It's just so very good. The bit about the pen slays me.

Holy god, man. This shit is brilliant. I'm still saying that this Rumi ca. 2013. You know what you're doing. You and your man Brady. I love what you made, guys. I love it.

Synths that sound human: @monophonikmusic's rowdy rave music channels the uncertainty of life

"I really wanted to bring some light to some underrepresented producers. Living in India and being part of this ever growing community of electronic musicians and producers, I know that it can be quite a challenge to get your music out to right ears on a more global level - and when I was asked to do a Mixmag Impact mix, I wanted to take this opportunity to represent and shine light some of the incredible talent and works that exist in this part of the world. So the idea for this mix was to include sounds from the Indian subcontinent, featuring up and coming artists, producers and record labels from New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore & beyond."

There are few people who have had as much of an impact on contemporary electronic music as Karin Dreijer, whether with their brother Olof in The Knife or with their solo project, Fever Ray. From massive indie-pop hits to paradigm-shifting dance records, Dreijer's work takes a psychedelic, plasticine approach to synth pop, with their trademark pitch-shifted vocals and psuedo-tropical beats. As Fever Ray, they've tapped into the global club music underground, working with producers like Nídia, Paula Temple, Deena Abdelwahed, Vessel and, on new album Radical Romantics—one of our favourite albums of the year so far at RA, hands down—even Nine Inch Nails.

Other important collaborators in Dreijer's world are Peder Mannerfelt and Pär Grindvik, the Swedish techno producers who have been working with Fever Ray since the first album back in 2009. They co-mixed this RA Podcast. The mix is a survey of Dreijer's favourite dance music, some of which informs their one-of-a-kind sound world as Fever Ray. There's plenty of music from the groundbreaking East African scene centered around Nyege Nyege Tapes, plus DJ Haram, Equinkoxx, Tayhana and more, and even two exclusive, upcoming Fever Ray remixes from Avalon Emerson and Nifra. It's a rare look into the musical tastes of a true visionary.

Additional Credits:

Lyrics:

Verse One (Fragmentation): 

Mutterin' through gutters n'
Stutterin’, thoughts utterin'
Speakin but sputterin', man I
Miss my brother n'
Nostalgic about
How it
Houses
Memories
Stem from me
Mentally 
Meant to be
Sentimentally 
Sent to me
My pen vents to me
Born in the wrong century
Midnight in Paris
Picasso befriended me
Not so, spirits enter me
A séance
Stay on
The beat plays on
For days on
I keep writin’
Hand hurtin'
Keep fightin'
A man searchin'
For enlightenment
Ignitin'
Anguish of language 
The pain contained in 
The deep, but spoke in layman's
Tongue is an island, a raft in the Cayman's
Ancient ash on the walls of caveman
Scrolls unfurled in the halls of Asians
Arranged and placed in the bass in my basement
Pen is my friend
The pen is my enemy
Depend on the pen
But the pen pretends to be
A friend, potentially
But the pen extends from me
I'm weak, it's weak
The pen depends on me

Chorus:

Babblin' 
In Babylon
In Babylon
I'm babblin' 

In Babel when
The towers went
Unravelin', so babble-on

In this modern day Babylon

Save me from this Babylon (x2) 

Verse Two (Clarity):  

Another day, another rap verse
30 years, no hits, man, that hurts
Wanna commune
But write abstract shit
Outta tune, don't fit in with this rap shit
Everything I package
Looks awful in pla-stic
Maybe I should quit, and that's it
Alone in my room
I zone to the tunes
Feed my mind
Ears the spoon
It's critical
I'm so critical
Nothin' good enough
In this ritual
Helen Keller 
In a cella
Want to sing like Ella
Stevie, Nina 
Cuz that's the arena
I've seen a…
Lot in my lifetime 
Work hard, wake up the right mind
To wake up the right minds
To make up the right time
To make my light shine
And create my mic time
I'll take a lifeline
Just getting started
Live life til' I depart it
You know my heart is
An artist, and marches
To its beat, so give me a beat
Until my hearts gives

Babble-on

lyrics:

look at the sun with your eyes closed
then watch it glow just like a ghost
and does it scare you what you don't know
and are you like the people you know

even though it's everywhere you go

how do you sleep all by yourself
does your heart beat up/on the shelf
and are you worried, do you pray for peace
or is the money all you need

even though it's everywhere you go

even though it's everywhere
