Illusion Of Separation

Tresor Records is proud to announce forthcoming special editions of its entire catalogue of Drexciya and related projects. 2022 marks the 20th anniversary of the passing of James Stinson and the releases of the Transllusion and Shifted Phases albums. In recognition, the rightsholders, their families, and the label have commissioned Detroit-based contemporary artist Matthew Angelo Harrison to re-conceptualize the covers of Tresor's Drexciya-related catalogue. These editions will be released sequentially, bimonthly, starting early-September 2022. 

The series starts with Neptune's Lair, first released in 1999, with the Hydro Doorways single arriving shortly after. In November, Harnessed The Storm and Digital Tsunami are coming. In 2023 comes the release of Transllusion in February. The series is completed by the long-awaited re-release of Shifted Phases - The Cosmic Memoirs Of The Late Great Rupert J. Rosinthrope - at the end of March. 

These records, individually and as a catalogue, represent some of the most crucial moments in the Tresor label history, with the sound and mythic world of Drexciya undoubtedly inspiring generations.

Drexciya - Species Of The Pod

Voluminous Arts happily announces its third official release, a 12 track digital album and accompanying 3xLP limited 3 color vinyl edition entitled “Disco” by Gavilán Rayna Russom’s elusive alias Black Meteoric Star. 

This is not a Disco record. The title deliberately troubles the music biz’s incessant tendency to hierarchize genre classification over the experience of listening. If you must categorize these mutant sounds think of them as a proposed alternate score for those long, caffeinated sessions in Abby Sciuto’s forensics lab, the soundtrack to a heavy workout in the Westchester Danger Room or perhaps the musical accompaniment to deep body investigations of your own ancestral memories. 

What this record really is, and why it’s called “Disco” has to do with the layering of time and life energy present in the spaces where we have traditionally danced to music which are sometimes called Discos. From the pounding urgency of “Muscle Machine” through the unbridled night vision romp that is “Fluid Feline Forms” and the shimmering investigations of “Whispers Between Worlds” to the extended lazer pointer focus of “I’m Unmelting” this record lays out a broad slab of practice-based research into the ghosts we connect with on the dance floor. Whether it be through partying in former industrial buildings, contested spaces of labor built on lands violently appropriated from indigenous people, uncomfortably inhabiting vacuums in queerness left by the AIDS epidemic, lifting lineages through sampling, or the relentless cycle of whitening that accompanies dance music’s march into the market, our experiences in the Disco have been permeated by the spectral and the haunted. Through rhythm and frequency, organized over time, this music blurs the veil between the living and the dead inviting those who move to it to connect with experiences beyond that false binary. 

What you have here is another fantastic Black Meteoric Star record, as always made without multitracking or overdubbing, recorded directly from single live takes. It is is utterly consistent with all that name has come to mean, but on “Disco” Black Meteoric Star’s vision has been allowed to expand into an almost mythologically epic space. Ancestral time works differently. Settle in and absorb the frequencies. As the closing track suggests, the virtual Disco these sounds evoke is for “Freaks Only”.

DT PREMIERE: Parallel Planet - M3 [Maturre] (2023)

After a long illness,  Midnight Totem, a Rennes-based artist, started producing electronic music at the end of 2020. Inspired by Aphex Twin, Extrawelt, Muslimgauze or Alva Noto, she delivers their 3rd release, "Race to Live", for Tripalium Corp : a cassette album made of dark and immersive atmospheres, but also naive melodies. Somewhere between ambient, low-fi techno, trip-hop and electronica, these 9 tracks are about her urgency to live after a painfull childhood and a long illness, and how music saved her. She describes her dreamlike and unknown spaces in which she feels safe. She's the little girl who wanted to go back to space...

Midnight Totem - Interstellar [Disturbed Mutant Series 049]

The clock hands crawled slowly around the face; time felt as though it were moving at a snails pace. The wait had been excruciatingly long, with little to do to keep themselves entertained exacerbated by a looming feeling that something could happen at any moment meant they were left on the edges of their seat at all times. Sleep was not an option - they downed coffee as if it were water, widened their eyes as if in a constant state of surprise, pinched themselves when their heads began to loll: they couldn't risk missing the main event.

Dalmata Daniel's split series has so far welcomed the likes of Intergalactic Gary, Pasiphae, Olivia and Rapha to take a side of wax each. For their seventh they've got returning artist Roberto Auser on board alongside Cestrian, the alias of Margate-based producer and DJ Ali Renault. As always the Budapest label have perfectly curated these musical partners, this time giving them a platform to explore eerie EBM, industrial-leaning electronics and raw, machine-driven electro.

Paula said: there are words they tried to print, there are thoughts they tried to speak, there are pictures you cannot show, photos you cannot snap and lyrics that you cannot sing.

TL PREMIERE : Zobol - Saturation Diving [Who Is Paula]

Xamiga - Kermits Day Out

The main thing is to believe in yourself and become helpless, like children. Because weakness is great, and strength is negligible. When a person is born, he is weak and flexible, and when he dies, he is strong and callous. When a tree grows, it is gentle and flexible, and when it is dry and hard, it dies. Callousness and strength are the companions of death. Weakness and flexibility - express the freshness of being. Therefore, what is hardened couldn't win.
Montreal's ISLA presents 'AE' - two 12"s of rhythmic hypnosis from the eXquisite CORpsE related project, XqST (Robbert Heijnen and Debbie Jones). AE logic symbols that stand for "For All" and "There Exists" is a deep and meditative journey moving further into the more abstract territories that Robbert and Debbie previously explored with eXquisite CORpsE.
Most of the material on the record is selected from improvisations Robbert and Debbie recorded in their home studio in Vancouver, BC during 2003, except for "SDLY" which was recorded in the Netherlands in 1996.
