Siamese Twins Records presents Temple Rat, known offstage as Mei Yuxin, and her highly anticipated debut EP, "The Composition of Air." This album signifies her first solo release with Siamese Twins, following her contribution to the Kāthā V.A. (ST-๐๐ห้า), which Higher Intelligence Agency later reworked on ST-๐๐๘. Each track gracefully transitions, creating a harmonious blend of ethereal haze yet grounded echogenic brushstrokes. Despite the otherworldly ambiance, the EP remains deeply rooted in an ancient mystique, which Mei has skillfully crafted.

Hailing from Chengdu, Mei is a master of the traditional Chinese Erhu, a two-stringed folk instrument made of wood and snakeskin. The soulful resonance of this time-honored instrument intertwines with Mei's productions and live performances.

The opening track, "Dreaming of Electric Sheep," immerses listeners in a dystopian sci-fi atmosphere, masterfully merging rustic ambiance with hissing field recordings and IDM-inspired elements. Hypnotic rhythms envelop and wash over meditative alchemy.

"Rooted in the Soil of Your Heritage" features a captivating collaboration with Portuguese vocalist Meta_, taking on a contemporary darkwave approach. This track spirals into the horizon, offering solace through interlacing oscillations, and perfectly illustrates Mei's ability to facilitate interethnic dialogue with her distinct and enthralling Erhu sound.

The true story unfolds in the title track, "The Composition of Air," as Mei expertly employs organic synths to create absorbing arpeggios and sequences.

The final piece, "东风," feels familiar and otherworldly, as drums pirouette beneath melodies that balance delicately, culminating in an intriguing and welcoming soundscape—the ideal conclusion to a captivating EP.

We’re pleased to have Montreal-based artist Priori on the remix of Stefan Vincent's “Yonghegong...”. His rework draws a further emotion by slowing the pace and bringing delicate melodies to the forefront; it’s one for introspection.

hermatypic

Ambedo - A kind of melancholic trance in which you become completely absorbed in vivid sensory details like raindrops skittering down the head of a big mushroom, tall tree folks leaning in the wind, creamy clouds of spirits swirling above your elixir —which leads to a dawning awareness of the haunting fragility of physical life, a mood whose only known cure is the ritual of the drum, the chant and the dance.

We assume absolutely zero responsibility/liability for any possible/probable/likely, damage caused by enchantments, curses, spells, or mushroom spore poisoning. Severed limbs, burned out eyes, morbid flesh wounds, incurable diseases, and further physical ailments of the like are also excluded from any liability claims. For appropriate magical insurance, contact your presiding Grand Mage or the local Druid Order.

- Recorded live at ://about blank in August 2023 -

Philipp Otterbach has been a pillar of Warning's creative development. While our friendship goes back to before the project even started, he has been shaping the sound of Warning as a resident since day one. 

He was regularly be relied upon to set the vibe at opening slots or to twist the remaining brain cells of lucky ravers at late hours. Those who are familiar with his catalogue of productions are well aware of the deepnees and multi-layered emotions he provokes as an artist. 

BUT for our last party at ://about blank we decided to unleash another side of the Otter. Surprising to some, but hypnotising the masses in the main room at peak time was something that sounded as natural as the delicate mind trips he provides on other occasions. Full throttle on the Otterbahn with a wild selection of psychedelic techno, electro and trance, he mixed a captivating two and a half hour high energy journey, which we are happy to present to you in its preserved form as the 105th Warning mix.
