Slipstreaming EP

Premiere: Ma Sha & Sobolik ‘Liftoff’

With Slipstreaming, the first split EP on the label since 2021, Ma Sha (@masha-ny) teams up with Sobolik (@tomsobolikmusic) to return to Kindergarten origins in collaboration and pure energy. Taking cues from each other’s unfinished projects and bouncing ideas back and forth, the pair serve up the fastest EP the label has released to date.

Ma Sha, Sobolik - Slipstreaming EP (KINDER018)
Out on Kindergarten Records on June 14, 2024

Sobolik - Track Maintenance

Pre-order: https://kindergartenrecords.bandcamp.com/album/slipstreaming

@masha-ny teams up with @tomsobolikmusic on 'Slipstreaming', the first split EP on @kindergartenrecords since 2021.

Sobolik's 'As A Metaphor' is at once cavernously empty and knotty with intricacy. Big sub-bass dives, metallic tones and a dogged, rubbery bassline underpin breathy vocal chops and a taunting lead synth.

++ PRESENTATION ++

Scores +°-  glyphs to sounds !

+°°+--+
Scores is a compilation exploring musical notations and how they can be interpreted as sounds. People have always tried to translate sonic expressions into visual cues that could be archived, passed down, and transformed back into music. 

From symbols to numbers, grids, staffs, figures or abstract shapes, several languages have been developed and continuously questioned to improve the ability to retain the emotion and meaning sounds can convey - what lies behind the veil.
 
What if this time, the notation would come beforehand?

+°°+--+
The project unfolded in two phases. In the first one, visual artists from the Global URL Nation could propose one sheet of music score, free of interpretation. They were invited to play with musical notations and explore what it would even mean.
–
It welcomed chaggrin, Eurrope, M4X1US, MYEN, s1m0nc3ll0 & Ziyiz for 6 sheets


+°°+--+
In the second phase, artists from GUN could pick one sheet and create a track trying to follow it as much as possible. It invited them to question music as a physical object, with its shapes, colors, textures and layers with the following :

__How is the overall composition? Are there any axis or lines that could be interpreted as a timeline or a melodic scale?
__How many discrete elements are in the image? How are they laid out?
__What are the shapes involved?  What is their scale? Do they have sharp or blurry outlines?
__What are the colors/textures used? How do they relate with each other in terms of tones, contrasts…?
__How are the different elements layered on top of each other? Are they superimposed or do they merge in some way?
__How would they translate them in musical terms, such as textures, notes, structures, timbres, rhythms, dynamics? 

It welcomed Bademjan, Baje Nunca, C+Vis, Capiuz, Clair X, C.T.A.A.M.  Ecovoron, Epiphagi, HeedLess, Mambo Kahn, migu, POL100, Yau Hei ASJ & Ziyiz for 14 tracks ranging from ethereal scorescapes to hyperstimulating scratches. Sounds and shapes weave together, blurring the boundaries between the two media to create one whole entity

+°°+--+
With Scores, we invite you to seek the music that can be hidden in our surroundings, to decrypt and hear the phantom scores one can find in every shape, every color and every little visual detail __ open your ears and see the sounds, sometimes music lies in a simple fold of clothing

F3. Ziyiz - Skies Inside (Ring The Bell)

Follow @ziyiz

With EYX019 Early Reflex is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of "Sync Rite," the latest EP from visionary electronic music artist Ziyiz. "Sync Rite" features three groundbreaking tracks that continue Ziyiz's exploration of sound and surreal world-building.

Ziyiz, known for their cutting-edge sonics and captivating live performances, has previously released music through labels such as Kindergarten, Failed Units, and Line:156. With "Sync Rite," Ziyiz continues to push theenvelope, delivering a collection of tracks that challenge the conventions of electronic music.

The concept behind "Sync Rite" was inspired by a unique ritual observed by Ziyiz, where malfunctioning robots consumed a material known as Syndrenal to enhance synchronization and efficiency. This theme of synchronization and transformation is woven throughout the EP, offering listeners a sonic experience that is both otherworldly and deeply immersive.

The journey begins with Ashen Magnets, a tribal-infused synth dance track is a rhythmic journey that combines pulsating beats with haunting melodies, creating a hypnotic atmosphere that transports listeners to a different dimension.
Fired Water Twitches follows next, an electro-driven masterpiece which showcases Ziyiz's ability to blend robotic rhythms with electrifying synth lines, resulting in a high-energy dancefloor anthem.
The EP closes with Syndrenal a futuristic, hyper-fueled jersey club track, which pushes the boundaries of genre with its rapid-fire beats and innovative soundscapes.

Ziyiz said:
“██, located inside a cave within the ███████ forest. The ██ guides malfunctioning robots through a synchronization rite involving a liquid material, Syndrenal. Maintaining a distance is advised, due to the heat produced during the rite. Syndrenal is synthesized inside a crystalline cauldron sat atop spinning Ashen
Magnets, which appears to generate huge quantities of hot blue energy. The ██ body seems composed of a heat resistant metallic alloy, even so their lower torso has become molten and fused to the ground, presumably due to the long exposure of heat created by the Ashen Magnets. Their many limbs engage in constant movement, gathering materials from around the cave, which they place within the crystalline cauldron where Fired Water Twitches. Ziyiz observed the Sync Rite, documenting malfunctioning robots gathering around the entity. Once consumption of the Syndrenal has taken place they demonstrate synchronized movements and evident improved operational efficiency. The process appears to Sync and align malfunctioning robots, correcting errors in their programming.
The audio files presented were obtained via data transfer from post-Syndrenal Sync Rite robots.”

‘Sync Rite’ is available across all platforms on Friday 4th of October 2024.

“Never in my born days did I see such night”

(  (("))  )
Club Late Music and Morsel are happy to present a new addition to GUN-X __ a series of releases that enlarge the processes of collaboration beyond the borders of the Global URL Nation. For each project, members of the GUN community collaborate with members from another collective or label - exploring the results of cross-pollination and pooling across the global ecosystem of electronic music.

After an edition with Heel.zone in 2020 and with Hide Productions in 2023, we warmly welcome Morsel from the UK ! Morsel is a Manchester based label and arts platform inspired by literature and folklore, exaggerating the mysticism of our urban environments. Launched in 2023 only, their very just and sensitive approach convinced us instantly to extend the series with them.

(  (("))  )
For this one, Morsel wrote up a poem, which would serve as the primary source of inspiration to create a new track by musicians from both extended communities. 

It resulted in 17 tracks from Antonia XM, Bademjan, Clair X, Cralias, Dj Würm, Eurrope, excel dj, Flegma Joe, Griigg, Hajj, HR boat party, Ice_Eyes, Junior XL, Locre, Lucy Grey, Lukann, Older Brother, Pithe, Tobey, Yaka, Yauhei ASJ & Ziyiz.

“Never In My Born Days Did I See Such Night” is a collective exploration and experimentation into poetry as inspiration for composing music. The album oscillates between a sombre, dynamic landscape through a selection of heart-felt ambient tracks to bass driven club rhythms, mirroring the dark melancholic yet heavenly imagery painted in the poem. 

The album opens with angelic trance-like soundscapes decorated with glitches and robotic vocal elements that lead to a heavenly chorus of rich pads and textural field recordings. This feeling of euphoria is confronted with the latter half of the album drawing inspiration from deconstructed club music, flitting between sub basses and broken drum samples. The sludgy beats gather energy through the closing tracks through euro-dance-esque synths and electro-inspired drum patterns where they are met by the final track; an experimental collage of textures, computerised dialogues and dystopic sound bites that draw the compilation to a hypnotic close.

(  (("))  )
The release also comes with a zine of written contributions, which were inspired both by the original story, and by the tracks of the compilation, with Andres Komatsu, atrophene, Brice Reiter, Charlie O'Brien, Diana Serik, griddyeyes, Griigg, Ifuseekamy, julie nicol, Julieta Colantonio, l'autre champ d'eau, Léo Dubois, Le Spieman, Luz de Amor, Naledi Chai / Pillow Man, Older Brother, RAVEN, Solstice, & zozo.

The zine experiments with concrete poetry, broken narratives and long form writing as a response to the sonic landscape of the compilation. The collection delves into themes of longing, self discovery and hope through a textural lens reflected in the soundscapes of the album. Visual elements accompany the text facilitating melancholic narratives through depictions and arrangements of words, collage and graphics supporting the project.



(  (("))  )
For one year, all proceeds of the compilation will go towards Medical Aid for Palestinians. After that, the release will be proposed as Name Your Price, like all our other ones, and benefits will be reinvested into CLM & Morsel for upcoming projects and functioning costs. Thank you for your understanding and your help <3
