XLR8R+ Member Submissions: April

xenonyms is happy to present Nebulae Nursery (Part II), the awe-inspiring conclusion of Charles Taciturn’s most recent artistic endeavor.

A few words from Charles:
"The second half of this album was, again, written during quarantine. Unlike the first, though, I not only had more time to spend contemplating, but more time to devote to the album as well. The songs here I spent more time building, I think, stronger and more intricate melodies and structures.

The album itself is again one which, now as a whole, I want to exist solely on its own without context. So much of what is going on undoubtedly influences your work, but I don't believe one needs to necessarily share their contexts; and perhaps, sometimes, they should go unknown altogether."

HEYZ'D And Confused Vol. 1

‘Polyshades’ is the 12th album from Joe Bastardo’s Bastian Void moniker and his first on vinyl; culminating many years of deep interest in MS-DOS soundtracks, vintage electronica, and new age ‘Environmental Music’ of the 80s and 90s.  

With a sound palette comprised of period-specific multitimbral polysynths combined with an assortment of vintage software, ‘Polyshades’ flows from delicate washes of generative ambience to tracker-made breakbeats, making it Bastian Void’s most detailed and complex music but also his most approachable and lush.

Available on vinyl and digital at:

At Winter Hill Digital. Worcester, MA. 2022-2025

Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studio, NY

Inner space mix 5

The arena-conquering duo glide from gritty rave to skyscraping arpeggios on RA.1000, a mix many years in the making.

A new name undeniably entered the pantheon of major electronic live acts over the past decade: next to Faithless, The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers, now sit @feelmybicep.

The Belfast duo's music doesn't half reach for the stars: a melodic blend of ambient, breakbeat, trance and tech house, able to turn the biggest arenas into intimate affairs.

If anything, mainstream success, BRIT Award nominations and mammoth dance crossovers like "Glue" have only hardened Andy Ferguson and Matt McBriar's resolve to keep innovating.

Their prized blog, running for nearly as long as the RA Podcast, regularly platforms upcoming artists. And you won't find many festival headliners releasing climate change-themed records with Indigenous artists, as they did recently on Takkuuk.

RA.1000 exists in that spirit. After many polite declines, and before a year off to usher in the next era, Bicep come through at the last: from dub techno and screwface breaks to São Paulo garage, before a tide of signature synths floods the zone. Stadium-sized intimacy at its finest.
