Marseille's Loïc Bodjollé started out making classic Chicago house as Donarra. As good as it was, he has really found his voice as @cardinalandnun. It's a project at the opposite end of the musical spectrum - a place where dreamy grooves and imagined utopias have been replaced by a much more biting reality. Deranged vocals, tortured guitars and punk synths drag you into a world of raw and visceral sound that has found a perfect home on L.I.E.S.  Back in March, Ron Morelli's label put out Bodjollé's Dancing In Evil album, a gothic collection of EDM, industrial and electro from the dark side. 

This week's no holds barred mix takes you right back to the same place in an instant. Clunking factory automation, caustic drones and heavily distorted drum machines lend the mix a sense of architecture that traps you at the centre while repeatedly collapsing around you. What starts as a collage of short, wrecked textures and busted loops eventually turn into a more elongated techno sound. It is blistered, banging and brilliantly suited to the grottiest rave warehouse you could ever imagine.

Krake Festival introduces: Leibniz

How to describe the artist @leibniz ? He is like all these tabs you have open in your browser for months, the ones which you sometimes forget about, but then open arbitrarily one day to find some pretty nice surprises inside. 

Like Moritz Paul’s debut release on Fourth Wave, in 2013 whose wonky house grooves greet you like the Facebook profile of an old friend you wanted to write a while ago because you felt like you two should totally catch up. Or his subsequent records for labels like Uncanny Valley’s Shtum and Rat Life series or Ortloff from Leipzig, where he used to live before relocating to Berlin. They were all a bit rougher, more technoid even, but all very much influenced by what you can read about in that comprehensive history of the hardcore continuum that you’d stumbled upon a while back when you had that »phase« in which you said »massive« way too often. 

Eventually, you will open this one YouTube tutorial for something Ableton-related and recognise the voice talking about drum beats - you’ve totally heard that one before. Perhaps on Leibniz’s »Online« EP, the first release on Hundert, the label he co-founded in 2017 with his partners in crime from DJ bwin and DJ OK. They draw from exactly the kind of theoretical ramblings about the internet, modernlife and interpersonal communication in this age that you usually click around 4am, but then can’t get yourself to read because life’s too complex as it is already, isn’t it? Meanwhile, Leibniz himself is sampling all those bits and pieces, these alien human voices and sound artefacts from around the web to draw connections between people and things. He’s a bit like that kooky guy who sends you links to extensive political commentary, always shortly after six in the morning for some reason. You appreciate that, though, because who else is so consistent like that these days? 

But finally, there’s Leibniz’s Soundcloud profile in which you can get lost more easily than if it were a constant stream of tumblr memes. There’s his more belting live sets, there’s his slew of remixes for other artists, his many B2B sets with friends and family or some teasers for the Fier nights he puts on with the Hundert and PH17 crews. It’s as if you’d incidentally beatmatched three different tracks that started automatically after you accidentally clicked them - it all comes together here, it all suddenly makes sense. And you know what - you could just leave those running and close all other tabs, get on with your life and maybe, finally, take that shower.

Privacy by name, privacy by nature: this artist has no need to reveal anything about themselves because their music is more than enough to keep your mind and feet occupied.

We might not know much about Privacy, then, but we know that they never fail to entertain in subtly different and enjoyably deceiving ways. 
And really, what else matters? 🔥🔥🔥

Sounds From NoWhere Podcast #150 - Privacy ·

Galaxian 

The penultimate mix of this month's crazy roster is hosted by none other than military antagonist Galaxian; he comfortably occupies a space outside of the easily definable genres of today.  A sound as equally varied as it is evocative, often hard to classify and pigeonhole but never less than absorbing. He’s never an artist to become stagnant or be confined within obvious conventions.  Dousing the listener in dramatic, organic textures before sweeping them into a pulsating blaze of machine-gun percussion.  A maelstrom of intricate drum programming and soaring melodies erupt from a wave of psychedelic ambience.    
His discography includes releases on Return To Disorder, Ilian Tape, DMX Krew's Breakin’ Records, Natural Sciences, Shipwrec (both his iconic “Uprising” and “NU-1000” together with DJ Stingray)plus inclusions in his close ally Helena Hauff’s infamous Kern Vol. 5 [Tresor] with “Private Tyranny” and "Viral Shredding" on mumdance' highly regarded Shared Meanings, are distinctive and remarkably vital and have further cemented his reputation for an unorthodox, idiosyncratic methodology.

A provocative subversive aesthetic steeped in philosophical and anarchistic attitude further submerge the listener in Galaxian’s visions and ethos.  Appearing in trademark helmet and mask evoking imagery of militant resistance, revolt and liberation, as if in preparation for the rapid approaching disintegration of civilisation.  

His searing live performances command attention, making appearances next to legends like Anthony Rother, The Exaltics, Aux 88, I-F, Thomas P. Heckmann (and of course Helena Hauff and DJ Stingray), his dark drum programming and synth eruptions soundtrack cyber-attacks that are utterly visceral and unorthodox, so much so, that an hour in his presence will leave you feeling exhausted he packs so much in. 

  While you are catching your breath from our 155th episode, you might want to tent to his newest release “Like Sunlit Threads” for his most recent project Kas; alternating interstellar ambient & raging electro forming an intriguing combination of dystopian yet mysteriously pleasant impressions, adding to that having an oil painting by Bettina Zenker that can go straight on the most pristine spot in your house and a track name as “Holographic Matrix Of Informational Totality”, like where can you go wrong? (!), again on the always impeccable Ilian Tape.

Let his music do the talking.

DUSK DJ MIX OCT 21

DUSK155 By Galaxian

Here is the ninth chapter of our podcast series, a new story told by @dj-heartbreak-berlin, committed record digger and music journalist based in Berlin.

For this episode, he wanted to refer to the classic tape format, therefore he imagined a two-sided mix. This meticulous blend of selected findings and oddities, features both the gloomy vibes and the hypnotic grooves that define Futurepast for him.

The first part takes you from the chilly shores of white noise and dramatic strings to the more electric and rhythmic lands of IDM and electronica. The second part is a progressive buildup of dub atmospheres and experimental beats, all finely sewed together to transport you in an alternative time.

She received her master’s degree from Columbia Journalism School in 2020 and is a fellow with the Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting.

Chloe on the mix:
"I’ve been leaning hard into non-4/4 rhythms over the last year or so, and this mix is really a showcase of the kind of music that’s been really inspiring to me (electro, breaks, DnB, jungle. etc.) I’m especially into artists who are able to meld these genres with dark industrial and EBM tropes, which is definitely the direction I see my music moving in!"
