pi pi pi premiere: Opheliaxz - Kookaburra (Self Released)

Total Annihilation Beach is the latest collection from Caveman LSD, one of the handful of monikers of Special Guest DJ / uon / sometimes just shy. Their releases under this name have always had the character of sonic transmissions – crushed sine-waves hurtling out of a wormhole, remote pirate radio bandwidths, whale-song picked up on radar, and so on. Here, the signal seems to come from a place whose remoteness is not defined by distance, but adjacency: these are alternate reality bops.

Premiere: Lewi Boome - Softbody (Twin System)

incredibly honored to have been invited to contribute a piece of music for the new @companionmelb compilation.

this one is called ‘metanoia’ which essentially means the change in one’s life after a profound mystical experience. my intention with the music is for those moments of depth where your heart and mind have been opened and you feel raw and vulnerable and the music is just holding you there, reassuring that you’re experience is valid and you are seen by the universe, by the earth and by your fellow humans.

thanks to @pjenne and @milluu for including me in this amazing body of work and to all the other artists involved.

bless,

ISLA35 - NAP & Linear Flux - Aloneptu (Previews)

Putting a pigeon amongst the cats we are back with that good shit. An out of step, incidental artefact of peaceful sophistry: YS - Brutal Flower (2 x “12 LP). A no airs and graces piece of cool future-proof ambience. A modern ballad for brave young clubbers, local pubbers, slipstream warriors, and emotional doggers. 

The distinctive aesthetic hallmarks of YS are all here: slabs of urban flavor from emotional interior; raw data straight from the interface. Both hopeful and mourning: this is the lay of the land in Brutal Flowers. It feels young in an ancient sort of way: pure as first snow. Unfolding with the patience, tranquility and the expansive poise of a work that is for now and always. Pulsating and gently to assured - a flickering skyline, swarming with warm memories. 

An aesthetic reflection of a creative process that is delicate and restless. Created in the edges, where long distances, fast cities and global melancholia are wrought large. Burning the midnight oil Berlin-Singapore style: from real to reel. A sentimental exercise of modern faith by old friends. With a nudge and a wink, Brutal Flowers is a (de)coded map of memories wavering with familiar intrigue. Patient listeners and the already initiated will be rewarded on revists - as playful & profound as you please, as deep as the heart. 

The scathe that cuts is clean and deep. There are no sleight of hands to be found in this opus, only hearts are worn on the sleeve here. 

If this is the final dance music boss, then so be it.
