From the album "What Stays In Vegas" out 22 November.

A chance meeting in Bucharest two summers ago saw Ratty Slay Johnson and Soopie reunite. It has been a much discussed topic amongst art and music circles as to how and why Rat Section abruptly fell into obscurity in the late 90s and up to this point their sudden disappearance remains a mystery.

Their sparse back catalogue seems inaccessible now. A dedicated collecting community known as ‘Club Rodentia’ sought to preserve their tape and vinyl output, amassing releases from Ratty Slay Johnnie’s sophomore release ‘Tails from Estonia’ to Soopi and Slay John’s last known excursion ‘Tashkent Knights’.

An unfortunate occurrence led to the destruction of this archive in 2005. Member of Club Rodentia Carlos Moscato was quoted in an article of NME magazine saying “In the dark of night, a fire emerged, I was responsible at the time for the care of the archive, as standard Rodentia protocol we would move the collection every 3 months, for both preservation and for local access to Rat Sections catalogue. On the final night of my duty I heard footsteps, a crash, and before my eyes years of hard work erupted in flames. Since this incident I haven’t found even a crumb of Rat Sections body of work and people say we will never see them again." Carlos Moscato was correct, until now.

Rat Section have been active for the last two years with appearances in London, Berlin, Malmö, Melbourne, Paris and Los Angeles, it looks like we are finally going to hear Rat Section again. They have found a home for their debut album on Halcyon Veil.

Rat Section are back in the spotlight.

AKA HEX - Do The Rite Thing / Hex On Fire
Cat. Nr: DN033
Format: Digital
Release Date: November 22, 2024
Buy / stream: dansenoire.ffm.to/AkaHex

AKA HEX is a brand new collaboration between Aïsha Devi and Slikback.

Devi has always used her music to look outward, beyond the confines of club music and the avant garde towards a space that's less predictable and far more mysterious. She was born in Switzerland with Nepali Indigenous heritage, and her transversal identity has helped her navigate the underground as not just a producer and vocalist, but as a curator. Co-founding the Danse Noire imprint in 2013, she used that platform to launch her breakout EP 'Hakken Dub / Throat Dub', following it up with the labyrinthine 'Of Matter and Spirit' album in 2015. Devi's interest in sonic alchemy and multi-dimensional expression was further developed on 2018's 'DNA Feelings', coming to an overflowing head with last year's enigmatic 'Death Is Home', which featured a collaboration with none other than Slikback.

Born and raised in Nairobi, Slikback is one of the world's most adventurous producers, taking elements from the wide spectrum of club, noise, ambient and rap musics and forming them into a psychedelic lattice of high intensity sounds and emotions. He's spent 
the last few years prolifically contributing to his canon via his Bandcamp stream, this year compiling the highlights into the frenetic double-LP 'SLIKBACK' – 22 tracks of future-facing, soundsystem-ready experimental club sounds that define his journey so far. 

Together, they synthesize their artistry as AKA HEX, welding kinetic, bass-heavy rhythms to zig-zagging, sci-fi tinged soundscapes and mutant vocals. It's Devi's most dancefloor-focused material in years, and Slikback's most alien to date, bridging the chasm between avant-pop, experimental club and hallucinogenic ambience.

AKA HEX - Do The Rite Thing

TRYCE @3yyccee and Xenia Reaper @xeniareaper collaborate on Dream-Fighter, a limited 7" lathe cut, due for release on Unguarded February 14th.

Drawing from a collection of recordings made throughout 2021, the two producers bring to life a cold, icy two-track single spanning precision-cut breaks, breezy pads and fluttering digital arpeggios, laced together by laser tight impacts.

Versatile A/V artist and producer based between Riga and Berlin, N1L intersects eclectic "club" music experiments with post-industrial psychedelia and intense alien soundscapes. Having recently been focused on independent self-publishing, his previous releases have also been put out by acclaimed labels such as UIQ, Opal Tapes, among others.

ПОТОП (“potop”, or deluge in Russian) presents seven pieces encapsulating dark apocalyptic themes, each setting the scene for a disorientating sonic landscape that references the genesis flood narrative found in the world’s ancient mythologies. Centered on Earth's return to a pre-anthropocene state of watery chaos, this allegory illustrates both punishment for man’s mortal sins as well as new beginnings born from the washing away of everything that has reached its final, obsolete stage — the message of which is increasingly relevant today.
