CORIN is Corin Ileto - a Filipina-Australian electronic producer, composer, DJ and performer working in theater and club spaces. Her productions and live performances are an assemblage of converging styles moving in between industrial percussion, celestial trance, and baroque-laden ambience. In her compositions, traditional forms merge with hyper-digital sounds to create cinematic imaginary realms. 

Her seminal releases include Manifest LP (Bedouin Records, 2019), Enantiodromia EP - released on Lee Gamble's iconic label UIQ (2021), and Araw EP (2021). In 2023, she released her sophomore album Lux Aeterna on UIQ which was accompanied by a performance fx video and a live AV performance which toured across Europe including Berlin Atonal (Berlin), Lunchmeat Festival (Prague), L.E.V. Matadero (Madrid), Robot Festival (Bologna) and W.O.S. Festival (Santiago de Compostela). Based in Sydney, she has garnered praise across Australia, performing at Unsound Festival (Adelaide), Soft Centre Festival (Sydney) and Dark Mofo (Hobart).

As a DJ, CORIN has appeared at respected venues including Berghain (Berlin), Final (Taipei) and Garage Noord (Amsterdam). Her style of DJing is a dynamic eclectic high-energy mix showcasing some of her favourite left-field producers and labels from the global south. Since 2020, CORIN has hosted a regular show on NTS Radio inviting diverse producers to share guest mixes including Tygapaw, Imaabs, Lawrence Lek, x/o and Animistic Beliefs.

As a composer and sound designer, Ileto works across a broad spectrum ranging from video, theater and surround sound installations often collaborating with dancer Angela Goh, Filipinx artist Phasmahammer and queer Asia-Pacific diasporic collective Club Ate. 

"Eclectic club mix of newly released tracks from producers Lao, Anh Phi, Dirty K, DJ Fucci, Mumdance and Tallin club/collective Shelter, and also some of my favourite labels from the global south."

NR Sound Mix 036 CORIN

Essential Oils―are wrung―
The Attar from the Rose
Be not expressed by Suns―alone―
It is the gift of Screws―
The General Rose―decay―
But this―in Lady’s Drawer
Make Summer―When the Lady lie
In Ceaseless Rosemary―
Emily Dickinson

Venus Ex Machina is alias of Nontokozo F. Sihwa. She has contributed sounds and music to a range of projects spanning releases on labels such as AD93  NON Worldwide and Optimo Music. Additionally, her installation work has been showcased at Hyperdub’s seminal ‘Ø’ series and at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) London. In 2021, she won the PRS Foundation Oram Award for innovation in music and sound technologies. Trained as a mathematician, she brings both a boundless curiosity and exacting precision to her work. She developed a “Pirate AI Opera” for CTM Festival in Berlin, and led a workshop on radio transmitter building at Moogfest in North Carolina. Venus Ex Machina draws on her interest in futurism, posthumanism, and the phenomenology of radio-related communication, all of which inspire her otherworldly and distinctive music. 

She has performed at numerous festivals and events across Europe including Berlin Atonal, LEV Festival (Madrid), Minimal Music Festival (Amsterdam), CTM Festival (Berlin), Oslo Contemporary Music Festival and Les Nuits Botanique (Brussels). She has lectured and given workshops at various institutions including Berklee College of Music, Slade School of Fine Art, Somerset House Studios, Tate Britain, The V&A Museum and for  Creative Europe's SHAPE Platform. Clients for sync projects and commissioned work include notable brands such as Burberry, Star Alliance and the Royal Docks. She was featured in ‘Sonic Futures’ - a documentary by FACT Magazine and the British Council, and is currently pursuing a PhD at Brown University, in addition to an ongoing variety of commissions and collaborative experiments. Upcoming projects include seasonal residencies at MONOM and Callie's in Berlin, development of a score for playwright Florence Keith-Roach, and a commission by American artist Victoria Rogers, focusing on music for dreaming. 

A third album is in progress, and will feature collaborators such as Valentina Magaletti on drums, Amy Langley on cello and Florence Rutherford-Jones on violin, among others.
