Doxa – Spiraling Upward

“Tripped" 

I've been thinking a lot about stretching time. 
smearing textures to obscure but also to take a closer look. 
I think what we all want is more easily found either 
birds eye or magnified to the most extreme. 

I've been thinking about 
stretching, 
stretching 
time. 

A moment lost, then found, 
then explored to infinity, then perhaps forgotten. 

So caught up in the immediate – we lose sight of the infinite, 
the looping — 

I've been thinking a lot about now 
but maybe in a way you haven't thought of, 
(maybe you had or have before) 
but I've been thinking a lot about examination, 
magnification as retribution and freedom. 

I've been thinking about the end — 
is it so different than now or 
does it merely act as bookend 
and thus drama is procured — 

I've been thinking about 
literally 
emotions smeared slowly 
across something that acts as canvas — 

I think we all look for canvases as friends and 
lovers as mirrors, 
to investigate — 
exploring time, 
exploring the infinite — 
I've been thinking a lot about stretching these times, 
one moment as symbology 
but realization that all moments are just as equal and 
profundity in the mundane, 

I've been thinking about magnification and 
the decision to shift the mundane to a profound status — 
to lose ones self again and again through magnification 
-/ what a rush — 
to actually care about now as apposed to 
conceptualizing the 
living fuck out of it, 
instead of beating your 
life fucking senseless with 
irony leaving it 
alone to die 
-1 non 
I've been thinking about 
concepts of emotional exposure 
-2 but 
at what point is the exposure too much 
at what point do you snap? 
I've been thinking about stretching moments to cherish 
what there is in front of me, 
I don't want to lose 
what there is in front of me, 
I want to celebrate exposure, 
stretching, 
smeared emotions — 

the first time I thought this way was 
when it started 
there were 
references to previous masters 
yes, 
I want to be like the pollock of sound 
I want to find inherent freedom 
in the lack of structure 
I want to find the most structure 
after tipping 
a tipping point 
to see what happens then

INDEX:Vol.3

PREMIERE: AASKA - 111 [INDEX:Records]

Forced to pause the events in the spring, our restlessness has manifested itself in the form of a debut label release: a 21-track genre spanning compilation.

We chose to work closely with friends and family, artists that have an affiliation with AM, each expressing themselves in their freest forms from broken-techno, glitchy breakbeats and mutant dancehall, to IDM & electro.

Vina Konda - 'FAM+FAM'

NYC's Sorry Records has had an epic year with stand-alone releases from Escaflowne, SPACEGH0ST, DJ Wawa, C Powers, Darian, Matt FX, Tony G, and Malik da Freek among others. Not to mention the guest appearances from the likes of Ma Sha Ru, Amal, Drummy, Huey Mnemonic, Ali Berger, Kush Jones, and DJ Swisha. Despite everything going on around them, they’ve continued to smash it each release, beaming through the dust, and now round off 2020 with a bouncy, uplifting deep house record from Scottish NYC-based DJ, producer and saxophonist Panooc. Going full circle on this one, one of the founders of Sorry Records met Panooc on the dancefloor a year ago whilst Fatherhood was DJing and here we are, a year later releasing ‘Softie’ EP featuring a remix from none other than Fatherhood themselves. 

Panooc has been a lifelong devotee to the global queer dance underground, putting out records for the better part of a decade on a diverse selection of labels such as New York house music institutions King Street Sounds and Nite Grooves, dance powerhouse Ultra Records (Sony), and underground DIY platforms such as QRTR’s Wavcave. They’re currently a resident of gender non-comforting, women & allies DJ collective and party XOXA and have played at globally renowned institutions Tresor, Rye Wax, Good Room, and Dalston Superstore.

Slated for release on the 18th December, the lead track ‘Chem Trails’ draws from a jacking, old school sound, destined for peak time dance floor shutter moments. The ever so playful artwork for ‘Softie’ encapsulates the intimate, colourful, and joyous feeling of the EP perfectly.
