SBKT 032EP
|
EP0001 is the first audio release from Matteo Zamagni's Seven Orbits project. Five original tracks including a collaboration with Nervous Horizon's TSVI, plus remixes from 33EMYBW, Gooooose, and Zaliva-D. Seven Orbits is an audiovisual performance designed for immersive sensory experiences. It plays with the senses through vibration, light, and sound to induce potential altered states with an emphasis on the transcendental and animistic connection with the natural world and the divine as can be found in past and present rituals around the world. The softwares used to create the experience communicate with each other so that the sound, played live on DAW, drive the real-time graphics as well as physical live elements; Further control of the experience is also achieved by using external physical interfaces.

One of the great truths of today's reality is that it's mostly fake. Technological advancement, in a dual process of exteriorization (our memories and organs extended into manipulated artifacts) and interiorization (artificial structures installed as prostheses), has muddied our waters so that we are unable to tell truths from lies, actuality from abstraction. Musing on the contemporary culture of "deepfakes", where interlocking algorithms meet the omnipresence of surveillance, Eli Osheyack's Memory Hierarchy is a gesamtkunstwerk, crystallized into the memorial device of a record. When first performed live at Unsound Festival in 2019, Osheyack, together with collaborator, the late Adam Dupré, captured and live-streamed the audiences' motions. Evidence of this event is rendered here as album artwork, transporting audiences into a doubly displaced moment in time. With its almost epical structure, punctuated by recurring howls and gasps, "Liar's Dividend" feels like an omen -- of, among other things, a Nietzschean last man suffering from gluttony. On the B-side, "Mutual Shaping" and "Tertiary" leave you, instead, reveling in warped time and disorientation.

S L V is the collaborative project of producers Downstate (Shanghai) and Hamacide (Tokyo). After releasing their debut EP on Urban Waves in 2012, Shanghai's SVBKVLT label are proud to kick off their new 10" series with Dagger, one of S L V's strongest productions to date. A tough yet cinematic 80/160 BPM cut, "Dagger" sees the two producers' styles collide and complement each other perfectly, creating a track aimed at the head as well as the feet. Finnish producer Desto takes on "Dagger" for the B-side and amps up the pressure to maximum effect. Nordic footwork styles via East Asia. Having already proven its potency on the dancefloor at clubs such as Fabric (London), The Shelter (Shanghai) and Ageha (Tokyo), this 10" has had DJ support from Kode9, Perera Elsewhere (Jahcoozi), Puzzle (Leisure System), and Doshy, amongst others.
