Her love for music first leads Agnès AOKKY to radio Nova where she dicusses culture and counter-culture as a chronicler-host for « Le Grand Mix Week-End » along with Gilles Peterson's World Wide. Nowadays, she mixes in every sense of the word as an author, performer and DJ. Inspired by Rimbaud's stream, she superimposes poems and electronica / braindance sounds. She works with underground producers such as Maxime Komori and Computer Truck by her side. Its first track « Les Poissons-Chats » is rather an intimate and acoustic ditty which tells the story of the time spent in the shifting sands of drunken times. For a touch of added electro, Hologram Teen's synthesizers – keyboarder for Stereolab from 1995 to 2001 – are all the rage in the psychedelic/disco/dub remix. As for the aesthetics, Agnès AOKKY went for The Bow aka Markus Hofko, whose talent was already confirmed in several music videos for artists such as Flying Lotus, KOKOKO!, Débruit and The Gaslamp Killer. Starting from a Ying-Ju Lu portrait, he splashes the photograph with sometimes shimmering, sometimes cold colors.

After three years of throwing parties, the Berlin based event series collective was thrilled to announce something they have been dreaming of for a while now, the launch of new label and the first Awkwardly Social record release.
Similar to events and mix series, their goal is to use the label as a platform for exciting, up and coming artists from within closest community and beyond. Working together with a good friend, the very talented Greek-born, Berlin-based DJ and producer Aroent therefore was a real pleasure for the label guys.

PREMIERE #1119 | Aroent - Smomber [Awkwardly Social] 2020

The wall, ancient and crumbling underfoot, became their runway. They were a cat-walking anachronism, splitting time in two with their body's edges. Leather lacerated the skin they lived in. But as the flesh broke so did the battlements, their stiletto heels daggering and grinding the brick into beachy sand. A searchlight snapped onto their figure. They shone, starlike - then posed.

Following the charge of high profile electronic artists from Tel Aviv (Red Axes, Mor Elian, Autarkic et al.) comes PAG Records: a new collective forcing art, fashion, sound and identities to dangerous new territory. Their debut release is DRAMA QUEER: a compilation of spectacular, theatrical EBM, electro and industrial. Though cast from around the globe, its dramatis personae - including Silent Servant, Lokier and our selection from Cardopusher - share one voice, projecting a radical performance towards the Israeli capital. All the world’s a stage, but Yafo is the place where this queer melodrama will move the most.

The computer screens flickered, omitting a bright glow that lit the small dark room. Shoulder to shoulder smartly dressed men sat hovered over the screens, intently watching the information that shot across the screen in a rapid bursts. Illegible code and indecipherable numbers; blink and you'd miss it. From the outside, little was known about the operations taking place in this building. Many speculated but all were too afraid to ask...

Under his Pleasure Model alias, Bristol born producer and film composer Antoni Maiovvi explores his love of wave, synth and Italo disco. Having previously released an EP and two albums for Budapest's Dalmata Daniel, he now makes a return to the label ahead of his new LP on 100% Silk, delivering a four tracker titled Update 2.1. Written during a period spent living in The Hague, the release is a batch of freaky Italo jams, complete with weighty drums and soaring synths.

A special undercover project debut from Templefeld (Kirk Degiorgio), with a remix by Anthony Child (Surgeon), sends a message of positivity. A curious Chimera of sounds presents itself out of the wild, from kinetic half-time drum and bass-heavy techno to shoegaze wall of sound to dreamy sunset islander vibes.
