being a big fan of The American Analog Set, I was happy to verify that your reinvention of the song maintained the essence of the original. Great piece of reengineering and a proof of good taste. Well done!

one of the best songs they ever recorded and your version of it is just fantastic! thanks for it.

This is perhaps my favorite remix of any song by any artist ever. I've loved it every since it came out on Updates years ago.

gone icon is a producer, singer, and "non-DJ" based in Brussels, Belgium who composes delicate pieces of whispered, processed vocals, struggling melodies, and somber, isolated percussive layers. His first track Nod, a remarkable effort of quiet and eerie ambiance, surfaced almost a year ago shortly followed by the three-tracker, self-released debut EP titled whispers r screams in which the artist showcases the main feature of the project: a wavering, ever-hesitant, at times muffled voice, uttering suffocating laments which resonate in fuzzy, squirming cyber-chambers where one could imagine the artist's creative and emotive drive would reside.

His work takes inspiration from a range of genres and stimuli that go to define his peculiar style, better described as 2020s state-of-the-art songwriting. gone icon adds to traditional vocal practices and reminiscences of classical music the post-Internet visual and conceptual identity, together with fine sound design and synthesis, and sharp, edgy frequency bursts recovered from the contemporary, deconstructed club scene. In this sense, the artist is sure as inspired by Arca, Eartheater, and Klein (reportedly so) as he is by Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart early works of devastating urgency and their ability to cause unmendable heart lacerations.

Today, we're honored to premiere his last single called babie, out in two day's time on April 16th. The composition, taking just over two minutes, opens to the sound of waves crashing on the shore, shortly followed by the vocals introducing the image of a face shrouded in darkness via heartfelt, intimate lyrics. The high-pitched, delicate singing is complemented by rare, dissonant sound components that go to define an unforgettable piece of minimalistic, ethereal, and emotional electronic music. Enjoy!

The American Analog Set - The Postman (Styrofoam's just like the nineties never happened mix)

Kurt Cobain is dood. New Beat werd opgevreten door techno. Overal zitten tieners met gevoelens en een radiocassetterecorder of in het beste geval een fourtrack. Zolderkamertjes vol weltschmerz, ironie en zelfrelativering zijn de broeikassen voor groezelige sfeertjes en ruisende schoonheid. Wat je zelf doet doe je beter. LoFi heet het, en het is een streven, een attitude. We zijn onafhankelijk en we doen ons ding. Support your local scene, heet het. En als er geen scene is om te supporten? Wel, dan maak je er één. Concertjes in kelders en vergeten theaterzaaltjes, soms in een café of in een jeugdhuis. Schone liedjes bedolven onder ruis en krakkemik. Embryonale wereldhits die het nooit worden. Ook België bleef niet gespaard.

Jürgen De Blonde van de portables maakte op vraag van de Koer een mixtape als ode aan de Belgische DIY hometape scene uit de jaren 90. De “Brugge - Gent - Antwerpen - Mechelen - Brussel - Louvain-la-Neuve” connectie.
