Slovenian label Kamizdat is offering up a track from its latest compilation for download.
Kamizdat is a “free-form boutique label for creative commons music” that focuses on local artists. The label’s releases explore a wide range of styles and genres, from fast and gritty Eastern-European techno to textural ambient and more free-form electronics, often packaged in locally-made and unique hand-numbered limited physical editions.
The label’s latest release, a 10-rack compilation titled FCKXMS, pulls together a collection of tracks from Slovenian artists whose music celebrates our current timeline, one “of laughter and despair, the gifts and discounts, the unavoidable consumerism and devastating trickle-down economics.”
Across the release, the music can be fierce and frenetic, like Blaž’s “Fuck Berghain,” but also tender, such as ala percula’s “digression20,” which is the cut being offered as today’s EDMjunkies download.
Out of all the 10 artists, ala percula is the anomaly, a mysterious and enigmatic figure, or group, that is unknown even to the label head, Domen Učakar, who told EDMjunkies he personally knows “everybody on the compilation except that act.” The track is fittingly peculiar and ethereal, dancing nimbly across its six-minute runtime like a living organism birthing alien-like sounds and textures.
“digression20” is available as a download to EDMjunkies+ subscribers below, with the full compilation available to purchase here.
