Worst Records Showcase on Radio 8000

Podcasts / Sets

scary night holy night

@ultralowvelocity is a new project formed by French DJs and producers @antoinnnnnnnne and @a_strange_wedding. Revelling in slow-burning and intensely psychedelic rhythms and atmospheres, the duo’s distinctive, shamanistic sound evokes the sensation of time being warped, whilst embracing sudden changes of sounds and feelings, from dynamic to vapourous. 

As individual artists, the two have made their impact on both the French and European stage thanks to creative output on labels such as @worst_rec and @krakzh, as well as their involvement in Saint Etienne’s @positiveeducationfest.
Kicking off their Ultra Low Velocity project in early 2021 with an EP release on Krakzh, the duo have since had a busy post-lockdown period, taking the stage at festivals and parties across France, including at the Visions and Atom Festivals, a Krakzh label night in Rennes, and soon, the upcoming fifth edition of the Positive Education Festival.

For Patterns of Perception 87, Ultra Low Velocity have shared a snapshot of their arresting current hybrid set. Although each of their performances is unique, this recording is a perfect summation of the carefully sculpted, uniquely energetic and kaleidoscopic nature of their sound. Building from a trippy, experimental-leaning start, this set moves confidently through genres, moods and time signatures, reaching its crescendo with free-wheeling, euphoric abandon.

Useless Seconds - Antoine [23.03.23]

Fresh from the beautiful collaborative fusion of his and Ulf Eriksson’s unique, boundary-blurring, moment-in-time ‘The Dance’, Sebastian Mullaert returns with another future-focused dispatch from his secretive soundlab tucked away deep in the Swedish forests. 

An eight minute freeform jazz-minded jam that owes just as much to Bugge as it does the Belleville Three, ‘You’re An Orchestra In The Cosmos’ is a luxurious, lolloping groove peppered with cosmic improvisation and a faraway star-gazing spoken word. It’s also a discussion on the chaos of shared perception and the paradox of cosmic harmony. Sebastian explains it best…
“The cosmos guides us all. It moves us, beyond time and age, it belongs to us. We are the cosmos.

“We each look at the same molecules in an object, the same physical features on a person, the same stars in a constellation, but each of us sees these differently, each of us has a different experience. It is this experience that we need to give time to, listen to, and understand. It’s only then that we can become an instrument in the orchestra of the cosmos.

“The cosmos is the greatest paradox of life. It guides us - some would say it even conducts us, but without us it does not exist. It is in this silent desolation that we, a cacophony of individuals, create the harmony of existence through our connected individual interpretations of every atom, being and thing.”

As with every project that has preceded this and the ones that will succeed it, Sebastian has invested every atom of his soul and thought into the original and his three different versions: his lean and trippy Blinkarp dub, the softer focus Rhodes version and the spacious dub hypnosis of his Wa Wu We remix. Label boss Joris Voorn has also offered his own interpretation of Mullaert’s musical molecules: strapping us tightly into his euphoric rocket, he provides a deep trip into peaktime nebular. 

However you perceive it, however you let the cosmos guide you, you are the orchestra and right now Mullaert plays the consummate conductor. As he says himself, give this time, listen to it, understand it, experience it…

"Pushing the borders to the core, in between cosmic trance, hollow ambient and industrial reminiscences, everything tends to an unholly horizon, drown in myst, lightened by the fuel of late-day parties, a recipe rarely seen before for hardcore dreamers of all around the void."

Antoine (@antoinnnnnnnne) might be discreet, but he's one of the fiercest contributors in France's electronic musical scene. Co-head of the infamous Positive Education Festival (@positiveeducationfest) in Saint-Etienne and Worst Records (@worst_rec), relentless believer in possible alt-futures in his kind, he also provides an uncompromised vision of things throughout his own production.

Worst Records is born during an obscure weekend in Italy a few years ago. Long-awaited, time to mature ideas with the hope of endless tomorrows.
