[FL014] FunctionLab CNY greeting release - GG Lobster - 動亂星 Stars of Turmoil EP

"Everything I do comes from romance, if I can't be romantic, then I won't make music anymore. "GG summarized in a post when "Punk Karaoke" was released.

Throughout the entire "動亂星 Stars of Turmoil EP", the Gabber / Hardcore influence cannot be erased, but this is already the result of GG's efforts to suppress this influence to the minimum. The sensory stimuli pursued at the DJ set were not all brought into his personal release. "動亂星 Stars of Turmoil EP" is concerned with what is happening now, not the cyberpunk ideas, the fantasy of the stars and the sea, nor is it a thing of the past.

Each track has a clear expression goal: "榮耀 Glory" uses a lofty melody to tells about GG's love for certain people and things, not only for the ambition he is putting into practice, but also for those who work as hard as he but People who have not yet made a name for themselves; "犬子來拜 Adoration of Sons" expresses his dissatisfaction with the current situation around him and unilateral provocations against some rogues in a restless voice; "動亂星 Stars of Turmoil" uses a lot of rhythmic patterns of traditional Chinese lion dance, and his emotional foundation is built on Encourage the FunctionLab team and the entire Hangzhou music scene; "香港 Sweet Harbour" focuses on the expectation of love between person to person, with the characterization of delicate melody as the lead.

"My temper is still very strong, but now I feel that fighting with music is a more effective and smarter way." GG sees this EP as a successful self-positioning rescue and a safer emotional release. If you want to make a distinction between his musical career, maybe style and technology are not the most important boundaries, and the change of mindset is the real watershed. Although in music, he has reconciled with it, but in his life, the rebellious attitude could not be changed. Don't roar lyrics is only a partial concession, and the music still carries his sharp opinions, those passionate opinions.

"Let those assholes hear the aggressiveness in my heart and the ambition of FunctionLab and I, and let those who are smug and arrogant about their small achievements hear, there must be a winner or loser one day. "In addition, more is unruly and open love. This is the fate of GG Lobster, and it's what he is. Those extravagant lyrics that don't care are now internalized in his heart, leading him and guiding him.

"I hope you can hug your companions after listening, especially those who are still with you while doing things like moth fluttering fire with you." This is the most sincere, the most meaningful suggestions from GG Lobster about this EP.

GG Lobster - 香港 Sweet Harbour (Zean 群龍無‘手’ Remix)

'Forests Of Steel' is the first single from APEAK's upcoming EP Empyrean.

‘Empyrean’ is an exploration of celestial and terrestrial motions through stoic juxtaposing landscapes. Incorporeal voices glide through impenetrable metallic forestation, where only the dancer is present in a dissident state of mind. A monochrome neon glow phosphorescing through the night air, calling for disarray.

After coming into his own on ‘Grey Skies’, APEAK doubles down on the functionality of his sonic experiments while his signature glassy electronics writhe through the dense percussion.

To be released 14th August via Changeless.

Antipodes (Mang Remix)

"If you had to live your life over and over again for eternity, how would you live it? What does making choices mean? The contingencies of a life unravel my senses."

Throughout the course of 10 tracks of ‘Wiederkunft Eternal LP‘, the debut album by German producer thirdworldlabour, a digitally cold climate dominates throughout while a specific kind of affectivity is captured in each track. The sound design ranges from emotionally brutal (within) and uncanny (diminished spirits) to blissfully divine (a seamless float to another dome). An emphasis of using chopped vocal samples together with choir-like ambience often creates an ethereal atmosphere which subsequently is shattered by seemingly primitive and at times overtly mechanistic drum programming. Repeatedly Cryogenic synth melodies are paired with unwavering percussion that evoke connotations of fully automated, industrial production processes (many fathers/ancestral transition). Whereas in other parts, steady vocal arpeggios prevail in a textural landscape which seems to dissolve itself into non-physicality (disintegration II).
Reflected in the works title, the album draws upon the concept of the 'Eternal Return' which has its origins in non-western philosophy. The concept relates to the notion of pre-determinism and assumes that time and space are infinite progresses in which the individual is living their life over and over again in a never ending recurrent cycle.
Wiederkunft Eternal examines said concept within the expressive potential of sound and specifically tries to investigate the relationship between hope and despair as central themes in human experience.

THIRDWORLDLABOUR - MANY FATHERS

++ CLMxGUN 2020 RE-PACK ++

Goodbye 2020. While we truly hope the year to come will be much more forgiving to all, some odd times are still ahead of us, and we need your help to get through them to keep us afloat.

In this time of celebration and end-of-the-year wrap-ups, we wanted to thank you all for your support with a modest gift to round off the end of this rough year. We have brought together in a single pack all our releases and projects of 2020, which you can freely download at the link below. 

The re-pack also includes 26 bonus tracks from our GUN community. Among the participants, you can find some old heads and more recent newcomers, who were incredibly kind to offer you little treats for your ears - a mix of forthcoming material, unreleased edits and still-in-progress demos. Thanks a lot to /pulsr_, 1.5L, 116111, Cosmic Caz, Cralias, GRIG, HeedLess, indigoblue, Lithe, LMN3, M. Tounu, migu, NEW FEAR, nvisible.studio, RareFlora, Rougehotel, S x m b r a, Sha Sha Kimbo, silént phil, SNKLS, Tobey & yaka for their dedication and trust.

It will soon be a year since the music has slowed down due to the COVID crisis. For months, we kept holding the bar, without wavering, with the few financial resources available, but above all thanks to the incredible collective strength the CLMxGUN project has been bringing for several years now. Like many artists and collectives around the world, our financial equilibrium was based on a fine balance between the different projects we released and the events that we loved to organize. The impossibility to promote events since March has had a profound impact on our incomes, and our ability to sustain our activity in a qualitative way.
 
This 2020 RE-PACK is also an opportunity for us to call for donations. We appeal to your kindness, to your support, to you who have been following us for a long time, or recently, who have loved our project, our events, or the concept of collective and open-source music label that we have been trying to develop. With the CLMxGUN project, we intend to foster a spirit of mutual aid and sharing, which happens among the GUN community and through the various projects we run, but which is equally important to develop with our audience and our supporters. 

Your financial support, however small, is crucial to our activity. A major rework of the CLMxGUN organization has been in preparation for a few months, and 2021 will see a new version of GUN, that hopefully will lead to exciting new projects pushing further its collaborative practices, as well as the type of projects we are able to propose to the public.

Proposing high-quality and experimental audiovisual material to the larger number is part of our core values, and that is why we always try to keep our releases and projects freely accessible as much as possible. We want to deeply thank everyone who has supported us in the past, but unfortunately we’re reaching a point where more help is needed if we want to keep going without having to make concessions, and to evolve towards a better model for our participating artists - who already contribute on a voluntary basis, as most of our benefits are used for common resources and infrastructures.

We hope that with your support, we will be able to keep bringing to you moments of escape and relief, which are much needed to navigate these troubling times.

Let’s hope we can celebrate and dance together soon. In the meantime, take care of yourself and those you love.

CLM
🕊
