The room was vast and cold, decked with floor to ceiling mirrors that reflected the hazy light streaming through the dusty windows. It was clear that this house had once been a spectacle, owned by people with far more money than sense. But now it lay derelict and abandoned, forgotten by its owners who'd left it in a complete state of disarray. Like those who'd once owned this grand house, its history had been completely wiped out; lost in time and space...

London-based imprint Pseudonym Records entered the world at the end of last year with the first V/A release in their Corporeal series, bringing together several emerging producers operating in the spaces between broken club music, UK Techno and DnB. Now they're returning for the second release in the series, tasking a new line up of artists—Sputnik One, FoxMind, Palf, Big Hands and Thodén—with cooking up another EP rife with percussive, breaks-driven and bass-heavy sounds.

PREMIERE: FoxMind - Mirror Bounce [Pseudonym Records]

Taken from SBKT048: 33EMYBW & Gooooose - Trans-Aeon Express

Artwork: Weirdcore
Design: Luke Griffiths
Mastering: Raphael Valensi
Release Date: 25th March 2022

In late 2020, in the midst of lock downs and worldwide uncertainty, London based visual artist Weirdcore presented his first solo exhibition, ‘Orient Flux’, at SKP-S in Beijing, supported by Kennedy London. Developed and produced remotely due to travel restrictions, the exhibition spanned 7 interconnecting audio-visual installations forming a ‘train station from the future’, with music and sound design by 33EMYBW and Gooooose. Initially arriving at the ‘Stellar Lounge’, passengers traversed through the ‘Oblique’ security checks, decompress and adjust their bodies for travel in the ‘Microcosmic’ zone, and pass through the ‘Infinity Gates’ and ‘Dimensional Horizon’ to finally board the ‘Trans-Aeon Express’, an illusory bullet train, to embark on a spatio-temporal journey through time.

‘Trans-Aeon Express’ by 33EMYBW and Gooooose is a continuation of this project, with music and sound design from the exhibition, as well as new tracks inspired by and sampling elements/ambience from the various installations. Released on a limited-edition LP, as well as digitally, the album features new artwork by Weirdcore, updating and evolving the original Orient Flux emblem, with graphic design and layout by Luke Griffiths.

Special thanks to Kennedy London and SKP-S Beijing.

海外巡演常置人於飄搖的情況－SIM卡沒辦法運作，付款方式屢遭拒絕，與複雜的地緣政治離不開關係的簽證申請過程。 然而，以Bungalovv為名發行音樂的Pablo Betas，在開啟三個月的亞洲巡演前，便已對飄搖的環境了熟於心。 他在阿根廷飄搖不定的經濟及政治環境中度過了大半輩子，前幾年則作為移民工人在柏林的創意行業中工作，這些經歷已使他與飄搖（precarity）結下了深厚的關係。 他的人生是以持續的創作去面對飄搖處境的故事。

Touring overseas puts you in precarious situations—SIM card that doesn’t work, payment methods that get declined, complex visa application processes entangled with geopolitical complexities. Pablo Betas, who releases music under the alias Bungalovv, however, knows precarity well even before taking on the three-month long tour in Asia. Having lived amid the perpetually precarious economic and political climate in Argentina and worked as a migrant worker in the creative field in Berlin for the past few years, he has formed a deep relationship with precarity. His story is one that negotiates precarity with the consistent act of creating.

Bring You Home is a Vocal  UK Garage track about loyalty and real love - being there when she's lost, answering the call, and bringing her home.

Mr D Featuring Mc Tenda-Bring You Home

Edge Control dives straight into a rugged breakbeat pulse, driven by a hypnotic vocal that pulls you deeper with every bar. At the center sits a dirty, grimy bassline—equal parts darkness and beauty—shaping the track’s gritty, magnetic atmosphere. This one’s built to lure the floor in and keep them there, locked into its relentless groove.
