@despina - Fire from Heat
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM105
Format: Digital
Release: October 20th, 2023

Despina was trying to write a follow-up to their 2022 record ‘Gravity Games’ on Kindergarten Records as they fell into a deep depression, during a harsh New York winter and against a backdrop of escalating legislative attacks on trans people in the USA. In the struggle to express themselves through music while maintaining their usual exuberant voice, they found a darker musical path, and ‘Fire From Heat’ is the result of exploring this path.

The title ‘Fire From Heat’ comes from the expression “heat from fire, fire from heat,” an expression that is used by the trans community in voice training and that was popularized by YouTuber Z from TransVoiceLessons. At the same time as Despina searched for their voice as a trans, non-binary person in a country continuously stripping the rights of their trans siblings, they found an alternate, musical voice through the extensive use of human and non-human voices. This dichotomy and the interplay of both voices became a conceptual thread that runs through the entire record. These voices are countered by rhythmic constraints, undulating cyclical grooves, sinister basslines, and interruptive structures that create a delicate interplay between the imagined speaker and an idealized dancer.

Sobolik - The Butt of Your Joke [ACEN061]

DIGITONICA, DEAD XICE - Umbra (29.11.2024)

Taking African gqom motifs, DEAD XICE and DIGITONICA have built on it with their own vision of the genre, starting with moderate rhythmic patterns, playing with broad soundscapes and sci-fi sound design, and ramping up to heavy, aggressive percussion parts that fill the cramped space of dark club rooms.

DIGITONICA, DEAD XICE - Umbra

The final katharsis release of 2024 is the 26-track compilation “Physical Force” featuring a wide range of affiliated artists from both the international and local Copenhagen electronic music scene. As the title hints, Physical Force delves into the visceral, bodily aspects of music, inviting its contributors to explore the theme of movement as a central element in their compositions. Each artist was encouraged to focus on rhythm, groove, energy, and the physicality of sound, which resulted in drum-heavy release from start to finish. While there is a consistent emphasis on rhythm and a bodily connection to the music, the tracks vary widely in style and sonic texture, ranging from big melodic anthems, gritty experimental techno, heavy jungle bangers, and beyond.
