Kris’s latest output starts this May 2023 in collaboration with his new band moniker, GHOSTS IN THE MACHIИE - A future cyber wave sci-fi inspired concept that is set in two timelines, a future looking back to the now and how we could have corrected our society before the AI take over and strip away our souls, becoming Ghosts In The Machine.

The single ‘Nothing is Real’ is a cyber body music odyssey about social media’s influences on society, priming us before the AI machines take over.

A year on from their Public Information debut, Chicago duo Jeremy Lemos and Brian Case return to the fold with five new pieces of exquisitely produced wave-funk-techno-noise-electronics.

It takes great skill to pull off a three-minute electronic drone-grumble to kickstart your new record. Lemos and Case have it in droves. The tension is jet-black, loaded with friction. Modular energy pulses in and out, in and out. Then suddenly Case takes to the microphone, snarls and spits “Hey Bullfighter, read about you in a book...”

I W I finds Acteurs in a more assured, confident, angry mood than their debut. The signifiers are there – claustrophobic Ike Yard glare, Factory Floor throb, Diagonal abstractions – but we now have a bold swagger, stomping triumphantly into frightening new space. The crushing late-song collapse of “Honey Bear” is a breathtaking wall of clatter and noise that Tim Hecker would blush at. The loopy saw-tooth menace of “River Card” is as strange as anything they’ve done and the pummeling title track could easily shatter those murky dancefloors of strip-lit basements where people from the future dance in amongst the normals; machine drums puncturing the smoke, ear damaging feedback rattles the walls, torn Moog shapes cutting chatter to zero...end of night.

We have a feeling that this is merely a stepping-stone to an incredible future direction for Acteurs, but what a platform. We will be there all the way.

Track from NE106 SHXCXCHCXSH – ……t
Out on 2xLP in January. Digital release November 22nd

Worldwide retail distribution: www.spacecadets.world

Sonically, the Swedish duo SHXCXCHCXSH distort the club context they work from by rendering functionality with an exceptionally refined and idiosyncratic palette. As logophiles, they contort the little descriptive context they afford audiences by imploding language into splintered and barely comprehensible character sequences. The impression is that each is the result of mutual process-driven experiments. 
This is all true of '......t', their new album and debut recording for Northern Electronics. However, working at this scale, SHXCXCHCXSH play with wider parameters and explore broader functions to produce their most comprehensive and focused work to date. 
Across fifteen tracks, their bespoke dark matter is stacked with drone pyrotechnics, shredded vocals, and oblique, snatched sounds that eddy into frantic melodic storms. Sublime intensity is spiked with effervescent yet brooding intermissions throughout, staking '......t' as the most crucial volume of their catalogue as it gestures toward new references.”

SHXCXCHCXSH – lljjllll

The experimental electronics duo These Hidden Hands return with a 12" Single featuring vocal contributions from Lucrecia Dalt and artwork by Jesse Draxler. An extrapolation of the the ideas explored on the debut album, this new single comprises of two cuts, leading the listener through abstract sonic terrain, drawn from the cavernous outer reach of intelligent sound design.

‘These Moments Dismantled’ a lesson of the vulnerability of musical space juxtaposed with dense apocalypticism.

‘Variant’ is reportedly a self-remix of the A side. Abrasive layering of complex textures that jerk between tension and release, where a heightened sense of drama seeps through from the frosty low-howl noir of Dalt’s vocals.

Despite this single constituting a completely independent work as an artistic collaboration between These Hidden Hands, Dalt and Draxler, we will see more from These Hidden Hands in 2016.

N-45 - ALVA NOTO - UNIEQAV
RELEASE DATE: MARCH 16TH, 2018

The Uni series began when Alva Noto was booked to play live at the club UNIT in Tokyo, and had to adapt his sound accordingly for that environment.

‘UNIEQAV’ follows-on from and develops the concept of Alva Noto’s ‘Unitxt’ and ‘Univrs’ albums, and completes the third part in the trilogy, whereby each record is both unique and part of the bigger picture. This is also mirrored in the artwork for each release, which when combined form a triptych spelling ‘Uni’.

Described by Carsten as “sonically representing an underwater dive”, the gleaming ‘UNIEQAV’ brings as usual an inherent artistic, conceptual and scientific depth. Mathematics, data, unit systems, grids, rhythms, codes, text, language, spoken word, DNA, science technology and nature are all utilised, for both inspiration and execution.

As with the last two Uni releases, the French sound poet Anne-James Chaton collaborates here, on ‘Uni Dna’. Where on previous records Chaton first provided a vocal track to which Nicolai composed, this time the duo flipped it; the poet wrote for an existing track, adding his unique vocal approach to recite amino acids that constitute the DNA molecule.

Regarding Carsten’s interest in 3D sound design and building sonic spaces, ‘UNIEQAV’ transports the listener to a modern, spacious and zen-like place for meditative movement. But conversely the album works equally well in a dark club - as for every glistening digital spark and simple, emotive melody - there’s a stealthy bassline, frenetic drum pattern and colossal low-end thump.

Alva Noto - Uni Sub

Artist: Atsushi Izumi
Title: 'Zeit'
Label: Thrènes Records
Cat. #: thrns005
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Release: 17th May, 2019
Pre order: https://threnes.bandcamp.com/album/verdigris

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Atsushi Izumi' track remixed by ANFS on 'Thrènes Records'.
‘Verdigris’ the new EP from Japanese artist Atsushi Izumi, is a deep dive into the crevice of the mind. It is an exploration of where fearful emotions lie and confronting them. 
It is only through this conflict that light can shine through in the end.
As an extra bonus to all this, there is a scintillating remix from ANFS. 
The Greek adds a bit of pace to the track Zeit. He is an artist who enjoys frantic distorted techno and it shows in this cut. 
He takes the basic elements but whereas the original slowly introduces the percussions, ANFS bangs straight in. It’s structured yet frantic and a massive sound.
