Women’s voices deserve to be heard,
Mutual support amongst women is crucial,
Emotional labour from women is valuable.

Outside of the steady flow of daily tasks and the maintenance of everyday order, music provides us an opportunity to once again fall into a state of deep contemplation, breaking through the passive mundanity of quotidian life. After a four-month hiatus, Scandal has gathered together eight local female producers to launch its debut compilation “Scandal: Alexithymia 述情障碍” in January of 2022. This release will also officially mark the establishment of the Scandal label. We will also continue to achieve our goal: to help more women express their creative desires and pursue their creative passions, and increase the representation of female musicians.

The term Alexithymia is a classical compound combining the ancient Greek words “a-” “léxis” “thymós”, respectively translated as "no" "speech" "emotion". Taken literally, the term means “silent and ruthless”. In the field of psychiatry, alexithymia is a personality trait characterized by the inability to perceive and express emotions in daily life.

“Scandal: Alexithymia 述情障碍” intends to reflect on the current atmosphere of atomization and fragmentation in our society, inviting eight local female producers to demonstrate how they express this emotional blockage through their music. At present, alexithymia is ubiquitous, exacerbated by coronavirus social distancing, an increasingly polarized political landscape when it comes to social and identity-based issues, or other reasons we’re unable to discuss. In a world where we can’t speak to our emotions, we need the interpretive power of music more than ever.

We’re back with G-FORCE 002 and oh boy, how things have unfolded since we launched in February. As 96 Back says in his accompanying interview, it’s ‘Silly season’! There’s too much to unpack. But moving swiftly on from the drama in true FIA-style, we’re here with the ever brilliant Sheffield-born, London-based artist.

Opening with an iconic Kimi Raikkonen x Ferrari moment (one of his many goldmine radio moments), it’s a mix that challenges you in pace, ‘whiplashing  from one mood to the next’, which feels very fitting as a soundtrack for the Japanese Grand Prix - the only figure-of-eight track on the F1 calendar, a challenging fast track. 96 Back captures the volatile atmosphere of race day, never knowing quite what you’re going to get, with that anticipation of chaos always looming around the corner. 

Previously held in a late-season slot (the second to last race in the calendar), more championships have been settled in Japan than any other country with this season being the first time it’s held in April. Due to this scheduling, the race has a rich history of driver battles as they compete for those season-defining points - most famously between Senna and Prost (both at McLaren) who would deliberately crash into each other and force retirement, keeping the FIA on their toes as they work through loopholes and push the boundaries of the rulebook.

Four years on from his debut 'Virgo' LP, Oakland-based producer Jerod S. Rivera prepares to unveil his sophomore album 'Dot Dash'...Our pick is 'Seamstress Clock' - a deep dive into drone-infused ambient, encompassing the listener in a cloud-like cocoon of textures. LA-based artist Cat Lauigan contributes her blissful poetry to the lush soundscape, weaving murmured vocals like a delicate thread that intertwines with Rivera’s experimental churns. Together, they craft a third-eye memoir where fragmented dreams are sewn into a singular tapestry, offering a glimpse into an alternate reality.

We have been witnessing genocide in Palestine for more than a year, and since October 1st, 2024, Israel has invaded Lebanon, defying any moral logic. Our community in Prague has been organizing and spreading awareness in a highly Zionist Czech society for many months. Transmission for Lebanon is a collective effort to take a stance and support the cause of Lebanese sovereignty and anti-colonial struggle.

All proceeds from this album will be donated to the Lebanese Red Cross, Beirut Synth Center (who are in direct contact with local shelters in Lebanon and providing resources to the displaced), and Secours Populaire.

Our effort is to support the resistance and stand against the suffering of the Lebanese people. We believe in anti-colonialism and the freedom of the Global South from Western imperialism. 🇱🇧
