Knell(personalbrand remix)

Another project file lost in the digital ocean. This one is a long-form, psychosomatic, pulsating journey into introspective, rolling rhythm. Heads down for this one.

A Thousand Unfocused Eyes

After a quiet period, ZEAN returns with his fourth solo EP, "No Roots" on Gully Riddim. These tracks were produced during the pandemic and are distinctly different from his earlier work. He uses a sombre atmosphere and fragmented, unpredictable rhythms, combined with various distorted and overloaded sound samples of both humans and animals, attempting to diversify his sound and break free from his own stereotypical and fixed creative approach. This is also a form of self-criticism against this culturally barren land. The EP includes five of ZEAN's tracks, along with two remixes, one by Argentinian producer Jaiiu and another by South African producer Jumping Back Slash. Both remixes reduce the experimental sounds of the originals, simplifying the song's rhythm and structural changes, and making them more friendly for the dance floor.

ZEAN在一段时间的沉寂后，在Gully Riddim带来他的第四张个人EP ”No Roots“。这些制作于疫情期间的声音明显的不同于他早期的作品，他用暗沉的氛围感与破碎的不固定节拍，结合各种添加了失真和过载效果的人与动物的声音采样，试着使其更加多样化，以此打破自身刻板和固定的创作思路，也是向这片文化贫瘠的土地表达自我的批判。此EP包含5首ZEAN的个人曲目以及两首Remix，分别来自阿根廷制作人Jaiiu，南非的Jumping Back Slash。两首Remix都减少了原曲的实验性声音，简化了歌曲的律动和结构变动，使其更加适合舞池。

3. Unknown Outcome Is Always Better

Taken from SBKT065: ABADIR & Nahash - Marchadair مرشدير
Release date: 25th September 2024

Over the past few years, Nahash and ABADIR have been sharing food recipes, the same sense of humour, and their love for 90's rave, Beth Gibbons, Sun Ra, and grilled lamb. They met last summer for the first time and enjoyed a B2B together during a label showcase in Fano, Italy. Their memories of and appreciation for 90’s and early 00’s Arabic pop music inspired their first collaboration on SVBKVLT. Marchadair is the distillation of the meaty club sound by both producers; ABADIR’s micro-edited audio sampling and surgical chopped percussions mixed with Nahash’s lavish dub techniques and hefty bass, all serving as the main ingredients for these 4 heavyweight tracks. To close the menu, the EP features remixes by Ehua and Toumba.

The track titles play on a symbolic link between both artists and their native languages, using French words that have morphed into Egyptian slang. This Franco-Egyptian mixture echoes the hybrid sound of the EP.
