This is dope as hell.
Some of you know I’ve played a bit with SkankinOslo DJ crew. One of the members calls himself Ars Dada, and he makes breakcore stuff. He just released an album he’s been working on for a long time.
It’s a combination of neo-Classical instruments performed and recorded live by professional musicians, programmed breakcore drums, and other sounds.
It’s pretty cool, and has already gained a bit of traction from some people in the breakcore scene. Inspired by the works of Igorrr, Venetian Snares, and other similar artists.

Will give it a listen in the car today.
Listened through the whole thing here, it’s mostly ambient actually. But really cool stuff imho. Darkness.
Ars Dada is dope. They’ve got some really good dark jazz / breakcore tracks
He’s a good friend of mine.
downloaded. just downloaded this too, experimental

I dig that a lot.
And moths is very on brand for DSF
Some pretty cool stuff. They don’t have much stuff out yet, but I’m intrigued.
Went to a concert yesterday, a DJ friend who played before/after it invited me and put me on the list.

Super trippy tribal trance vibes.
The whole EP by these guys has been released now.
Alva Noto is on another level at the moment. The Hybrid series has been so good. This one off III which just released… beautiful
Very unsettling
The first version of Disseminate on this album was performed by a 60-piece orchestra in Ostrava, Czech Republic consisting of the Ensemble OCNM and members of the Janáček Philharmonic. From his earliest compositions, Niblock was interested in creating microtones through the sheer number of tracks involved as well as through carefully calibrated intervals. That idea is taken to extremes here: the 60 instruments involved begin in unison on a sustained D note before gradually diverging, creating one of the densest but most dynamic drones of Niblock’s career.
Norwegian folk-prog-jazz stuff, amazing. It’s a live video, even if it does not seem like it with that thumbnail. Reminds me both of the works of Tigran Hamasyan, even though his music is more “algorithmic”, and the band Snarky Puppy, somehow. Will buy the record when I can.
