[Outside the club, Glasslands Gallery, Johnny Sagan of PENDU interviews Sasha and Alex of BLISSED OUT after their live performance for PENDU DISCO at Glasslands Gallery]

Johnny Sagan: Okay, so I’m here with my PEOPLES, Blissed Out. SO glad I didn’t miss your performance.

Blissed Out 1: Chill.

Blissed Out 2: Dark.

Johnny Sagan: Yeah…”a lickle darkah!” You guys killed it.

Blissed Out 1: Dark!

Blissed Out 2: Dark!

Johnny Sagan: Love it that you had sequencers and drum machines on stage! There was not a laptop screen in sight.

Blissed Out 1: Fuck that shit.

Blissed Out 2: I don’t own one! At this point, I wish I did.

Blissed Out 1: Hahaha.

Johnny Sagan: It would make things easier, to like organize all the files?

Blissed Out 2: In my home life, it would make things…more easy.

Blissed Out 1: Fucking touring on smartphones is hard.

Blissed Out 2: But it’s doable…

Blissed Out 1: You can’t listen to Myspace songs.

Blissed Out 2: It’s hard, though…

Johnny Sagan: No, that’s true! Like, someone’s like, “Listen to my shit…” Yeah.

Blissed Out 1: But yeah, we want a laptop for other stuff, but not for making music.

Blissed Out 2: For porn!

Johnny Sagan: Communication.

Blissed Out 1: It’s all about, like…it’s really important to have things that are, like, special…

Johnny Sagan: Dedicated to different…

Blissed Out 1: Dedicated to music!

Johnny Sagan: …functions, yeah.

Blissed Out 1: It’s like the idea that, like, someone could be on their, like, laptop talking to their friends on AIM, you know…

Blissed Out 2: And they could also be on…oh, on AIM, yeah!

Blissed Out 1: Yeah, and, like Tweeting, or whatever, while they’re making music. It’s like, no: it’s like you have these special objects that you use sort of ritualistically to come back and, like, Do That Thing. Which is music, you know?

The Official New Genre Terminology for the 20TEENS:

RAW CHOP/DARK SPINNERS/HOOD TROLL/TRASH BEAT/DEEP THUGG/CREEP CLUB/FRESH MEAT/R&BEAST/GHOST (RAP)E/WITCH BLOG/WITCH HOUSE/HYPER HOOD/NEU CLASSIK AMERICORE/DEATH DOTH/HTML HOUSE/ECTO DRONE/GAZE WAVE/MINIIMVL SLOPPED N’ SCREWED/GOTH ETC. AND SO ON

Although, Don’t cage this in. DJ Nate and Footwurk Trax are doing something all 2-REAL. Stylistically its branched outside of most contemporary styles and is a strange off kilter and darker brand of Juke. To categorize this, like many things, is an all together moot point and is best described as “Footwurk Trax”.
Check it out.

Minimal Trax Dragged & Slowed… back in 1985

Pendu Mag

2010

In this age of slowing it all down… chopping and screwing… dragging, throwing, and generally fucking with the music… It’s inevitable that someone will start chopping and dragging minimal synth trax…

Back in 1985, Belgian act, VITA NOCTIS, was slowing/dragging dark minimal trax on their own recordings… check out Against the Rule” from their album ‘Much Money…’

Really, since the beginning of record players, everyone has created that mutant sound on their own…. everyone at some point has put a 45rpm record on their turntable when they were a kid and played it at 33-1/3 giggling while freaking out to the scary and weird sounds… right?

Take a listen. The slow-down begins 2:58 into the track… enjoy!

Brilliant art direction in this ad campaign for 1980’s Japanese make-up line, Shiseiko’s “Inoui”. Elements of the occult minimalism, horror, fantasy, japanese classics, and goth cosmetixx fuse in to a truly creative series.

All this talk of DARK MUSIC in the air these days… well, it doesn’t get much darker or more fucked than this. Wisconsin’s MADDEN and Brooklyn’s own FOSTERCARE are making some of the bleakest dragged d/\rkb3/\t this side of Hell… Seriously, you don’t want to miss this. Tuesday Nite @ Glasslands Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. Check out more on this event and other upcoming events by PENDU :::: go to http://www.pendu.org/events
_________

Listen: MADDEN

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

“With african drumming, classical composition, chopped and screwed rap, reggae, delta blues, dub-step and even samba and idm the soundscapes MADDEN creates invoke emotional and spiritual response bringing the listener into a otherworldly realm that is inhabited by a powerful magic and a healing energy transforming the self into a shamanistic transcendental entity. Hailing from Madison, Wisconsin MADDEN has been moving audiences in dance clubs, galleries and festivals since their creation in early 2010.”

“Fostercare creates deeply personal and ritualistic electronic music and video art. With shoegazed walls of synth spiked with doomed 808 drums, hissing hi-hats and brutal handclaps, amidst a dirge of screwed vocals, glossolalia and whispers, Fostercare produces songs for lost souls.”
