His Name Is My Name

Winner of the Special Jury Award for Creative Technology at the 2022 International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, His Name Is My Name is an Instagram-based animated documentary series from JONGSMA + O’NEILL that explores how the crimes of WWII-era perpetrators still reverberate through today’s society, shaking the foundations of our homes and our families. Part detective thriller and part personal visual essay, His Name Is My Name tracks Eline Jongsma’s investigation into her family’s history, and shines a light into a still-dark corner of Europe’s past.

Acquiesce

Richly textured and angsty exploration of “relinquishing control in an absurd cosmos where chaos reigns supreme,” Acquiesce leads off with Also Surreal, a raw and aggressive industrial EBM / techno track, followed by Lunar FOB, which imagines a near future in which Earth’s moon is being colonized by various nations, all competing for control of the surface, strategic locations and resources. The third track, Draw Me a Cat, is a lament for a lost friend, for lost childhood friendships and for their fading memories, and is followed by Flutter, a richly textured, contemplative track with undulating synth bass beneath syncopated beats and percussion. Acquiesce is concluded by Turtle Hill, a sentimental and nostalgic homage to a particular space and time of transformational physical and spiritual healing, and rebirth.

It's a Long Way Back to Sunset

The debut EP from Daze Gates, was made during a time in which the artist battled severe and sustained insomnia and acute accompanying delirium. Each track attempts to capture the varying stages of delirium experienced. Ambient soundscapes dance around heavy synth atmospheres, encapsulating a range of styles including minimal electro and house to industrial EBM. The limited edition cassette tape is arranged in such a way that it flows seamlessly from start to finish, with no breaks between tracks on side A, and with side B including prolonged, and arguably disturbing, ambience that is not included in the digital release. Each copy of the cassette tape includes a physical component that eludes to the struggles faced during this period of insomnia and delirium.

Goose

A laid-back and self-reflective piece of sonic escapism, with thick pulses of synth bass layered with lush, bubbling and percolating pads, glassy FM synthesis and thoroughly driven home by an uptempo groove that tugs you into the unknown.

Composed and produced by Daze Gates in Glasgow, mixed by Ben Evolo in Amsterdam, mastered by Jon Astley in London.

Lift Off

The debut single from Akenbak. A celebratory yet brooding dub techno track that takes flight with a subtle, unrelenting tension that’s only softened by warm, vacillating chords, all the while undermined by a lurking acid-inspired bass groove.
