Mostra Takeover on 9128.live Sept 17/18th

Join us this weekend, September 17/18th on 9128.live, as we repeat an immersive listening experience from Barcelona’s recent Mostra Festival and the ambient/experimental-focused Hangar stage.

Beginning on Saturday morning and running for 13hrs, we will repeat some of the many sets that debuted at Mostra this past April, including live and DJ sets from:

Balmat
D.Humo
LF58
LOG
Nono
Timnah Sommerfeldt
Vicki Siolos
Ylia

“Mostra is more than a festival: it seeks to offer an alternative experience that brings us closer to the city. We want those who call Barcelona their home to make this position their own and to feel it belongs to them. That's why we're working to create a network in the scene among collectives, labels, artists, record shops, and other agents in the city.

Because we believe that the new normal must be to cooperate and create community. Barcelona needs a festival like Mostra: we are here to join forces and become a benchmark for a new type of festival with its own identity, committed to what’s local, what’s inclusive, and what’s sustainable.” More on the festival

($5k reached!) Portals: Energostatic (For Ukraine)

We just hit a massive milestone with our Energostatic charity mix and compilation, hitting just shy of $5k ($4733.52 to be exact, but rounded the donation up to $5k). I’m humbled by the support this has received, given it is a digital compilation, to hit this number is magic. I am glad we could do something small but meaningful to help with the situation in Ukraine, and specifically, the affected children of Ukraine.

The donation to Save The Children and its specific Ukraine efforts was made today.

Once again, a big thank you to everyone who has purchased the album and enjoyed it along the way. And again, to Energostatic label founder Marc Atmost for helping make this happen.

Let’s keep going!

Viul & Benoît Pioulard / Konec (ASIPV035)

Our next release comes from the esteemed pairing of Benoît Pioulard and Viul with a 2LP collaboration titled Konec.

This album stuck inside my head as soon as I was done with the first listen. Closely rooted in each of their own aesthetics, it sits somewhere between a hazy city sunset and a dystopian swan song, evoking a lot of nostalgia and plenty of memorable moments throughout the twelve tracks. One of those albums where everyone has a different favorite track!

Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri and featuring some stunning hand-drawn artwork by Liz Harris, the gatefold is printed on reverse board gatefold to enhance Liz’s artwork and pressed on Transparent vinyl.

Preorder is available on Monday 15th with full release on August 29th.

ASC / Original Soundtrack (ASIP037)

After two albums as Comit, James Clements brings his ASC alias to the label with a completely new and revealing style, focusing on the piano and creating space for the listener to construct their own associations with an imaginary Soundtrack.

Bridging the majority of Electronic styles over the past twenty years, from Autonomic and Jungle, to Ambient, Techno and IDM, James Clements can be held up as a master of these styles by many of us, but when it comes to boiling down his musical intricacies to focus on a single instrument, you’d be hard stretched to find something within his vast catalog until now. In 'Original Soundtrack' the piano is now the focus across eight introspective acts, with the spaces and places left open for further interpretation.

Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri and featuring photography by Greg Nunn, Original Soundtrack will be available as a limited Digipak CD and digital download. View the release page for more info and links to buy.
