Desaceleradas
There's a bridge in Monterrey called El Puente del papa, and beneath it, on the dried-up Santa Catarina riverbed, something happened in the 1990s that nobody planned. Gabriel Dueñez was playing cumbia one night when his turntable's motor overheated and slowed everything down - voices became ghosts, accordion drones stretched into infinity, drums turned to liquid. The crowd kept dancing. Cumbia rebajada was born from a technical failure that revealed something true about memory, about displacemen…
Lite Hits
In the early 90s there were a few like minded friends making a unique style of lo-fi pop music. At the core of this non-scene were Sukpatch, Land of the Loops and The Ah Club, who all tended to play on each other's recordings. As the decade went on each of them learned how to use their instruments better, smoothing over the edges, but in typical fashion, the early home recordings had a special feeling that couldn’t be replicated with cleaner fidelity and nicer equipment. Sukpatch especially were…
Joy In Fear
goat (jp) are renowned for two albums released in 2013 and 2015 that took Kraftwerk’s man-machine concept back to its roots with swingeing, inch-tight drums, bass and guitar patterns that needed to be heard to be believed. For their long-in-the-making new album ‘Joy In Fear’, band leader Koshiro Hino (ypy, Kakuhan) describes the process as “90 percent pain” - and we can well believe it - few other records we can think of transmute DAW-composed rhythmic precision into such an expressive instrumen…

Keyboard Suite II
Suite II in the series expands upon their established pallet, integrating more field recordings and studio processing to their dulcet keyboard melodies. As a storm approaches from the distance - keyboards saturated by tape into distortion, bursts of noise from idiosyncratic electronics, aleatoric stuttering - MARV grants us an album’s worth of sonic sublimation.
