"Clearing their cache of stray bullets, Exael returns with a gyring plunge into percussive wormholes and low-lit mood enhancers .The tracks are broadly cleft along schisms of dark/light and demonic/angelic, switching from restive propellers to more sublime sensations in a fine testament to their practice - making for prob our favourite Exael release thus far.

On the “darker” side, they commit the convulsive, fractious footwork pulses and warped tones of ‘Circle (Squishy Mix)’ in a sort of parallel to 33EMYBW’s insectoid rhythms and combustion systems, while ‘Ice That melts The Tips’ trades in rapid, ice-skating thizz and ‘Ghoul Search (Demonic Attachment Mix)’ fires up the junglist particle accelerator for a proper gauntlet of hyper techstep dynamics.

The contrast is epitomised by ’Composure’, arranging flinty breaks on a luscious waterbed of floating pads, before ‘Eidolon’ renders a sort of airborne dembow pressure in the vicinity of Ben Bondy & special guest dj’s xphresh works.  ‘L-theanine’ closes the session on a fine tread inside emo ambient styles and flurries on the same spectrum between DJ Lostboi and Teresa Winter, complete with a reverberating, half-buried vocal. 

All smoke & strobe doozies."

Fairy-esque synths, digital strings and spectral atmospherics combine to lure you into tuna's “Object Permanence”, out via NYC's Altamira Records on June 14th, 2024. In the release, tuna, real name Julian Schäfer, evokes fractals that combine his glossy audio productions with the lushness of the boreal world.

Represented through a mixture of auditory synthesis and fantastical themes, “Object Permanence” ponders, and then objects to, the idea of immutability. The natural world serves as a metaphor for the concept. An appropriated painting of a shoreline on the EP's cover may seem like a representative moment of nature's beauty and order, but through evaporation, tides, human intervention, and the life and death of millions of organisms that live within, a seemingly static frame is actually representative of a continually changing environment.

The closing song, “Melt Like Water,” encapsulates this theme with a quote by a tribal community elder from Vanuatu in Werner Herzog’s 2016 documentary, "Into the Inferno." “Everything will melt, the stones, the trees, everything, like water.” In our crumbling world, how can one expect any permanence?

𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗮 𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗱𝗮, nudo’s debut full-length coming out via halcyon veil on july 26th, 2024 is the culmination of years of sonic field work. “alma blindada means armored soul, or bulletproof spirit,” highlights hernandez, “but ‘blindado’ is also narco slang for a protected person.” their album, the most refined iteration to their sound yet, explores the spectrum of potentiality within a person. creation vs destruction; innocence vs guilt; conflicting sides to a story. 

just like two competing radio signals merging at the border of eagle pass, tx, 𝗻𝘂𝗱𝗼’s music is full of entropies. nudo (translating to “knot” in spanish) is a regional-electronic duo that boldly introduces the complexities of border war, cartel violence and corrido lore; the power vacuums, cannibalization of heroes and villains, and the duality that comes with what side you're rooting for or what area you're from. through antagonistic genres, subcultural samples and constant distortion, the pair pushes you into uncharted territory. but for nudo, who grew up in between chicano homes in rural texas and urban neighborhoods in juarez, this process is a natural byproduct of survival. the pair, formed by eric hernandez and joaquin tenorio, met when starting an industrial band while residing in austin, shortly before succumbing to their apodictic synergy creating as a duo.

Yasmine Des Astres - La Forêt Des Amates 
Cat. Nr: DN029
Format: Digital
Release Date: October 11, 2024
Buy / stream: dansenoire.ffm.to/YasmineDesAstres 

La Forêt des Amantes was born in a daydream. “At night, under the shining moon of silver, I ran in a forest with the one I love,” describes experimental artist Yasmine des Astres. Arriving at music by necessity, rather than by intention, Yasmine des Astres arranges her voice, live instrumentation and synthesis into cinematic assemblage, drawing as much from filmmaker Philippe Grandrieux, philosopher Georges Bataille and Sufi mystics like Ibn Arabi, Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi and Mansour al-Hallaj, as she does any particular sound. 

Despite this, the artist remains fiercely opposed to overly academic approaches to her art. Entirely self-taught, her DIY practice emerges as the consolidation of years of personal discovery. Dropping out of school at 15, suffering severe social anxiety, the artist took solace in her mother’s rap cassettes, instilling in her a love for hip hop instrumentals. Before long she was digging for samples online to make her own beats. At the age of 16 she discovered the transcendent Gnosticism of Sun Ra, which shifted her entire worldview forever. However it was the artist’s love of cinema, in particular the films of Robert Bresson, that truly taught her what it means to be an artist. Bresson’s legendary text ‘Notes On The Cinematograph’ helped Yasmine des Astres construct a vision of art with which she could connect her sensations to her emotions. 

Specifically, the image of running through a forest at night kept returning to her, a vision she initially understood as a need for freedom, but which gradually developed into a deeper, more intense understanding. Chasing “desire as a liberating and enlightening force,” her dream of liberation became one of sexual exploration and self destruction, while La Forêt des Amantes grew into The Forest of Lesbian Lovers. “It is a dream made out of my lesbian devotion,” the artist asserts. “A desire to annihilate myself through the lesbian I would love.” Citing kindred spirit Obsequeen and Japanese experimental noise rock oddities Les Rallizes Dénudés as sonic influences, with La Forêt des Amantes Yasmine des Astres picks her way through an expansive sonic terrain of effects-laden vocals and off-kilter electronics. 
 “The album is about yearning,” she explains. “The forest doesn’t exist, it is not a forest we know. It is an absence. An absence of civilization, an absence of politics, just two lesbians and the universe around them.”
