RECOMP:OST w/ E3P & ealing feat. Rita Bass - 13.05.23

C-thru - The Otherworld is a collection of introspective cosmic-leaning dance music that gives a healthy nod to the golden era of trance, ambient, and down-tempo from Austin, Texas based producer Jesse Edwards. 

Inactive for several years, these 10 tracks mark a new chapter for Jesse Edwards. Previous works include his well received psychedelic project, Red Morning Chorus, that included Boards of Canada amongst its fans. 

Edwards began his musical journey in the late 90s playing shoegaze and experimental music with Jessica Bailiff (Kranky). The pair collaborated on several albums together including works with Flying Saucer Attack, His Name is Alive, & Odd Nosdam (Anticon).

Here's the recorded audio from the live stream I made at @nc248radio last Friday 16th of June in Gijón. Over one hour of dubby and intense heavy bass 160bpm+ tunes!

NC 248 Radio Livestream (16/06/23, Gijón)

After heavy-duty releases on self-administered imprints Low End Activism and Sneaker Social Club, as well as London’s beloved graffiti-laden mutant-bass stronghold Seagrave (RIP), the almighty Low End Activist makes a welcome debut with the ESP Institute. No stranger to mining distant regions the hardcore continuum and the residue of soundsystem culture at large, his relentless traversing and assembling of U.K.-specific rhythms demonstrates there is no end in sight when it comes to evolving the region’s musical gene pool. The 5-track 'Gossip Is The Devil’s Radio' strings together a smear of dystopian instrumentation—ghostly pads wrapped in melancholy, percussion that marries bleep with low resolution shrapnel, and vocal fragments that resemble a control tower’s two-way radio on the fritz—all imperfectly focused through a damaged lens of dancehall. We’re drawn to a dull moan that pervades throughout the record, reminiscent of the nihilistic moments in Abigail Meade’s score to 'Full Metal Jacket' where the sonics resemble a slow churn of molten steel occasionally punctuated and pierced by crystalline shards. The depth between the bone dry immediate foreground and distant wet background creates an exquisite sense of longing which isn’t inherently dark or menacing, but seductively bleak. As voyeurs, we may certainly appreciate the aesthetic LEA portrays, but we can’t fully comprehend the sense of escapism rooted within this music without having come of age in the damp and restless confines of England on the cusp of Thatcher’s abuse. Its a reminder that the light at the end of a tunnel, while it may be dim and grey, is still a light after-all, and the only way out is through.

With Brian Wenner, the king of the crop, Grind Select rhythms, we can’t stop!

In this wacky world of playful delight, Where sense and nonsense collide in flight,

Brooklyn-based music composer, sound designer and performer Brian Wenner – previously known as Prism House – combines sample collage techniques and live electronic improvisation to create real-time compositions. His new album “Age of Execution” on Grind Select is out on November 10, 2023. We’re premiering the latest single, ‘Chop Shop,’

‘Chop Shop’ was recorded in a single improvisational take and embodies a scattered, frenetic energy. Short sound snippets were randomly arranged and layered to create evolving melodic and rhythmic phrases that bounce around the listener. The video by Giselle Angeles compliments the track by placing the music inside of various distinct 3-D visual environments that shift and pulse in time. The organic virtual landscapes add a human component and juxtaposition to the synthetic sounding musical ideas.”

Wenner’s experimental sound design in large-scale public performance spaces centres around improvised sample playback manipulation using a modular system and field recordings.
