We are proud to bring you the latest entry of the sprawling grime mix series, Architecture, now on cassette for the first time ever. This is two hours of straight heat & secret-club-weapony mixed by DJ Rueckert, the founder of Classical Trax, and in our humble opinion a highly essential mix for both newcomers and previous fans of the forward-thinking club collective.

The mix is out on cassette on April 30th, and if you order you'll receive mp3s of the mix on the day of release.

& of course, be sure to follow @classicaltrax & check Side A which is streaming in full on their soundcloud :)

Classical Trax - Architecture X: Side B (EXCERPT)

Taken from Mankid 2, out on August 6, 2016 digitally and on cassette via Visual Disturbances.
New York musician Sean Kelly takes a sonic leap forward with his latest unnerving, anxious work as Mankid. An enigmatic interview serves as the backbone of the record, while he presents his signature electronics and obliterating but intricate percussion on top. In 22 minutes "Mankid 2" paints a full picture composed of gloomy, borderline cavernous soundscapes and crushing, yet tasteful noise.

Artwork by Caroline Beatrice Bennett

Mixed & mastered by M. Jerome (Five Star Hotel)

Mankid - It's Not Hatred but I Can Smell It From Here

Track 1 off of yeongrak's side of 'whats up absorption & 9999999', a split by yeongrak & 97997ALMONDS available August 31st, digitally & on cassette (in two editions) via Visual Disturbances.

This is the stuff of legends -- two masters of gruesome, bodily abstraction have come together to produce this monstrous split record. On the A side, yeongrak delivers us sounds from the belly of the beast; rhythms fades in and out, and voices surround you humming and singing deceptively sweet songs while the world around you continues to be ruthlessly devoured. On the flipside, Visual Disturbances newcomer(!) 97997ALMONDS brings a unique sense of percussion and breaks layered upon samples that appear to be lost in time. These are the tracks that you'll want to be blasting when the solar system gets digested into a black hole.

OUT ON OCTOBER 10TH, CASSETTE & DIGITAL <3 

@yzome's Visual Disturbances debut, YVETTE, neatly brings the label into its fall season with a rapid-fire selection of bass-heavy, emotive and destructive tracks. YVETTE weaves in and out of so many moods and styles in its brief runtime that it can be overwhelming, but yzome masterfully arranges it to be an ultimately cohesive and addictive experience.

To celebrate the upcoming Machine Girl & Five Star Hotel North American Tour (dates TBA), we have assembled a split tape containing previously unreleased tracks by Machine Girl and Five Star Hotel. Machine Girl's side A is stripped down & raw, made up of sketches that mostly originated from their last tour. Five Star Hotel's side B flows as a moody standalone mixtape of all new material, inspired by travel & uncertain futures.

Stabscotch - Tanic

"hi. i did a remix of a few stems that stabscotch sent me, and this is the result. make sure you check out uncanny valley, it's absolutely savage (http://hyperurl.co/UncannyValley). much love. <3"

lyrics:
i'm going north for the winter
where everything
gets harder
i last longer

breathing much harder
falling for you

feeling you up
in your pickup truck
such a familiar sight
my blue haired angel

she waits
for me
only
for me

'don't you tell a soul'
oh don't you worry
i'll keep it
locked up tight
but i can't help
that i blush so much

red and blue
swimming together
it reminds
me of you
everything
everywhere that i look
reminds me of you

something gives way
promise me
you won't be mad
okay

promise me
you won't be mad
okay okay
promise me
everything's okay
okay okay okay

can't let it out
just wanna let it out
i see one.
true.
escape.
(uh, there IS something standing in my way)

i see
something standing
in the way

promise me
you won't be mad
kay
promise me you won't be mad
okay okay okay

breathing slows
the world crawls
i glance up and hope
my last sight will be you

but all i see
is drywall
and the same four walls
i always see

fuck, fuck!

promise me you won't be mad, kay?
promise me you won't be mad okay okay
kay okay

VD041 - emamouse (@emamouse2) - Build a parallax
releasing March 31 on cassette & digital 

https://visualdisturbances.bandcamp.com/album/build-a-parallax

Build a vision. Build a life. Build a train. Build an energy.

Build a city. Build an environment. Build a world. Build a universe.

Build a viscera. Build a song. Build an experience. Build a meaning.

Build a parallax. Build until the walls of creation make you invincible. Build until nothing can ever get in your way again.

Build a parallax

hi. welcome to the untitled spirit waves mixtape. it actually does have a title, but that title is "untitled", because i have a very unoriginal sense of humor. anyway, you're basically encouraged to call this album whatever you want. call it "bob", i don't care. other funny title suggestions were the thinking emoji and "good ol johnnie tomokers". it's made up of the past few months worth of songs, mostly little sonic experiments and such that i still really enjoy listening to but don't think quite make the cut for what the next major spirit waves release should be.

a lot of these songs were written impulsively after various mundane events in my life, and didn't really have time to be practiced and built upon and to mature over time like most of the stuff that ends up on my major LPs. i find a lot of beauty in their spontaneous nature, and i hope you will too. this spontaneousness has always been a key component of what spirit waves is, and i'm glad that i was able to find a good balance between improvisation and quickly written songs in the production of this rekkid.

there are so many people i want to thank, but i'm gonna refrain from listing names and just say that if you're anyone who's been in my life in the past few months as i worked on these tracks (and many others!), i love and appreciate and thank you from the bottom of my heart. to everyone who's come out to shows or listened to my music or anything really: thank you so much. thanks to the one or two haters out there, even! you're only motivation! i'm so excited for you to hear the new album whenever it's finished, and i hope this will tide y'all over for now. :)

no ETA on the new album, btw. there may end up being another mixtape or two on the road to it. i want to make sure it's something really special, worthy of sitting up there with she made me want to vanish, NO HOME, and impossible virtue. <3

thanks once again for the support, and i'll absolutely see you again later this year. :V
