Orieta Chrem – KON

Fantologia I is a 17-track compilation curated by Quixosis and DJ +1, bringing together experimental electronic artists from across Latin America. The release explores themes of uncertainty and instability in the region, focusing on the idea of hauntology and the disappearance of promised futures. The music ranges from ambient and textured soundscapes to more rhythmic, club-influenced tracks, tied together by a shared sense of tension. Arriving at around the midpoint of the VA, Peruvian artist Orieta Chrem’s track KON blends Aphex Twin-esque disquieting synth lines with haunting vocals and clipped drums.

Kilometre Club – Dividend

Kilometre Club’s heartbreakingly beautiful ambient track Dividend is taken from a benefit compilation for FLAP (Fatal Light Awareness Program Canada), an organisation that seeks to protect migrating birds. Curated in part by TPW favourite Avi C. Engel and including several of their collaborative tracks with Bradley Sean Alexander, it’s Polar Seas’ 75th and final release and a fittingly contemplative collection of meditative tones and melodies.
