Celestial Dregs One of the best acts out right now. First heard their stuff on 3XL with 'Ice That Melts The Tips'. This is somehow even more full on than that. I've been hanging out for new stuff since. Always watching with keen interest. Favorite track: XxBroodDemurexX (Siren).

ghosttropics It is the year 2093. You are about to attend your first rave since the nukes fell. You put on your hazmat suit and step out of your shelter, walking blindly through a green mist til you can hear a faint thumping. You see the outline of a warehouse, guarded by a pair of enormous mutant sludge punks. You show them your flyer. They nod 12 heads in unison, the doors open and the sound hits you and you think "...maybe the apocalypse isn't so bad after all"

about

With ๐‘ฝ๐’‚๐’๐’Š๐’”๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐‘จ๐’„๐’•, exaelโ€™s offering to the ENXPL series, the artist furthers their exploration of what they refer to as โ€œthe jesterโ€™s gazeโ€, wherein a variable array of emotions of the fool are less than obvious to decode. In this emotively charged interzonal reflection point, exael probes these psychedelic anxieties through eight varying tracks of accomplished electronic music production. Excavating the root role of the jester and its cosmic objecthood, exael takes on a synchronous identity; human and computer, jester and virus, superimposed. Far from a glistening ambient escapism, or sentimental shoegaze meditations, or obligatory club tropes, exael has created a sonic terrain unique to their own narrative and positionality as an artist. Side A of ๐‘ฝ๐’‚๐’๐’Š๐’”๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐‘จ๐’„๐’• showcases exaelโ€™s comfort in fast tempo constructions, while the B side offers slower tempoed ventures with guest vocal duties by writer Zoe Darsee moving between trip-hop and industrial affectations.

---

exael is an alias of Naemi, an artist residing in Berlin. Their work under this moniker aims to upend elements of divergent sonic aesthetics and musical styles, reassembling them with the intent to create diffuse, mulitfunctional contexts. Utilizing exael as an avatar, Naemi attempts to access a collective subconscious via their own, externally processing the sounds and images that permeate contemporary life. Thus, highlighting the ways in which people merge and re-combine with culture on a molecular level as a result of this near-constant immersion. They present stimulating, lysergic sounds in an organic and explorative manner instead of the sometimes exhausting vibe of highly-calculated, experimental club music.
