Jim C. Nedd - Remembering Songs (PAN 142) / book

Jim C. Nedd ranks among the most captivating photographers of his generation. Remembering Songs, Nedd’s debut monograph, culminates six years photographing his native Colombia in over 300 full-color reproductions, featuring an introduction by Beatriz E. Balanta and an interview with the artist by Octavia Bürgel. A delicate balance of staged and documentary photography, Nedd’s distinct visual language is spun from local mythologies, personal nostalgia and speculative fiction. Vivid, deliberately theatrical scenes of ceremonies and other convivial environments are offset by intimate portraits cast in stark shadow or otherwise opacified. The tension between personal and universal experience is mobilized as a formal sensibility in Nedd’s work, evoking an uncanny potency reminiscent of the Latin American narrative tradition of magical realism.

Jim C. Nedd is a Colombian-Italian artist born in 1991. Nedd makes images with an illusory and carnivalesque vision, fusing episodic encounters from his daily life with elements of the dreamlike and surreal. Transforming the figures and landscapes of his surroundings into poetic works braided with recurring concerns and themes, Nedd’s work is often inspired by a mixture of collective memory, shared experience, and his Caribbean culture.

Honour - Àlááfíà (PAN 121) out now 🕊️

Honour’s debut album is a ligament stretching from Lagos to London and to New York, curling across the diaspora and brushing the darker hues of blues, hip-hop, free jazz, ambient, gospel with Christian mythology and Yoruba folklore. As cinematic as it is painterly, Àlááfíà is a meditation on themes of life, death and love that pulls inspiration from the unexpected poetic profundity of casual conversations, field recordings, literature, ephemera, or personal archives. The result is an impressionistic vision in Black and Blur that both exhausts and implicates language—substantiating a mythos proposed by Fred Moten that sublimates boundaries between everywhere and nowhere; history and the present; the individual and the universal.

Setting core principles of hip-hop, R&B, jazz and gospel music to atemporal soundscapes and compositions, Honour crafts a record that marinates in its own knotty contradictions. The ghosts that sit on the artist’s shoulders have never been more tangible than with this emotive debut.

MARINA HERLOP - NEKKUJA (PAN 141) is out today!

Composed, produced and recorded by
Vocals by Marina Herlop
Mixed and mastered by
Artwork by Mati Klarewin

Digital / LP (forthcoming)

'Nekkuja' is a place for Herlop's warmest, sweetest sentiments to rise to the surface and crack through the topsoil. She describes the record as a way for her to seek and affirm inner light, and it's undoubtedly her brightest, poppiest statement to date. The forward-thinking, experimental touches that nourished 'Pripyat' are still present, but blessed with a level of positivity that's rare to find in a scene so entranced by darkness and melancholy. Skittering fragments of ornate acoustic instrumentation provide a serene welcome to 'Busa', punctuated by precise electronic processes that shuttle the sound towards abstraction and fantasy. Herlop's voice grows over the tangle of sounds from a childish giggle into a layered, matted mantra, sounding passionate, hopeful and full of energy. The vitality spills over into 'Cosset', where she wraps powerful motifs around ricocheting beats and dramatic piano rolls.

Herlop's garden opens up dramatically on 'Karada' when bucolic field recordings crack like sunlight over harp plucks and willowy vocals. Her voice seems to bend around the whooshing streams and chittering of birds as if she's singing to the manicured land itself - a utopian paradise that Herlop employs as a metaphor for the creative process. In contrast to the view that an artist is an isolated genius or an idol to be worshipped, Herlop believes that the garden helps us see the process as closer to devotion or perseverance. A gardener brings order to the wild chaos of the outdoors, collaborating with nature to arrange something vibrant and enduring. Blending familiar sounds with fanciful concepts, Herlop traces an imaginary garden, imploring us to wander and wonder. And by the album's billowing final track 'Babel', it's flowered into a flush of pruned vocal phrases and delicately groomed orchestral rushes, painted in orange, green, blue and red.

In a lengthy conversation with theorist Jak Ritger, the electronic duo Amnesia Scanner and artist Freeka Tet discuss their third full-length album titled STROBE.RIP. This record tells the story of the desire for meaning. Language as a code, an obstacle to be overcome, in order to find the humanity on the other side.

TONGUE IN THE MIND the new music project by Juliana Huxtable, Jealous Or**sm and Via App release their first single ‘Pretty Canary’ today via PAN ♾️





Tongue in the Mind evolved heedfully from almost a decade of creative back-and-forth between multimedia artist, DJ and writer Juliana Huxtable and multi-instrumentalist composer Joe Rinaldo Heffernan, aka Jealous Or**sm. Starting life in New York City as free-flowing improvisational performance art, the project shifted as Huxtable and Heffernan's confidence in each other swelled and their collaboration became more compositional and ostentatious. Coaxing each other to take risks and metamorphose artistically, the duo's roles flickered and spiraled; Huxtable would set down the mic to jam on synths and percussion, while Heffernan would move from instruments to vocals. Production and arrangement became a synergistic process and little by little, a defined musical fingerprint appeared.

The duo became a trio in 2023, when NYC-based producer Dylan Shir (aka Via App) joined to augment Huxtable and Heffernan's serrated, high-concept prog-metal with dizzying samples, electronic drums, synths and sequences. Over the last decade, Scheer has developed a reputation for their playful, cobalt-hued sci-fi club experiments, and a close friendship with Huxtable and Heffernan easily metamorphosed into a deep creative exchange. Shir brings a cosmic backbone to Tongue in the Mind's lyrical, meta-musical narratives, adding crucial low-end and dancefloor mysticism to the band's noisy, ornate oscillations. Heffernan meanwhile administers a long-held obsession with metal and punk into his classically conditioned arrangements, while Huxtable - who currently lives between New York and Berlin - imparts
creative knowledge from her years of experience as a groundbreaking DJ and vernacular-bending poet.

🍜

Amnesia Scanner’s third full-length album titled STROBE.RIP is a collaboration with the artist and musician Freeka Tet, who joins the album and associated live performances as a vocalist and creative collaborator.

Released by PAN, STROBE.RIP is part of a broader series of live performances, installations, videos and physical products created by the group.

“Amnesia Scanner is now living in the world it has built,” signaling a sincere commitment to the act. The human dimension in STROBE.RIP is chaotic: a reverse hero’s journey that merges deep-fried baroque with the quasi-angelic into a psychotic megamix of tropes, lyrics, genres, and sonic palettes that are both disorienting and deeply resonant.

HONOUR live this Sept, presenting THE BLOOD (2TEARS & A $UCKET).

A newly commissioned piece for Atonal, 2023 in the form of a sermon that pushes the boundaries of traditional religious oration, THE BLOOD (2TEARS & A $UCKET) challenges the audience to confront their own perspectives on love, death, and memory. Employing hip hop as found material, Honour sculpts immersive visuals and abstract vocalizations. The resulting compositions reflect an emotional dynamism that relies on unconventional instruments, rhythms, electronic synthesis, field recordings, and the artist’s voice to immerse the listener in a realm that is both unsettling and captivating—in doing so, mirroring the apocalyptic visions and spiritual depths described in the Bible’s final chapter.

sculpts immersive worlds with her music. Ones that are brimming with both vibrant microscopic detail and lofty, enveloping sound design – as her latest release Germ In a Population of Buildings exemplifies. The Amsterdam-based DJ and producer’s second album, it showcases upsammy’s captivating concoction of intricate IDM, otherworldly, textural electronics and nimble bass mutations.

For her Mix, upsammy’s architectural and shape-shifting approach to sound is in full force. “This mix is more on the percussive and clubby side of my sound,” she tells us, “focussing on a flow between adventurous rhythms with playful high frequencies, eccentric kicks and ambiguous tones”.

Similar approach goes into a beatless new mix for which is also now streaming online.

The artist after a good run of shows continues her tour throughout summer in Belgium, Netherlands, UK, Poland + more dates tba.

Asma Maroof, Patrick Belaga, Tapiwa Svosve - The Sport of Love (PAN 134) is out today 🌱

Mixed by Daniel Pineda
Mastered by Sam John
Artwork by Tosh Basco
Design by Justin Sloane

In the late 18th century, reason and rational thought was idealized and viewed as the most progressive way to comprehend a rapidly industrializing society. The snap reaction was Romanticism, an artistic movement that prioritized emotion, imagination and intuition - things that can't be quantified but have sustained culture for millennia. Now in a digitally accelerated age where our lives are not only measured but distributed in binary, a similarly hot-blooded creative response is long overdue. On The Sport of Love, seasoned collaborators Asma Maroof, Patrick Belaga and Tapiwa Svosve consider the language, competition and contradiction of modern romance: its yearning, incomprehensible vastness and the inevitable darkness and fleeting fragility. For the trio, love is the emotion that propels all of us whether we acknowledge it or not, and its expression can be realized in many forms.

The music emerged like smoke from the embers of soundtrack work they collaborated on in 2021. After finishing scores for Virgil Abloh's Louis Vuitton A/W 2021 collection film, Peculiar Contrast, Perfect Light and Bafic’s documentary short Sub Eleven Seconds, the trio were left with unanswered questions and excess energy. They considered the idea of creating an imaginary score to a romantic movie, using love to dictate its movement and narrative.

Additional instrumentation from harpist Ayha Simone and percussionist Mathieu Edward. Shifting from gooey freeform jazz into gurgling noise and bleak ambient drone, it connects the dots between Dorothy Ashby, Arve Henriksen, Jon Hassell and Hildur Guðnadóttir while voyaging into parts unknown.

Artwork from the trio's friend Tosh Basco, and several tracks have already been used by Wu Tsang in a piece for SFMoMa.
