Solar Skeletons & Fujako: destructo bass & doomish gospel from Belgium
Polyglot is a new projekt from the Radon Collective, Scott Nydegger's worldwide coalition of avant artists like the nomadic percussion ensemble Sikhara, Steve MacKay of the Stooges, Koonda Holaa, and the United Scum Soundclash supergroup (v1, v2).
Along with these Radon artists, the Polyglot Projekt recently introduced new sounds from Solar Skeletons, a freeform doomish industrial gospel duo consisting of Brussels Belgium's TZII + RIPITT. The slow-doom track features Kamilsky aka Koonda Holaa, and is sick as hell, meaning both NSFW and awesome, got a real "Wonderful Subdivision"/Thrones-y vibe.
I'm also really digging the dark-dub destructive hip-hop blasts of Fujako, a duo also based in Belgium. From Fujako's bio:
FUJAKO came out of the clash of Jonathan Uliel Saldanha and Nyko Esterle, two producers obsessed with echo and bass. The first one, raised in Portugal and part of the collectives Soopa and Mécanosphère, deals with sonic alchemy, and is also known as HHY. The second one, raised in France, part of the Radon collective and a rider of the sound waves, is also known as Ripit. Both met to summon music of unlooped hip-hop, filled with spectres of haunting dub and ecstatic scapes.
These three mashed to bits tracks demonstrate Fujako's knack for collaborations with a range of MCs, DJs, producers and remixers; if you dig these sounds check out Landforms, available via Angstrom Records
