Social anxiety calls for religion, and globalization accelerates that anxiety. The fewer things logical reason can do, the more religion will serve as a guide for decision-making. In Japan before the dynasty, rainmaking was performed as a national ceremony. Before the introduction of Buddhism, it was believed that the emperor, the governor, had the ability to deliver the voice of national defense to Gods.
Japanese people dance to gods to seek rain at the summits, throw dead horse bones and dirt into the water to offend them. Alternatively,​ ​in China, people wish rain to dragons, and in Sudan and South Africa, there are examples of such great authority as shamans.
Rainmaking is a magical/religious ritual to make it rain when drought continues. This ritual can be found all over the world. Many cultures in the world had the idea that “rain is a gift from God and it is God's punishment that ceases”. Although the method is different, rainmaking rituals around the world are performed with the purpose of attracting God's attention, pleasing and

buying compassion. In addition, it has long been said that places with a lot of water and places with high humidity are easily connected to the spirit world.
There is an anecdote that if you cross the Styx, you will go to the spirit world. In this way, water has played the role of an interface connecting people and the sky since ancient times.

在随着全球化而愈演愈烈的社会焦虑下，这种社会焦虑愈发呼唤宗教和信仰的力量。逻辑推理能达到的事情越少，宗教和信仰就越能成为决策的向导。

在古代的日本，造雨是一种全国性的仪式。在佛教传入之前，人们相信皇帝，统治者有能力向神灵传达声音。日本人拜神求雨，把死马骨和泥土扔进水里触犯神灵；在中国，人们希望神龙降雨；在苏丹和南非，有像萨满这样伟大的权威例子。

当干旱持续时，造雨是一种神奇的宗教仪式，这种仪式遍布世界各地。许多文明中都有“雨是神明的礼物，是神明停止了惩罚”的观念。尽管方法不同，世界各地的造雨仪式都是为了吸引神灵的注意，取悦和获得神的怜悯。另外，人们长期以来一直认为水多、湿度大的地区更容易与精神世界相联系。

有一个传闻说，如果你穿过冥河，你就会进入精神世界。因此，水自古以来就是连接人与神灵的通道。

T5UMUT5UMU - Incantation

An iridescent hope; an imagined reality. ‘Unsleep’ is the debut collaboration between NYC’s @laenzzz & Tokyo luminary @tsumutsumu. As Laenz’s falsetto vocals dance in the reflections of crystalline club textures, the EP presents an experimental dreamscape melted from 2020’s charred blossom.

“Imagine a pair of chopsticks submerged into a glass of water. They appear to be bent by refraction of light. While veritably straight, this encounter gives credence to the mental image of curved chopsticks. At times, we process this temporality into a dream state, a safeguard against a dissipating world. Yet when transience is incongruous with our wakeful states, dreams, clung to for their impermanence, uncover a reality that is just as illusory. Whether a spectre or a dream, perceptual experience exists. As dreams and reality clash, they create frictional heat, dissolving a once tenuous boundary. The sensation that differentiates the two is an uncalibrated compass. While this blurred landscape sits through an eclipse, the future becomes backlit with promise, a contour of dissimulated simulation. The dream, rather than a speculative retreat, becomes the illumination. To unsleep is to undo is to unlearn, a chance at reversibility and a sense of mutable permanence.”

[single]

@hakunakulala

Prolific Japanese producer T5UMUT5UMU has built up a reputation in the last few years for his ability not just to recreate club styles but to flip them into almost unrecognizable dancefloor hybrids. "Sea of Trees" follows a blistering run of Bandcamp releases where T5UMUT5UMU has melted together gqom and techno, deconstructed grime and welded dubstep to traditional music from Japan and India. Here, he's operating completely off the grid, pulling raw materials from across the globe and hammering them into confounding shapes and patterns.

On its surface, 'Fireball' sounds like a liquid metal approximation of South African gqom, but move in closer and you can make out dubstep bass squelches, trap hats, and industrial techno jet propulsion filling in the gaps with rubberized mortar. 'Desert' is the EP's most lightheaded cut, a psychedelic percussive spiral that curves micro-tuned mbira clangs around bee sting bass, aerated noise blasts and sub-aqueous kicks. It's a hard track to place, but fits in somewhere between Donato Dozzy, Menzi and 33EMYBW, all shifting rhythms and precision-edited sound design.

'Sea of Trees' retains this momentum, pushing the tempo and interspersing woodblock vibrations with syncopated bass drums and goosebump-inducing synths, while closer 'Bottomless Valley' shifts back into a gqom framework, shuffling the expected pulse with a powerful dembow swing, half step subs and Indian-inspired rattles. "Asyl" is a varied but shockingly coherent statement from an enigmatic producer who refuses to confine himself to a single path, and at a time when "cross-genre" is the norm rather than the exception, it's refreshing to witness a producer who's unafraid to truly make stylistic left-turns, rather than simply mash together top-level aesthetics.

"Syra" is a perfect blend of the two producers' universes, fusing razor-sharped synthetic lines with elements of techno and dark-edged breakbeat. Following the "Materia" EP in collaboration with Circuit 900 released on our label last year and followed by an EP of remixes few months after, we're very pleased to welcome again the Norwegian producer Soldal, member of the KOSO CLUB family, alongside Tokyo-based producer T5UMUT5UMU, who been released on labels such as Knightwerk, Loveless Records and FunctionLab.

T5UMUT5UMU - Aquatopia ['TORMENT OVERDRIVE' [M.A012]

Jawa

Bantha

東京の某大学院で人類学の教授をしている桐井は、1992年4月に岩手県北部の小さな農村を訪れた。
桐井は、遠方に出張し、現地に住んでいる人達と交流をして、その土地の歴史や文化を調査するフィールドワークを好んでいた。現地に赴き、調査しなければ、その土地で醸成された生きた歴史や文化などの生の情報にはアクセスできない。文化はある種の匂いのようなものを持ち、文献やインターネットではその匂いはかき消され、無味無臭の乾いたものとなってしまう。フィールドワークは、その文化の匂いを嗅ぎにいく事が第一の目的である。桐井は、アスファルトが嫌いだった、また、都市部に人為的に残された自然が嫌いだった。湿った腐葉土を裸足で踏む感触や腐った切り株の匂いこそが、桐井にとっての自然であった。都会から離れた遠方で、桐井は都会の持つ息苦しさを忘れることができ、今回のフィールドワークでも心地良さを感じていた。
夕暮れ時、桐井は春の香りがふわりとする風の中、山道を散策した。冬の風には棘が生えているが、春になるとその棘は溶けて丸くなり、輪郭がゆったりとした風になる。村の裏に構える山道を三十分ほど登ると、まるで木々が目に見えぬ何かを恐れ、その空間を避けたようにぽっかりと円形に開けた場所に辿り着いた。円の中心には稲荷様が祀られている祠が、時を忘れたように置かれていた。すでに、辺りは暗くなり、微かな月光に包まれ、異様なほどに幽玄な祠を見た時に、桐井は反射的に畏敬の念を懐いた。数百年分の時を圧縮したかのような分厚くずっしりとした時間を宿した祠に睨まれた気がした。研ぎ澄まされた桐井の意識は、遠く山頂の方から太鼓のような低音と空気をさくような鋭い笛の音を聞き取った。人類学者としての好奇心が桐井を山頂の方へと続く獣道に向かわせた。登っている途中、空に重たい鉛の銅鑼を落としたような雷鳴が轟いたが、桐井は構わず、暗い山を進み続けた。ちょうど息が切れたところで、木々の隙間から100mほど先に血のように沸く火柱の光とそれに照らされた人間の顔のような造形をした大きな木を見た。そして、その周りで狂ったように踊る村人たちを見た。地鳴りのような太鼓と龍笛が村人たちを狂わせ、山の野生性が彼らに憑りついているようだった。ある物は猪のように四つ足を地面につけ、ある者は、逆立ちで歩いていた。まさしく異常であった。桐井の全身の毛穴から、恐怖と興奮の混じった冷や汗がぷつぷつと沸き立った。月光と火に照らされた村人の顔が桐井の方に向き、桐井と村人の目線が衝突した。

この音源は桐井が当時持っていたフィールドレコーディング用の録音機で録音した音源を、
彼の生徒であったT氏が譲り受け、サンプリング・バイノーラル加工したものである。

An iridescent hope; an imagined reality. ‘Unsleep’ is the debut collaboration between NYC’s @laenzzz & Tokyo luminary @tsumutsumu. As Laenz’s falsetto vocals dance in the reflections of crystalline club textures, the EP presents an experimental dreamscape melted from 2020’s charred blossom.

‘Ontogenesis’ is the finale - awakening us into a re-imagined reality. And into another.

“Imagine a pair of chopsticks submerged into a glass of water. They appear to be bent by refraction of light. While veritably straight, this encounter gives credence to the mental image of curved chopsticks. At times, we process this temporality into a dream state, a safeguard against a dissipating world.

The dream, rather than a speculative retreat, becomes the illumination. To unsleep is to undo is to unlearn, a chance at reversibility and a sense of mutable permanence.”

 ‘fantasma’ pulls us deeper into an altered consciousness: as concrete club rhythms bounce in the VR echo chamber.

[PREMIERE] Laenz & T5UMUT5UMU - Blue Moon [Eastern Margins]

Starting out as a space for the East and South East Asian community to come together in London, Eastern Margins has morphed from a party,  into a wider collective, label and platform for its diaspora.

Already with a strong pair of EP's out in the world, the next on their label strand sees a transatlantic collab with NYC-based, Laenz and Tokyo's T5UMUT5UMU. Together, they bring 'Unsleep' EP. 

Driven by syncopated, multi-layered percussion, 'Death Blossom' forms a beautifully haunting prance around the 8-bit dungeon. The celestial vocals of Laenz adding a blissful chill to an all-encompassing, body-pulsing arrangement.
