Taken from SBKT049: Osheyack - Intimate Publics
Release date: 8th June 2022

Intimate Publics, Osheyack’s second album, is an homage to Shanghai, the city he has called home since 2012. Over the past ten years the producer has evolved from an avid club-goer to a key member of the vital soundscape that emerged from ALL Club and its predecessor, the now defunct club The Shelter. As hinted by the title, which draws on American social theorist Michael Warner’s work on publics and counterpublics, the album expresses a commitment to mining the utopian potential of club music, forging new worlds and generating future social relations, just as the artist bids farewell to the city at a moment of uncertain transition. While tracks like 'Edging' and 'Thrall' continue to present his signature collage of harder club music, the rest of the record reveals a shift to synthetic approximations of acoustic instruments. 'Still', the central track of the album, is a piece composed almost entirely of samples found on Vocaloid (a vocal synthesizer developed by Yamaha, commonly used to give voice to Japanese virtual idols). While echoing themes explored in previous projects, like the nature of realism and authenticity in a techno-mediated landscape, Intimate Publics is charged with an unexpected emotional candor and vulnerability, unveiling a personal side Osheyack is only beginning to explore.

Fresh heat outta Kyoto, a return to @svbkvlt finds @rilla-almadella delving further into the uneasy realms of rhythmic experimentation. 

Sporting remixes from Nahash, Tra Tra Trax’ Bitter Babe and Gorong Gorong’s Kadapat, ‘Yukou / 遊光’ leaves genre boundaries decimated in the pursuit of breakbeat and dembow abstraction. In the case of our premiere, a dancehall rhythm quickly descends into rattling, acid-tinged maelstrom. 

'Yukou / 遊光' is out October 26th on SVBKVLT.

"All the tunes I chose for this mix are hugely influential for me. I personally feel aggression, trance, death, dub influences, emotion and destruction from these tunes, which is what I want to express with my own productions." - Gorgonn

Pearls is Swimful’s second release on Shanghai’s SVBKVLT label. The EP collects four of the best tracks made by Swimful in the past year and sees the producer going deeper into his sound of nostalgic sino melodies and melancholic atmospheres that he established on 2016’s PM2.5.

Remixes come from Coyote Records’ Letta, who strips back the title track to a bare-bones devils mix that leaves only the heart of the track intact, and Shanghai’s Downstate, who twists “Lonely God” into a sprawling, symphonic journey that closes out the EP.
