MODEL HOME is a hyperprolific experimental hip-hop formation from
Washington D.C., instigated by rapper NappyNappa and producer Pat Cain. The duo
recruits an ever-changing cast of collaborators to give each record a new feel:
Model Home can sound like post-modern take on old school hip-hop, glitchy noise
or even improvised exploration. The gist of Model Home is that the music pours
out like from a faucet, faithfully channeling the chaos of the everyday
thought. Model Home’s music would blend right in with a dystopia. The
deteriorating sounds of Patrick Cain’s electronics would be impossible to
distinguish from the constant construction that is the score of any
contemporary city; NappyNappa’s enigmatic missives would be lost in the roar of
public service announcements, personalized advertisements, and omnipresent
sirens. Built on the edifice of dub sound systems and DIY basement clatter,
their sound is made up of slabs of textured noise and decayed vocals. Releases
on Disciples, Don Giovanni Records and Future Times.

HORACIO POLLARD as ever manages to be absurd, entertaining and
challenging all at the same time – it’s frequently hard to position yourself as
a listener in the face of this much great / ridiculous music, and you won’t
know whether to guffaw or groan. Who can resist the fun-charged pull of these
primitive patterns and primitive, near-ugly sounds? Pollard is one of the few
creative people on the globe (Romain Perrot is another) who understands that
“good taste” is the very death of art, and as such he needs to be cherished
like a Siberian Tiger, albeit one whose pelt is made from artificial dayglo
blue fur.

GAUTE GRANLI channels the churning and grating of unknown presences in a
field of indeterminacy into the bulk of his disorienting one-man choir, where
moans distorted by their own reverberation are sustained by the trickling and
pounding of unseen forces. A new state of presence, welcoming heightened
sensory lashings that leave a strange, indelible mark.

ROBIN STEWART is one half of energetic techno-noise duo Giant Swan with
Harry Wright. Recent solo EPs ‘Time Travel' (Trilogy Tapes), ‘Marsupial’ (No
Corner) and ‘Albatross’ (ipaadai) showcase Stewart stepping out on his own with
bursts of mutated techno, cavernous dub, industrial pulses and echoed vocals.

DEE BYRNE is a London-based saxophonist, composer and improviser. Dee
collaborates with artists from the UK and Europe who occupy the area of
contemporary jazz, avant-garde and free improvisation. Fuelled by a love of
improvisation and a growing obsession for effects pedals, Dee’s solo project blends
acoustic sounds with interweaving electronic textures and moody
soundscapes. WIRE magazine described Byrne’s music as a collection
of “smudged, sultry alto lines that conjure a Fourth World ambience.”
