PREMIERE: Toumba and Duswunder - Fawda (Caninal)

Alec Pace - Spherae
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM110
Format: Digital
Release Date: May 3, 2024

‘Spherae’ marks the return to scenes of Turin-based producer and DJ Alec Pace landing now on Infinite Machine with a mind-melter EP aimed for the club.

Following a 2-year long hiatus from his latest original work ‘Future Now?’ and previous releases on acclaimed labels such as All Centre and Nous Disques, the Italian producer delivers a new psychedelic blend of post-grime and experimental-bass condensed into a powerful club-ready 4-tracker.

Opening track ‘Preemah’ is a dance-floor heater which plays with the alternation of perpetual crescendos and heavy kick-drops, the rhythmic session is based on a glitchy jersey-club beat while the melodic elements work with uplifting synthesizers and heavy manipulated field recordings.

The explorations continues into title track ‘Spherae’, a peak-time ‘ode to speed’ which twists elements and a rhythmic session borrowed from the D’n’B scene while mangling them with ‘pointillistic’ synthesizers and hyper-effected spooky vocals.

‘Khroma’ follows next, a dark and psychedelic roller which will bring the listener into more obscure sound landscapes which delivers robotic GQOM-inspired beats with overdriven-glitchy synthesizers and tribalesque chants.

The alien-shaped beats of ‘Qubo’ closes-down the release with its glitchy-old-skool-electro vibe, combining a rhythmic session which borrows elements from the old-skool electro with analog generated percussions and field recordings.

While touching GQOM-esque and post-grime atmospheres and both pushing BPM-speed limits forwards, ‘Spherae’ explores further into experimental-territories yet remaining true to its club nature.

open air......WOW!

ID-ASS by @escobutt is a sonic research and experimental study that aims to break the conventions of music genres as a response to the constant struggle and resistance to binary systems of oppression. These tracks were influenced by various popular Latin American music genres such as Reggaeton and Neo Cumbia, and by many electronic and experimental approaches to music production like Glitch Hop, Hyperpop and Downtempo. ID-ASS is a sanctuary of introspection and an invitation to step into your main character.
SHOUT OUT to all the women in the industry!!

Special thanks to Juanito por las bases y por bendecir esta obra con sus talentos musicales. To Gussyee for the musical toys, samples and all the feedback. To Pia and Tara for the killer album art direction. To Sam and Heather for the fantastic engineering, and finally to Bigote y Caballito por la confianza.

All tracks were composed, and recorded in Toronto, Ontario; with samples from field recordings gathered in Colombia in 2022-23, SOPHIE, Pursuit Grooves, El Keamo, Space Primo and Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal bells.

Yasmine Des Astres - La Forêt Des Amates 
Cat. Nr: DN029
Format: Digital
Release Date: October 11, 2024
Buy / stream: dansenoire.ffm.to/YasmineDesAstres 

La Forêt des Amantes was born in a daydream. “At night, under the shining moon of silver, I ran in a forest with the one I love,” describes experimental artist Yasmine des Astres. Arriving at music by necessity, rather than by intention, Yasmine des Astres arranges her voice, live instrumentation and synthesis into cinematic assemblage, drawing as much from filmmaker Philippe Grandrieux, philosopher Georges Bataille and Sufi mystics like Ibn Arabi, Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi and Mansour al-Hallaj, as she does any particular sound. 

Despite this, the artist remains fiercely opposed to overly academic approaches to her art. Entirely self-taught, her DIY practice emerges as the consolidation of years of personal discovery. Dropping out of school at 15, suffering severe social anxiety, the artist took solace in her mother’s rap cassettes, instilling in her a love for hip hop instrumentals. Before long she was digging for samples online to make her own beats. At the age of 16 she discovered the transcendent Gnosticism of Sun Ra, which shifted her entire worldview forever. However it was the artist’s love of cinema, in particular the films of Robert Bresson, that truly taught her what it means to be an artist. Bresson’s legendary text ‘Notes On The Cinematograph’ helped Yasmine des Astres construct a vision of art with which she could connect her sensations to her emotions. 

Specifically, the image of running through a forest at night kept returning to her, a vision she initially understood as a need for freedom, but which gradually developed into a deeper, more intense understanding. Chasing “desire as a liberating and enlightening force,” her dream of liberation became one of sexual exploration and self destruction, while La Forêt des Amantes grew into The Forest of Lesbian Lovers. “It is a dream made out of my lesbian devotion,” the artist asserts. “A desire to annihilate myself through the lesbian I would love.” Citing kindred spirit Obsequeen and Japanese experimental noise rock oddities Les Rallizes Dénudés as sonic influences, with La Forêt des Amantes Yasmine des Astres picks her way through an expansive sonic terrain of effects-laden vocals and off-kilter electronics. 
 “The album is about yearning,” she explains. “The forest doesn’t exist, it is not a forest we know. It is an absence. An absence of civilization, an absence of politics, just two lesbians and the universe around them.”

ON TOUR NOW

Let's face it, you don't have to be a genius to know that Ed Sheeran is smacking it out of the park right now. The global sensation rarely crosses over into the dance music world but his track with fellow British world-conquerers Rudimental ticks all the right boxes.

On remix duty for the 'Bloodstream' is another heavyweight in the form of Russian EDM producer Arty. 

The noise-bringing youngster has been churning out a silly amount of remixes and originals since 2009 and now he turns his hand at re-imaging 'Bloodstream' for the big room.

Zhala’s haunting and evocative melodies are packed with a serious punch, full of thought-provoking lyrics and undeniable hooks. Using Stockholm as her base, but with the mindset of a modern day transnational, Zhala’s music is futuristic, labeled by the artist herself as “cosmic pop.”

Zhala (Rifat) was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. She became very involved in the local art and club scene and further developed her talents as an artist through dance, singing and her live shows. This path eventually led to her being signed to Konichiwa Records in 2012.

While recording the music for her first release, Zhala continued to tour - playing several festivals (Bestival, Isle of Wight, Way Out West), a unique performance at the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit at Stockholm’s Moderna Museet, and most recently, an opening slot for Robyn in London, Berlin and Stockholm. The darkly epic track “Slippin’ Around” emerged online at the start of 2012 with a creepily striking video, alerting the likes of My Old Kentucky Blog, Discobelle and The Line of Best Fit that there was a new and unusual popstar about to emerge.
