Post-industrial synthesis gives way to full-spectrum noise, and intrusive thoughts are excavated via aural saturation bombing. Through collapsing signal chains & biting delays, the duo of George Rayner-Law and Vinegar Tom pore over the rapine chain of degeneration that is England. Heaving drones of memory churn the decayed hum of modernism and the spiritual bus routes of the past. Whispers crackle through a geiger pulse, modulated by municipal memory aides. Degradation’s live performance utilises processed tapework, heavy electronics and harsh amplified metal in a lamentation of the perverse ideology of the English. Expect live cuts from Degradation’s debut LP Leadlined and demented breaks from their recent surgical dub of You’re Like a Scalpel, I’m Like a Flick Knife by Iceman Junglist Kru. Degradation’s pummelling live action is documented in a new live tape — ‘Heavier than the Death of the Labour Party’ — recorded live at Cave12, Geneva and out on Brachliegen Tapes.

I hope to hear from you asap. All the best.Alain

UT [USA]

https://utmusic.babendcamvemp.com/album/in-guts-house-2

Availability: May 2024 – November 2024

Territory: Europe

UT is a radical rock group founded by Nina Canal, Jacqui Ham and Sally Young in NYC in Dec 1978. Originating in the downtown No Wave scene and inheritors of the collision between rock, free jazz and the avant-garde, Ut exploded the rigidity of conventional rock, constructing songs through collective improvisation, swapping instruments and rotating the role of singer/director.

Migrating to London in 1981, Ut played with bands like The Fall and The Birthday Party and released music on their own label, Out Records. Ut became a favorite of BBC’s John Peel and recorded sessions for his show. Joining forces in 1987 with the label Blast First, they released the critically acclaimed In Gut’s House in 1988 and made that year’s NME ‘Top 50 Albums’. The album Griller followed in 1989, engineered by label mate Steve Albini, who shared Ut’s raw aesthetic and captured the band’s intensity. Ut disbanded in 1990, but began performing again in 2010. The band is currently reissuing its remastered catalogue on Out Records, through Forte Distribution, and available on Bandcamp.

ANAÏS TUERLINCKX + DELPHINE DORA (Belgium/France)

https://soundcloud.com/del…/delphine-dora-anais-tuerlinckx

Availability: On request in 2024

Territories: Europe + UK

The duo’s music, mainly improvised, favoring a spontaneous approach, is based on the play on the dialectic between the exploration of areas of friction between noise and abstraction, but also the taste for sound textures, the border between the musicality of words and the glossolalia, materiality and the “fragments” of melodies which collide and contaminate each other. A subtle research around the materiality of sound and its transformation, gestures, musical and extra-musical sounds, play on reductionism, stripping down of play, combined with hypnotic work around the voice and altered fields of consciousness »

PURBA (Russia)

Availability

Territories: Europe + UK

The PURBA project, created in 1996, was the first in Russia to perform the music of ancient sacred Tibetan ceremonies. From the very beginning, the original idea has undergone transformations, including numerous concerts and reflections.

Currently, the Tegin’s Phurpa project faithfully reproduces the Tibetan bon ritual tradition, and the PURBA project specializes in the development of Tibetan ritual and industrial music using homemade instruments and electronics in collaboration with various musicians.

This may seem somewhat unusual, given Tibet’s connection with industry, but if you compare the sounds preserved by Tibetans over the centuries with the sounds of modern industrial civilization, then there is a certain similarity.

During the rituals, PURBA uses handmade tools such as a gas tank with strings, cardboard and metal pipes, homemade drums and springs.

She goes beyond simple music, instead embodying a mystical spiritual practice rooted in vibrations and living breathing.

FLIPO MANCINI (Belgium)

From 2007 to 2014 he released 2 electronic music albums and a few EPs which are a personal mixture of acid, electronica, jungle, IDM and ambient music. He played shows around Europe and North America with artists such as: Apparat, Venetian Snares, DJ Spooky, 808 State, The Bug, Luke Vibert, Legowelt, Shackleton, Lorenzo Senni, DMX Krew, Tim Exile, Bill Kouligas and many others. In 2015 Leonardo wrote a composition for an orchestra of automated instruments – robots – controlled by digital impulses. This ensemble of musical robots (part of the Logos Foundation in Ghent) includes numerous classical instruments (percussion, woodwind, brass, organ) as well as many unconventional instruments, making it the largest orchestra of robots in existence. The composition entitled “Musica Automata” has been documented with a video, which was premiered at several international festivals in Europe and North America. In 2018 Leonardo created a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter to compose and record an entire album with the robot orchestra. On 19th July 2018, the project was successfully founded, receiving excellent media coverage from

international press (Reuters, CNN, Fox News, Rai, Ansa, Yahoo, Redbull, Vice, etc). The album Musica Automata will be released under his own name the 3rd November on Helical and it has been anticipated by the single called Bomi, which is accompanied by a new video with the robot orchestra

LISEL (USA)

https://lisel.bandcamp.com/…/patterns-for-auto-tuned…

Availability: 19th April 2024

Territory: Belgium

LISEL / Eliza Bagg is a Los Angeles-based experimental musician, working as a vocalist in contemporary classical music along with producing her own work. She has collaborated across genres with prominent experimental artists ranging from performing in Meredith Monk’s opera Atlas with the Los Angeles Philharmonic to touring regularly as a member of Roomful of Teeth, singing chamber motets by John Zorn, or working collaboratively with Ted Hearne on his theatrical song cycle Dorothea. Her singing has been called “ethereal” by The New York Times and “gossamer” by The New Yorker. Lisel’s music explores the “valley between authenticity and artifice” (The Guardian). Dubbed an “electro-pop alien” (NPR), her recently critically acclaimed album Patterns For Auto-tuned Voices And Delay (Ba Da Bing Records, 2023) combines medieval and minimalist vocal styles and idioms with vocal effects, creating « gleaming electro-hymns » (Uncut) and re-contextualizing these musical languages in and the spiritual nature of layered, choral singing within a technological, futuristic sensibility.

Thanks for reading.

All the best.
