THE BLACK DOG – OTHER, LIKE ME

Posted on 2024-08-12

Sheffield techno experimentalists The Black Dog are again back on their Dust Science for a new LP entitled Other, While Me. Ken Downie’s run alongside the Dust (Science) brothers under The Black Dog moniker has now gone significantly longer than any other formation, the trio remain fearlessly inquisitive. A treatise of sorts on the pitfalls and triumphs of expression, Other Like Me’s dark, yet oddly soothing almost drone-metal like tones take self-doubt and misery head on in an effort to explore the spectrum of creativity. The album’s title is taken from a Cosey Fanni Tutti interview as well, placing this harshly introspective music in a long-standing continuum of industrial art.

JON HOPKINS – RITUAL

Posted on 2024-08-12

Jon Hopkins’ discography has tiptoed ever closer to the transcendental as his over two decade career has evolved. From the conceptual rave euphoria of Immunity, to the DMT-fuelled philosophy of Singularity, to the deep meditative ambience of Music For Psychedelic Therapy, spiritual and esoteric themes have crept into his classically informed, highly textural club productions. Where his last album pulled away from the dancefloor entirely, RITUAL returns with a new mindset, a syncretism of all his musical eras wrapped up into one.

SANDISK X POKÉMON

Posted on 2024-08-12

SanDisk has assembled its own Pokémon-based microSD cards for fans to enjoy.
The latest expansion of its licensed portfolio sees three separate designs created for three different memory capacities. Sticking to the original 151 Pokémon, it’s no surprise that Pikachu makes an appearance, with its face resting atop the 256GB option. From there, Gengar covers a purple card that offers 512GB while Snorlax rounds out the range with a smile as it lands on the blue-colored 1TB card. Read speeds go up to 100MB/s and write speeds max out at 90MB/s, ensuring a consistent flow of data.

NAKED X ADIDAS TISCHTENNIS AND SAMBA

Posted on 2024-08-05

Brought to life on the adidas Samba and Tischtennis, this collection is a tribute to the patient artisan; the tireless creator whose soul has become transfixed by the mastery of one beautiful art form. Inspired by the meticulous craftsmanship of lace weaving, our creation tells the story of tradition and family, through elegant lace designs. Brought to life in the lace pattern, the daisy, a symbol of purity, and love, is the perfect representative for this collection. A composite flower, its beauty comes from the fusion of two different seeds, a symbolic representation of the fusion between craftsman and their craft, to create wonders. Elegant, and ethereal, this collection has been made with love to inspire serenity, calm, and an appreciation for the heritage that makes all of us who we are. A bridge between where we come from, and what we hope to be, we celebrate the beautiful minds and creative souls whose spirits fill every day with wonder.

JENNI HILTUNEN – TEARS ARE MY BUTTERFLIES

Posted on 2024-08-05

Gender stands front and center in the oeuvre of Jenni Hiltunen. She portrays female figures that mirror her personal experiences and her existence in the body of a girl and woman. Over the years, her personal life has crept into her art to a growing degree, not directly as autobiography or self-portraiture, but through the depiction of her inner reality. Some of the characters in her paintings represent the artist and her friends and loved ones, while others are imaginary or fictive characters, like proposals for possible realities.
Hiltunen’s art is by no means limited solely to dealing with gender themes. Her paintings are always multi-layered receptacles of multiple narratives, and it is ultimately up to the viewer to add the final interpretation. For Hiltunen herself, light and color are just as important as the subject and thematic content. Her brilliant command of color can be regarded as one of her stylistic hallmarks.
