Its 25-minute stretch of coiling, contorted grime and glitch; dub and hip hop dropped with the buzz of an impending co-production credit on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Kanye+West\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eKanye West\u003c\/a\u003e’s \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?\u0026amp;q=Yeezus\u0026amp;filter=Brand\/Manufacturer\/Artist_fq:%22Kanye%20West%22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eYeezus\u003c\/a\u003e in 2013. It included cuts of sound and beats that were too weird for that pop project, while becoming a piece of experimental art that what would come to define what is by now broadly known as a ‘post-club’ sound. It’s music that is as visceral as it is experimental; made as much for the mind, as it is for the body. Released with no warning seven years ago, \u0026amp;\u0026amp;\u0026amp;\u0026amp;\u0026amp; became a bridge between Alejandra Ghersi’s time partying and collaborating with her queer peers, while still living in New York to the next stage of her career releasing on Mute in London. She’d go from making beats for rapper Mykki Blanco and fashion label Hood By Air, posting lurching bass reworkings of pop hits on YouTube, and producing her first fluid mixtapes with DIS Magazine, to finishing off this seminal mixtape on the synths in Daniel Miller’s studio. After dropping three impressive EPs the year before, \u0026amp;\u0026amp;\u0026amp;\u0026amp;\u0026amp; marked a transition. Continuations and extrapolations of material from Stretch 1 and Stretch 2 appeared in the mangled RnB sampling of 'Century' and Arca’s signature vocal layering in the pitched flow of 'Waste'. Along with the fluttering, muted heartbeat of 'Obelisk', and the lumbering piano chords of 'Mother', fourteen sonic sketches were elegantly woven together into a single, downloadable whole. As Alejandra’s course turned toward moving to Europe from the United States, \u0026amp;\u0026amp;\u0026amp;\u0026amp;\u0026amp; became a remarkable challenge to the form of the mixtape, which was a relatively new trend taking hold of the online-oriented underground at the turn of the 2010s. But where many, if not most mixtapes where treated simply as a showcase of individual tracks presaging a more ‘official’ release to come, \u0026amp;\u0026amp;\u0026amp;\u0026amp;\u0026amp; was a complete piece in its own right.\" - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?\u0026amp;q=PAN\u0026amp;filter=Brand\/Manufacturer\/Artist_fq:%22Arca%22%20OR%20Brand\/Manufacturer\/Artist_fq:%22Yves%20Tumor%22%20OR%20Brand\/Manufacturer\/Artist_fq:%22Pan%22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ePAN\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eofficial reissue of 2013 mixtape, out of print since 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprinted inner sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: PAN 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e.","brand":"Arca","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":32879160885338,"sku":"dm-5917","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/arca-and-blackbinyl-1.jpg?v=1759280868","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/arca-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
