Diana Azzuz’s first solo installment on Standard Deviation is the artist’s initial connection to electronic club sounds and presents a subtle transformation within her artistic practice. Through her mostly conceptual approach, Azzuz seeks to challenge notions of sound explicitly by disobeying common expectations and preconceptions. The EP is called ”Anastrophe”, a fitting title describing rearrangement as a strategy to create sound.

The Video shot for the second track ”Recursive Gesture” revolves around the idea of metamorphosis in the modern world, highlighting unpredictable, unidentifiable aspects of human ways of thinking within the so dominantly emerging cross-virtual world. Azzuz wants to present the limitations of human preconceptions in the virtual age of uncertainty and fluidity. As the artist describes, ”why are things perceived to be fixed and certain and how can I communicate and articulate this contingency?”, Azzuz draws on different tools like AI in her work, visually depicting a fluid state of self-modulation, morphosis within time and space, aiming to emphasize the fundamental ambiguity within our lives.

While ”A Very Touchy Spot”, the first track of the EP is a subtle and mysterious entry into Azzuz’ world of sounds, using ambient textures combined with classical drum elements, ”Recursive Gesture” tries to escape this initial idea towards influences of Grime, Bass and contemporary forms of Dubstep creating a powerful bass roller. ”Pathos”, the last track on the EP, is a heavy hitting roundup taking on modern club sounds, using elements of Gabber, Trance and Hardcore. Inherent to all tracks, a rather dark mood carries the tracks and embeds them into a coherent ambiguous feeling of unpredictability, uncertainty and fluidity.

The EP get’s supported with remixes from M.E.S.H., who’s contributing with a new Alias ”eea” (Extreme Energy Availability) on ”Recursive Gesture”. Cologne based musician Swan Meat rounds it up, taking a shot on ”Pathos”.

KhalilH2OP
'Isoscele'

'Isoscele' is the new EP from KhalilH2OP, their first release following the acclaimed album 'The Water We Drink'. An entirely collaborative work, the four tracks place others in the foreground, whether they be friends or family nearby, or international accomplices that come in and out of orbit from afar.

The trio at the heart of KhalilH2OP remains; Minais B, Yen Towers & vocalist NikkiH2OP on this occasion active in the production work and handing the microphone to others. The opening track, Ferrari, is one of the group's first, and it takes the differing perceptions of death and grieving in Scandinavia and Mexico as its theme. The lyrics were written and recorded with Mexican vocalist Ana Lopez in Copenhagen, and tells the story of how Lopez's uncle was sent to heaven with flowers and music, not into the ground in silence, ruminating on how the cosmic inflects one's perceptions and choices. Shatter and Jericho are a pair of collaborations with Copenhagen artists Panxing and Sa Rah, respectively. Jericho marks the latter artist's debut, and is a bewildering ride through glacial synths and cascading artefacts of percussion, with clutches of voice hovering in between each and every dimension. The EP's final track—and namesake—brings Danish-Italian composer and vocalist Francesca Burattelli, as well as Danish-Russian flautist Andreas B. Trap-Jensen, into the fold. Burattelli's lyrics, sung in Italian, are paired with a warm and dancing woodwind recital that together manage a kind of cyber-pagan shoegaze.


The thrill of 'Isoscele' is in its attitude and unrestraint.
The world of KhalilH2OP is infinite.
We see you.

@hadji-hajj
Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us. We need to let these flames manifest themselves in the world by creating art. Let the fire burn freely, let it show us the light. Let music strike fire from the heart and bring tears from the eyes.
It is time to let go of your fear and doubts. You must learn to embrace the darkness of your soul, for it is a light beacon of hope for humanity. Your soul wants to show itself in its truest form, strength, perseverance, courage and determination of spirit. In this lifetime your soul needs to cleanse and open its feelings for katharsis. This current physical lifetime offers you a new leaf, to be able to learn to balance obsolete, distorted behaviors.

The Burn of Fire

Hajj - U don't need to hide urself

The Caretaker conjures a quieter, more introspective spirit, lost in his own mind amidst a low-lit labyrinth of ever-decaying and antediluvian shellac phrases. Sourced from a mysterious collection of 78s, these vague snippets of archaic sonics reflect the ability of Alzheimers patients to recall the songs of their past, and with them recollections of places, people, moods and sensations.

02 - Moments of sufficient lucidity

15 - The sublime is disappointingly elusive
