MANUFACTORY by Transforma & Sascha Ring

Directed by Transforma with a score by Sascha Ring (Apparat), Manufactory combines live video, physical theatre, and music to reflects the rhythms and materiality of labour and repetitive action. In their signature style, Transforma film and project this process live, condensing single scenes into stylised vingettes. Ring’s original score, takes the form of a series of phasing loops that both respond to and trigger the performers’ actions.

This unique live installation will premiere in September 2018. Now booking for festivals and special events.

Thomas Ankersmit Preps New Release

Scheduled for release in September 2018, Thomas Ankersmit’s new album for Shelter Press, Homage to Dick Raaijmakers, is an all-analogue electronic music composition inspired by the namesake legendary composer / multimedia artist’s music from the 1960s. Like Raaijmakers himself Ankersmit exclusively uses analogue devices, such as sine/pulse/random generators, modulators, filters, and especially feedback processes between them. Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker and pressed on 140g vinyl housed in reverse-board outer and inner sleeve.

New Suicideyear album

Coming from deep within the city that brought us Master P’s legendary No Limit Dynasty and Lil Boosie, comes an artist who uniquely encapsulates the crossing point between lowslung hip hop and forward thinking, emotive electronic music. New Orlean’s based Suicideyear brings his own Southern Gothic perspective to the table with new album Color The Weather featuring Georgia (Domino) and Casey MQ. The limited vinyl version comes with a double sided fold out poster - all the artwork for this release is designed by Ezra Miller and Mikey Joyce.

Impossible Love EP Released by Born in Flamez

Born in Flamez returns to Infinite Machine with Impossible Love, a 7 track EP which questions the restrictions and tactics of queer love in the current political climate. The notions of heteronormative monogamous ideals and so called queer "free love" are probed as binary poles in a world of tinder and an increasing trend of non-commitment. Basing their lyrics on commonplaces of rom-coms and heteronormative ideals of the "one true love“, reading phrases like "I will never let you go“ closer, they reveal a threatening subcontext. In this dilemma it becomes clear how any such dualism raises a myriad of questions and by this opens up a space for something outside its poles in which we navigate our violent love for each other. Now booking for 2018 and 2019.

Perera Elsewhere Releases New Album: Drive

“Drive,” the first track off her namesake EP, expands the haunted metropolis Perera Elsewhere had built on her 2017 album, All of This. Perera has a knack for wringing subtle menace out of the texture of her voice: As the drums clatter on “Drive,” her voice gets more and more filtered by effects, like she’s retreating into her own electronic shadows. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to lean into the darkness to see what's hiding there, even as it threatens to swallow you whole. Booking for 2018 and 2019.

Air Max '97 Releases First Full-Length

Rugged and lustrous, Nacre is Air Max ‘97’s first full-length release. Written between Melbourne and Berlin and mixed in Mexico City, the album bears traces of fleeting yet profound geographic and emotional immersions. Air Max ‘97’s signature baroque momentum is suffused anew with pungent and labile tonal atmospheres, through which organic sonic events and incomprehensibly abstracted vocals wreathe. The totality is uncompromising and affective, yielding a broader spectrum of Air Max ‘97 sonics than ever before. Booking for 2018 and 2019.
