CupoCupo is a duo of musicians hailing from Bergamo, Italy presenting their second work after the debut ‘Hypermetabolism’ EP out earlier this year on the US label TAR. Coming with an album cover by the Italian visual artist eurasiandesert and an official two-sided A5 300 gr. cardboard artwork print, the 4-tracker 'Armor' EP is a coherent, eventful episode of knife-edge post-club hybridization, a treasury of outstanding sound design skills, vicious bass handling, and rhythmical obsessivity.

The centerpiece of their work is extensive vocal manipulation, employing voice chops with the role of primary composition tools within the multi-faceted pieces rich in heavy kick drums, snappy percussions, and gurgling vibrations. Drawing influence from contemporary electronic genres as well as free-form experimental music, the EP is closed by a trancey, grandiose rework of the opening track Yerro curated by the influential artist Galen Tipton (@galentipton) and a somber, pitch-black remix by Italian-based composer and producer SHE/MACHINE (@shevsmachine)

With ‘Armor’, CupoCupo hand out explosions of shattered sounds cramming themselves in turbulent flows of energy, where self-perception is challenged, strength is tested, and certainties are dismantled. Sealed lips utter red-hot rants oscillating from burning outbursts of chaos to sudden clarity. Tragic voices sing penetrating ballads for wandering bodies, waiting for their destiny to manifest and vehemently start opposing it. Light comes with darkness, and anything can be worth struggling for. CupoCupo’s outings are nothing but heartfelt testimony that brighter times are yet to come. Or not.

Ship Sket - England as a Succubus EP
ID008
Release date: 07-06-24

illegaldata.bandcamp.com/album/englan…s-a-succubus

"A suite of hyper-accelerated (and occasionally hellish) bass workouts destined to send dancefloors into a spin cycle."
- DJ Mag

"Ship Sket grapples with a frenetic and maximalist style that subverts and perverts expectations of UK bass music with equal measure."
- Mixmag

"Listening to Ship Sket feels like being dragged to hell and back."
- DAZED

You cannot separate pleasure from pain. Grotesque drums hiss and boom inside drill’s stricture, voices utter shattered phrases to each other in a darkening chain of whispers, synthetic violins mourn their last and rush towards singularity. Drawing upon the ‘self indulgent, purple prose’ of Angela Carter, the staggering works of composers Villa Lobos and Xennakis, the fissure between pagan mysticism of England past and its feckless, soul consuming present; ‘England as a Succubus’ is a lustful spirit that writhes and vibrates against a backdrop of lurid sonic pressure. 

Raised amongst the trees of the North Dorset countryside and presently residing in Manchester, Ship Sket grapples with a frenetic and maximalist style that subverts and perverts expectations of UK bass music with equal measure.

His new EP 'England as a Succubus' will be out on 7th June 2024 on Illegal Data.

Ship Sket - Parallel Vengeance Identity

Following the events of "Annihilation" and "Irrational Fear", xato presents the third part of his personal odyssey, "Stories with no fairy tales".

"Stories with no fairy tales" explores the dark self, with intense drone recordings, aggressive drum sounds and deep bass being the main sound focus of the project, surrounded by field-recording manipulations and deeply evolving textures.

As the project's tracks aged between 2019 and 2021, it never felt like the right time to release the project. However things changed when the reasons behind the tracks were revamped in the more recent years.

Hi there!

Sorry to bother you & writing about this so late, but the case is really urgent and important . .

We're running a pretty sexy label called glamour.

A few days ago our friend survived a major accident and he ended up being paralyzed from the waist down. He'd been in a coma for two weeks, woke up and doctors said he won’t walk anymore. He created a fundraising page (zrzutka.pl/s33zx9) so we decided to help him raise the money for everything by making a charity compilation that we would release on glamour’s bandcamp.
We wanted to ask, if maybe you (or any befriended musical project you know) would like (and could of course!) to be featured in such a compilation? For now, we have 70 confirmed artists (including galen tipton, John Object, Dmitri Mazurov etc.), many more to come.
All the money from bandcamp would go for Maciek. We thought of you because we admire your music so soooo much, and still want this compilation to be pure quality! <3

(The track must be unreleased yet, but you don’t have to make a new piece especially for the compilation. You can even give us something you’ve created some time ago but never published it.)

Thank you for your time!

Wiv love,
glamour
