What can I say about dead celebrities that hasn’t been said already? A lot actually. Which is why I’m not going to say anything. I’m really not. So anyways, we’re continuing the investigation we last left off with on the previous episode. I mean, we have our answers, we know where things are going, right? Maybe not literally but how could you possibly know where part three is going to end. Will our loose cannon cops play by the rules? Will they even fire their weapons at innocent minorities? Not a real story if neither of those things are happening. Vampires are real, though. I’m not budging on that one. But I am edging on it. Anyways, enjoy the rest of this story with these here boys. They had a good time, because I know they did. I made them. DUH-DUHN.

To accompany his interview in The Wire 495, Kolkata born Nilotpal Das, aka Bios Contrast, creates a special mix of his own tracks alongside music by influences including Aphex Twin, Madvillain, Deftones, AR Rahman, and My Bloody Valentine
https://www.thewire.co.uk/audio/tracks/wire-mix-bios-contrast-nilotpal-das

“The harmonium I use was gifted to my grandfather by his friend 45 years ago, and then he gave it to me,” says Kolkata musician Nilotpal Das. “I started playing when I was around 14. It’s really old and worn out, with an old sound to it. I wanted to experiment with how I can make drone sounds with it.”

The instrument appears in modified forms in his expansive, sometimes noisy, droning electroacoustic compositions. Another side of Das’s production is a collision-heavy club output that takes cues from “dubstep, noise, jungle, drum ’n’ bass” among numerous other sources of inspiration. Das works under his own name and the alias Bios Contrast, which “comes from the Greek word bios, meaning life, and contrast, which also means against life – I don’t really like the name but I’m stuck with it”.

As to how he decides which name suits each release, he leans into the confusion: “The stuff I put out is like a mixed bag, much like [Japanese video game designer] Hideo Kojima. I feel like now my stuff shouldn’t make sense all the time and that’s good, in a way I’ll have more artistic freedom.” His main tools are his laptop and Ableton, which he runs almost everything through. “My club tracks are mostly sample-based, and I also use harmonium samples,” he explains. Alongside soft-synths and samplers on his drone and ambient pieces he plays “guitar as well, but not as good as the harmonium. It’s been two years of playing the guitar – I used it with a bow like a string instrument. I also have a violin, but I play the guitar as a violin.”

Here, he curates a special Wire mix in advance of his new album SSAC42, which will be released on 27 June by Infinite Machine.

In "The Wire", David Simon’s telltale masterpiece about what’s wrong with America and especially, the criminal justice system, Omar, is a tragically but instinctively noble and likeable stick-up character, played by the late Michael K. Williams and he put our whole moral dilemma in perspective when he said, “A man’s got to have a code.”

RETIRE is a cinematic trap anthem that captures the death of the laugh track and the rise of raw storytelling. This isn’t nostalgia—it’s a eulogy for sitcoms and a salute to the cable gods who changed television forever. With HBO as muse, this track dives into iconic shows like The Wire, The Sopranos, and Six Feet Under, flipping their legacy into poetic bars and haunting imagery.

Produced with glitched TV static, piano in a minor key, and a thumping 808 heartbeat, RETIRE blends conscious rap with trap’s backbone. It’s the sound of memory, power, trauma—and the crown cable stole from traditional broadcast. This is for the fans who grew up with complexity, not comfort.

Perfect for listeners of Kendrick, Westside Boogie, and Earl Sweatshirt. 🔥
