Loopsnake

LOOPSNAKE RETURNS WITH DEBUT LP "SHAPE CHANGE BLACK ALERT" As Saturn conjuncts Neptune at the very first degree of the zodiac, this ancient ghost of the Eora electronic underworld returns. In the 2000s and 2010s, his FBi Radio show Liquid Electric championed emerging local electronic acts working in heretofore undiscovered genres, informing his sprawling, shapeshifting debut. Shape Change Black Alert draws deep from his cavernous archives, presenting relics of lost collaborations as glimmers of refracted hope. In this distant past, he'd shared stages with Seekae and Rufus Du Sol. He's remixed artists like Collarbones and Cherry Rype. Can you hear these echoes in his new release? Shape Change Black Alert meanders through these clubland ruins. Is it IDM you can actually dance to? Dancefloor wreckers for DJs who have the gall to play the game on hard-mode? Or is it just the long shadow of a man with a laptop? Recorded in exile, the album is willfully unmoored electronica with a backbone of UK bass, slithering between prismatic joy and occult claustrophobia. The lead single 'Sometimes (club)' is a mutated footwork ballad that once served as the destructive closing track to his genre-obliterating live shows. Loopsnake remains lost under a desert sky. Some say they've seen him counting jewels for the Sultan, or wandering the glittering dunes with nothing but his headphones and the clothes on his back. But they say he's doing well. He wishes, no doubt, that he released this album years ago. But as they say, the second best time is now. LOOPSNAKE - SHAPE CHANGE BLACK ALERT - OUT EVERYWHERE Feb 20.

I'm thrilled to tell ya that a tune from my upcoming debut album Shape Change Black Alert will be getting a spin on @triple_j_unearthed on Spiral - the brand new experimental music program hosted by @tommyfaith . In my extremely humble opinion, this new show fills an important gap in the national music media landscape, shining a light on Australian artists that don't fit neatly into genre pigeon holes, and maybe even push a few envelopes. Last week's debut was a blinder and I'm stoked to be on episode 2. Support local music. Keep Australia weird. Listen to Spiral (unflattering sweaty jetlagged selfie for the algorithm)

Debut album: Feb 20. (finally)

Expat glamour (Pistachio Cornetto)

Love to throw on a sludge metal t-shirt and spend $100 on fig scented candles and pistachio body wash. Makes me feel punk as fk.

It's been a while since I've posted on the grid so here's a candid pic my wifey took of me wearing a lavender hat, probably looking at other hats on Depop. New music soon probably, idk. I've got literally four hours of stuff mastered and ready to upload, and I'm really happy with all of it, but I can't decide what to drop first. Classic analysis paralysis. Anyway, nice to see you 🤘

Fitting for the times that my penultimate remix single has this line: The city’s coming down We’ll burn it to the ground We’ll never end up found You see the worst abuse It’s coming thru the news It folds back into you “don’t wait” - reimagined by @loopsnake as a moody, sprawling 10-minute club banger - out next Friday 7/11. This remix is delicious. Link in bio.
