upsammy - Strange Meridians [topo2-001]

a centrifugal spin collapses inward
sucked into the ground
vibrating with the quake beneath the crust
the folding repeats itself in time
an echo amid the buildings of a primordial era

with closed eyes
the shapes begin to take form
in the debris
objects clump together into conglomerates

a scream
trapped in water-retaining cells
the moss that embeds itself after
a short passage of time
you talk back
but I can’t hear you

something springs forth
somewhere

a remnant that remains

Geek-friendly and an expert in how-to-smile-while-playing-music. BertBert is many things. A music enthousiast first and foremost he’s an avid vinyl and mp3 collector, and tracklist fundamentalist. Secondly he’s a veteran DJ who played around the world juxtaposing music from every corner in the “experimental” electronic music spectrum. Having worked for eight years as head of festivals and label for Amsterdam crew Dekmantel he also knows a thing or two about the runnings, pleasures, and ugliness of the music industry.

topo2 is an adventurous electronic music label run by Bert de Rooij. Its sole purpose is to be enthusiastic about the electronic music ecosystem, not limited to topo2 releases.
