If some bands are created for the fame and p*ssy, Exildiscount’s motivation behind their side project is to indulge their penchant for the absurd. They thought to themselves: there simply has to be a band named Glied (“member”). Any hints towards fragile masculinity or male fragility conveyed by the uncomfortable sounding term are of course purely incidental.

With Glied, Exildiscount opted only to use hardware synths and drum machines, removing the process of composition from the computer. Not to pander to nerdy elitism and gear hype, but so as to explore how conscious boundaries can spark creativity. The result is an unclean sort of “kraut disco” which mixes repetitive sequences of a psychedelic bent with melancholy EBM vibes.

The two-track EP “Gone Viral” is the second release out of Exildiscount’s Unboxing Shadows label. “Svp3rm4nspr34d3r” (supermanspreader), the opener, delivers hypnotic warmth interspersed with modulations of noisy, aggressive elements. Meanwhile, the captivating bass lines and rhythm loops of “Careful with that .exe Eugene” make the second track more at home on the dancefloor.

note: another shitty live phone recording

She's sweet. Petite. A tasty treat.
She screams scenes out in her sleep.
And, often, they repeat. 

'I can't take it anymore!
Get off me! Let me off this floor!
Untie me! Open up that door!
Set me free! Give me back control!' 

Weep with me,
for she has seen and been
through some sheeeit.
She's strong, not weak.

Soundscape Attempt: Drawing inspiration from a dream of a hand stretching to its limits in a bid to reach the unreachable, only to grow increasingly weak. Ultimately, the hand closes to recuperate its strength.

UNBOXING SHADOWS was founded by DJ and artist Exildiscount in Berlin in 2021. Opening the black box of normativity, UNBOXING SHADOWS serves as a safe space in which music can be literally queer – challenging the norm in genre as much as in lived experience. UNBOXING SHADOWS brings all that is obscure and subversive into the light of the dance floor.
