Trip Lick’s (finally!) here on my archive and it’s worth the mf wait cos actual wizard weird-o @wonjwonj has formed from the dust of soil and dreams an hour to truly get lost and find yrself. hypnotic voices blushing noises in the grass. caught a glimpse of what it is and emotion fell underneath me like a trap door. gazed into dissonance, where it’s at. scene transmuted. sick as it is, sometimes we’re all just working 9-5 in someone else’s mind, back’s against the wall, waiting for a kangaroo court decision. make a wise one and listen up good to this sound-wonja turns dirt into soul. i stood on the balcony. ⁎✶ 𝓈𝓉𝓇𝒶𝓃𝑔𝑒 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝓁𝒹 now archived @nts_radio and my sc. link’s on my page [at 4:48: i lost the connection.]

OUT NOW ~~~ Seamstress Clock Remixes on CST Imprint In early 2025, Oakland-based artist Jerod S. Rivera released his second full-length project, Dot-Dash, featuring a collaboration with Cat Lauigan. From there, Rivera and CST reached out to friends across different scenes and cities, shaping those connections into a remix 12”. The mysterious dub/techno/leftfield mastermind behind False Aralia dives further into territory explored on iri.gram, uptempo and dancefloor-ready in a more maximal Perlon-ish way while still embracing a half-time dub feel. Philipp Otterbach (Music from Memory, Offen, RIO) goes deeper into the guitar zone he’s been exploring, channeling Earth 2, Boris, and the like for some heavy drone. Oakland duo DJ ML and Wonja adopt their Motoko & Myers moniker (Future Times, Soda Gong), zeroing in on some choice vocal snippets that mesh perfectly with a live drum break and bassline for a Seefeel-esque version that could have come from a 90’s UK studio. Slowfoam embraces the more experimental elements of the original with a remix that starts sparse and minimal but builds into a glitchy rhythmic climax. The release is rounded out with a bonus remix from Jon Carr, unleashing heavy, industrial-sludge rhythms. All tracks mastered by Chuck Johnson Except for “Mistress Clock Remix” mastered by Jon Carr Artwork by Jerod S. Rivera, photo in artwork by Wonja Fairbrother. Available on vinyl ~ euro distro through @rubadubgla and @rushhourmusic all US orders direct through us (shipping 1/21) and DL on bandcamp ~ Link in bio Stay tuned for the release party, details forthcoming ☄️
