slip beneath the surface tensions of their harmonic stratum. Compared to previous output, 'sourcepond' opts for a more concise approach to their music, stacking up their influences of experimental electronic, Icelandic punk and contemporary club music, and builds a sound that oscillates between melodic hooks and experimental rhythms. Each track carves through the sensuous material, pulling the listener into the dank sourcepond as though magnetic forces were guiding a bird's beak towards misty horizons.
