Mixtape #129

02 August 2021


Ghent trio Steiger took us by storm with their exhilarating music, both composed and improvised, amalgamating various genres and influences. A mainstay in the Belgian jazz scene with an adventurous inclination, the outfit of Gilles Vandecaveye, Kobe Boon and Simon Raman sit at the intersections of jazz, rock, pop, classical and electronic music. They are constantly in search of exciting new sounds, and their recent album, The New Lady Llama, is clear proof of that.

Mixtape #79

10 January 2017

Australian trio PVT, formerly known as Pivot, had us right from the release of their debut album nearly a decade ago. Going even stronger today, brothers Richard and Laurence Pike and Dave Miller have a much anticipated fifth album, New Spirit, out next month. So we're ecstatic to start off 2017 with a mixtape put together by Richard Pike:

"I'm not sure how these have directly influenced New Spirit, but it's a selection of tracks that I found myself coming back to during songwriting. So I guess that means something. I avoided vocals in this mix because at the time I was only focused on finding the right sound palette, and letting my own lyrical ideas evolve over that palette. I otherwise have nothing against vocalists. This mix is very electronic. With a focus on futurism."

Oneohtrix Point Never unveils short film for ‘Sticky Drama’

04 November 2015

Oneohtrix Point Never - Sticky Drama

Garden Of Delete, the new album from Oneohtrix Point Never, arrives in just over a week. Daniel Lopatin, the man behind the project, had already shared two cuts from the album, ‘I Bite Through It’ and ‘Mutant Standard’, and today he’s offering its lead single, ‘Sticky Drama’. It comes with an accompanying short film made by Jon Rafman and Lopatin himself, presented in two parts, ‘Sticky Drama’ (Prologue) and ‘Sticky Drama’ (Music Video). The effort, which features over 35 children in its cast, was originally commissioned by the Zabludowicz Collection in conjunction with Warp Records. “Inspired by the costumes, staging and extended improvised narratives of Live Action Role Play (LARP)”, says the press release, “the video reflects the vivid, often violent world of children’s imaginations and games, as well as extending both artists’ ongoing investigation into appropriation, the nature of memory and the horror of data loss.”.

In support of the album, Oneohtrix Point Never is about to embark on a world tour, taking a special live performance conceived with long-time collaborator Nate Boyce, to select cities. He’s performing in London at Village Underground this Sunday November 8th.

Now watch the video for ‘Sticky Drama’.

Garden of Delete is out on November 13th via Warp.
