‘Religious Equipment' drills deep into the gritty depths of industrial techno and noise, pulling no punches with a set of tracks named after opiate blockers or substitute drugs like Methadone and Subutex, which serve as sonic stand-ins for suppressed urges, blurring the line between resistance and surrender. Fresh from his live assault at Berlin’s Atonal Festival, Richie Culver’s debut full-length album under his Quiet Husband alias draws on the brutal, repetitive rhythms of techno, while spoken word passages — including one featuring his mother — cut through the chaos with a deeply personal narrative. From the gates of hell to the empty solace of noise, ‘Religious Equipment’ paints a harrowing portrait of addiction and substitution, where noise becomes a proxy for silence, and intensity replaces numbness.

Accompanying the release is a text by curators Charles Teyssou and Pierre-Alexandre Mateos, which reads as an art piece in itself, mirroring the tracks' exploration of coping mechanisms through fragmented moments of self-reflection, despair, fleeting euphoria, and the endless substitution of one void for another.

False Progress is a fast paced, foreboding track, a slurry of mangled voices and synthetic drums pulsing forward in continuous anticipation. The track is an excerpt from Skarv's album Polymer Veil, to be released October 25th on Rhizome.

MIRA新伝統 - Thirteen nodes

hybristophilia - noun - sexual interest in and attraction to those who commit crimes. In some cases, this may be directed toward people in prison for various types of criminal activities

as a young girl i was taught to fear criminals.. at all levels.. murderers, theives, weed smokers, etc
we are taught by society that they should be avoided and never be trusted.
as ive grown older and as time has gone on ive learn to shed this way of thinking and am now at the point where... I've reached....
infatuation.
what if society was wrong about criminals? what if they can be trusted? what if they can have hearts? what if they can love hard?
what if crimials are the most worthy of trust, the few people in this world that are so deeply honest with their feelings, with their life that they would go against the law, suffer any conscequence to follow themselves into their own life, whatever that may mean to them

i explore all of these themes on this ep. thank you for listening. 💌

to celebrate the release of my ep i will be streaming a deluxe mix on @particlefm. ive had my heart broken so many times so i decided to make a mix for all the broken hearted girls. tune in tonight @ 8p to celebrate hybristophilia with me.

Maja Ratkje - Crepuscular Hour part 1

Holotype Editions was founded as a means of bringing out music by some of the most unique and peculiar artists of the last decades. What could be more fitting for the imprint’s seventh release, than the duo of cult artist Ghédalia Tazartès and multi-instrumentalist, composer and singer Maya Dunietz.
Recorded live at Cafe Oto, in December 2013, Schulevy Maker documents the duo’s first live appearance. An amalgam of bizarre samples, concrete sounds, live piano and bells, juxtaposed with the otherworldly voices of Dunietz and Tazartès. At times light and humorous, at others dark and ritualistic, Schulevy Maker can hardly be labeled or tagged. The album title refers to Shoemaker-Levy 9, a disrupted comet that collided with Jupiter in July 1994. Tazartès and Dunietz freely reassembled the syllables of the comet’s name, coming up with this obscure title.
A truly life-affirming record, by two artists defying categorization, Schulevy Maker comes in a limited edition of 300 copies, pressed on black vinyl with a beautiful cover designed by We Are Still Bold and Beautiful.
