OBJEKT – GANZFELD – 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY REISSUE

Posted on 2024-10-07

Objekt launches his new label, Kapsela, with a 10-year anniversary reissue of his lauded production ‘Ganzfeld’. An ambitious, evocative electro/IDM epic with cavernous drums and a riotously funky bass solo, Ganzfeld was initially released in 2014 on Leisure System as the B-side of Hypnagogia, a split EP with Detroit electro pioneers Dopplereffekt. It quickly garnered critical acclaim (including Track Of The Year by Resident Advisor) and amassed a cult following despite clocking in at 147bpm, a relatively unwieldy tempo for most DJs at the time. Given the seismic shifts in tempo and genre that have taken place in the 10 years since and the emergence of a new generation of producers with whom Ganzfeld’s influence has resonated, 2024 seemed like the perfect moment for a re-release.

Commissioning remixes for the first time, Objekt enlists Djrum, who delivers a jaw-dropping 10-minute rendition which weaves through multiple genres and tempos with the cinematic flair of a short film score. Milan’s Piezo contributes a taut, prickly interpretation that builds tension at 80bpm before exploding into a cathartic double-time closer. Finally, US ambient artist Ulla fully deconstructs the original into a serene, undulating lullaby.

AMNESIA SCANNER & FREEKA TET – HOAX

Posted on 2024-09-30

Mutating out of the collaborative practice established on STROBE.RIP, Amnesia Scanner and Freeka Tet are so back with a new dual record project that explores and explodes norms of music production, songwriting and sonic aesthetics. HOAX is *not* an album and remix released together, but rather, a singular experience unfolding as two mirroring, mutually-reinforcing (or perhaps deconstructing) records.

The Amnesia Scanner “AS HOAX” record administers the liquid drip of devastating ballads, wandering mosh-ups and industrial flood lights that we fiend for. But, as with every AS record it is impossible to mistake the grunged-out doom for nihilism: there is simply too much raw emotion, vulnerable narrative and playful experimentation. With drums and chaos from Freeka on four “ASFT” tracks, AS has delivered perhaps their most prescient, hopeful and soon-to-be-seminal record of their genre-defining career.

PHARMAKON – METHANAL DOLL

Posted on 2024-09-30

By stripping back and exploring new ground, Margaret Chardiet digs deeper and ever more intense with the long awaited return of her Pharmakon project after a five year hiatus. Maggot Mass imagines death as a radical act of recycling, and attacks the human hierarchy that severs us from the Earth with visceral lyrics “Dominate, domesticate, irrigate, and procreate” delivered with disgust and gnashing rips and tears of percussion. Chardiet takes a microscope to the undergrowth as buzzing flies bring about industrial stomps and mangled metallic fervour on ‘WITHER AND WARP’, bass snarling as she growls in unison with nature.
