Beesmunt Soundsystem / Cooper Saver - Bredius 1998 / Walk On Water .

E/ F is the third installment of our split series, this time bringing together Beesmunt Soundsystem and Cooper Saver. Their two tracks share a similar approach, deconstructing ethereal sounds over dark rhythmic foundations to reach the same kind of narcotic transcendence. An unplanned and unconscious sonic dialogue that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the series.

Out now on a 12” vinyl distributed by Clone. Find it in all good record stores (soon in our shop too).

Listen to snippets of both tracks above and check YouTube to listen to Cooper Saver's track in full.

Details from the artwork of Iro Aka's 'Passatge de les Ombres' by @eenyakee .

'Passatge de les Ombres' is inspired by the Japanese term 'ukiyo', which in the Buddhist tradition could be translated as "world of misery" but that later came to refer to the hedonist lifestyle that developed in the cities of the Edo-period Japan. This urban culture removed the negative connotations of 'ukiyo' and gave it another meaning: the 'floating world'. The term then began to be used to describe the way the city dwellers forgot their problems through cultural activities and Epicurean pleasures. 'Passatge de les Ombres' draws a parallel between that two-sided concept and the current situation, evoking a trip through a symbolic tunnel in which darkness and introspection intersect with escapism and hope.

Passatge de les Ombres' is the debut album of Barcelonian duo Iro Aka. A work inspired by the Japanese term 'ukiyo' (“floating world”) that comes to reflect the shadows and lights derived from the global crisis. Eight cuts filled with nocturnal atmospheres and meditative landscapes that lead us through the 'passage of shadows' referred to in the album title. A highly evocative musical journey that represents the emotional development experienced during these difficult last months and that reminds us that there's always a ray of light amidst darkness.

Ocean Youth Club - Divided Self (2019).

On May 2018 post-industrial obscurantists O Yuki Conjugate played a show in Barcelona in which they debuted their alter ego group Ocean Youth Club. Intrigued, we asked them for music related to the project. The outcome is 'Divided Self', their first ever release of this new OYC incarnation.

This is how they describe the project: “Divided Self encompasses the concept of duality; the self and the false self, the tension between an authentic identity and the false ‘sane’ identity we all present to the world. Laing’s 'The Divided Self' is united with Borges’ 'The Garden of Forking Paths' to examine the idea that alternate realities exist at the same time. To comprehend and hold these parallel universes in the mind is to flirt with insanity. Logic has no place here”.

You can now get 'Divided Self' at a reduced price as part of the HVNX packs available at our web shop. The packs include a selection of 2, 3 or 5 releases of the HVNX catalog plus a HVNX tshirt, all at a reduced price. Find the links in our bio. ...

Interchain – Plenum (2018).

Interchain's 'Plenum' is an album composed of a series of sketches based on Eugene Gorbunov and Andrew Lee's childhood memories about Perestroika in the USSR.

10 vibrant compositions inspired in a series of elements -from underground clubs to Lenin's Mausoleum and from USSR punk to drugs- that marked the period of political and social reformations that shook the Soviet Union in the 1980s. Despite being grounded in industrial sonics and its sparse backbone, the music in 'Plenum' has an oddly delicate and ghostly quality to it. Really fascinating stuff.

You can now get 'Plenum' at a reduced price as part of the HVNX packs available at our web shop. The packs include a selection of 2, 3 or 5 releases of the HVNX catalog plus a HVNX tshirt, all at a reduced price. Find the links in our bio.

Zodiac Free Arts Club ‎– Structures + Codes (2018).

“Constantin Xenakis work possesses exactly what I really love about intelligent electronic music. It's stylishly repetitive, coded, mechanical but, at the same time, very organic and playful”. This is how Argyris Theofilis, better known as Argy, explains his fascination with the late Greek artist Constantin Xenakis.

After becoming fixated by Xenakis, the producer eventually met him for the first time in 2012. Several meetings in Paris and Athens after, they both decided to present 'Structures + Codes', a concept album conceived as an homage to the painter's vision. Each one of the eight songs in the album corresponds to a painting by Xenakis, translating it's intricate shapes and patterns into spirit-lifting compositions filled with elliptic arpeggios, repetitive drum machines and esoteric melodies in proper kosmische manner.

You can now get 'Structures + Codes' at a reduced price as part of the HVNX packs available at our web shop. The packs include a selection of 2, 3 or 5 releases of the HVNX catalog plus a HVNX tshirt, all at a reduced price. Find the links in our bio.

Lawrence Le Doux – Music For Documentaries (2017).

'Music For Documentaries' is much more than the soundtrack for a documentary. The release includes the four pieces of music Lawrence Le Doux wrote for 'Story Telling for Earthly Survival', Fabrizio Terranova's beautiful film about visionary science philosopher Donna Haraway, but also compiles all the sketches and ideas that were not included in the final cut.

To write the music, Lawrence preferred not to see the movie first and instead was inspired by the stories about Terranova's encounter with Harraway in her Californian home. Stories about wandering, nature, the deep sea, the West Coast winds, Science Fiction and surf that became a series of short pieces that feel both heartwarming and mystifying.

You can now get 'Music For Documentaries' at a reduced price as part of the HVNX packs available at our web shop. The packs include a selection of 2, 3 or 5 releases of the HVNX catalog plus a HVNX tshirt, all at a reduced price. Find the links in our bio. ...

Simon Haydo – Redux (2017).

In 'Redux', Simon Haydo wanted to 'maximize the use of less'. Less gear, less effects, less input from other people, less everything. This is why all the sounds in the album come from just one synth: the Korg MS20. Using only between 2 and 6 channels per track, the Swedish producer delivers nine stripped but powerful vignettes of a highly vivid sound.

This restraint is not only applied gear-wise. “Instead of involving my own feelings, I let the voice of the MS20 take care of it”, says Simon. The result is a techno album in its purest form: austere, raw and devoted to a synthesizer's soul.

You can now get 'Redux' at a discounted price as part of the HVNX packs available at our web shop. The packs include a selection of 2, 3 or 5 releases of the HVNX catalog plus a HVNX tshirt, all at a reduced price. Find the links in our bio. ...
