is a Brooklyn-based music institution that operates on few but heavily fortified principals, dealing with forward-reaching artists sometimes categorized as electronic, avant, free, fried, etc. RVNG seeks to appease collector fandom with extravagant packaging and to remind hopeful audiophile generations of the sonic spectacle that transforms the surrounding airspace when needle presses vinyl. Our F

these images of and agosto machado () at in nyc this past weekend don’t totally translate the incredible energy of the exchange and evening but they come close🪞👄

the pair’s first “live collaboration,” the performance utilized music / movement / any means necessary to create a new theatrical conversation, working in response to colin’s respite ∞ levity for the nameless ghost in crisis, amongst other sounds. a very special experience to see these two working in-tandem 💚

thanks to gps for providing a venue for this exciting new work, and for sending over these great photos documenting the night.

tonight, tuesday, june 24 at 8 pm edt / 5 pm pst, tune in online for ’s takeover of our monthly show, friends & fiends. from operating theater to bach to to to gentle giant, kate covers it all in “a melancholic mix with medieval undertones, a magical journey through dark times.” tune in live, or from the archives whenever / if ever the algorithm serves this 📻 🏰 🐲

shares the first transmission from his new album, tender / wading. returning to write and record in a patch of homeland in the foothills and pastures of colorado, matt channels the reassurance of coming home into a sweeping, serene vision ⛰️🌼

the follow up to his 2023 rvng debut paradise crick, tender / wading marks a decisive, distinct evolution of his solo output. matt’s involvement with groups like / his return to life nature alongside his family after ten years in chicago coalesce as new creative stimuli, shifting his sound to a pastoral kind of folk kosmiche and contemplative electro-acoustic barn jazz for the front range, brimming with pale puddle blues and rusted oil drum reds 🌀

embracing the elemental and intentional, while finding a new comfort in writing on the piano, there is a sense of structural heft within these songs. where crick’s universe was born from magical realism and digital fantasy, tender / wading cuts from the human experience more directly, marking matt’s most autobiographical work yet. yet, he is quick, push back on notions of it being a highly conceptual record; “i’m just making the music that I would want to be playing in my headphones while weeding or whatever”

today we share “tender of land,” the closing track of tender / wading, and a prime slice of the holistic, radical softness that colors the record. the accompanying video, directed and edited by matt, likewise offers a glimpse into the sensorial topography that inspired it 📷

tender / wading is available now for pre-order on digital, standard black lp, japanese import cd with obi and exclusive bonus tracks (via ), as well as in a limited artist edition run of 100 black lps with alternate designs and screenprinted covers, direct from the rvng webstore

using the just passed ten year anniversary (!) of nite-glo as an opportunity to look back on some of / christelle’s amazing work on rvng 🚥

crazy to think it has been a decade since nite-glo and even longer since joy one mile, but the circuitous rhythms and outer / extra dimensional textures that christelle explored over our collaboration together have only grown more potent in the years since. some seriously singular, exciting, and boundary pushing work ⛰️🌟

at dripping this friday, june 20, colin presents the us premiere of their new live show “GASP!” the show defies form, presenting material from r∞L4nGc through multi-disciplinary, collaborative means, realizing the communal, ritualistic elements of the record for the live environment. tickets available now via pioneer works for colin + a stacked lineup.

at gps this saturday, june 21, colin appears alongside agosto machado () in a new, collaboratively conceived theatrical performance wherein both artists will respond to one another onstage via music, dance, objects, and music in-tandem with the new record

a cross-generational exploration of two kindred spirits, as well as a celebration of agosto’s huge legacy in new york’s downtown theater and drag scenes, this marks the pair’s first live collaboration. even sweeter, this one is free with rsvp 🍬

basking in the luminous lunar beams as ’s room for the moon live enters our orbit today ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆⏾.

recalling an intimate evening a ways after the kate’s 2020 sophomore album drop, this release marks five years since these songs first tracked on our collective radar, but moreover, it serves as a snapshot of kate and her ace eight-piece band in full phase. here, they deliver energetic and imaginative new takes on these beloved tracks, warping and stretching them towards new auditory avenues.

thanks to some copious documentation from the lucky few who were able to attend this concert, the full show arrives here in audio / intermittent visual form, ready to be taken home and relived over-and-over again. it’s a delight to hear kate & co. revisit this music with such a playful, collaborative spirit. pleased to report that the joyous, immediate energy onstage remains seriously infectious on these recordings 🍊🍓

you’ve done it once again, kate!

room for the moon live is available now on limited edition double lp in hand stamped and numbered jackets direct from the rvng webstore and page, and digitally everwhere 🌝

all things must pass, but sometimes they return 💾 💖 remote control, jj weihl’s solo debut under the ’s moniker, re-emerges in a celebratory five year anniversary edition from rvng and

jj’s rumination on the mundanity of the technosocial present / the boredom of our future has only become more resonant, darkly funny, and earwormish as the years have passeded. remote control found jj joining up with enigmatic french producer and frequent collaborator e/t, and bandmate lucas chantre (aka ), to cook up some stone cold dz classics such as “dance ii” and the title track – the sounds of the future crafted with the tools of the past

remote control begins shipping in the next week or two from rvng hq, and will be available in a wider way september 12. order the purple marble vinyl edition with a custom holographic sticker, from our webstore or 🌐

ariel kalma has passed away, at the age of 78, at his home in the main arm locality of new south wales, australia, surrounded by his dear family: ama, his life partner, his son joel and daughter-in-law becka, and their grandchildren. after contending with many health challenges over the past several years, his departure was sudden though peaceful

ariel and i first began speaking in december of 2012 around the idea of having him collaborate with robert aiki aubrey lowe on what would become frkwys vol. 12: we know each other somehow. after months of messaging, and a fortuitous meeting of ariel and robert in san francisco, robert and i traveled to austraila, met up with our friends misha and joey, and spent almost two weeks with ariel making music, documenting natural sounds and sights, sharing an unreal amount of laughter, and generally basking in the glow of ariel

durnig that trip, ariel and i began exploring his music archives, both incredibly rich and wide. ariel’s travels as a young parisian lead him all over the world to collaborate with fellow musicians, and after he returned to paris, he found his own sound manifesting magically and magnificently. his self-titled album and osmose, from 1975 and 1978 respectively, formed the creative period where we focused our attention for ariel’s first archival collection, an evolutionary sound

i would not visit ariel again in austrialia, but he traveled the states again to play a number of shows with robert after the collection and collaboration had been released. it was such a joy seeing the two push forward their work beyond the album i have such a vivid memory of ariel resting on our family’s living room couch after one of these shows, a giant smile on his face reminiscing about the experience his eyes following the notes played. beatific and grateful, always grateful and in touch with an unspoken, unseen force

my heart hurts, ariel, but is so full of love from the creative, transformative experiences shared, the laughter, the relationship that you leave with dear ama and your family. i can only express gratitude with this grieving, and promise to honor your legacy in big and small ways. so much love ~

happy (belated by a day) birthday to the mischief maker and multi-faceted artist 🎂💣

in 2023, rvng put out sound scribbles, a collection of strange sounds and music that brian created as a companion to his signature and beloved scribbles / visual creations.

brian is a collector, with sources and influences ranging miles wide and leagues deep. it was a delight, if not a somewhat demented proposition, exploring this corner of his practice 🔥

this thursday, june 5, in a secret greenpoint, brooklyn loft, matt w of rvng and ’s NO R3V3RS3, will present sounds from 7 - 11 pm. rsvp in bio 👆

it’s no secret if you’ve been to this space, that the experience is unlike others. true to the sound, true to the listener. overjoyed to play some records (still need to figure out those cdjs?) alongside tom, a friend of forever now

repetition repetition’s fit for consequences: original recordings, 1984-1987 enters our collective orbit today via . the very first archival survey of the minimalist electronic duo of steve caton and ruben garcia, the release collects select material from across their catalog, bringing their work to open ears and minds ➕➗➕

the pair set out to explore new worlds with just synths and guitars, immediately revealing a shared mind impossibly tuned to the hypnotic possibilities of stylistic convergence. tapping into a source deeper than their own personal stylistic predilections, caton and garcia worked across a wide spectrum of emotive sonics ranging from shimmering, beautiful ambience, to haunting electronic grit

though they remained largely under the radar during their initial tenure, while still finding crucial support from fans and collaborators like harold budd, kcrw deejays brent wilcox and dean suzuki, and barry craig’s, aka a produce, influential, scene-scanning trance port tapes compilations. with fit for consequences, freedom to spend sees to it that the private worlds of garcia and caton can now be visited by all rather than just the count-‘em-on-both-hands lucky few whose musical endeavors or collector vocations carried them into this once-distant dimension

we’re honored to play a small role in preserving the legacy of ruben, who passed away in 2013, and grateful to garcia’s family and steve, pictured above, for the support in producing this collection 💙

fit for consequences is available now on cd, all digital platforms, and a first run of 550 lps, directly from the freedom to spend and rvng webstores. listening unchained ⛓️‍💥
