Artist: ARCA

With the release of the Stretch 1 EP, the producer behind Arca seems determined to keep his identity on a black canvas–perhaps his way to attain absolute freedom in an electronic field where entity seems to be more about wit than accommodation. After a mesmerizing initiation of space-less and loose-cannon minutes in Barón Libre (released earlier this year), and a pound-to-the-guts remix for Korallreven, the Venezuelan producer has released yet another dose of segmental hip hop. "Ass Swung Low" is the promotional cut off Arca's latest EP, and it comes with a [...]

If you happen to frequently read any of the same influential online publications that we do, then chances are you've already run into a few pieces about some of the remixes for Swedish bedroom pop duo Korallreven's " Sa Sa Samoa ," particularly Elite Gymnastics' BNMed jungle-y remix. Mysterious Venezuela-via-New York producer Arca, whose debut EP, Barón Libre , seriously impressed us a couple of months ago, was part of the handful of artists who participated in the remixes that were included in the official "Sa Sa Samoa" single release on Acéphale Records .

If you've been keeping up with your music think pieces the last few weeks, you may have noticed an influx of articles about the popular resurgence of electronic dance music. The music industry term "EDM" has come to serve as genre marker for the cadre of mass market artists the articles highlight, who've found success by fusing electro, dubstep, and various branches of house music to create music that is deftly accessible and unapologetically brash. Yet, even as this contrived EDM narrative gets echo-chambered by the likes of the New York Times business section, danceable electronic music continues to diversify [...]

Barón Libre , Arca UNO NYC, Venezuela Rating: 84 by Pierre Lestruhaut We might as well just get through with it right away. Although being referred to in some mediums as the project of some mysterious Venezuelan prodigy living in New York, Arca is in fact the work of Alejandro Ghersi, none other than the dude who had been making CF-approved electronic indie pop a few years ago under the name Nuuro. With this new Arca moniker, Ghersi has taken [...]

If you've ever spent even a nominal amount of time around other human beings, you've no doubt noticed the fact that talent is as common as dirt. Cruise around the internet's most astute music blogs, and you'll see a disparate community of DIY geniuses holed up in their bedrooms creating stuff that rivals the best of whatever the tastemaker-est labels can release in a fiscal year. Cherry-picking the best of them is sometimes a daunting task because I could spend all day writing blurbs for everything that catches my ear. But sometimes, I fall in love with something before the [...]

Vicky Cordero y Mico Rubilar, principales responsables del proyecto La Reina Morsa, que el año pasado a través del sello Cazador presentaron el álbum Dónde están las jugueterías , este año lentamente han vuelto al ruedo tras un leve receso.

Toronto -Three people are sitting in the claustrophobic cockpit of the docking module at the front of a Soyuz rocket. One of them lack the decades of training, military flight background, and scientific expertise typical of astronauts. Yet all shared the aspirations of being in space. As the countdown nears 60 seconds, a hushed prayer: Here I am, at the center of the world. Behind me, myriads of protozoa, before me, myriads of stars. I lie between them in my entirety. Two shores taming the sea, a bridge that joins two [...]
