Ben Harris This quite sincerely sounds like nothing else I know. It's clearly steeped in the evolutionary arms race for electronica's adapting tropes of IDM, trance, euphoric house, digital hardcore, etc. But whereas each of those genres and their preset trappings can sometimes feel stale and territorial, this stuff feels like it's rapidly mutating before our very ears, intelligently confounding and reshaping our honed dance music instincts like an alien predator. Favorite track: Navigating Your Meat Suit While Your Meat Suit Navigates Reality.

In my cave Clawing at the back wall A light breaks in That’s blinding In my core Something begins to shift No energy Can be destroyed In my shape The one that persists Through shapeless shifts Blood given voice A silence awakening Silence awakened A silence awakening Alien thoughts Paint the razor’s side And hate’s rites curse The thoughts that recur An age undone from which the real is betrayed New limbs deployed A silence awakening Silence awakened A silence awakening Silence awakened + Access to the simulator Dimensions fooled by self-interested images The true way forward is Two animals formed from two directions Fooled by breath and conventional concentration An effective tool for reflection No dissociated nativity Associated with cruelty here. Halfway between two worlds My black insect-self crawls up at my feet While the familiar forms endless beads in all directions One cover emerges as the face of eternity A terrifying form As usual as it is foreign A transfer of bodies No one will ever know the difference

The gatekeepers are being assigned stuffed bodies erected at the edge of the city the hybrid children of diplomats cast in concrete at the base of the factory blood must be shed to fuel new commerce This node is a catalyst for indoctrination mimic the bodies that search before you a generation on the brink a decade dissolves in the blink of an eye a generation on the brink a decade dissolves in the blink of an eye and those who made it inside scatter the seed amongst their own plastic sheeting aspires to leather leather aspires to aristocracy shatter the screens of my eyes retrieve the lifeless image as muscle dissipates nothing replaces it i think my arms have risen into oxygen empires empower the voice it eliminates a generation on the brink a decade dissolves in the blink of an eye a generation on the brink a decade dissolves in the blink of an eye

about

OPERANT - TRAUMKöRPER LP [IOD050]
500 vinyl on Purple crystal transparent w/ insert, 100 CS and CD.

As an outfit that has existed on the fringes of the club scene, Operant continues their willingness to break genre taboos and expectations with their debut LP, Traumkörper, exhibiting a hybrid vision of electronic and organic elements that gives rise to a sound self-described as somewhere between extra-terrestrial black-metal, singularity-sludge, proto-psy-trance, anime noise-core techno and auto-tuned trap-folk.

These disparate methodologies are bound together by the conceptual elements that operate at the core of Operant’s thematic universe: the transcendence and destruction of the body, consciousness melding with machines and the manufacturing of new realities. As a blueprint to new forms, Traumkörper sets a path both disorienting and euphoric.

Over the course of 11 tracks the Berlin based duo and operators of record label, Instruments Of Discipline, Luna Vassarotti (IT) and August Skipper (AUS) birth their dream-body, an unsettling soundtrack for the strangeness of our times.
