Interdependencies I
*100 copies limited edition* The 4.1-channel composition 'Interdependencies I' (2018) by artist and composer Christian Skjødt Hasselstrøm, derives its conceptual and sonic foundation from a meticulously crafted analog electronic 8-voice instrument, purposefully designed to probe the realms of electrical interdependence.

Datu
*2024 stock* “‘Datu’ is the name given to the ruling head of a clan or tribe during ancient, pre-colonial times of the Philippines.

Foam
*2024 much needed repress* Ulla returns with ‘Foam’, a surprise new album unlocking variants of ambient pop and looped jazz/dub styles coiled inside a glitched matrix that reminds us of Huerco S’ ‘Plonk’ as well as Ekkehard Ehlers fractal treatments and those incredible, smudged and disneyfied edits of Celine Dion released earlier this year by elusive outfit Romance. It’s an absorbing, quietly significant album for 3XL, on its most substantial release to date.

The result is a driving, dubbed-out, and deeply intricate soundscape that perfectly sets the stage for Mojahedy's extended, unconventi…

The beat, with its bindings shattered, charging loose onto the dancefloor and subsuming it in a storm of gnashing teeth and whirling steps and ecstatic free dance, ecstatic free play. The beat, set free to grow in infinite folds and spores and to be carried in endless fractal blooms across the four winds, from dimlite…
Nasty Gal
* Metallic Gold Wax * In the 1970s, Betty Davis defied genre and gender by pushing her voice to extremes and embracing the erotic. She articulated a kind of pre–punk, funk–blues fusion that had yet to be normalized in mainstream music — a style that few musicians have come close to replicating. As one of the first Black women to write, arrange, and produce her own albums, Betty was a visionary who disregarded industry boundaries and constraints. Raw, unapologetic, and in full control, Betty pave…
