Dedicated to our microbiomes.  
We have tried to pay attention to the signals of our symbiotic partners, to understand their signs better, we have taken many walks together through larger ecosystems,

LZYX (digital selves + yaxu) live in the alpaca lab

Tokyo-based @chinabot debutant @atheropendoor distills a plethora of styles in his own image. An acronym for “forward-looking infared”, impending album ‘FLIR’ establishes a bold blueprint, mixing influences that range from jungle and dubstep to progressive rock and traditional Chinese instrumentation. 

Our premiere, ‘Cube Cannery’, takes no prisoners with a moody, fearsome onslaught. Simultaneously glitching and direct, with plenty of Peking Opera bell sounds and plucked bass for good measure.

The CIRCLE is proud to present the first Hong Kong local Footwork/Juke music compilation "In Memory of DJ Rashad" !!!

The Chicago-based pioneer of Footwork music and also the founder of Footwork family Teklife, DJ Rashad, passed away on April 26, 2014, but his impact continued unabated. The CIRCLE is honored to invite seven local music producers from Hong Kong and Macau to participate in this music compilation. There are predecessors who first introduced Footwork to Hong Kong, and there are also cutting-edge newcomers in recent years. They pay homage to the legendary DJ Rashad with a brand-new production and at the same time showcase the latest sounds from the local Footwork scene.

"In Memory of DJ Rashad" is available to buy on the Bandcamp website, please check The CIRCLE's Bandcamp website.

Mt. Fuyu - A Mirror To Weave
Cat. Nr: DN024
Format: DL
Release Date: June 2, 2023
Buy / stream: dansenoire.ffm.to/MtFuyu

A grave and sprawling epic, Mt. Fuyu’s A Mirror to Weave swells with implication. Written, recorded, and produced from the heart of a person who’s lived through life’s struggles much too young, the album is a ferment of ideas and experiences that together capture the sheer strangeness, beauty, and terror of existence. Born in China and immigrating to the United States with his parents in infancy, the Kansas City-based artist—otherwise known as Fu Liu—moved from the coastal province of Shandong to America’s Midwest in the early 2000s. The dot-com crash to follow led to living precariously with his father in Canada, then a short stint in foster care, before settling into a strict regimen of academic and musical pursuits on the family’s return to the US.

This classical jazz education and scholarly background comes through in A Mirror to Weave, where an endless inventory of influences—crossing Coil, The Caretaker, Burial; Mark Fisher, Hito Steyerl, Carl Jung, and more—is steeped in a sublime brew of drone, post-industrial and ambient; hauntology, dub and bass. Rife with the trauma of the past, and the expansive landscapes of the present, opener “Temple” billows with decayed, distended, and eerily pitched vocals, as an arrhythmic pulse grows then crashes in a surge of noise and distortion. The disturbance rumbles through other tracks too, as the subaqueous current of “Swamp Nymphs” roils and fizzes around a crumble of pads and sine waves, while resampled and effects-laden drums charge head-first into the spooky atmospherics of “Ovre” with an erratic urgency.

Although often muted, muffled or restrained, the voice and its whispered words play a central role in A Mirror to Weave. It’s in the existential drift of “Shells”, as Fu Liu’s sweetly sung words (“seen it all/ a black hole”) ripple over a melancholy piano solo; environmental field recordings fluttering delicately just beneath the surface. The audio is taken from the parks, streets, bars, as well as online spaces Fu Liu inhabits, giving the record its heavy sense of grief and alienation. Wandering through the emotional state of pandemic-era estrangement, while also mourning the passing of friends, A Mirror to Weave is a requiem for the worst that’s already been, and an exaltation of the best that’s yet to come.

Mt. Fuyu - Swamp Nymphs

Talk by Jessica Ekomane, sketch­ing some of her recent rhythmic interests, such as the poly­rhythmic prac­tice of Pygmy music, African timeline rhythms, and the pres­ence of non-Anglo European ideas and artists with­in the his­tory of com­pu­ta­tion and com­puter music.

Live recorded on 29/4/2023 at Festival Oscillation :::  o tempo.
https://www.oscillation-festival.be/2023/


Jessica Ekomane is a French-born and Berlin-based elec­tron­ic musi­cian and sound artist. Her quad­ra­phon­ic per­form­ances seek a cath­artic effect through the inter­play of psy­choacous­tics, the per­cep­tion of rhythmic struc­tures and the inter­change of noise and melody. Her music is groun­ded in ques­tions such as the rela­tion­ship between indi­vidu­al per­cep­tion and col­lect­ive dynam­ics or the invest­ig­a­tion of listen­ing expect­a­tions and their soci­et­al roots.
