However Plastika would not need any stamp: your ears are ready to swallow this poet ante litteram that chews digital hardcore, cantautore and do it yourself. Proudly self-produced in everything from texts to recording.
Plastika are 12 tracks of a continuous loading and unloading of energy, in the form of syncopated shots and more intimate and rarefied passages.
Approved with the stamp by In Your Ears Netlabel.
A system created to analyze reality and perception got its inputs removed because it was going out of control. This fix damaged the reality by feedbacking the system on its repercussions causing incorrect analysis until the dream of reality became a stream of negative numbers. The resistance against the system was initiated to prevent it from corrupting the perception of reality, even though, it was already shaping the perception the way it wanted to, because the reality did not favour the system.
Broken and syncopated stream of percussive attack, punching through disharmonic leftovers in reverberation, not welcoming you at all by constantly reminding of its continuously corrupting state.
Recorded Live at Sala La Fusa (Valparaiso), Chile on March 2019.
Drums: Israel Tenor
Alto Saxophone: Lucas Pizarro

Jean Ray is the sound project of pluridisciplinary artist Romain Arnette, based in Paris and initially formed in London in 2009.
Experimentation is at the heart of his creative process. He uses different instruments such as guitar, harmonica, percussions, also fields recordings to create a bank of textures and sounds that he transforms and manipulates. The superposition of these fragments combined with electronic sound sources and some software such as pool creates minimalist compositions, an enveloping sound mass where repetitive structures meet sometimes abstract rhythms.
“Le Refuge” album was composed at the end of a two-years stay in Canada, from 2017 to 2019. This album is marked by several isolation experiments in various natural environments, during his crossing of Canada from east to the west by the road.
It also reflects the gradual slowing down of time that allowed him to observe more precisely the environment in which he has evolved, and brought him to moments of deeper introspections.
All tracks recorded and mixed by Jean Ray.
Mastering by Jan Wysozky.

Part of the Lately Kind of Yeah archive series.
Gastr is yet another short but sweet EP offering from Lately Kind of Yeah. Fully in his element of noise / pop master craftsmanship and containing some of my favorite tracks from him, “Where is My Jaw” and “Meditate”. A fine place to begin with LKOY if you are just beginning to explore his archive.
Words from the artist:
“Sometime in 2014, an original B.C. Rich Warlock was gifted to me by one of my dad’s old buddies. I took it as a sign that out in the ether, my dad was still listening and encouraging me to keep writing music. The Warlock has since become a phenomenal inspiration with all of its quirks and issues, leading my writing towards a darker and more abrasive sound. Gastr came together quickly as our ‘getting to know each other’ exercise, influenced by the many noise and pop bands I was listening to, and the Warlock itself.”

Fábio Miguel “famifox” and Miguel Batista “nunex” in the artistic world known as “Studio BROS” two young guys living in the capital city of Portugal, Lisbon born and raised in Quinta do Mocho, from their teenage friendship they started to create and make music. From the start motivated in expressing their traditional African rhythm with electronic these two young producers started their journey back in 2007, following came their creation “Alto Nível Produções” an outcome from their hard work and creativity producing in their own bedrooms their passion for music pushed them to create various themes.
Their entrance on the record label Príncipe allowed them to gain experience and maturity, in their collective songs they participated in two compilations, the first one was for the Portuguese label Príncipe entitled “Mambos Levis D’Outro Mundo” and the second one was entitled “Carga” by the English record label Warp Records.
The duo has being recently reinforced with the recent project “Lendário” soon to be released in December 2018 this partnership with the label TAR, allowed the duo to expand their unique creation and authentic of the two young producers.
The two boys aim that with their themes and projects they are able to inspire young talents that are less fortunate and that don’t have much help, and be the living proof that music has no borders.

Leftovers is short release that confidently dives into rich loops of symphonic layers combined with distorted but controlled feedback punctuated and dictated by slow pulsating kicks and other low-frequency detritus – a mixture that manages to be dynamic and relaxing at the same time.
In fact, first track traverses number of various sonic configurations and intensities that inadvertently form a musical story without a clear start or end. After the dramatic depth of second track a short off-hand piano intermezzo clearly breaks the pattern and leads to a low-key digital debris with subtle dystopian murmurs and echoes in the background in the final track.
Written and recorded by a Slovene musician, guitarist, illustrator and designer this short sliver of sonic exploration, despite its briefness, represents one of the more adventurous musical excursions on our label.
