A live show for No Way Back: Streaming From Beyond 2021 from Outer Space Room residents Organic Dial, a duo of John Elliott and Drew Veres, true midwest freaks hailing from Cleveland. In their own words: “We wanted to make a set for No Way Back that had an infinite feeling, with sounds sort of running into one another like soft waves on a lake. Many of the tracks here were made to go on indefinitely, like loops but with some sparser hand played adornments. We stitched the set together carefully to play like a mixtape, something that could repeat over and over and never get tired sounding. Organic Dial tracks are made by spending a lot of time listening to things loop until we find a combination of shape and melody that makes sense. Many of these pieces have been in the incubator for some time and will likely take on a different form at some point. As we had to do a live stream for No Way Back this year we were hoping we could project the same feeling of being alone in a dark corner at Tangent Gallery, being bathed by the sparse lights peering through holes in a hanging parachute late into the night. Sound everywhere, eyes shut, mind wide open.”

an organic and dubby path driven by high energy rhythms.

"I draw on a wide range of stylistic influences from Radiohead to Monolake. It led me to produce my own ambient and techno sounds based on atmospheres and rhythms. 

After 6 years experimenting sound design I finally released my first EP in 2017 on Lowless called Water Memories. I also launched Solid Shape Records with music releases from MTRL, Dycide or IUNA NIVA."

As Seunghee @seungheeworks prepares to make a move back to Europe and Seoul after a stint based in Brooklyn, we feel lucky to have connected with her range of creative output. She has hosted events under the banner of Yulheim Electronics alongside DJ Snail at intimate, audiophile venues like Jupiter Disco and Mansions, showcasing artists with a taste for dance music that builds layered, dreamy soundscapes, a descriptor that could also apply to her own DJing. With a patient, colorful, emotional approach and a penchant for abstracted kicks and polyrhythms, Seunghee's sound somehow feels as evocative of an urban landscape as a forest ecosystem, organic and full of life, even when that life may be struggling.

"Every time I make a mix, I just put in all the tracks I really like and play them by the BPM, and sort out the ones that mix well. After finishing the mix, I hear it and realize what thoughts and intentions were being made.

This time, it sounded like I was trying to build a conviction. There’s a virtual character and she is trying to say something without losing her tone or deviating from her angle. There are a lot of forces trying to convince her out of her own narrative but somehow she maintains it. At least it shows the struggle.

I am currently making a lot of difficult and big choices in life. These choices will determine my survival. It helps to remember where I come from and which direction I am going. It’s not just about my own wants. I think everyone has a name, background, and roots that connect them to their own destiny. I feel I am in a stage of life where I understand myself better. (I am in my thirties) and the mix is about moving forward without compromising. Hopefully it relates to others who are going through changes.

I used a pair of CDJs and Xone92 mixer with a pair of KRKs & Audio-Technica headphones."

OUBAITORI #2

Remi Ohsugi has emerged as one of the most noteworthy figures among the new generation of techno/ambient artists in recent years.
As a DJ, she skillfully blends psychedelic sound qualities with tropical, sensual techno in a delicate rhythm. Moreover, she possesses a unique elegance and a clearly discernible maturity in her music, which sets her apart. Her talent is such that it breaks through the ranks of breakthrough artists.

Remi Ohsugiはここ数年、新世代のテクノ／アンビエント・アーティストの中で、非常に注視すべき人物の一人である。
DJとして、サイケデリックな音質とトロピカルで官能的なテクノを繊細なリズムでミックスする。さらに彼女は、非常に独特なエレガンスとはっきりと聴き取れる成熟度を備えており、それが彼女を際立たせている。
ブレイクスルーアーティストを打ち破る才能の持ち主である。

2023年12月にテクノレーベルKAGRAを始動。

SPONTANEOUS AFFINITY is about the communal nature of the dancefloor. It's about communication and feedback. Spontaneous Affinity isn't for the isolated bedroom producer, although we love them, too—it is for those of us who understand music and dance as one of the most powerful sources of personal growth and interpersonal empathy, who are driven by the need to support and elevate one another, and as a result experience the evolution of our creative and connective selves.

Spontaneous Affinity isn't about ego, knowledge, paraphernalia, or exclusivity of any kind. It's about PURE SENSATION. It's about losing track of yourself and merging with a moment. It's about temporary autonomous zones and ephemeral connections. It's about forgetting to Shazam that track or fix your hair. It's about the hours far past dawn when everyone left on the dancefloor has laid their soul bare but still looks beautiful under the harshness of sunlight.

Spontaneous Affinity is NOT A UTOPIAN VISION. It's about understanding how to let go. How to let go of a person. How to let go of a place. How to break a routine even if it hurts. How to appreciate a feeling that can't last forever as if it were eternal, and how to appreciate challenging moments—and challenging sounds—as catalysts for growth.
