Teach me how to make suttin of it
I know I ain’t supposed to Covet
But I want it yeah I want it
Steel in my teeth feel the grief when I vomit
Struggle in the night got me staring at the stucko
And the dance of my mind chest tight like uh oh uh oh
I think I'm feeling good tho
Lick a bruised lip taste the hate on my cologne
Colon double backslash
I'm looking at a junkie turn his body into ash
You can pass the pipe carve my name on that glass
Thought we were tryna leave that in the past
Krass
But understood
Hope were good
Still spark the bud
Living on fine lines and cold wood hard to budge
Got me Feeling like the five of cups

Easier to trust when I know I'm in love
Easier to crush if u know he got the bug
Easier to push if I'm gassed off the touch
I just play my part

U need to lean on me and I can't be that
Need to run these scenes and I can't be that
Can't repeat the past so I can't be that.
Like a drug I just played my part where's the love in that man

Teach me how to lie
To my brother my slime
I don't mind
Show me how to make u mine
Can you kiss me right now
Or u just playing the sidelines
Break me down
Ur man's at home wow they sound so sublime

Livin that choked cough echo the thin wall reality
Broke down decor that don't match the salary
Take a stab at me calamity for free
Who am I to stop man just tryna eat
Fantastic feat to thrive these days
Slammin thru weekends more time these days
Can’t stay who lives here whose ways feel strange
Wanna place blame but you’re caught in a plague

Teach me how to lie
To my brother my slime
I don't mind
Show me how to make u mine
Can you kiss me right now
Or u just playing the sidelines
Break me down
Ur man's at home wow they sound so sublime

I cant be that, soz (prod. Ship Sket)

Liliane Chlela - Anatomy Of A Jerk
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM112
Format: Digital
Release Date: July 5th, 2024
Artwork by Richard Kahwagi
Mastered by Fausto Mercier

Tracklist:

1. Bison
2. bza2
3. Friendly Fire
4. Ouverture
5. Rave Melancho
6. Third Fraud
7. Did I Stutter
8. The Right To Offend Itself

Liliane Chlela’s ‘Anatomy of A Jerk’ reflects on sonic storytelling, experimenting with the compositional frameworks under which it operates. The Beirut-born producer, dj and performer stands at the forefront of the independent electronic music scene in Lebanon, with a reputation for shattering expectations with her live auditory soundscapes, exploring improvisation and the manipulation of sounds from wide-ranging musical genres. Her fifth record (and first on Infinite Machine) steers further into such territory, warping manic synth patterns into percussive motifs, cutting abruptly in and out of poignant melodic interludes. Chlela’s sonic narratives begin, repeat, break apart, disappear and fold into themselves, encouraging contemplation of the compositional elements–the anatomies–that constitute them.

Each track is a meticulous excursion–a melange of varied constituents carefully and uncannily arranged, sometimes coalescing, often deliberately breaking away from the song’s anticipated structure to bring forth unexpected moments of beauty. The first arrangement, ‘Bison’, is exemplary of this, where high intensity metallic stomps, clangs and stabs form a rhythm that is frequently interrupted and broken apart, sometimes by evasive melodies that tease the listener before fading.

‘Bza2’ and ‘Friendly Fire’ move further into the discomfort of unanticipated moments and interruptions. In each, haunting strings and synth-pad melodies start and stop, floating and pausing over jitters and stutters of mechanical percussion. Other tracks move further into the atmospheric, creating dramatic, theatrical soundscapes. ‘Third Fraud’ leans into this approach, where string progressions and cinematic drums tell a story that is less affronting.

Like previous works of Chlela, these eight compositions reach into a difficult space that is only rewarded with careful attention, patience and openness. The arrangements are invigorated by the distinct nature of the compositional fragments; seemingly divergent patches, sounds and rhythms are paired across an eccentric timeline, providing ample opportunities for listeners to relish in the sudden jerk of the unforeseen.

Only Now & Sueuga - Cold Front
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM111
Format: Digital
Release Date: July 26th,2024

Bay Area raised Sueuga (Manolis Elijah Sueuga) + Only Now (Kush Arora) deliver metallic dancehall shelling on "Cold Front". Hollowed out soundsystem blasts pepper this 2 track outing, fit for San Francisco's pronounced dystopian locale.

The title track splices electrical discharges with robotic tabla bashment, eventually folding in on itself with pressure.

"Blood Freeze" lays out an icy riddim machinating into widescreen shockout, with crunching bursts and shutters flying on all sides. Throughout both tracks, Sueuga and Arora's heritage can be felt through the groove and instrumentation, reimagining sounds of the artists’ homelands.

Born of a friendship formed years ago, “Cold Front” is the duo’s first original collaborative effort. Since Only Now remixed a track of Sueuga's in 2021, the two have maintained a close relationship as Sueuga studied Art History and moved to Amsterdam, whilst Arora stayed in Berkeley.

1. Indignado
2. Ajicito
3. Diclofenaco
4. Cruces
5. Cascada

12. Caverna

Ecuadorian producer Daniel Gachet “Entrañas” presents his debut full album Caverna on Infinite Machine. The project explores an amalgam of polyrhythms found in traditional Ecuadorian music such as bomba and albazo, blending them with jagged atmospheres of uk bass and grime. Through deliberate sound design, Entrañas seeks to place the listener within the unpredictable ecosystem of the city of Quito and its surroundings.

In this record Entrañas searches for a sound that conveys both the infrastructural chaos he experiences currently in his home city, while also reflecting the hauntingly beautiful and seemingly perpetual terrain just outside of Quito. Not far from the frequent and unpredictable power outages and city wide lockdowns which are now commonplace due to the ongoing narco wars, there is an Andean stratovolcano visible from many parts of Quito, including Entrañas own bedroom window. Ruco Pichincha stands nearly 5000m in height, attracting awe and curiosity of many who happen upon it, perhaps by way of its beauty as well as its innate potential for mass destruction. A particular location of interest for the artist, the mountain emits a kind of objectivity that is distinct from the urbanscape of human activity; it asserts itself, unobservant of the adjacent violence, trials and tribulations. Its very name–“Ruco” translated in English to "old" from the indigenous Quechua language–seems to reflect both its acquired reverence from native inhabitants of the region, as well as the relative incomprehensibility of such natural monuments.

On Caverna, references to Quito and its encompassing geography are apparent in ways that are direct at times, nuanced at others. “Toque de Queda” (trans. “lockdown”) was produced in real time during a city wide lockdown in which Entrañas and his collaborator Ene Ese were unable to leave an apartment for hours on end. The sheer apprehension of such a situation can perhaps be gleaned from the seething claps and non-melodic droning atmospheres that build, producing a tone of frustration and unease. Tracks like “Coscacho”, “Muerto A Puntapiés” and “Cruces” seem to take on a similarly minimal approach, focused on brooding heavy bass lines and relentless polyrhythms that become increasingly menacing as the tracks build. A listener might imagine these compositions to conjure the rumbling subterranean activity of Ruco Pichincha. As their names might imply, “Caverna” and “Cascada” take a different approach, building up shimmering soundscapes reminiscent of 90s new age. These ephemeral sequences seem to summon meditation on natural landscapes in a way that feels lighter and more optimistic, unveiling a softer vision.

In light of his prolific catalog, Entraña’s twelve-track work reaches into territory that feels both more personal and experimental–though these compositions are undoubtedly dance-floor ready. Caverna brings together anthems of leftfield club music with chambers of ambient reflection–both of which read as significant and distinct to the artist’s background and day-to-day experience in Quito. As the majestic and humbling mountainous surface of Ruco Pichincha might resemble, Caverna’s title track ends the record with a reminder; a gentle nod to the significance of such sacred wonders as places of refuge in our human experience; whether we can grasp them, or see them from our bedroom window.

Premiere: Entrañas - Caverna

Tracklist + Q&A: https://bit.ly/4ewcp8o

Ecuadorian producer @entranas concocts a genre-busting mix of Latin club music, weaving unique patchworks and drum maelstroms into a feverish atmosphere.

"Inside this mix you will find new music by me and amazing music made by many great friends, from different parts of Latin America, from whom I always learn a lot and they inspire me to always be better. I consider that this music has a lot of personality and showcases that being Latinx is not a music trend or just consist of the same rhythm and musicality found reggaeton or guaracha, but a diversity of rhythms and musicalities"
