Come celebrate with us as we officially kick off this new chapter at @rand0m_sampl3
Many things to look forward to including new vinyl, new merch, in-store DJ sets, and some delicious matcha by @triage____
Only the warmest of welcomes to @lapi11i who has already begun to contribute so much to Subliminal Archives since recently stepping onto the scene as a co-collaborator.
We greatly look forward to what the future has in store and hope that many of you will enjoy and appreciate what we are doing as much as we enjoy doing it!
Stay tuned for more news tomorrow…
We have a very special store takeover from @anaffisanaff to celebrate our launch featuring 13 titles from their catalog!
Based in Montreal and run by @priori_tize and @adamfeingold__ , the label follows a cohesive thread of expansiveness across a diverse set of artists and genres. The listener travels through spaces of both cavernous, darker textures as well as brighter, ethereal skies. The interplay of shared musical elements across genres including techno, bass, rock, rap, dubstep, IDM, trance, and house is a joy to listen to. Listeners and DJs alike will find themselves unlocking new interests in tangential styles, and no doubt expanding their collection’s attitude. Be sure to join us tomorrow, Sunday from 7-11pm for our launch party!
Or stop by anytime Thursday - Sunday between 11-4pm to browse the selections!
Cheers!
🥂🕯️
We’re getting ready to host ya’ll for Subliminal Archives launch party Sunday! Don’t miss a rare opportunity to see this talented and diverse group of wax selectors on the same lineup ❤️🔥
Very thrilled to be stocking both issues of the @dance.data Underground Fanzine as well as physical copies of the very first @phaaser.world comp on CD.
“Dance Data Underground Fanzine is an archive of the present day in DIY underground music. The second issue peels back the visual architects who’ve molded the look and feel of the scene. A design index showcases prolific flyers, album covers and other objects from the last two decades. Also featuring: conversations with image makers rejecting the usual paths; sounds and spaces making people move across the globe; and, as always, people and opinions rebelling against capitalism and the commodification of music subcultures.”
Open today and tomorrow from 11-4pm.
You might know her as Inga Copeland — Lolina is the latest alias of former Hype Williams member Alina Astrova.
“Unrecognisable” -
is a story about a city where buildings are used as weapons in a war between the government and the people. The initial chapter, “Eiffel Shard”, was published as an online graphic novel with an interactive soundtrack (/unrecognisable/). It depicts a phone call between Paris Hell and Geneva Heat, two members of the resistance group Unrecognisable. During the call, Paris informs Geneva that a deadly building, The Shard, is now under the authorities’ control. What’s worse — the government also got hold of a secret building transformation plan developed by the resistance. Paris tells Geneva that the Unrecognisables decided to abandon the plan due to the number of civilian casualties it would inevitably cause. A series of intricate explosions would force the building’s glass surface to rip through the surrounding areas, destroying everything in its path and leaving only a pointed metal structure standing: an Eiffel Shard.
“Face The Music” -
Lolina’s sixth album is a short ‘n sweet swoon of tropical pop, jazz fusion, CDJ-mangled easy listening and psychedelic swingbeat, fronted by her surreal murmurs and perky poetic abstractions. RIYL Mica Levi, Smerz, Leila, ‘Around The World In A Day’-era Prince.
Hot on the heels of August’s jerky “Fast Fashion” comes another confounding madness from Lolina, aka Inga Copeland. Less abstract than its predecessor, “Face the Music” hews closer to Lolina’s Hype Williams-era songwriting, coating discernible songs in surrealist poetics and edgy pop subversion. The title track offsets bone dry programmed drums and electric piano improvisations with ritualistic chants; music that sounds like parody and deadly serious outsider art all at once.
Genres: Electronic, art pop, experimental, minimal synth
Throbbing Gristle - “20 Jazz Funk Greats” - LP
2017,
Mute
Genres: Industrial, experimental, noise, electro-pop, synth
No introduction needed. See for yourself why this 1979 classic still holds court as a staple in today’s arena of industrial, art-pop, power electronics, and noise.
Very pleased to announce the official launch of Subliminal Archives, a highly curated catalogue of records, cassettes, CDs and other media located in the shop upstairs at Random Sample.
You will now be able to purchase music by artists who live here and across the world, many who have played in our space before and many that we think you might want to know about if you fancy anything you’ve heard coming from our sound system.
The inventory is chosen with a more selective approach, focusing on specific pockets of music throughout time that reflect our own creative ethos we strive to maintain here at the space. One can expect to find things like free jazz, techno / house, experimental pop, electro acoustic and more…
Used items are also available for purchase. Buys are accepted as well if it’s the right sort of thing — email [email protected] if you would like to discuss.
On the floor: Fawn Soto, J.W. Bird / Kelby Clark, Arthur Russell, Throbbing Gristle, Tashi Dorji, Model 500, Dean Blunt, The Flying Lizards, Black Devil Disco Club…
