To Shock the Sky and Shake the Earth

xin, ‘Sucker’ (2018). Courtesy Subtext Recordings, Berlin.

Tentacular Kinship is the first release of suspension, gathering the multiple efforts of 18 artists in total, spread between Lisbon, Berlin, and London, united by an invisible yet powerful force of collaborative kinship - the very glue of our sound and practice.
After two years of existence of mina, suspension comes as an anarchic-womb/platform that delivers a compilation of rich and prismatic musicality raging from dreamscape ambient, promiscuous variations of techno, bass breakbeats, funk and dirt, among other variations of experimental electronic music.

It will have its official release on the 23rd of March at the suspension residency at Galeria Zé dos Bois, in Lisbon, comprising live acts, DJ sets, workshops, film screenings, panels, and performances.

The compilation is free. Feel free to acquire, to use, to play, re-edit, mashup, loop, recycle and spread its tentacles. Nonetheless, keep in mind the importance to share your creative sources and artistic references. 
All the donations will revert to the production of our next release.

Instigate and cherish new alternatives, reimagine histories, build future sounds and form alliances. 
Tentacular Kinship is the suspension of disbelief and cynicism of a world set in a blaze.

suspension is an offshoot of mina (@minassuspension), operating as an artist platform and label curated and organised by BLEID (@bleiddd) and marum (@marumwelt).

xin "MELTS INTO LOVE" (SUB031)

Download: http://bit.ly/xin-melts-into-love

xin returns to Subtext to share their debut LP, MELTS INTO LOVE.

Mining fragments of neurofunk, hardcore and dubstep, xin searches for something else. They borrow from dance and rave lexicons to warp, mangle and strangle tropes into something anew. Embracing failures, blemishes, inexperience and misuse, xin imagines new affinities, anxieties and ecstasies in an age of noise, spectacle and inundation. Alien, shapeshifting reeses dance and twirl in “Myopia,” while AI choirs and pseudo-breaks are distilled into “Spent, Wasted and Saved” (featuring AYA, fka LOFT). The fiendish, ecstatic imagery that accompanies is created in conjunction with painter Gabrielle Bejani and machine learning engineers Ash D'Cruz, and Chris Tegho.

Like xin’s 2018 EP, MELTS INTO LOVE will be released solely via independent platforms Bandcamp, Boomkat and Resonate. The record also borrows from fellow Subtext signee Fis and his Saplings project and is released as a “biodigital” LP—meaning the music is released digitally, but with a living consequence woven in. All proceeds from sales will be donated to Eden Reforestation Projects, with each purchase of the LP funding the planting of at least 40 trees.

xin has recently performed live at Berlin’s Volksbühne, in support of Holly Herndon’s PROTO launch, and Kraftwerk, for MaerzMusik’s The Long Now, among others. They are soundtracking Zach Blas’ upcoming installation The Doors, and are a summer 2019 research resident at Trust, Berlin’s space for utopian conspiracy and the (re)design of infrastructure.
