Extra Noir Podcast

The balance is a little tilted toward new music on this episode, with recent tracks from Sault, Stranded, Yetsuby, Michael C. Sharp and Ana da Silva and Phew. We didn't forget the old stuff, though, and there's even an 8-minute psych jam from Hawkwind.

From the moment Salamanda started releasing individual tracks on Bandcamp last year, they quickly became one of our favorite Korean acts. Through hypnotic live shows, DJ sets and a steady stream of excellent releases, Salamanda have established themselves as some of the most interesting and original electronic artists in Seoul right now. We are very excited to share this mix, Sand Cake, that they prepared exclusively for Extra Noir.

“Michael.J.Foks” is an old friend from Tokyo whom we hadn't seen in 15 years until our recent trip there to celebrate the release of Kuunatic's Kuurandia EP. He is a resident DJ at Shibuya's well-established clubs “OTO” and “Organ Bar", and also plays selections from his extensive and eclectic vinyl collection at live band events and hotel lounges.

This mix is called "Spring to Spring", opening and closing with some seasonal lounge pop, and covering a lot of ground in between, including some oddball Latin selections, mysterious Asian pop and minimal electronics.

The Blue Lady's first EP is a nocturnal plunge into territories of anxiety, phobia and dread. Drawing on ambient, horror soundtrack and abstract hip hop influences, Frolic makes use of synthesizers and live instruments (drum machine, melodica, sampler) to bring this dark, interior world into the light.

It’s somewhat odd to think that something so commonplace, something that was once so integral to the subcultures in which we grew up and migrated between, would become worthy of its own exhibition. As the recent swell of interest in zines (artistic, academic and otherwise) has revealed, however, these products are often indispensable cultural artefacts. Few other media formats, especially from the pre-digital era, capture so concisely and directly a distilled subcultural moment. As we were assembling this soundtrack, we tried to take stock of the various zines that we had ever collected or contributed to. On the contribution side, the themes range from ska music to horror movies to skateboarding. As far as collecting goes, the diversity is even more radically expansive.

We’ve tried to reflect some of that diversity in this playlist, while making sure that the punk and DIY scenes of the late 70s and early 80s get the prominence that they deserve. This exhibition will surely challenge us to think more expansively about what zines are and can be. Hopefully its musical accompaniment will encourage some similar exploration into the independent, underground and DIY music scenes that are so closely entwined with zine culture.
