The weekend of rain softened the earth

Split #1 marks the debut of a new vinyl series, to be hosted on the Various Artists catalogue of Pi Electronics. The split series will be bringing two artists on the same vinyl, with this very first release presenting music by Greek producers Fragedis and Nemmett.

Coming from different backgrounds of electronic music, prolific figure of the Cretan islands’ dance scene, Fragedis and one of the Athenean founding members of the ᾽π᾽ crew, Nemmett, contribute their sharpest weapons to this release.

On the A side, Fragedis delivers a techno/breaks cut of dystopian melodies and vocal samples with his opening track “Flantza”. His second track, “Klirish” blends industrial leaning percussion with Detroit techno flavored synths.

On the flip side, Nemmett returns with his trademark industrial / breaks sound, in a hypnotic, rap vocal atmosphere with the track “Altars”. His broken beat influences go more noise with his second track “Teeth”, which concludes the B side of the vinyl.

Exclusive: The “excerpt” version of “Teeth” is available only on the Pi Electronics Bandcamp page.

Interdimensional Warlock - "Your" Planet?

Uniformity is synonymous with emptiness,
and the world, despite the absence of its origin,
is born when the first difference arises.

We can always separate the world in a binary way, by extreme categories, and thus create the origin of language, make it conceivable and, in a general way, give rise to the existence of something.

Moreover, we can separate myriads of things in the world of humans, separate in a binary way,
by radical categories,
in order to fathom the full extent of its nature;

in order to understand how its nature extends from one end to the other;

in order to feel the real movement thanks to the tear rip that hides behind these two directions;

in order to make our way through the world which is completely overwhelmed by ignorance.

Nevertheless, if two extreme categories are equally powerful, we witness stagnation, fixity, and absolute immobility of balance and equilibrium, and it brings the feeling that is so familiar to us: we are petrified before a dilemma.

We continue with our new entry in Annuna Music's 017BX catalogue, we welcome Locati, this guy from Málaga has released music with labels like Metrodanceclub, Metrica or Eklektisch and now he comes to our house with a great 2 track EP.

On this EP, the Spanish artist shows the good taste he has harvested so far, breakbeat, sublime melodies and amazing basslines.

All the tracks on this EP start with breakbeat rhythms and aggressive melodies, opening up to a structure with a special sense. Warm, mystical rhythms fill the proceedings. Dreamy tones and hypnotic synth riffs that sound wonderful, locking into your mind as the pads and bass come in and out effortlessly.
Developed with a southern charm that makes it one of a kind.

MHUK PREMIERE: Locati - Shady Club

Dark Jazz Improv

@alexeyvolkovofficial questions what side is above through unchained painful rhythms and modernly packed 80’s industrial ethics with “Monotonic Impermanence”.

Masterly managing to fuse flesh-cutting percussion through meticulous soundscapes and robust chainsaw basslines. Up is down and down is up in these severe compositions where you can count on nothing but relentlessness. Authentically finished by two heavyweights by the name of Simon Crab / @crab (Bourbonese Qualk) and Slow White Fall / @oliverho13.

released December 12th, 2022

A sublime meditation on mortality and memory, ghosts and grief, Angels of Death casts a series of spells against forgetting and finality, in the form of mystic-minimalist country-soul torch songs about writing, time travel, and spectral visitations. Castle wrote and recorded this breathtaking follow-up to the acclaimed Pink City (2014) in a 19th century church near the shores of Lake Erie, where her family also lived and experienced a constellation of losses that inhabit these bruised musings.

“Castle reaches a pitch of mystical transport so gorgeously ethereal she seems about to drift off into lands that don’t appear on any map.” – Greil Marcus, The Believer

“Castle’s music is not so much of the earth as floating above it, untethered to the natural order of time and space. Her songs live in that gray area where observation mutates into rumination, and where the physical world dissolves into psychic terrain.” – Pitchfork

“Ravishing, soulful … stands comparison with the best of Judee Sill and Joanna Newsom.” – Uncut

The acclaimed Canadians return with an ambitious, allusive third album that achieves a new sonic clarity, depth, and range to match the effortless melodies and extraordinary writing. It’s the band's most transparent and personal set of songs to date, in which singer Nigel Chapman interrogates social, psychological, and spiritual milieus for clues about the elusive nature of knowledge.

"Brimming with passion & protest. Immediately familiar, yet bracingly distinct… one the most intriguingly idiosyncratic lyricists this side of Dan Bejar." – Pitchfork

"One of the best rock bands in business today." – The FADER

One of the most fascinating songwriters we have today. – Newsweek

"Purveyors of beatific, sun-drenched roadtrip tunes. Nigel Chapman is owner of one of the most beautiful voices I’ve heard in years." – NME

"Unvarnished diarizing in lean, art-pop songs." – Uncut

"Concise, understated alt-rock with cryptic, literate lyrics for Go-Betweens/Bill Callahan fans." – MOJO

Saahiwa is the pseudonym of Sophie Zahmurely. Focused on creating an engulfing atmosphere and creepy mood, the Georgian artist present a track filled with obscure sound layers, distant voices and field recordings, dark drones and ritualistic beats, with generous space to some melancholic melodies which fit perfectly the haunted and gloomy mood of the track. Its contribution to this VA is its first active release with this project. https://modernbon.bandcamp.com/album/modern-b-n-v-a-i-puraka
