TERENCE ETC. – THE MERCHANT OF FLATBUSH

Posted on 2022-07-25

The album was written and produced by Terence, along with long time friends and collaborators: Solomon Dorsey, Nick Hakim and his brother Nelson Bandela. Most of the songs on the 11 track album are arranged as diptychs that swell and fold in on themselves in a dizzying oscillation. Terence is flirtatious in his lamenting, with a style that swells from suggestively oracular, to vaudeville, to your local battle of the bands.

DYLAN HAUSTHOR

Posted on 2022-07-25

Hausthor conjures potent images from the creeping abyss with a flash, illuminating the human and tragic, the uncanny and mystical. Darkness metabolizes the familiar. Apparitions proliferate, dressing the world in strangeness and revealing the precarious ground on which we stake our certitudes. Photography is a tool to probe, documenting these unseeable events that would otherwise play at the tails of our eyes and in our thoughts. Even now, brought into full view, they resist complete apprehension- the narrative power of Hausthor’s images catches the viewer on the threshold of suspension between our beliefs and disbeliefs, and the dense, horizonless forest offers no reassurances.

AHMET ERTUG – EDIFICE AS ARTIFACT

Posted on 2022-07-25

Edifice as Artifact, is a exhibition focusing on the monumental, large-scale color photographs of Turkish artist Ahmet Ertuğ. A trained architect and a lifelong photographer of architectural heritage, Ertuğ has identified and masterfully documented the interiors of civilization’s most exemplary structures since he began in the early 1970s. From Unesco World Heritage Sites, vaulting places of worship, and opulent palazzos, to staid university libraries, magnificent theaters, and classically styled banks, Ertuğ’s formalist photographs have explored the role of architectural spaces within all segments of society and presented them as stand-alone works of art. For this exhibition, Ertuğ reflects upon images produced over the last 50 years in his homeland, Istanbul, Turkey, exhibiting dramatic large-scale color photographs taken within some of the world’s most historical and aesthetically significant structures: the Hagia Sophia, the Topkapı Palace, and the Selimiye Mosque in Edirne. Using large-format cameras, extended exposure techniques, and his trained eye for architecture, Ertuğ captures each venue’s enormity with infinite detail.

AQUARIAN MUTATIONS II: DELICIOUS INTENT

Posted on 2022-07-25

Canadian born, Berlin based producer Aquarian debuts on Dekmantel Records’ UFO imprint with Mutations I & II, a series of two EPs following his debut album The Snake That Eats Itself and his collaborative records as AQXDM. The series marks his return to club focused solo material for the first time since 2017.

Originally written as inflection points for his typically boisterous and genre collapsing dj sets, Mutations deftly splices the foundational DNA of his earliest productions — electro, hardcore and broken beat techno – with new and vital influences.
