"San Francisco born singer-songwriter La Favi presents 'Adicta', her new full-length album.

'Adicta' tells stories of love and addiction where Favi's voice makes the listener feel the intense emotions that drive dependency. The 10 tracks that alternate between Spanish, English and Spanglish unite sonic elements of trap and club with traditional melodies that undulate between nihilism and hope, adrenaline, sadness, seduction and sweetness. The album was produced under the Parisian label Promesses with rap/reggaeton and club/experimental producers including: Glass, DJ GÄP, Brodinski, Modulaw, lagrima, JINN_PR, MONVCO, KALIFRN, rosaliedu38 and Maoupa Mazzocchetti. 'Sticky' featured vocals from prominent Mexican singer-songwriter Foudeqush.

The seemingly anachronistic sonic elements and influences joined together in 'Adicta' paint a vivid sonic capture of dreams and memories of the artist that offers an intimate approach to her subconscious in this transgressive album that promises to be remembered as a heart wrenching cross-border club classic."

La Favi - Need That (prod. by DJ GÄP)

A phone call with a past mentor who at age 95 is still teaching piano, a memory of giggling at her transfixed mother photographing swans, a feeling of being floored whilst unearthing letters from her parents’ relationship. Exploring her most personal narratives to date, Laenz’s album ‘88 keys’ is suffused by the power of unwavering devotion - both towards others and towards lifelong study of music. Leaving behind the guilt of adolescent indignation and deviation from classical music towards fascination with leftfield dance music, the release circles back: a reverence to former piano teachers and the nurture they instilled in her.

Across ’88 keys’, loosely tethered memories and the intricate yet unpredictable sonic turns Laenz is known for are grounded through bass frequencies. On ’’11’ which samples recordings of Laenz’s last public performance of Bach’s ‘Chaconne in D minor’ arranged by Busoni, sustained solemnity is beset against misty, dubbed-out percussive explorations of piano acoustics. ’’24’ reminisces on lazy walks by Berlin canals, basslines ebbing hazily below spiralling hi-hats and caliginous melodies. ’9-30-91’ delicately re-casts one of the many love letters written by her father to her mother when they began dating, into a sonically distinct, tenderly stripped back vocal track. The lyrics read: ‘My dear, I miss you so much, I miss you deeply, from the bottom of my heart. Thoughts of you, occupy my whole heart, and every corner of my mind’.

Conversations, past performances, and archival recordings are run through iterations of radio transmission-reception, audio becoming irreversibly lost or altered into ambiguity. Each titled after a year, though not emotionally bound to it, the tracks are an aggregate of Laenz’s desire to calibrate them actively in her current memory—resisting any inevitable, obsolescent effects of time’s passing. In Laenz’s words ’88 keys’ ‘though a fraction of the appreciation I have for my parents, Carolyn Shaak, and Larry Graham, this project was from start to finish an ode to their impact. 

The singles ‘’11’ and ‘‘24’ are out on the 2nd and 9th May, ahead of the full album release on 16th May 2025.

Artist Bio:
Laenz is a producer based in Brooklyn, NY, working within radiophonic textures and caliginous dance music. Her work explores the sonification of indeterminate spaces, saturating abstract musical forms with intensely tender and personal observations. She uses vocals, radio equipment, and live processing in her performances, sonifying unknowable sounds into unsuspecting ears. She holds a Lot residency, and has released projects under Woozy, Early Reflex, Dance Data, and more.

Conceived as part of an A/V show with visual artist Nicolò Cervello, ‘Kitbashing’ marks ABADIR’s third album for SVBKVLT.

A growing number of people spend an extensive amount of time watching, scrolling, liking, commenting on and sharing content, whilst at the same time feeding a constant stream of personal data to social media platforms. Social media can be fun and informative, or draining and dark. Either way, their algorithms are purposefully designed to lock users in a continuous state of scrolling. The more time spent online, the more desires, interests and emotions are fed into the algorithm for consumerist ends and reality is reduced to a timeline of curated aesthetics.

Using audio snippets from reels, suggested posts, and sponsored ads, sound objects are cut, micro-edited and meshed together into a collage. Tension is built gradually before falling into a release. Rhythms keep expanding and contracting, simulating the pace of random scrolling on mobile devices. ‘Kitbashing’ is an attempt to break the algorithm: subverting the dynamics by feeding on the algorithm instead of only feeding it.

Listen to "Kimbanda" by fransia 98 taken from "Kaosmetrik" out on September 9th via NAAFI

Four tracks from Chilean producer fransia 98 where polyrhythmic percussion drives a fusion between club music and imaginary, timeless landscapes. Sound recycling and collage techniques become concrete tools for exploring new textures and cryptic forms - building an experience where rhythmic complexity meets digital dream states.

fransia 98 - Kimbanda (NAAFI)

“Softer hands” introduces a reality where art-electronics emerge from familiar club language. Sentimental melodies spray delicate feelings over metallic, hypnotising backgrounds. Distant, angelic choirs are softly moulded and shaped by whirring mechanical sounds, hisses and swooshes. Over time, the music leads inward, letting light through densely packed soundscapes. The result is touching, otherworldly, at times uncanny or post-apocalyptic, like an ensemble of machines learning to feel. The circle of three remixers perfectly understands the language cratje operates in, adding to the universe created within four original tracks.
