TR/ST
Formed in 2009 along with collaborator Maya Postepski, Trust released its first singles, "Candy Walls" and "Bulbform," on Brooklyn-based Sacred Bones Records in 2011 before signing with Arts & Crafts for the 2012 release of debut full length, TRST.
Since 2011, Trust has performed with DFA1979, Crystal Castles, Austra, Balam Acab, Glass Candy and Hercules and Love Affair and garnered glowing praise from top international critics at Pitchfork, VICE, The Guardian UK and many more.
Trust's Tales of lust, wax, and erotomania carry along on a dense black vapor of speed, space and tears.
Trust is a pop hit factory buried deep in the mud.
According to the Guardian, "Wesley Eisold is an absolutely new, young god of nihilism and despair – he brilliantly captures Cold Cave's aesthetic: the Morrissey of How Soon Is Now wailing over Nitzer Ebb beats and New Order melodies."
According to Eisold, if anything, his music reflects what it feels like to live in the present. Eisold, whose baritone is as rich and resonating as that of Phil Oakey, Nick Cave or Iggy Pop, says "Of course we love the lineage of the genre, early experiments with machines to convey human emotion; the marriage between pop and industrial music. At the time it was documenting the early stages of a new world, and we are recording what it feels like to be alive in that world."

Ing Ing (Variation 3) is an experiential tonal composition that merges time and space, proprioception and movement. Utilizing open-ended drones and acoustic beating, its installation space becomes an interactive 3D album; the choice of movement and composition are in the hands and minds of each individual listener, as they sculpt their own experience in space.
Ben Glas is an interdisciplinary artist and composer based in Portland, Oregon. Glas' work focuses intently on egalitarian proprioception, stasis/rush within digital systems, and notions of spacetime. Working extensively with sine-waves and unconventional softwares, Glas engages physical spaces and their ephemeral inhabitants to remind participants of a momentary sonic awareness within space and time.

2524 SE Division St
Superfab is a design lab and fabrication house driven by craftsmen who think fluently in the languages of Architecture and Design. Wielding tools both new and old, we produce exceptional custom work in production level scales and orders of one, alike.
Over the last 30 months, we’ve produced both an exceptional amount of good work and a considerable lot of off-cuts, rejects and goof-ups in the process - materials which most of the time end up at a landfill somewhere far, far off-camera. Not being big fans of waste, we’ve saved piles and piles of these materials and this summer, the time has come to turn them into good things instead.
With the help of a select group of our favorite designers and makers we’re going to do just that and sell these good things at a late-summer Saturday parking lot party at our shop on SE 26th & Division Street. Proceeds from all sales will be split between the makers and our chosen charity, the one and only XRAY.FM. So come Saturday, Sept. 3rd, join us to collect a cool thing or two and take in some tasty food, cold drinks and good vibes from XRAY DJs in the process.
Featuring Designers: Nicholas Musso, Jason Rens, OMFGco, Mike McCoy, Brian Pietrowski, Nate Shapiro, Travis Edgar, Liam Drain; upstarts Conor Davidson, Sam Tucker & Cole Lendrum; plus Andy Powell, Dave Collins and the rest of team Superfab..

SEMI//DEMI imagines an alternative transmission vehicle. In it, the artist is a conduit - a singular vessel through which particular identity narratives, chthonic frequencies, and sociocultural platforms are conflated, decontextualized and re-imagined. The premise of one body situating many functions and therefor, multiple realities - can be seen as a tangent to many works. For example, Holly Go Lightly can be seen as a recent example of an avatar or simulation narrative as much as Prometheus can be or the monster of Frankenstein - when examined as the journey of one vessel to reach for an identity outside of its own imagined parameters. SEMI//DEMI is about the sympathetic vetruvian man, more or less, through which the artist posits transmission to and from his own reality. Similar to the central character of Jane Wagner’s “Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe,” a transient woman named Trudy, who transmits to different feminist narratives in the conflated experiences of second wave feminism and the early aids crisis via a collander on her head, the artist simulates a possession narrative through which particular experiences are indicated or more resonant.

Marcia Bassett (Double Leopards, Zaïmph) and Samara Lubelski (Thurston Moore band) return with 110 Livingston. This is the second album from this weighty pairing of two of America's most audacious psychedelic drone proponents, following the stunning Sunday Night, Sunday Afternoon, released in 2012 on Graham Lambkin's label Kye. Bassett's guitar processing squashes otherwise raging howls into densely packed tones of feedback wail, and blends with Lubelski's long violin voyages into the drone zone to form a combination that's wondrous to behold. One side-long trip and three shorter but nevertheless expansive explorations of black magic meditation. Live visuals by: Mia Ferm (Cinema Project).

Origin stories can be fundamentally boring by nature, packed with non-essential details and overly stressed homilies to roots and influences. But the core nature of an artist that has produced some of the most beloved and emotionally-infused electronic music of this decade is deeply rooted in the constant desire to return to where his musical world began.
Gold Panda's first album 'Lucky Shiner' was written in a matter of weeks in the Essex countryside and titled after his impossibly-brilliantly named Grandmother, who is Indian by birth but a resident of Chelmsford since the late 1960s. Along the way she even ended up gracing the cover of a music magazine with Gold Panda in 2010.
His second album 'Half Of Where You Live' was written while living in Berlin for a couple of short years, but became to be a record that was about everywhere except that place he never identify as home. Gold Panda's third, and, for the sake of adhering to both truth and biographical tradition, his best album so far, squared the circle. Inspired into being while visiting Japan, the music was once again composed and recorded back in Chelmsford. This time, he was living with his Grandmother, Lucky Shiner, having created a small studio area in their house. Derwin set about spending 18 months piecing together 'Good Luck And Do Your Best' from the hundred or so tracks that he would begin composing and then either discard, keep or repurpose.
As a musician that has enjoyed both the acclaim and also the cognitive confusion of touring the world and selling out shows in LA, New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, Paris, London and many places in between, The past few years have seen Gold Panda concluding that the core of his life and resulting comforts are rooted at home. Driven by destinct desire for normalcy and structure, it's something that he feels he achieved while making this record. "I mean, probably most 35 year old people don't live with their Grandmother", he laughs, "but I could lead a somewhat normal daily routine. Which I really missed."
Stepping back two years though, the inspiration for the record and its creation are two distinctly different things. "Good Luck And Do Your Best' was initially planned to be something else entirely. Early in 2014 Derwin set out back to Japan for the first of a pair of trips -- the latest of many visits to the place he holds most dear. This time a photographer, Laura Lewis, accompanied him as Derwin's plan was to collect both audio -- field recordings from his trip across the country -- and visuals, with Laura tasked to capture what they saw and encountered together. The idea was to be able to put together something other than a traditional record; a sight and sound documentary of his time there, but the expedition ended up being the basis of a new record.
It began with an album title. "Halfway through the first trip we bought rail tickets and rode across the country and went to Hiroshima". Derwin explains. "One afternoon we had taken a taxi, and as we got out, the Japanese taxi driver's parting words to us as we left, in English, was 'good luck and do your best'.
"It was [the driver] speaking in English. He didn't know English that well, but there's a Japanese phrase called 'ganbatte kudasai'. And roughly translated, it basically means 'do your best', or it can also mean 'good luck'."
As a result of that chance interaction, Derwin says, he had the title for an album as well as a starting basis. "once you have a title, for me, things come together a lot easier for what it's going to be." Struck by the phrase, he ended up being led by the experience to make a record that was, to him "quite motivational, quite positive."
Sonically, Derwin characterised the record by way of the visual inspiration he took from his Japanese trips. "I went over twice. Once in April, once in October, and they're the best times to visit, because the weather is calm -- it's not too hot or too cold. In April the cherry blossoms are out so it looks beautiful, and there's lots of festivals and places to go. October is great because the leaves are starting to change. It's just a good-looking country."
"The album was recorded at home in Chelmsford, but I had that visual inspiration or documentation from Japan. So it was a look back. If you go in those months, Japan has this light that we don't get here. It's hard to explain. You know how LA has this dusk feeling? -- that orange light that makes the place glow, and the neon signs? Well, Japan has this... at certain times of the year, It has this filter on stuff. So when we went the first time, there was a lot of pink and green colours -- pastel-y pinks and greens. Mainly the buildings and cars and the people, and I think Laura captured those colours really well.
Those sights and colours translated to a record that differs notably from his previous album, 'Half Of Where You Live'. Whereas that record was occasionally taut, perhaps harder and more piecing, the 11 songs that comprise 'Good Luck And Do Your Best' have a distinctly warmer palate, one that echoes 'Lucky Shiner' a little more, albeit with a clearer range of sounds, and also, to Derwin's mind, one where "the tracks aren't popping out against each other. It's a [complete] record."
"I was initially worried about not having that connection between the tracks", he confides. "I made the last two albums in a fairly short period of time -- the first one was a couple of weeks, the second one was a couple of months. This was made over the period of a year or maybe more." The longer recording period lead to his concern that "I wouldn't be able to make tracks that went together, but actually it was better, because I could find the ones -- maybe that one in every ten -- that fit, because you would always return to a certain style."
"You don't control the music you make, he continues. "The tracks need to reveal themselves, or something needs to reveal itself to you, by making the track. So over the course of making 100 tracks, eventually the album you're going to make is revealed through listening back to them and finding the ones that go together. You get a sound that reveals itself to you."
Derwin pauses to consider the process, before adding, "personally I don't think I can choose to make records how I want." But you've tried? "I always try to", he smiles wryly.
Having finished recording his album, Derwin took the songs to fellow musician and producer Luke Abbott, wherein Luke "made it sound good, he put it into his magic smelter", Derwin laughs. Mixing it at Luke's studio, which similar to Gold Panda's place of work, resides in his parent's house in Norwich, reinforced the nature of the record in Derwin's mind. "It has a homely feel. The tracks were made at home and they were mixed at Luke's studio, so throughout the process, there's always been access to family and your local surroundings. And banana bread."
An artist's desire to change or reinvent themselves and their sounds, or to work beyond their original musical scope is a time-honoured tradition amongst musicians and no differently, is something that Derwin has considered and ultimately, had to make peace with.
"It's a curse and blessing because, your music always sounds different to you in your head and you think it's going to sound great. And then you have to face what you've made", he grins. "But then you look at in another way -- no-one else could make the music I've made, I don't think. I'm not sure anyone else would make those tracks in the way that I've made them. In that way it's good.
After seven years of trial and error, and having discovered that the best way he could make music was by doing so rooted in the place where he always felt most familiar with himself, does Gold Panda see his long term future where he is now? "I don't think so", he muses. With Chelmsford. I don't love it, but I do feel really comfortable there. I don't know if will ever be 'gentrified' it's already too expensive to be gentrified. I don't think it can be rescued. It's fucking dull. You'd think somewhere so close to London would be more affected by that, but I don't know how it's avoided it. It's in it's own cultural bubble."
"I don't think I'll be there when I'm sixty, but then I'm assuming I wouldn't want to live in London anymore either... but maybe not. Perhaps I could live in Soho. I could live out my last years in vice. Full of sin and drinking", he laughs, shaking his head.

Jack Adams, better known as MUMDANCE, is an artist defined by an appetite to explore and unite music of different tempos, backgrounds and eras - and one who is rightly regarded as one of the UK's most crucial DJ/producers.
After first cutting his teeth working across various strands of more upfront, club-focused output in the mid-00s - including a brief spell under the tutelage of US super-producer Diplo - Mumdance started to embrace the full, widescreen scope of his musical influences, writing records that would span everything from hardcore to techno to grime.
Finding a sparring partner in Logos - a producer with a shared appreciation of dance music in its most abstract forms - Mumdance was soon running with ideas that challenged as much as they intrigued, a sentiment backed up by the release of inadvertent comeback record, 'Springtime' (released by UTTU), in 2012. Sugary, giddy and euphoric, it welcomed him into a buzzing scene of producers intent on treading their own path through club music - and gave Mumdance the perfect place from which to challenge its dynamics as he saw fit.
Releases with Rinse, with whom he has also hosted a monthly radio show since 2013, and most crucially, XL, were soon to follow in 2014 and 2015 respectively, as well as excursions with Pinch's Tectonic label and a new joint venture with Logos - the excellent Different Circles imprint, which birthed the "weightless" subgenre of electronica. It was 2014's 'Take Time' though - a collaboration with fierce young spitter, Novelist - that fully took the UK underground by storm and positioned Mumdance as a key player in the UK's club scene, as well as winning him plenty of fans within grime's blossoming instrumental framework.
A series of further highlights have also punctuated a hectic few years; an inaugural fabriclive CD, the rise of abstract, drone-inspired live act, The Sprawl, which he works on with both Logos and Shapednoise, tours of Europe, North America and Asia, numerous festival appearances and a number of collaborative projects that saw Adams record with local artists across Brazil, Mexico, Egypt and Japan, where he also joined forces with acclaimed video game producer Yuzo Koshiro, Shaangaan Electro prince Nozinja, Cumbia mogul Toy Selectah & Egyptian Maharagant Mc Sadat
Although complex, these various threads to Adams' career are a testament to not only his ear for sound, but hard work - all of which is motivated by a desire to leave a lasting mark on the musical landscape.
