Hanging In The Stars, Pt. 1

Hanging in The Stars

Messina

Datashader emerges from the shadows with a striking breaks- and bass-heavy debut release that challenges the fabric of our digital existence. Replete with a Dopplereffekt remix, it nods to the legacy of revered anonymous acts such as Scopex, Drexciya and Underground Resistance, pushing the boundaries of both electronic music exploration and its conceptual underpinnings. As a critique of the erosion of genuine human connection in the digital age, Datashader delivers a barrage of billowing subs, infectious electro, recontextualized jungle, and techno, serving as a poignant counterbalance to current dance floor-centric norms. It's a contemporary anti-soundtrack that offers a haunting mirror to the societal costs of technological convenience. 

In a world engulfed by the digital realm, where social media platforms thrive and dominate every aspect of our lives, the enigmatic project known as Datashader was founded to reflect on the pervasive erosion of authentic human connection through various virtual realities.

Artistically, Datashader seeks to critique the impact of technology on human identity and relationships, breaking with an archetype of digital conformity and expressing a profound disillusionment with the superficiality of online interactions through music. Genuine human connection and art cannot be quantified by likes, comments, or followers but rather thrives in the visceral realm of shared sonic experience and human emotion. This idea is at the core idea of Datashader, whose artistic expression ranges from avant-garde composition and electronic experimentations to art, installation, film and more.

Expressed within the varied contexts of diverse artistic mediums, Datashader explores the concept of "technological gentrification", which describes the gradual displacement of human interaction by technology. Just as gentrification alters the urban landscape, driving out communities and cultures, digital gentrification transforms the social landscape, replacing genuine connection with curated online personas. 

Musically, Datashader's practice confronts this dystopian reality, highlighting the alarming consequence of people becoming mere nodes in a network, reduced to a collection of data points. This is manifested sonically by a blistering assault of breaks, recontextualized IDM, abstract electronics and otherworldly synthscapes, conceived as the aesthetic counterbalance to much of contemporary electronic music's dancefloor focus. 

Datashader dives deep into genres and influences which stand for a form of sonic resistance: A contemporary anti- soundtrack &ndash; a sonic mirror of the price we pay for convenience and instant gratification. A self-image in constant flux. No false technological idols.

REDIVIDER pres. Kareem El Morr

The 096th of weekly Mix show of Suburban Avenue
This show with guest: ENFANT TERRIBLE [@enfantterriblenl]

Enfant Terrible is a Dutch independent record label for music and was founded in 2004. The focus is on electronic / experimental (pop) music in styles such as elektro-wave, (post-)techno and ambient. Sublabels are Gooiland Elektro and Vrystaete.

Enfant Terrible was one of the first to start to give recognition and attention to the pioneers of minimal electronics / proto-elektro / avant-garde pop / experimental electronic pop music from the early 1980’s. Next to that it is one of the few labels in this field of music that truly invests in the development of new talents in this music tradition. Many releases are considered cult classics today…

Labelboss M. organises and dj's since 1999... starting out as a new wave dj and playing a lot of EBM, elektro-wave and new beat ever since. More recently teaming up with Alacidus and dj'ing back 2 back as "Enfant Terrible"... they play acid, (early/dark) techno and combine this with elektro, wave, EBM, new beat, synth stuff and also industrial depending on the party, setting, context... we like to play hard and rough and dirty and we play always vinyl only sets…

Together they played asEnfant Terrible at different places from small parties to larger crowds... from art galleries to street raves... dj’ing everywhere with a focus on the more unfamiliar / obscure tracks and a mix of classics to find the right combination for the dance floor… and always crossing styles and decades…
