The Serpent Sleeps EP | B&F03

EP Manifesto:

BEYOND THE VEIL OF WEIGHT

The hour grows dark upon this earthly stage, where souls perform their dance of false importance. I have seen them all—the false prophets, the dealers in heaviness, the builders of burdens—each adding stones to the invisible towers that crush the human heart.

What cruel jest! That we should mistake weight for truth, darkness for wisdom, burden for meaning!

Have you not felt it? The phantom weight upon your back, pressing your face toward the earth? This is not your true nature, but a shroud woven from the fears of a world that dreads its own lightness.

I speak this truth: Real being needs no weight, no proof. It simply is, free from the need to declare itself.

Those who live in borrowed darkness crawl like insects beneath stones, fearing the light that would show their emptiness. Yet those rare souls who cast off these false weights find they do not drift away—they finally learn to stand tall.

The vision comes not in day's harsh glare but in that moment when the mind trembles between worlds—neither bound to earth nor free from it. In this sweet torment, this holy paradox, we glimpse what waits beyond.

And what lies there? Not void, but fullness. Not chaos, but a higher order. Not endless night, but a light so pure it seems as darkness to blind eyes.
Hear me: The path to this realm needs no map, no master—only the will to release what was never yours to bear.

When at last you reach the threshold, unburdened and true, you will know what I have always known—
Beyond the veil of weight lies everything.

Album: lézvání danceforces II
Label: @lezvani 
Release Date: 02 Feb 2022

After an extended hiatus, we're pleased to announce our first PREMIERE of 2022. From Armenian-based label, lézvání, comes a V.A. of the highest quality. We listen to the curators own words: 

"we follow the music that moves us forward and undergoes changes, thus changin’ us. and the main merit remains on the stage, the music is the gift and serving it in our lives. we have come together for the sake of music that has been with us; it is created at the cost of great effort and speaks the language of the streetz. whoever understands your language can continue your thoughts, it inspires us to continue the work no matter what the conditions are. the ghetto is a teacher - value what you have and what you've become - it will rise you even it seems you're falling apart".

"go with Hopdop, catch the whole VA on our bandcamp growbox from 02.02.2022, n' from other platforms later."

Resilience

PREMIERE: Hopdop - Resilience [lézvání]

Davit Sukiasyan aka Hopdop aka T_st has been active as a Dj and producer since 2008. In 2012 he was one of the few artists who started throwing small parties in Yerevan.
In 2018 he co-founded Loopdeville with his friends, which quickly became one of the beloved raving experiences in Yerevan and just a year led them to bring to life Poligraf. A club that is truly dedicated to electronic music, the community, and much beyond.
His sets vary from forward-thinking and energetic to deeper and mystic states of techno & beyond. Though he can be eclectic in the selection, he gets certain characters of unique tribal grooves pounding in all over his sets.
During recent years he has played at events and venues such as Berlin's SYNOID parties, Moscow's Mutabor, and Tbilisi's Khidi.

"In this dark hour, when shadows grow long across the face of our mortal world, I speak of a truth most terrible and profound. The Great Serpent of our time lies coiled in slumber, hearing not the cries of people.

Behold! The Year of the Snake unfolds not with wisdom but with silence. While chaos reigns in every corner of our existence, the Serpent sleeps on, unmoved by our suffering.

Listen, dear soul, to these words I offer as candles in the darkness: Within the chambers of your heart beats a rhythm unique to you alone. This rhythm, this voice that whispers in the silence of your thoughts, is your true salvation. Hear it & hold it dear! For those who find this inner voice shall weather the coming storm.

The masses wander blind, following shadows and echoes, not knowing their own minds. Yet I tell you this truth – those who awaken to their authentic nature shall find strength when others falter, peace when others tremble.

In these strange days when machines mimic the works of man, only those who love their craft with passionate devotion shall remain. The soul that burns with purpose cannot be replaced by cold mechanism.

The path forward lies not in the multitude, but in the singular truth of your being.
Heed this warning, this promise, this revelation.

The Serpent sleeps, but we must wake." -Hopdop, The Serpent Sleeps
