BKS-08 has landed in NYC! Our 8th installment arrives from outside with more unexpected debuts and riotous returns to form. Experienced Barcelonian Larry Lan’s @from_larry epic 9-minute opener ‘WTNG’ is minimal goes post-punk, repurposing well-known, undisguised lyrics into an aggressive take on early Perlon and explanation enough for his recent album drop on Cadenza. BKS vets N/UM @numlive return with ‘A Free Woman in Queens’ showing off a reduced side of their sound adjacent to mid-00s minimal with plenty of character, its stripped intro giving way to a fuller, dubbed-out second half, with the cheeky vocal and instrumental touches joined by a swelling pad. Featuring spoken vox from Mari Blue @_mariammoss and the debut of BKS co-head Asha Jasz @asha_jasz alongside DeWinter @dewinterlive and Jay Prouty @jayprouty , ‘Acid in Your Coffee’ takes the dirtier route, with layers of zapping electronics, an insistent single-note acid bass, and synths drifting between tones and textures all veering off like its vocals before eventually returning to center. LA/Bucktown scallywag $coe @lilsco3x_ brings it home with ‘The Devil is a MF Liar’, an acid jam whose profanity-laced vocal samples don’t require divine intervention to decipher. Bookended by a pair of interludes, the first on the power of repetition and the last in memoriam of BK legend Big Sexy in his own words, and again featuring striking artwork from NYC muralist legend Fumero @fumeroism , BKS keeps that Sway from going astray. Available worldwide on March 13 at your favorite online retailers thanks to @triplevisionrecorddistribution and locally by hitting us up or your favorite brick and mortar very soon. 🖊️: @sinisterra.presents 🎨: @fumeroism Original BKSway Logo: Cern

N/UM’s “A Free Woman in Queens” lands on BKS-08, a beautiful and understated minimal jam, its stripped intro giving way to a fuller, dubbed out second half, with cheeky vocal and instrument touches joined by a swelling pad. This is N/UM’s second release on BKS, they previously appear on BKS-04, and we couldn’t be more honored to have them. 🎥: @classynathan BKS-08 is available at all fine online retailers worldwide thanks to @triplevisionrecorddistribution and locally soon here in NYC. DM us for a copy if you’re local!

Official Visualizer drop! In May 2024, electronic trio @numlive invited free jazz legend @danielcarter_nyc to record this live session. As the sun set over a Brooklyn warehouse, decades of underground New York jazz fused with contemporary synthesis to create ‘Sphera’, a daring journey through generations of improvised music.’ 🎥 Music video by @finkelben Viewpoint Video, Washington DC. 🍄 Watch full-length video in 4k 🔗 in bio
