Xquisite Releases is proud to present ‘a single wish’ the new album by Ladonna. @ladonnadonnadonna

the eight tracks of ‘a single wish’ seem to take me by a caressing hand and lead through scenes that constantly shift.

At once meditative and soothing, the ground never seems certain, there is a haunting evocation of memory, lost encounters, moments of introspection that echo through the music’s brooding undercurrent.

xquisite releases is ecstatic to present PARIDAIZA the new release by susu laroche. @tsvsvnami

the singular style of laroche’s sound comes to a calamitous head in PARIDAIZA, forging the basis of a sound the artist calls ‘dungeon debke’. 

the dungeon is felt, the walls and claustraphobia of emotion and darkness are eminating from each track but something is trancended and a place that could have meant torture or imprisonment becomes an escape into the beauty of ritual meditation and immanence.

the chants and calls that haunt laroche’s music recontextualise words from such sources as the ancient poet Rumi and the protest chants of the arab spring, melting the history and present of the middle east into a sonic tapestry of insurgence and spirituality that hypnotises.

laroche evokes queen tamar, first king/queen of georgia to renounce the gendering of her title. in PARIDAIZA susu takes as patron this figure of ancient rebellion.

Written, Produced, Performed and Mixed by Susu Laroche

Mixed and mastered by Stanislav Iordanov

susu laroche - Mankynde

cycle is a record about time, repetition, routine and habits.

built on the same sets of loops, drums and synths, each track was an opportunity to write something continuous and familiar but in a different manner for each piece.

this limitation has been a key to develop and craft detailed layers and sound design to give songs entitled auras and personality to further the idea of our relationship with time and habits; a love/hate story.

'cycle functions as both break and culmination in nunu’s greater body-of-work. It is a love/hate story about time and habits, and a debut album that explores the French artist’s capacity to imbue individual works with personality and aura. Having spent the past several years releasing disorientingly beautiful edit packs and collections of archival material (from 2013 to 2019), cycle also operates as a reintroduction to an artist who is at their best when transforming the personal into spectacularly original sonic formations.

cycle has also provided nunu with an opportunity to write in a continuous and familiar manner, yet with a different set of contingencies for each track. Like past nunu works, including 2016’s Mind Body Dialogue and 2018’s SCUM, cycle revels in dissonance, but also takes the time to explore minute textural egresses and rhythmic blackholes. While a clear step away from past dancefloor-intended tracks, nunu’s progression through nine “cycles” is no less physically demanding.

Built on a single set of loops, drums and synths, the album has been constructed from a set of self-imposed limitations. Yet, rather than strive for an impossible minimalism, cycle is instead full of intriguing diversions, impossibly layered textures and sequence-after-sequence of drum-and-vocal intrusions. The result hues closer to nunu’s sonic vision than any previous release, an unholy assemblage that is as much a record about method and time as it is the artist’s relationship to their own tools and body' words by Gabe Meier

@user-0000000000000000000 est une artiste basée à New York et c'est notre invitée ce mois-ci pour Le Bruit des Vagues. Elle nous a concocté ce mix très reposant de 25min où elle a asssemblé ses samples favoris à des tracks ambient. "This mix is a cross-genre exploration of life's regenerative nature."
