‘alma blindada’ is an album about human violence as a force of nature. of the geographic and cultural entropy caused by people and their lives and their toil and their pursuit of money and power and joy.

we came to this via heavily following border war and cartel violence news/corrido lore, the power vacuums, the cannibalization of heroes and villains and how who’s who morphs depending on what side you’re rooting for or what area you’re from. we knew we wanted full unironic corridos, we knew we wanted songs and not just world building exercises.

alma blindada means like armored soul, or bulletproof spirit, and for us this is a phrase of reverence of the vast spectrum of potentiality within each person, to enrich or destroy, to tear down or build up. but ‘blindado’ is also maña slang for a ‘protected’ person. so it fit in with the feeling we were trying to convey. of finding the brutal poignancy of the beheading video or the in jokes in the foot soldiers’ wartime loyalty twitter rant. of remaining friends and riders after passing thru the ringer of war, spiritual or physical. the war of the every day, the high stakes of living and working and making your life on the 3.7 million mile wide sacrificial altar they call america.

alma blindada is out on halcyon veil on july 26, 2024

DJ Deep Heat - Age of Aquarius (ESP Remix) [MK PREMIERE]

@mosskissing
from forthcoming album: Moss Kissing - between summer & now (a fragmented diary of depression)

"This record is made up of a collection of songs made over the past two years. To me, it felt disjointed and I struggled to understand the theme of the record until I began making a short film of the same name. Normally, when making an album, I take a period of time to set intentions and/or practice methods. But this record is a collection of music from various sessions, the link between them being ambient in nature. This film became a way of creating a narrative through image and text, subtitles and prose. I see the text as an expanded writing practice. I found, through the editing and writing, that the main theme of the film and record was time."

SPA presents I DARE YOU II – a continuous blend of textures, chords and soundscapes by Xzavier Stone. Inspired by and following its predecessor I DARE YOU (self-released in 2022), IDY II consists of 18 individual short compositions, fused together into one unyielding soundscape. The 26-minute piece perfectly captures the gloss and sentiment of Stone’s musical world, while showcasing his versatility as a composer. Xzavier Stone has become recognizable by his subtle and deft spins on rap and RnB music and his penchant for playfulness and experimentation. The sonic palette of IDY II ranges from traditional instruments and shimmering textures to soulful sketches and fragmented piano chops, stretched into something that flawlessly integrates into the world of SPA. While the music of IDY I was combined with a room spray, IDY II now comes with incense sticks. The burn time per stick lasts approximately as long as the music plays, thus serving as a timekeeping device. The incense sticks are handmade in collaboration with In'n'out Fragrances and packaged in a gracefully crafted handmade box. Their fragrance consists of galbanum, frankincense, hinoki, coniferous needle woods, white birch tar, honey comb and muscenone. These scents will put you in a gentle trance as you listen to Stone’s classically infected ambient compositions, mutating sound objects and playful harmonic spheres, softly evoking the aromas of RnB and Jazz.

Written, Produced & Mixed by @xzavier_stone 
Additional Instrumentation by Mattia Facchini, Yukari Aotani & Tobias Pfister

Prolific NY-based producer Jetty makes his All Centre debut on ACEN062. Jetty’s tracks from his excellent series of self-released EPs will be familiar to those who have attended AC parties over the years, and on Feet Don’t Fail Me Now he delivers three more singularly infective, hard-hitting club cuts.

The Bag Remix opens in his signature style with an earworm vocal hook and nimble percussion, before bringing in a bone-quaking bass over a thumping kick pattern. The vocal cut re-emerges before the bassline pummels with renewed vigor, and Jetty pulls all the elements together in a flying final third.

Lost in Regionals is the most introspective of the three cuts, with wistful melodic lines and deep, emotive vocal chops. The track brings a dancefloor punch too, with a tough syncopated beat punctuated by rolling ama basslines and deft inflections of Jersey club samples.

On Sunny’s, a sub-zero oscillating bassline underpins a heavy club excursion. The track brims with rhythmic intensity, bass hits pinging between beats and frantic vocals scrambling over the drum tracks. A bracing half-speed switch-up.brings the track to another level, rolling to the finish with low-frequency weightiness.

Feet Don’t Fail Me Now is available across all digital platforms from August 16th.
