Psychic Liberation • An-I • Natq • Severin Black
Psychic Liberation (PL) is a label founded in 2013 that originally ran with Miguel Alvariño under the title Primitive Languages as a cassette and record store project in New York City. Since 2019, Nick Klein has been running it solo out of the EU under the title Psychic Liberation. On February 22nd Natq, Severin Black and An-i will perform at the monthly concert series of the same name in the Roter Salon – curated by Nick Klein.
Natq is a Singapore-born, Copenhagen based artist and disc jockey working with audio & visual mediums, at the nodes of electronic music, art and club culture. Synonymous with her open art collective, Interstellaria, her original work oscillates through tones of modern psychedelia while her DJ sets are a characteristic mix of techno, acid, house and experimental styles.
Running the experimental label and event series Archaic Vaults, Severin Black has been forming a worldwide community around marginal music since 2020. Their live practice centres around the sonic spectrums of ethereality and dissonance, primarily using clarinet and feedback improvisation. This has led to collaborations with Pavel Milyakov, Flora Yin-Wong, Alex Zhang Hungtai, Vanessa Bedoret, Chantal Michelle and Owen Pratt, performing in spaces such as the ICA (London), KM28 (Berlin), Le Poisson Rouge (New York), Mission To Seafarers (Melbourne) and on a giant pipe organ in a north-east London church.
Described as a collision of machines and human error, Berlin-based producer and DJ Douglas Lee’s project An-i is the outcome of melding the aesthetics of 80’s synth and industrial sounds alongside the thumping forward momentum of techno. An-i has released several records for Veronica Vasicka’s label Cititrax and can also be seen on many one-off’s comps and collaborations such as the Unhuman and An-i 12” for LIES Records. His live set consists of full hardware improvisation with chaotic synthesizers, screeching vocals and machine rhythms.
