'One Of The Receivers’ is an 8-track adaptation of the text, ‘Notes From A Pandemic’, released by August Skipper in 2020, a collection of poetry and abstract musings on the nature of shared delusion and collective psychosis in the face of extraordinary historical events. The music takes the form of heavy, cinematic drones, interspersed with moments of explosive sound design, a shifting base upon which a narrative unfolds that is at once dream-like, bizarre, foreboding and intimate.

In October of 2020 August Skipper released his text “Notes From A Pandemic” in book format. With text sleekly inlaid on a cloth bound cover, black on black, the materiality of the book contextualizes itself within the historically tense environment it came to fruition within. Hand numbered and signed, a limited edition of 200 copies, the gesture of intimacy between writer and reader is reflective. Skipper advertised the book as a reflection on “the psychic implosion resulting from the initial European quarantine”. Two years past the global phenomena that was, and for some still is, COVID-19 Skipper's negotiation of angst, vulnerability, and confusion was a prescient illustration of what would come to be a particularly turbulent world event.

November 12, 2023 sees the release of “One Of The Receivers”, a re-examination of Skipper’s text within an aural framework. Not simply a spoken word recanting of the text, Skipper uses “One Of The Receivers” as a new setting for dramaturgical collaboration and tonal placement of his writings. Skipper enlists fellow artists Cunce, Angelo Harmsworth, Luna Vassarotti, Samuel Savenberg, Wan, and Ireen Amnes to engender the uneasy surreality that is the post-pandemic zeitgeist into hallucinatory auditory landscapes. Skipper’s voice floats with dramatic affect over his collaborators’ sonic palettes, stylistically challenging his utility as both narrator and sound source in the environments that “One Of The Receivers” inhabits.

Skipper’s journal of uncertainty resonates in a new capacity from its initial inception both in time and media format. Curiously, the recycled investigation within his musings give pause for reflection that, in fact, we are perhaps in no further illuminated a space. Sitting amidst an interstitial contemporary reality of dread, boredom, and confusion we collectively yearn for a new kind of catharsis, one that seems, as yet, beyond our immediate grasp.

IOD PODCAST #073 // SKUMRING

DJ Hidden has been an important part of the PRSPCT family since day one. Throughout the years, this talented artist has been reinventing himself through a wide range of quality music. 

Whether it be as DJ Hidden or industrial hardcore duo The Outside Agency, or any of his uncountable other aliases, Noël Wessels aka DJ Hidden just keeps writing and releasing mind-blowing tracks. Always reinventing and experimenting while keeping that dark signature DJ Hidden sound we all love so much. 

On this brand new 4-tracker titled "The White Mountain EP", DJ Hidden has journeyed back to the roots of the old-school drum & bass and jungle he fell in love with in the early days. Killer break beats, deep, dark subs and a ton of atmosphere are the key ingredients of this release. It is an ode to the glory days of the genre, heavily respecting the old school while seamlessly adding a heavy dose of brand new and exciting elements to it. 
This is a stunning record by this PRSPCT veteran. That's for sure.

Out March 1st 2024 on PRSPCT recordings.

AnD’s new LP ‘When Stars Collide’ is a conceptual work, spawned at the intersection of granular synthesis, sound design, rhythmic experiments in polyphony and, as the title suggests, the collision of stars.

Drawing from prior engineering experience, the LP extrapolates from mathematical conjunctions in relation to the timing of the collision of stars, the way that time relates to light and how this language is interpreted by satellites. The LP contains something of the colossal indifference of space, white noise, cut-up breaks and minimal synth elements occurring in vacuum mirror the mental events of the listener, giving voice to a parallel unfolding.

Sun Ray

Premiere: AnD - Sun Ray [IOD060]

IOD PREMIERE #040// SLAVE TO SOCIETY - AI INVASION

"Slave To Society (ex AnD) returns to Natural Selection with a white-hot experimental techno EP, accompanied by an IDM-infused remix from industrial electronica duo; Somatic Responses. 
‘Ai Invasion’ is a sonic exploration of the symbiotic relationship between humanity and technology. Slave To Society uses carefully designed futuristic soundscapes and atmospheric textures, layered with AI generated vocals, combined with heavy and fiercely unpredictable drum elements. Expect advanced, experimental hard techno and noise, fused with powerful low-end muscle, raging hi-hats, fragmented percussion and augmented amens. In true Slave To Society fashion, all rules and boundaries are smashed to pieces and all tracks are equally suitable for blasting through the world’s biggest club systems and rigs as they are for home listening.

Mastered by Dadub Studios, Berlin.
Cut by Simon at The Exchange Vinyl.
