DECONSTRUCT

Failed Units kick off their new 'Fusion Tank' series with Montreal's DJ Pacifier and New Yorker Folded Voices, allowing the artists to explore the idea of collaboration in which ever way they see fit.

DJ Pacifier's 'Prograsm' travels through the unhinged glitched out techno sound that the Canadian has become sought after for in recent times. Their ventures into the the depths of hard dance has seen them feature recently on the Boiler Room mix series as well as taking on a tour of Europe and the UK.

The EP arrives in full on December 14th.

PREMIERE: DJ Pacifier - Prograsm (Failed Units)

LA native and Mexico City based producer, sound artist, and DJ, Hannah Lee shares the first single from their forthcoming EP 'Transiciones' on Pronoia Souvenirs with 'B B B'.

A sonic ambient transmission through sounds from synth oscillators, Tibetan quartz bowls, and an electric organ, carry the track through a voyage of ever-evolving sounds that progress the initial sounds into glitched versions of their former selves.

The full EP lands on March 10th. Follow Hannah on Bandcamp for regular updates: https://pronoiasouvenirs.bandcamp.com/

Transiciones

PREMIERE: Hannah Lee - B B B

“Seven tracks of primitive-futuristic percussive imbued with grotesque noise and whirling voices debut from BHKT.”

"Retaww" refers to BHKT's hunting and gathering era. An album that propels us into a vast land of chaos, brutality, ecstatic and blunt. It's obvious how BHKT pushes the boundaries of structure in his music, challenging the listener to think freely.

PREMIERE: BHKT - Orle (Ear Flux Records)

In Japanese Buddhism, it's believed that when someone dies they are ushered down one of six paths depending on the karma accumulated during their previous lives. A being might end up in the world of humans, animals, demigods, or celestials, but it's also possible to end up reborn as a pitiable hungry ghost, doomed to an existence of insatiable desire, or even worse - be sent to hell, or jigoku. Ruled over by the Japanese lord of death Emma-ō, this hell isn't quite like the Christian hell, it's closer to purgatory, and cleansing the karma can take hundreds of millions of years of excruciating torture in extreme cold or immense fire. Japanese bass alchemist Gorgonn takes these themes as the basis of his debut album "Six Paths", assembling a spiritually weighty set of futurist dubs that consider the possibility that our mortal domain might be closer to hell than we realize.

Gorgonn describes himself as a Japalien exile. He left the country of his birth almost two decades ago, and since then has been working tirelessly to formulate Jamaican dub, noise, techno, and no-wave into a sound he calls "sci-fi steppas". If you've not come across his name before, there's a good chance you've heard his reverberations. An established sound tech who's worked with The Bug, Hype Williams, Seefeel and others, he's part of G36 with Kevin Martin, Dokkebi Q with Kiki Hitomi, and a former member of Devilman with DJ Scotch Egg and Bo Ningen's Taigen Kawabe. Just last year he released the acclaimed "Disentegration Dubs" full-length alongside JK Flesh, the veteran producer who's best known for masterminding Godflesh. All this experience blesses Gorgonn's productions with remarkable sonic force, and "Six Paths" is his most crushing display yet, smelting cannonball bass and osmium beats into sharp-edged soundsystem weapons.

Look no further than opener 'Abyss' for evidence of this: psychedelic synths draw the mind away from the mortal realm, while tangled, distorted beats push us back down to earth, our faces crushed into the grit and gravel. Using tweaked sub bass and unsettling drones, Gorgonn lays out a cinematic backdrop for the album, drawing us into a world that's terrifying, viscous, and nauseatingly familiar. There's a militaristic roll to 'Without Beginning and End', a track that juxtaposes spacey halfstep thrusts with death metal distortion, footwork polyrhythms, and unearthly pads that addresses the crushing endlessness of jigoku. On 'Invisible' meanwhile, Gorgonn torches the skeletal remains of D&B, abstracting familiar rhythmic patterns into fuzzy, ritualistic cycles that sound both ancient and humming with prospective technology. But on the closing track 'Life as a Beast', it sounds as if Gorgonn has come to a conclusion, and in a flurry of acid squelches and doomy foghorn bass blasts, he seems to have accepted that being reincarnated as an animal might be the best anyone can hope for. Who knows, you might end up as a cat.

˚₊‧꒰ა “This Is How We Break Your Toxic Positivity” ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

Second compilation of a “This Is How We Break…” series focused on breaks and bass music to enlighten our emerging electronic scene from France and abroad.

Based on the free interpretation of the ‘breakbeat’ genre, the breadcrumb trail of this second compilation is the theme “from happy to dark” (or the other way) to celebrate the fluctuation of emotions whether positive or negative. Over-cultivated positivism implies the rejection and the covering up of negative emotions… This compilation is here to reminds you to live fully your emotions and only think about what’s best for you. It’s OK not to always look on the bright side of things. Be gentle to yourself.
