VARIABLE is the first compilation on Pi Electronics, which also kicks off the new catalogue PEVA. This Various artist release includes the works of several artists involved in the label till now, along with some very familiar faces to π that have been supporting the parties in the past years. The aim was to bring the main label roster - artists with original music on PI, such as JK Flesh, Ontal and Damcase - under the same roof as artists that have been with the Pi Electronics project since its early days: the label’s party residents; 3.14, Nemmett and DΛS along with other fellow Athenians; Unhuman, BMSK and the project “I am Legion, for we are many.” The outcome will be available in CD, Vinyl and Digital format, while the vinyl sampler will feature JK Flesh, Ontal, Nemmett and BMSK. 

Regardless of the different variables, equation drops back to the same constant result. Divide and Rule. Sticks over Carrots. Repent or Collapse.

Scandinavian Star "Solas" LP 
Posh Isolation 214

The story of the passenger liner MS Scandinavian Star stays adrift. Tragic and complex, the details are out there in the electronic ozone, still yet to find closure. From sea port to Ethernet port, Malthe Fischer's project navigates the themes of the narrative that unfolds to this day. His debut album 'SOLAS' makes this journey with a series of heart-wrenching affairs in crisp detail.

Appearing on Posh Isolation's recent compilation 'I Could Go Anywhere But Again I Go With You', Fischer's Scandinavian Star project here marked a long-anticipated return. Since his self-titled and widely loved cassette for Ascetic House, Fischer has been most prominent in the band Lust For Youth. His hand is also across much of Posh Isolation, having mixed and mastered a number of releases. 'SOLAS' shares some of the floaty, melodramatic electronics of Lust For Youth's most elegant moments, but it's a different flavour of heartbreak and intrigue being pushed by Fischer in his solo work.

A symphony of disembodied voices trail across 'SOLAS'. Gesturing toward longing and hope, and occasionally struggling to get out of the misty collage of stumbling rhythms, it's as if we are listening to a form of wonder being mechanized before us. The surface of Fischer's work is dense in detail, but falling for and fixating on the smallest thing often blossoms the most treasured effects. Minor acoustic instrumentation is precariously balanced against thickets of cut-up recordings and samples, the hybrid charge of the synthesizers holds everything together without letting anything recede.

As soft as 'SOLAS' feels, it stays sharp and bites at times, even through four-to-the-floor whispers. There's a memory of something communal in it all, and this is what holds on.
