Hey, this is amazing work! Are we getting a part 2?

When’s he’s not drumming for cult metalcore legends Jesus Piece, the multi-hyphenate Puerto Rican, Brooklyn-based musician Luis Aponte (@lu2k) is also one of NYC’s finest purveyors of cutting-edge of global club sounds, as showcased in this weeks unmissable SYSTEM mix.

SYSTEM Mix 091: LU2K

Premiered at our monthly listening event 'Conclave' at Peste, Manchester on 25th May 2023.

The first instalment of a brand new audio-essay of Kodwo Eshun’s 1998 book ‘More Brilliant Than The Sun: Adventures In Sonic Fiction’. Much sought after since it’s initial publication, ‘More Brilliant’ was a concerted attempt to change the relationship between writing and music. 

Throughout the work, which is situated between electronic music history, media theory, science fiction and Afrodiasporic studies, Eshun constructs an alternative (non-linear) timeline of 20th century music, traversing jazz, dub, techno, funk, hip-hop and jungle. 

The text mobilises what Eshun sees as the theoretical tendencies inherent to the output of artists such as Sun Ra, Lee Perry, Ramellzee, Funkadelic, 4hero and The Jungle Brothers, and open the possibilities of sonic fiction: the hitherto unexplored intersections between science fiction and organised sound.

With „I DARE YOU II“, Xzavier Stone unlifted the veil: Removing the usual hard-hitting drums and pop structures he highlighted the meticulous sound design that has made up a big part of his signature sound. This culminated in a soothing and ever evolving 26 min soundscape. With I DARE YOU II (Interpolated Versions), the artist invites friends to re-interpret his sonics. Whether it's made up of one sequence or many; there weren’t any rules to the creation process. This open approach resulted in a variety of interpolations - featuring a vocal debut by American musician and DJ P. Morris, the Dutch duo KEY/GEN, Montreal’s producer and DJ Martyn “M.” Bootyspoon, Swiss producers and artists 2AAB, Kombé, Modulaw and Tobias Koch, french pianist Joseph Schiano di Lombo, genre-bending French producer Brodinski and Xzavier’s frequent collaborator Phillip Jondo from Cologne.
