KS Podcast 8: Matthew Kent

The inaugural release for SWIMS, a new experimental-focused imprint of Cold Blow, who are releasing the LP alongside London label and NTS residents Kit Records.

French lifeguard and sonic artist Roméo Poirier’s long sold out debut tape finally gets a vinyl reissue. “Plage Arrière” is a deep sea meditation on a constellation of Greek beaches across three islands. Trumpets, echo-clicks and Harold Budd-esque shimmer piano whirl together on these seductive scapes, which recall the sub-aqeaous ambitions of Jürgen Müller or Jan Jelinek inspecting a coral reef. 

Like sand-caked postcards, or pieces of seaglass tumbled and re-engineered by their surroundings, each piece exists a keepsake from the song's namesake beach. 
These missives glide in and out of earshot, bustling like miniature engines, finely tuned and rhythmically confounding. They echo the factory sampling work of YMO on Technodelic: industrial but somehow good-natured, a symbiosis of machinery and wildlife - like an artificial reef or propeller blades smothered in algae.

Plage Arrière is Roméo’s second album this year following “Kystwerk”, where he joined forces with the Norwegian poet Lars Haga Raavand.

The album has been remastered for vinyl by Sam Annand of Esk. Building on its original artwork, the vinyl edition features new photography by Roméo himself.

Roméo Poirier: Plage Arrière ‎LP [KR22V/SWIM01]

Suzanne Ciani is a true electronic music pioneer. The five Grammy nominated Italian-American neoclassical composer is unquestionably one of the greatest minds that contemporary music has ever witnessed. After an incredible career spanning forty years, Ciani’s accomplishments have become a benchmark when discussing the origins of musical synthesis. For more than four decades she developed a body of work that transcends the music industry, composing for film, video games and famous advertising campaigns that have impacted popular culture.

On December 14, 2019, after six years of sound experimentation, Lapsus Festival bid farewell to Barcelona’s Centre for Contemporary Culture. Its final event was entitled 'A Sonic Womb' and was dedicated to the musical roots of the synthesizer, with Suzanne Ciani headlining on the night.

Ciani performed an exclusive show accompanied by her modular Buchla 200e synthesizer and enveloped in a specially designed multi-channel sound environment by Intorno Labs. It was a sonic voyage to the very heart of her beloved machine and a tribute to improvisation through an instrument that is said to possess its own soul. Suzanne described the night as ”an improvisation that I began using in the ’70s and continue to use now as raw material. Each performance based on this material has its own expression and one could liken it to jazz."

Lapsus Records is therefore extremely honoured to present 'A Sonic Womb: Live Buchla Performance at Lapsus', a unique live recording of this extra special concert. The album will be released mid September on Lapsus Records and can be pre-ordered now at www.lapsusrecords.cat.

Kkbbxx (Threads*Reverie) - 31-Jul-20

When we started talking about dream bookings for the first SLINK night, @cassius-select was always at the top of our list. Via can't miss club drops and his stretched and screwed releases as FAKE, he's never been less than unpredictable and wildly inventive. He provided the perfect peak time set for us last year and we're honored to have him back for the second installment of our mix series. 

"I wanted to make a less club-oriented mix not only to reflect my musical upbringing and background but to reflect the times we're in now. An industry I always felt separate to is going through some changes. But it's allowed me to feel more comfortable about going back to writing songs and using my voice again. In my life I feel that songs are more functional than dance music at the moment.

I know the SLINK crew are fans of a wide variety of music and I like them all dearly so I wanted to deliver something more personal.

I wanted the mix to hold tension until the very last moments. Three quarters of it glooms while the last bit blooms. That was the intention" - CS
