Vegard - 5884bpm157

Weaving wistful, introspective lyrics into a densely layered landscape of samples and sonic textures, “The Itch” interrupts reality and inserts an altered state of being—outside consensual time and space—in the here and now.
 
If reality posits a stable relation between body, consciousness, and environment, “The Itch” longs for its reversal: An oscillating movement, floating without ground, piecing reality back together through melodically recurring memories. In another register, one would call this desire. In yet another, the virtual.

Basile3 announces debut album with first single ‘In the clouds’

43°C, the debut LP by French electronic producer Basile3, is the result of a decade of cultivating a musical identity that focuses on hybridization, sonic recycling, and playfulness. The enigmatic title “43°C” signifies a haze of bliss (4+3=7, the producer’s lucky number) backdropped by the ecological state of a world that’s grown slightly but surely warmer. In this anticipation fiction, Basile3 offers a soundtrack that is an exploration of urban electronic music, minimalist techno and lofi house. Basile warmly invites listeners to his state of mind, blooming with genre-bending floating soundscapes.

The first single “In the clouds” is a groundbreaking track that seamlessly blends Breakbeat, Drum & Bass, and Abstract IDM Leftfield. With its percussive rhythms and deep basslines and melodies, Basile3 offers us a glimpse of his anticipation fiction.

Basile3 has developed his sound and identity through multiple intimate artistic collaborations across the UK and Europe. This is shown from his early participation in Gang Fatale (London’s former “nerd kids” club music collective), to his recent live and studio collaborations with InFiné labemates (Deena Abdelwahed, Sabrina Bellaouel, Gaspar Claus), as well as his latest collaboration with AD93’s Minor Science. It’s, thus, no surprise to find many collaborations on his debut album, which features the vocals from Thelma Cappello, Daisy Ray, Lloydfears and Lucy Sissy Miller,  Minor Science‘s work on the mix, and the artworks by Thelma Capello.

Following the release of his debut EP, Mizuchi returns with a powerful new three-track project that pushes their sound into darker, heavier territory. Inspired by iconic video games and the suspense-filled worlds of Tom Clancy’s novels, the music is weaved into a narrative rich with intrigue & espionage.

Each track takes listeners deeper into intricate soundscapes and driving basslines, complemented by cyberpunk-esque arpeggios and layered synth atmospheres. Mizuchi's evolving style shines through in these tracks, delivering a sound as cinematic as hard-hitting. With this release, Mizuchi continues to explore the boundaries of their artistry, crafting music that’s stripped back and primed for the dancefloor.

Mizuchi - Rainbow Six

i left the town
and he drove me home
i stare at him
in the parking lot

i quit the days
and he stays away
i disappear
after he leaves
i left the town
and he drove me home
i cry during sex
we lay in bed

i broke my legs
and he took me home
and we drank, we drank
and i died

my headache isn't gone
when you miss the rain
i had a dream
while taking a bath
he cries while i leave
and i stay quiet

the last ride home
