Crypt Of The Wizard 291222

Live at Arkaoda Berlin 22.06.23

The second compilation instalment limited to 100 hand-numbered copies.

Plebeian NYC-based Andrew Nerviano sheds another absurdly intricate full spectrum creeper, weaving network patterns and (a)tonal stabs into a composite romance. 

Corell a designation of Roman Kutnov, instigator in the new wave of ambient pathfinders, showcases his distinctive take on utopian texture hiss underpinned by rhizomatic composition structures. 

Gaul Plus previously Dear Leader of Broken Call & Fifth Wall records presents a slab of hollowed out nybrutalist breakbeat in the Junta Rave heritage. 

Undveld aka Hyggia - rising up from Lithuania’s sombre underbelly, co-running Static Motion, here patching together nebulous shades of techno into a frequency haze.

Mastered by Kassian Troyer at Dubplates & Mastering

Let your hair down with Akimat.

Following a live PA from Third Space and introspective DJ sets from Slowfoam, Conna Haraway and Lou Drago respectively - Akimat entered at the penultimate end of the evening. 

Helping release some tension from the sets previous, and allowing everyone the space to grab a drink before settling back into the later stages of the night, Akimat ends it so well with Pub's seminal classic: "Summer".

Archetype - The Ick
Vinyl/Streaming/Digital
- 27.03.24 -

The Ick — a sense of sanity amidst the storm of information. This album by Archetype is an abstract scream for something quite fragile — a polarizing society, disruptive isolation, and the fading collective experience. Utilizing dramatic vocals, industrial trip-hop, and post-punk-leaning electronics, Archetype marks the new moniker by the ever-versatile Viennese Rotterdammer, Leonard Prochazka. Following his manifold of concept-driven, instinctive musical output, Archetype's "The Ick" releases in 2024, following "Strapazen und Genesung" as Geier Aus Stahl on Knekelhuis in 2022.

Sasha, aka ssscreep about his recording:
"This live is a collection of my winter-spring compositions. The general palette of this recording can be characterized as shadowy compositions of a heavier spectrum. Such emotions were experienced then, and they found their way out through sound waves. The sound is focused on bass and vocal experiments, astringent textures and field recordings, the environment and the inner, a lot of inner. A noise dance of the inner world on an ordinary everyday stage.
My compositions are always about the liberation of emotions; after recording, this tension has been gone and freed. I hope everyone will also be able to find in this work the points of the liberation of their emotions!"

Sasha, aka ssscreep, is a musician and DJ from Chernihiv, Ukraine, currently based in Warsaw. He navigates the realms of punk and experimental music with profound "metal" roots, deeply immersed in avant-garde atmospheres. In his performances, he utilizes field recordings of his surroundings, thereby altering the moment's perception under the intense pressure of vibrations. Raw, unfiltered sound evokes a kaleidoscope of emotions, weaving a tapestry of genuine authenticity.
As a member of the SUMISH collective and the host of the evocative show "Wheat and Blue Sky" on radio Gasoline - he constantly explores the culture and horizons of sound.

Саша ака ssscreep про свіій запис:
"Цей лайв збірка моїх зимово-весняних композицій, загальну палітру якого можна охарактеризувати як тіньова,композиції важчого спектру. Такі емоції тоді переживалися і знайшли вихід вони в такій формі звукової хвилі. Звучання зосереджене на басу та вокальних експериментах, в'яжучих текстурах та польових записах , оточення та внутрішнє, багато внутрішнього. Шумовий танець внутрішнього світу на буденній сцені.
Мої композиції це завжди про вивільнення емоцій, після запису це напруга відійшла і вивільнилась, надіюсь кожному також вдасться знайти в цій роботі точки виходи своїх емоцій! кричачи та танцюючи."

Саша ака ssscreep - музикант і діджей родом з Чернігова, Україна, наразі мешкає у Варшаві. Він мандрує в царині панку та експериментальної музики з глибокими "металевими" коріннями, глибоко занурений в авангардні атмосфери. У своїх виступах він використовує польові записи свого навколишнього середовища, тим самим змінюючи сприйняття моменту під інтенсивним тиском вібрацій. Сирий і нефільтрований звук викликає калейдоскоп емоцій, виплітаючи гобелен справжньої автентичності.
Як учасник колективу SUMISH та ведучий епатажного шоу "Wheat and Blue Sky" на радіо Gasoline - він постійно досліджує культуру та горизонти звуку.

The Awk Cast is going into it's 60th lap and we're stoked to have Berlin-based selector @mirimalek on the steering wheel.

In this formidable 1h excursion into her densely textured world of bass heavy sounds, the Iranian-Scottish DJ invites us on a slowish, yet groovy ride as percussive elements meet sassy, syncopated grooves.

We hope you enjoy this entrancing journey as much as we do!
