“Biloxi Retrograde Phantasm” by @jasper-k-lee

There’s a lightness to the margin where light pools in your velveteen hairs. And how the felted feathers spill from the wounded wood in autumn! Oh, and what is a wound but a chance to heal? In her you can see a slow, enveloping primacy that rings like cut crystal across a pond. Sometimes I even see myself reflected in her. Satin shelves and soft fractals. So teach me to answer questions with questions. Let me find strength in softness. Let me be porous like wood.

Etymology: Trametes versicolor, roughly meaning the thin, multi-colored one.

Properties: T. versicolor is a cosmopolitan, saprobic to weakly parasitic, white-rot fungus found in forests all over the globe. It’s cap colors are variable, ranging from blue to brown to green to gray, but it often has a color and shape reminiscent of a turkey’s tail. These distinctive colors are determined in part by the mineral content of the wood they are decaying, and they can be used to create natural dyes with blueish-green hues. The texture of turkey tail is similar to suede, and its flesh is tough and fibrous. The surface of the mushroom is covered in a fine, velvet-like texture and the bottom has minute pores. It has a long history of use in traditional medicine and is known affectionately as yun zhi in China and karawatake in Japan. Their polysaccharides, polyphenols and flavonoids are purported to be immunomodulatory, antitumor and antiviral. A comforting, brothy tea reminiscent of aged puerh can be made from the boiled flesh. 

Companions: Turkey Tails are partial to hardwood hosts throughout their range, but can be found associated with conifers from time to time. As early colonizers, they pave the way for a wider variety of wood-rotting fungi to take hold in novel environments. They are powerful decomposers of lignin, so they help to create the nutrients and space needed for new growth in a forest. Through decomposition, T. versicolor helps create habitat for cavity nesting birds and bugs. While they are considered inedible for humans, turkey tails are an important food source for fungus moths, gnats and maggots.

toiret status is the ultimate artificial butterfly, pollinating various leading experimental imprints with material that eventually blooms into the top tier experimental electronic music around. Coming from Yamaguchi, Japan, Isamu Yorichika has released a vast portfolio of releases via essential labels like Dream Disk Lab, Noumenal Loom and Orange Milk Records, including his latest full-length record 'Otohime' - one of our most favourite of 2020. We at Gin&Platonic are now delighted to guide you through his latest, collaborative-heavy EP - 'liquid house'.

Don’t get confused by it’s title though, it only refers to an ever-changing fluidity already crucial for Yorichika’s work. In contrast to the upper butterfly metaphor, he allegedly compares his workflow to the overall process of consuming, digesting and excreting food. Usually just rushing through the waste pipes, on 'liquid house', Isamu’s production fills the whole environment. Or rather - it creates it. 'liquid house' marks advanced beat-driven sound tectonics, outlined by witty synths and effected vocal samples, together forming a bumpy, unstable space constantly swaying and narrowing due to reverberation. Visiting Isamu’s liquid house is a purely joyful experience - glittery walls of the see-through interior wiggling against the laws of statics, casting glare and reflections of sun rays emitted amids this inhabitable sodden bouncy castle.

Maintaining the whole architectural process is not a one-man business tho. Isamu luckily managed to find helping hands of various remarkable producers. The Polish sound carpenter ehh hahah brings the finest of the “audio furniture“ off his latest album on Warsaw’s 𝓰𝓵𝓪𝓶𝓸𝓾𝓻 to equip the interiors of #88. The Hague-based, South Korean producer, Cat Psalm alias Sima Kim, helps setting up a proper cat climber inside of #72, while the enigmatic Soundcloud superstar Crimewave enhances #94 with decent trap-flavoured kicks. Talking remixes, Taiwanese producer Sabiwa plants some more fragrant flowers alongside the porch with her remix of #103. Tri Angle’s and Quantum Natives’ very own renegade Brood Ma does all the necessary plumbing duties, rinsing the sludge out of the pipes with a gloomy remix of #88. The TT and All Centre London based representative Harry Murdoch alias hmurd handles final rearrangements of the space, reading the property for a wild house-warming gathering.

HNADFUL OF SAND - X.NTe + Elevation is the debut jungle single released by Never Normal Records from the duo of Afro-diasporic producers hailing from Atlanta, GA. Inspired by sonic notions of glitch music combined with the rich traditions of jungle, and featuring electronic innovators including NO EYES and newcomer Canari Rouge (Empress Lex), the pair reveals a soundscape that people can dance or dream to.
