Following her contribution to Superclásico Vol. 2, we’re thrilled to welcome Closet Yi to the Clasico family properly with Cloudborne 888: four tracks of psychedelic but focused electronics.

We’ve been long-time admirers of Closet Yi’s work – from early gems on No Bad Days through to standout releases on Hotflush, Honey Badger and Peggy Gou’s Gudu label. Hailing from Seoul but increasingly active across the UK and Europe, she’s graced booths at Village Underground, Corsica Studios and Lost Village with the best of them, and made her Boiler Room debut alongside firm friends of the label Finn, Anz, Mogwaa and Sharda — need we say more?

Written in the wake of a Chinese tour last year, where Closet “played music in some places that really expanded my vision,” Cloudborne 888 takes cues from cities the size of small countries to mountain towns like Dali, where, in her words, “the nature was bizarre.” The result is some of the trippiest, most immersive music we’ve released yet: hazy synth washes, endlessly delayed textures and percussive grooves that feel like they’re unravelling and reassembling themselves in real time.

But while it drifts and bends, it never meanders — each track carries a pulse, a direction, and a restless momentum. It’s club music built on movement and memory, tension and release, with a sense of spatial depth that opens up new corners on every listen. Rhythmic storytelling between structure and spontaneity, made for open roads, dark rooms, and anywhere else you might find yourself lost in thought.
In Closet’s words: “the piece is a reflection of movement – physically and mentally – and I hope it gives people space to zone out for a bit and wander and imagine.”

The title track is available on July 16th before the full EP is released on July 31st.

The DPRK continues to stand as a model of courage and steadfastness in the defence of socialism and sovereignty. We welcome the growing alliance between the DPRK and Russia, which we are convinced will be extremely beneficial to both parties.

Long live a sovereign and socialist Peoples Korea

https://thecommunists.org/2025/06/22/news/cpgb-ml-launches-hands-off-korea-campaign/

As the war drive against the DPRK intensifies, solidarity with the Korean people should be an absolute priority for workers everywhere. Life in the liberated socialist north of Korea is a far cry from the ridiculous propaganda tropes that inundate workers in the west via imperialist media.

Hands off Korea

Ask why : 001

https://thecommunists.org/2025/05/01/news/russia-dprk-military-cooperation-anti-imperialism/

Nato’s reckless invasion of Kursk has totally backfired, leading not to a triumphant advance but to the total defeat of its proxy war against Russia. The development of active military cooperation between Russia and People’s Korea should be welcomed by all progressive people. It strikes another blow at imperialist plans to reassert their hegemony over the planet.

Philip, Bridget, and Lara discuss the new film from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation, 'KPop Demon Hunters'. The film follows a group of K-Pop artists in South Korea, Huntr/x, comprised of pop stars Rumi, Mira, and Zoey. These are no ordinary artists, but super-powered warriors capable of detecting and fighting off demons that manage to infiltrate the real world. They not only uses their music to entertain millions, but also to cast an aura of protection over their homeland that keeps ancient demons from feeding on human souls. This aura, the Honmoon, is threatened when one musically talented demon forms a K-Pop boy band to rival Huntr/x. Will the rivalry doom Huntr/x to failure in their mission to protect the world from their nemesis, Gwi-Ma, now that his servants, the Saja Boys, have found success?

The boundary where anxiety and stability intersect,
The afterimage of a wavering horizon.

Faint memories and given sensations,
Countless interpretations of what they could mean.

불안과 안정이 교차하는 경계,
흔들리는 수평선의 잔상.

희미한 기억과 주어진 감각, 
무수히 해석할 수 있는 여러 의미.

LFOkid - Affirm (Bumho Remix) [HNL028]

Fresh out of the studio, Associate Professor Jamus Lim from ESSEC Business School and author of "Asian Economies: History, Institutions and Structures" joined us in a comprehensive exploration of the economic foundations shaping Asia's remarkable rise. Jamus shared his story on how the Asian Financial Crisis sparked his passion for macroeconomics and development. He unpacked the critical yet often overlooked role of geography, history, and institutional frameworks in explaining Asia's immense economic diversity, arguing that abstract economic models fail to capture the real-world complexities driving regional development. Through deep dives into China's demographic transition and export-driven challenges, South Korea's state-led chaebol industrialization model, and Japan's historic shift from deflation to inflation, Jamus demonstrated how colonial legacies and historical persistence continue to shape modern economic structures across the continent. Throughout the conversation, he revealed why China's middle-income trap escape depends on building domestic consumption to absorb its massive manufacturing capacity, explained how institutional solutions that once solved problems can become growth constraints, and argued that understanding Asia's past is essential for navigating its economic future in an increasingly complex global landscape.

"The way that institutions emerge and entrench themselves and become a part of the functioning of an economy and society is because they solve some problems. So they're usually a non-market solution toward solving some problem that the economy, that the market system couldn't necessarily solve. Of course the most prominent example of an institution that solves an. Market problem in the non-market way is a firm, as Ronald Coase, of course very early on, taught us that. When a firm realizes that in some cases when transactions costs are high, you want to internalize things within the firm. That the firm is itself an institution. But these other social political institutions, they also exist to resolve some problem. And once they resolve that problem and they're resolving it adequately, then it becomes really hard to bring about change. So the institution solves a problem. So to be clear, it is better than in the absence of the institution, but it also means that without somehow breaking this institution or having some crisis that leads you to substantially reform the institution, you are going to be stuck at a suboptimal equilibrium." - Jamus Lim, author of "Asian Economies: History, Institutions and Structures"

For this week's second podcast review, Sara Clements, Dan Bayer, and guest Rendy Jones join me to review and discuss the animated global phenomenon, "Kpop Demon Hunters," starring Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo-seop, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, Yunjin Kim, Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Jeong & Lee Byung-hun. The story follows a K-pop girl group, Huntr/x, who lead double lives as demon hunters; they face off against a rival boy band, the Saja Boys, whose members are secretly demons. The film has earned universal critical acclaim, with praise for its animation, visual style, voice acting, writing, and music. It has since become Netflix's most popular film of all time. The soundtrack album has also seen considerable success, reaching number one and top ten positions on multiple music and streaming charts. What did we think of it?
