Losing your mind in the brainforest at night. Scratching out ancient signs in the undergrowth. Hitting panic mode in an old railway tunnel. Running topless through the trees with camo-dirt smeared on your face. This is what it sounds like.

Feelings Matter

A promising track of EP2, plays around with a catchy and naive vocal phrase, insisting that ‘Sometimes It’s Hard’. The statement, sung by a soft but mechanical female voice, is underlined by a glitchy and relentless breakbeat layered with visceral subs. The track’s weltschmerz disposition is equally seductive and destructive, which makes ‘Sometimes It’s Hard’ an unusual tune that will satisfy both seasoned ravers and a wider festival crowd.

EP2’s mesmerising cover art, a piece created for affected called ‘Crinoid Scanner’, was made by local 3D artist Caroline Vang. The work is inspired by the alien yet familiar look of crinoid fossils. Finding her inspiration in the most alien and quirky parts of nature, Vang specializes in an experimental and surreal play of texture and shape, to challenge the line between fiction and hyper-reality.

Sometimes It's Hard is mastered by SUGAR aka. Nikolaj Jakobsen in Copenhagen.

Barkurkz (2024)

Digital Hundebiss is back, even though it's not Bandcamp Friday—because not even Bandcamp wants us rich. To be completely fair, it's not even Friday. 

This month, we have a special delivery from our friend Assyouti. 

https://assyouti.bandcamp.com/album/tough-choices-mister-blister

"Tough Choices" is a 167 BPM drumfunk-influenced percussive exercise, layered with Assyouti's signature distorted vocal samples and a roaring bassline. This high-impact combination of texture and rhythm is sure to feed hungry sound systems. 

Meanwhile, "Mister Blister" rolls in at a brisk 100 BPM, delivering a double-time momentum that drives the track forward with relentless force, exuding a sense of urgency and energy.

[FL014] FunctionLab CNY greeting release - GG Lobster - 動亂星 Stars of Turmoil EP

"Everything I do comes from romance, if I can't be romantic, then I won't make music anymore. "GG summarized in a post when "Punk Karaoke" was released.

Throughout the entire "動亂星 Stars of Turmoil EP", the Gabber / Hardcore influence cannot be erased, but this is already the result of GG's efforts to suppress this influence to the minimum. The sensory stimuli pursued at the DJ set were not all brought into his personal release. "動亂星 Stars of Turmoil EP" is concerned with what is happening now, not the cyberpunk ideas, the fantasy of the stars and the sea, nor is it a thing of the past.

Each track has a clear expression goal: "榮耀 Glory" uses a lofty melody to tells about GG's love for certain people and things, not only for the ambition he is putting into practice, but also for those who work as hard as he but People who have not yet made a name for themselves; "犬子來拜 Adoration of Sons" expresses his dissatisfaction with the current situation around him and unilateral provocations against some rogues in a restless voice; "動亂星 Stars of Turmoil" uses a lot of rhythmic patterns of traditional Chinese lion dance, and his emotional foundation is built on Encourage the FunctionLab team and the entire Hangzhou music scene; "香港 Sweet Harbour" focuses on the expectation of love between person to person, with the characterization of delicate melody as the lead.

"My temper is still very strong, but now I feel that fighting with music is a more effective and smarter way." GG sees this EP as a successful self-positioning rescue and a safer emotional release. If you want to make a distinction between his musical career, maybe style and technology are not the most important boundaries, and the change of mindset is the real watershed. Although in music, he has reconciled with it, but in his life, the rebellious attitude could not be changed. Don't roar lyrics is only a partial concession, and the music still carries his sharp opinions, those passionate opinions.

"Let those assholes hear the aggressiveness in my heart and the ambition of FunctionLab and I, and let those who are smug and arrogant about their small achievements hear, there must be a winner or loser one day. "In addition, more is unruly and open love. This is the fate of GG Lobster, and it's what he is. Those extravagant lyrics that don't care are now internalized in his heart, leading him and guiding him.

"I hope you can hug your companions after listening, especially those who are still with you while doing things like moth fluttering fire with you." This is the most sincere, the most meaningful suggestions from GG Lobster about this EP.
