The newest vinyl release from 29 Speedway, UltraBody, is a compilation record featuring the music of Jake Muir, Pent & Dylan Kerr, Nexcyia & mu tate, James K, Flora Yin-Wong, Ex Wiish & Dorothy Carlos, Kamran Sadeghi, Tati au Miel, James Hoff, Eric Frye, qwqwqwqwa & sop.io, Muein, & Maxwell Sterling. The record is emblematic of the artists who have performed at 29 Speedway shows in New York and Europe over the past two years, and is the third in a series released by the label.

The first single, ‘Sans Titre’ by Nexcyia & Mu Tate, is out now. 

The LP is available for pre-order on Rubadub, Boomkat, and Bandcamp.  

UltraBody investigates how the self, spirituality, and language are intertwined with the intervention of subjectivity by new technologies. With increasingly sophisticated tech, and the supposed ability to remake the world and ourselves, what differentiates our individual discretion from the will imposed upon us by software? Quoting Walter Chaw, “Decades of rampant, unregulated and ill-considered technological leaps have begun to evolve, to mutate, humans at a biological level”. This haphazard acceleration towards a techno-utopic transformation of humanity has faulted, and as William Gibson put it wisely, is leading us to live in a “half assed singularity”. In this reality, artistic processes are influenced by excessive access to computational tools and assistance, but not utterly controlled. 

On UltraBody, sound has no separate existence from space.

The mud thicker than blood.
The residue of being sewn into others. 
The free fall of happiness. 
The worst possible time of the best possible moment.

What happens when dubby drum & bass meets Dischord’s post-punk colossus Black Eyes? “Break” is the new EP from NY’s Relaxer, the long running alias of Daniel Martin-McCormick (Black Eyes, Ital and co-founder of Dripping), and it signals a decisive shift in his music. 

Prompted by friends to write a drum & bass live set just as Black Eyes was reuniting, the results didn’t quite fit the d&b genre. But it felt right. Quick, nimble, with room for the ferocity of his favorite post punk and some of the spaciousness of dub. Evergreen vibes, really, but seen from a fresh perspective.
 
Honed over a period of two years, the five tracks on “Break” fuse Relaxer’s careening, technoid sounds with free jazz-tinted drum programming, snarling sound design and spacious echo trails. It’s a perfect fit for 29 Speedway’s future-facing, exploratory anti-genre approach to electronics. The tape features two remixes by the singular DJ Marcelle and mastering by Dubplates & Mastering. Daniel tells his side of the story below:

“Two years ago my friends who run the drum ‘n’ bass party Headznite asked me to write a live set for a Ukraine fundraiser they were putting on. Right at the same time, my punk band Black Eyes was having our first practices in 20 years, which meant I was re-training my body to scream at top volume and high registers and to lay into my guitar at full force. In those same months, Dripping was forming and ideas were flying for crazy, boundary-pushing lineups. I had just finished writing the meditative composition suite “In Softening Air” and was feeling the call; it was time to let it rip. 

Everything poured into that live set for Headznite, and a new style was born. Relaxer had begun as a decisively techno project, but pushing the BPMs and working in drum breaks tweaked the formula enough to cut any lingering ties with that ethos. 

Over the next two years I kept on it, writing more, recording, pushing the technique and exploring the sound. “Break” is the first time any of this work has been made public. Sometimes a  detour can hack your brain. My first dance 12” as Ital was supposed to be a one-off side project to my punk band and it ended up taking over my life. Now punk music is calling asking for the debt to be repaid. Fuck it.”

‘Heal’ is a 6-track electroacoustic ambient record made in collaboration between visual artist Lucas Dupuy and Pavel Milyakov.

Including field recordings taken in Japan during our time there, the tracks are long, loopy and meditative.

The album is presented in the form of a very limited run of Hand finished CDs https://buttechno.bandcamp.com/album/heal

Solas Amháin is Irish for, just one light 🔆

It's about this person's ideas on fate and will and some drama added from moi...

Now, 5 years since upload it seems this video has 66 views. I just found it. This is the perfect example of setting aside pre conceived notions (mine a bias) and reviewing the human instead of what you've liked before. I'd say a good few people just skip him on appearance... Just a hunch... This guy has some seriously well learned world to share. Not sure I've ever heard anyone so skillfully connect global folklore like him to our actual human experience. With some large pinches of salt, he's worth a listen. I need to rewind him aaalot. But he makes some flucked up connections across his videos

Lyrics
Hmm, you offer new certainty
An intertwined fate laminated by will
A little unfree to this physical fiend
But I guess where there's silence....
It's soul rules for feed

So, we all have a hammer,
Just like Thor
Where Will is that thunderous power
Perpetual proof to all souls who then hear
Not the blinkered approach...
Not uncontrolled,
Not thrown through 'verse to 'verse in fear

So what if this will allows us to pick
One universe from all & here are fate will stick
In the macrocosm it all just is
Microcosmic control fate as varnish for his...

Ok, I gave you a pillar of salt,
A pinch and for now just your truth
I'll look to Ikigai for more reasonable youth
If then a hammer appears in my hand
I'll strike down all sith for all on this land
