Interview af Alexander Julin Early Phrase er en ny festival arrangeret af labelet og koncertarrangørerne Twin Cities. Uden dogmatisk at undgå live-koncerter har Early Phrase ikke desto mindre fokus på den kontemporære dj-kultur og præsenterer mere etablerede såvel som nye og lovende navne fra både ind- og udland. Alt fra danske Alfredo 92 og Kasper Marrott til internationale navne, der skal understrege den ...

Asger Kudahl ”Sketches for Revolution” (Resonans Recordings, 2018) – review by Wieland Rambke Good old revolution! Can we even still imagine it? And how about the one that is most pressing and most urgent? Through the course of human history, revolution has meant the end of oppression: The casting-away of the yoke of submission. But today, a whole new revolution is needed: A revolution to end ...

By Wieland Rambke How do you create a space without a context? This question lies at the heart of new-founded experimental music label Disformation, conceived by Casper Gottlieb and Jesper Bagger Hviid of Copenhagen-based noise act GOHV. In its output, the label seeks to release music that pits itself against the very notion of context: Disformation rejects the creation of narratives as a whole. For the listener, ...
