Shapeshifter

New album of Swiss DJ and producer NVST, Filled With Oil is a deep minded project made of breakbeat, dub influenced industrial, acid and intelligent techno.

Filled With Oil is the third album of Swiss DJ and producer NVST. In between sets at the most prestigious clubbing festivals and the trendiest clubs of the moment around the world, she found time to record this impressive six-piece album that goes from abstract to breaks, passing by industrial dub and unconventional techno.

Produced as a manifesto for a different dancefloor, the music passes by many different moods made of deep textured sounds, glitchy samples, hectic drum machines and etheric political vocals. Just like on her DJ sets, it's always more than just partying. But don't be fooled, this project it's not only for open-minded dancefloors, it's a killer album for some sweaty basements.

NVST's growing reputation is built on sharp, powerful, and deeply committed sets. Taking her audience by surprise, she doesn't hesitate to put the public in uncomfortable situations to lead them into a trance, and this is exactly what you get here.

SAL proudly presents our 2024 Lunar New Year Compilation, featuring a stellar lineup of artists including Kim Ann Foxman, Cora, Why Be, Soda Plains, River Moon, Ennio, and label founder Lawrence Lee. 🧧🐉🌟

The overarching theme that unites this compilation is the sense of nostalgia surrounding familial and ancestral connections 🪷🏞️. This theme holds a special resonance for many of us—some of whom experience it firsthand through their roots and homelands, while others grasp and feel it through the stories passed down to them. We’ve kept this theme open, allowing each artist the freedom to interpret and incorporate it into their music.

At the heart of SAL is our vibrant and supportive community, and this compilation serves to cultivate and share that sense of togetherness 🤲. We’ve brought together artists from diverse backgrounds across East and Southeast Asia, not only calling on close friends and collaborators but also forging new connections with talented individuals.

Ata Ebtekar, better known as Sote, is an electronic music composer and sound artist based in Tehran, Iran. His wide-ranging love of rich sounds and textures is embodied in diverse paths such as hardcore club sounds, collaborations that straddle (traditional) acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and solo experimental electronics – making Ebtekar equally at home in concert halls, galleries, or clubs. Over the last three decades, he has released on labels such as Warp, Sub Rosa, Morphine, Diagonal, and Opal Tapes.

‘Ministry of Tall Tales’ is an electronic music composition that reflects on hyperbolic orchestrations of political and social current affairs.

In this work, notions such as misinformation/disinformation, biased mental states, bigotry, dogma and ultimately corruption are brainchild of the composer in order to achieve a sonic spirit in abstract form.

Ludicrous and distorted human behaviors are told by magnifying musical intervals and entering the spaces in-between, and simultaneously dramatizing subtle microtonal motifs, ultra-fine polyrhythmic, polymetric and polytempic pitched patterns assemble the skeleton of an engine symbolizing various systems.

The configuration and framework of this mechanism represents both harmonious and non-harmonious aspects in society. Rearranging and coloring components of tradition, neglecting moral codes, and separating ingredients of rituals to showcase humankind’s failures and accomplishments.

The composer has been experiencing an immense amount of frustration, anger, confusion, helplessness and fear because of what has been happening in his surroundings and the sociopolitical system. Consequently, the music is contemplations on corruption, oppression and murder.

“Ministry Of Tall Tales” is an all-synthesis based work, dark and melodic with a noise aesthetic.

Mentalità 011 with @sarabamba

"SARABAMBA is the name of the queer-tech project born in Florence, Italy in 2022. Collaborating with the producer Abo Abo, SARA and BAMBA have established a musical project featuring original “frizzantino” (fizzy) pop tracks. Their DJ sets constitute a diverse flow of techno selections, while maintaining a plurality of subgenres, with tribal and trance influences. Since 2022, they have built a versatile and inclusive collective, comprising DJs, performers, visual artists, photographers, graphic designers, and stylists. All of this finds expression in the events of the format created by SARABAMBA, Astrofluid, resident at the Cassero LGBTQIA+ Center in Bologna, as well as in select Tuscan clubs. The choice to wear masks, initially to avoid recognition by their mothers, has evolved over time into an identity trait rooted in anonymity."

Mentalità 011 with Sarabamba 21.02.24

On ACEN058, label boss DJ Pitch teams up with Berlin-based artist MLE to put together an EP of energetic, stripped-down dancefloor cuts. MLE, Rhythm Section affiliate and Refuge Worldwide resident, presents her first released productions; DJ Pitch puts out his first offerings on the label since 2022’s Scared.

First up on the record is the energetic Proto Windmill. Kicking off in a relentlessly jacking house groove, a blissful sample gently enters the fray. A lively vocal sample, reminiscent of UK funky MCs, encourages the dancers whilst MLE and Pitch masterfully switch between dreamy strings and punchy percussive sections.

Next up is Drum Trak 101. Playful, satisfyingly off-kilter drums set the pace, punctuated by oddball vocal samples and rallying whistles. Whilst the percussion gets a thorough workout, this drum track has an emotional edge to it, with soaring strings and a bouncy, uplifting chord progression.

Wicked Cool Mega Safe ramps things up into a high-intensity groove. Whilst stripping things down to percussive basics, the track remains endlessly compelling, with a forceful four-to-the-floor clap pattern surrounded by ecstatic snare rolls, percussive grunts and syncopated tom hits.

Closing the record in fine style is Post Club Post Step. An acidic synth line rolls underneath rigid four-to-the-flour drums, whilst a bouncy sub bass jumps between the beats. A dubbed-out vocal sample brings an air of urgency to the track, introducing an earworm synth melody that runs above the track’s energetic tech house groove.

FOIL #8 w/ Sofftronic (16/03/24)

The field was empty and bare but for a small patch of colour and greenery in the far corner. Here the wild flowers grew amidst what was otherwise a bitter and barren landscape. They were a radiant showcase of pinks and purples, reds and yellows, blues and oranges. Stood beside the small flower bed he looked backwards towards the city from where he had came, it was a collection of dense grey and black shadows in the hazy glow of the late afternoon sun. It was bleak out here but for the tiny patch, it was all that was left of colour in this world. 

Baroque Sunburst is a relatively new record label moving with a quick pace and a keen ear. The label is set to release a new EP from Soreab and it's an interesting, pensive affair.
