28th Episode of Cartel Podcast with Hypnoskull

June 2022 marked the exact 30th anniversary of German/Belgian Patrick Stevens (°1973) project hypnoskull which was started in 1992, rooted in the aftermath of the first wave of industrial music but as well in the humid warehouses of the early techno scene of the nineties and the underground stages of harsh noise. One of the pioneers to combine industrial music with techno resulting in legendary releases on the German cult-label ant-zen, numerous live performances all over the globe in iconic clubs like CBGB’s New York, Rex Paris, KitKat Berlin and cities like Moscow, Beirut, Los Angeles, Chicago and so on, this one-man project, sometimes expanded with artists and performers from contemporary dance, theatre and film, is as unpredictable as the ideology behind it: a lo-fi, harsh, monotone assault of political thoughts, subversive rants and sheer emotional outbursts towards a society first questioned, deconstructed, destroyed and left behind without a solution or a better plan. Music as a weapon and as well as a tool for self-dissection. In recent years, hypnoskull got acknowledged by lots of producers and artists in the field of industrial techno, resulting in releases, collaborations, remix work and production for many of the big players in this genre. 


SPECIFIC INFO ON THE PODCAST FOR CARTEL, LATE AUGUST 2022

For this podcast, hypnoskull selected a number of brandnew tracks and releases as well as some forgotten old gems. Crossing every possible border of whatever written and unwritten rules of whatsoever ‘scene’ or subculture, this mix fiercely shows what it is still about for Patrick Stevens, after 30 years of producing, playing live and deejaying, as he states himself: ‘I get claustrophobic when I witness how the techno scene became lately. Techno became the soundtrack provided by good looking boys and girls who strive to make their business plans come true, in clubs that degraded themselves from laboratories to corporate boxes of emptiness. That’s why I selected both some radical memories from tracks and styles which were once as well played in the clubs, and some brilliant music by new, young and emerging producers. Belgium is as well coming back from a low, especially in the city of Brussels, where plenty of astonishing producers be them Belgians or expats gather and create a new wave of exciting electronic music as we speak. That was a long time ago. They’re in here as well by the likes of Maltash, Elaina Vierce and Raum. And Paris as well, check Age of hate, ZNZL, Prophän,… There’s a great connection between both cities also. I truly believe great stuff will happen again very soon.’

Dalmata Daniel ‎– DDE05
LAU
[10" Lathe cut / Digital]

In the past few years LAU has become one of the key figures of Budapest electronic music and club scene as a DJ and producer. Our label's relationship with her musical journey goes back almost to the beginning, as we had the privilege of releasing her first track on one of our compilations with Farbwechsel, followed by quite a few songs on more various artists, her first remix for Krypton 81 and a collaboration EP with CT Kidobó.

Now, Dalmata Daniel has the honour to share LAU's first 4-track solo release on our DDE series. We are sure a lot of people have waited for this as we are. DDE05 is a nice variety of her sounds lead by electro influence that we can catch all in her tracks.

'Mort Subite' and 'Sea Of Distance' are based on strong melodies, bright and uplifting in the first one and melancolic in the last one, but both are deep emotional and of course these tracks come with heavy broken beats. In contrast, the two middle songs, 'Lip-Size Bites' and 'Freak It All Night' have a raw electro sound with ghettotech influences and vocals by herself!

Feel Galactic

Aria - Candy Brainwave

O novo mini-EP de Levi Lenzi, “Canti Dei Nostri Noni”, é um regresso e reinterpretação das próprias origens. A gênese da obra reside em um achado arqueológico pessoal: a descoberta de um disco abandonado na casa de seus pais, em Timbó, Santa Catarina.
O vinil em questão, traduzido do italiano, “Canções de Nossos Avós” (1984), é um compilado de canções tradicionais italianas executadas pelo Grupo Folclórico de Rodeio, cidade vizinha à terra natal do artista. Este material serviu não apenas de inspiração para o título do EP, mas como o sample de partida para a construção da faixa homônima, estabelecendo o alicerce para uma viagem sonora que conecta o passado familiar ao presente artístico.

A narrativa do EP espelha a trajetória do próprio Levi. Ecoando a história de seus antepassados imigrantes, Lenzi também traçou sua própria rota de migração. De um pequeno vale catarinense fortemente colono para Curitiba e, então, para a efervescente São Paulo, o clássico sentimento do emigrante interiorano pulsa: não caber mais no seu lugar de origem. Ao cruzar fronteiras estaduais, há uma imersão nos contrastes e na pluralidade cultural do nosso território. Essa vivência traz uma nova percepção, provocando uma expansão fundamental no entendimento do que significa ser brasileire.

É a cultura da música eletrônica que costura essa narrativa, estendendo a individualidade do produtor para além das fronteiras físicas. As duas faixas do EP traduzem esse complexo sentimento de pertencimento através de uma colagem audaciosa de samples multiculturais. Ao reinterpretar e adaptar esses materiais para a EDM, a obra instiga nossa percepção de identidade cultural através do ritmo e da textura.

Após a expansão e encontro com o que ressoa, o regresso se torna essencial para o entendimento de nosso indivíduo. “Canti Dei Nostri Noni” nos lembra que a identidade não se define apenas por onde nascemos ou crescemos, mas para onde migramos, com quem nos relacionamos e o que experienciamos. Ao fundir memórias ancestrais com a vivência cosmopolita e digital, o trabalho reafirma que a identidade brasileira se revela na vivência e na percepção única de cada indivíduo dentro do imenso coletivo que é o nosso país.

The Art Of Being Yourself is out 21.06.24

"It’s intensely personal. 
 
Passion, power, hope, elation. A fever dream of emotion.  

Over the course of the album, I have attempted to capture a multitude of feelings and tell a story of very real experiences.  
 
Each record is a catalogue of a point in time, showing where I was at musically and where I was at mentally. 
 
The album is a direct reflection of my musical influences and taste. Many different artists can claim to have had a hand in the making of this album. Some might be obvious, others, less so. 
 
I didn’t want this to be a collection of club records, it has far more intention than that. 

This is a push into new territory. Into something wider, something more in line with the sound I want to create.  

Every track stands alone in its own space, but the true feeling of the album is best captured, like any good story, when listened to from the beginning."
