Club Furies Review | Senguele for the night, the DJ and the clubbers: Mexxita presents her second release; Ali X and Nessa

After a hot debut, comes the second release from the new Mexican label Mexxita, led by our beloved Pvlomo. Ali X — the gentleman of the new Mexican techno, co-creator of Controlla, and part of the mythical Azari & III — makes his debut on Mexxita with Senguele, which he also presents in collaboration with Nessa —a mysterious artistic project. A Latin techno bomb, with all the essence of what is…

306: Jardín // Maqui de hierro

Maqui de hierro Jardín 2005, Self-released (Bandcamp)

Peru’s Buh Records was the subject of a lavish Pitchfork feature last year, which introduced me to a lot of cool Latin American avant garde artists on the label’s roster. Most of their releases that I’ve checked out have been ‘70s-era reissues, but one that jumped out at me was a late ‘90s to early ‘00s noise/techno duo called Jardín. In the piece, the label’s founder Luis Alvarez says meeting them “opened up a whole musical universe that I didn’t know. Jardín’s music was like an epiphany for me.” You can tell from the way Alvarez talks about them, and the gushing liner notes on this 2019 reissue of their third/fourth (the liners can’t decide which) cassette release from 2005, that he has a personal investment in keeping their memory alive—the kind of heart’s fav that makes someone start a label in the first place. I think anyone who has spent time in an art scene has their own archive full of brilliant unknowns, artists who maybe ruled the city for a year before fizzling out, people who dazzled at open mics and then got a full-time job at Shopify, leaving no publishable utterances behind.

So, I had a degree of preloaded affection for the band before I even listened to them, but I’m happy to second Alvarez that these guys ruled. Hard electronic that sorta sits on the border between techno and power noise, the liners make reference to the influence of Andean Indigenous drumming and the use of ocarinas (originally a Mesoamerican instrument) but I don’t find that Maqui de hierro (Iron Maqui, a type of Chilean berry) reads as explicitly “ethnic fusion” music. If I were listening blind, I’d’ve likely guessed they were German, Spanish, American, or even Montreal’s own before getting down the atlas to Peru—actually, I’d probably have given up, told you they were extremely sick, and then pulled my hoodie up and kind of bobbed up and down in place while staring at the ground.

Recorded mostly live or in their studio space, these are roiling concrete and metal constructions. The opening tracks are the most conventionally danceable, percolating techno rhythms and warlike bass drones kicking it beneath an upper atmosphere of slashing static and endless delay. “Perfume de ceniza” (“Ash Perfume”) in particular goes extremely hard, with this thrilling rill of digital distortion in its midst that sounds like a laser shark’s fin sheering through an ocean of metal. Both LP sides gradually descend into harsher, more experimental murk, still rhythmic though the irregular beats are now localized on a singular position, like a malfunctioning compressed air hammer trying to batter a crooked plate flat. I have to imagine Jardín played this stuff live at ear-bleeding volume, but with the stereo knob in your own hand at home you’re free to enjoy the wild variety of textures they tease out of their ratking of pedals, switchboards, and wires. The 15-minute “Serpientes de humo” reveals their Latin influences most clearly, with spooky ocarina trills like forlorn bird calls and some ritualistic percussion passages peeping through the maelstrom.

Kudos to Buh for keeping the memory of a cool project alive—highly recommend adventurous listeners take a trawl through the rest of the label's catalogue, there are a ton of gems to discover.

Albums of 2023 part 3

And - continued from part 2 - some more! This one does what it says on the tin. Levon Vincent knows the old chestnut "dancing about architecture" is accidentally profound: this is 11 pieces of holy four dimensional architecture exquisitely designed for your body to move through.

It's been a great year for old school BRAINDANCE, in no small part thanks to Mighty Force records releasing thick and fast, and this from Kams, straight out of Beckenham, is the best - just warm-hearted, melodic, acidic, danceable, classic electronica.

My old mucker Culshaw is a scholar, a gent, an adventurer, and on the sly a great musician. This comeback to the studio is MAGIC - global and spiritual and incidentally Balearic in a Jose Padilla sense - but its connections are based on highest common factors, never dully fusioneering.

Just fries my mind that Boris seem to get creatively hungrier and angrier with every passing year. This collab brings in all sorts - goth, thrash, synthwave - but what I really love is the unironic POWER METAL energy. Music to be struck by lightning to.

It's been an incredible year for electropop - and this album from producer turned singer songwriter Avalon Emerson is the *sweetest* of the crop, lighter than air, a gentle digital dream, but with surreptitious emotional heft. Reminds me a little bit of millennium era Morr Music, Tarwater etc? Must listen as a whole: it draws you in and in....

Even heavier than the Boris, and the record that made me fall in love with grindcore all over again - had to order the vinyl even given transatlantic premium. Nepalese band in New York Chepang TAKE. NO. PRISONERS. HUURUUUURURRGGHGHHH.

I was NOT expecting this from Anhoni - but I'm a sucker for Muscle Shoals style country-soul grooves, and though they risk getting "a bit Jools Holland", here they're delivered with total assurance plus the bleakness of the lyrics, fierceness of delivery and a few noises moments all adds some serious edge.

More electropop - this one from Jessy Lanza is not a million miles from the Avalon Emerson in its pristine futurist sound, but it's a bit spikier, eerier, like she is setting puzzles for you.

My most played record of the year. Like the Culshaw, a bit Cafe Del Mar in the most urbane possible sense - Sissoko & co's blend of jazz, classical, W African & European folk is done with unbelievable poise and emotion and is completely addictive.

This has been all-conquering this year and rightly so. It's not just the fearsome doom bits, it's the straightforward folk that's great: Lankum remind us of dreadful, beautiful paradoxes of being human that don't really change through the centuries.

Paul Simon says this was written in dreams, and it really sounds like it. Genuinely transporting, surreal, gorgeous and - I have to say it - roughly 10,000,000 times more interesting than anything Bob Dylan has done this century.

Completely UN-deconstructed trance... the way Romy taps into the melancholy of the most globe-conquering of 90s pop dance is something quite special and will serve as a real cynicism test... go on, let it twang your heartstrings!

I've kind of idly admired King Krule's music from a distance previously but that changed last year - he really is something special eh? Way more than the sum of influences, and a proper world-builder.

One of many where I missed the promo at the time (sorry PRs) but then discovered it via my sp****y recommends. Just beautiful post-classical, post-ambient musing music from Audrey Carmes that sounds like austere but lovely perfumes and crisp clean cotton.

Of course death is at the heart of Depeche Mode's music so how tragic but appropriate that it took Fletch's death to turbocharge them creatively. This is like a telescoping together of their whole history - but also still in love with new sounds...

More death, more darkness, with Amy Winehouse serving as a dark angel muse drawing together and crystallising the ambient, abstract and dream cabaret influences Kevin Martin has been incubating in his solo KRM albums since 2019. Crushingly sad and great.

Espec after seeing him rock it in the morning at We Out Here, I do feel like Joshua Idehen is in danger of becoming a late-blooming star, you know. Explicitly connecting David Byrne, Mike Skinner, Maxi Jazz and a finger-jabbing Nigerian preacher, he ROCKS.

Yes, Yussef Dayes really is all that and a packed of Pickled Onion Space Raiders. Brit jazz just seems to have been in a consistent triumphant state these last five years or so and there's no sign of it stopping being that way with albums like this still coming.

Ben Howard is an artist who'd completely passed me by despite being really quite big - but again the sp****y algorithm brought me this and it's really amazing, thought provoking, grown up pop. I *instantly* guessed it was Bullion on production too, no lie. ❤️

I've said for a long time that "mumble rap" has deep atavistic echoes of the blues and psychedelia - and here's the mumbler in chief Lil Yachty joining the dots back through the decades. Funkadelic, Hendrix, Beck, Outkast, BUTTHOLE SURFERS? Yeah it's all here. Not saying it's one those levels, but it's great and

Holy shit is Dot Allison on a roll or what? This is effectively 2021's Heart Shaped Scars growing in all directions: bigger, grander, more cosmic, even more beautiful. The partnership with Hannah Peel as arranger is front and centre and works incredibly.

Alright it's not as unique as Bad Bunny's 2022 masterpiece Un Verano Sin Ti - this is more trap, less overtly "Latin" - but it's really, really good. Sometimes not knowing the language can emphasise the emotion in the sound: the blues in the trap, the Spanish derived "tristeza"...

My fave Villalobos moments are often him working his wonky magic on "real" instruments and songs (see his Tony Allen / ECM reworks) so a whole album of him tweaking A Mountain Of One's Balearic soft rock is a real treat. Gets progressively "more Ricardo" as it goes on.

I love how Young Fathers have become such a beacon of what a "big festival band" CAN be when it broadens its influences out and grooves a bit. This album is such a big step up for them, and I really hope they keep this momentum because it's BIG FUN.

And talking of Scots "big festival bands" with diverse influences pushing the envelope and having fun with loading in more pop, dance, rap etc, The Djangos really went to town on this one and I was surprised not to see it getting more hype. A proper weird and wonderful party of an album.

Okayyyyyyyy last part is here, get stuck in!

See you there, party animals! maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Honor/164/122/3555 Salsoul music is a genre of dance music that originated in the late 1970s in New York City. It is characterized by its use of Latin percussion and disco-style arrangements, and is often referred to as "disco-salsa." The term "Salsoul" comes from the name of the record label that popularized the genre, Salsoul Records. The label was founded by brothers Joe and Ken Cayre in 1974, and quickly became one of the most important outlets for dance music in the US. Salsoul music was heavily influenced by the disco sound that was popular at the time, but also incorporated elements of Latin music such as salsa and mambo. Some of the most famous Salsoul artists include the Salsoul Orchestra, Loleatta Holloway, and First Choice. Salsoul music had a significant impact on dance music as a whole, and helped to pave the way for later genres such as house and techno. Today, Salsoul music is still enjoyed by dance music fans around the world, and continues to influence contemporary dance music production.
