[⚠️ strobe warning!] Announcing Fever Loop Fountain 4: Overstimulation Propaganda The evening will feature two short performances, each taking a different approach to overstimulation and sensory experience. Chloê Langford (Fantasia Malware) has invited guest artist Zane Hettinga to collaborate on the first performance of the night. “Hand in a Cave” follows the descent of a disembodied digital hand, crawling forward into the darkness, searching for sensory data in a computer-generated cave. Meanwhile on stage, a creature with cameras for hands probes the black box of the theatre, scanning for data to feed to its digital twin. The second performance features Fantasia Malware member Jira Duguid, who will present a new chapter of her episodic “Mirror Mall”. The video game is a world within a mirror, where two fools flee their duties in search of the celestial spheres. This immersive performance is a collaboration with composer and sound designer Kris Wratt. Tickets in bio - and almost sold out! Don't miss it. ⏰ 06.02.2025, 19:00 📍 HAU3, Berlin ⌛️ 60 mins. 🎫 Tickets 13€ / 8€ Booklets and Posters: @alpha_rats Producer: @dslvstrn

The Pleasure Majenta - All We Have Is Time This album is hard to put simply into a few words. It came naturally through a naked abstract stream but with definite intention and urgency. This album aimed to land us back on earth, to be able to speak and not only scream. To whisper our intensity and with no need to hide behind walls of noise or destruction. It's an album for some hope and life yet speaks of grief and process. It took over 2 years to complete to condense something that only happened over a few late nights. Please spend time with it, we hope it will continue to give and become a friend to you all. This has contributed to many, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts to you all. released by @thepleasuremajentanzl October 5, 2024 We are, once again, independent and self-contained. 180g 2mm 12" lathe-cut vinyl available cut with perfection one by one by @lathefabrik Limited to 50 copies 🖤 piano, guitar, vocal; @namesloz bass: @zeus_duuupree drums: @hecgremlin violin: @martharorose cello: @runarna alto saxophone: @aaron_lovich bass clarinet: @jaywhyl33 trumpet: @jacobscottpreston written and arranged by The Pleasure Majenta engineered and produced by @hecgremlin and @namesloz mixed by @namesloz summing by @fabsoundsgood Mastered by @lucky_bloke Painting by @namesloz Design by @_sunfear Photos by @didyoubringcandy TPM X

On Tuesday 7 November, 2023, a group of Aotearoa artists unite to release TAUTOKO G*ZA, a compilation of new and/or unreleased tracks to stand in solidarity with G*za and the occupied W*st B*nk. The artists on this compilation are horrified by the current situation in P*lest*ne and the recent escalation of violence by the Isr**li state. The genocidal blockade and repeated airstrikes have resulted in mass loss of civilian life on an unprecedented scale. These atrocities form part of a long legacy of forced displacement, which began under British imperialism and has continued under the Isr**li apa*the*d regime since 1948. We stand in solidarity with the struggle for Pal*st*nian liberation and join the calls for an immediate ceasefire and end to the illegal military occupation. There is absolutely no justification for the brutal crimes and genocide being carried out against the Pal*st*nian people. Available exclusively as a digital release via Bandcamp, all funds raised from the compilation will go to Medical Aid for P*lest*nians (MAP), an NGO working to support growing critical health needs resulting from Isr**l's ongoing bombardment and complete siege on G*za. This siege has dramatically escalated since October 7th, and we recognise that much of the aid is currently not entering the region. We therefore ask listeners to engage in a range of actions in solidarity. These include but are not limited to: • Writing to politicians and various cultural institutions urging them to call for an immediate ceasefire and sever diplomatic ties with Isr*el. • BDS - Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions. E.g. boycotting brands who have shown support for Isr**l (such as Starbucks, McDonalds and Disney). • Sharing online content made by Pal*st*nians to counter the pro-Isr**l bias in mainstream media coverage. • Contacting media organisations to challenge particular instances of misinformation and/or disinformation. • Joining and/or organising local rallies and protests. • Staying up to date with the latest calls for action. Released November 7, 2023 Mastered by Ike Zwanikken. Album art by Molly McLennan.

A few pics from our first performance as mutant duo @hecgremlin & @femme.boyant , which we had the pleasure to debut at @plastic_productions_ @molt.berlin last Friday🔗 Clawing their way out of binary creation myths and evolving always entangled in technology, these feral bodies are looking for possibilities of self-awareness, connection and joy within a post-postmodern jumble of ads, latex prosthetics, gameboy noises, neoliberal promises and mutant response-ability. 🤖🐒🪠🎚💦 Book us for your next weirdo show! pics by @robineturbine #cyborgmanifesto #noise #awkwarddragqueen

Here's the new plate reverb in action, all audio right off the mics with no effects!
