degelle A unique experience. You're observing a meditation from the outside but it's working on you at the same time. Favorite track: Yin Yang Self-Meditation.

Whyte Rushan I heard this on Saturday with Sarah on 95 BFM, and here we are, and I mean I had been up all night at a Friendly Potential gig with MARTYN, so it was time for reflection Favorite track: Yin Yang Self-Meditation.

about

Yin Yang Self-Meditation tape, an audiovisual experience (also available on limited edition cassette) in which Charlotte Adigéry, explores some of her own fears and destructive thoughts, both as a person and as an artist with the aim to break thought-patterns.

The project was recorded and filmed at the DEEWEE studios with go-to collaborator Bolis Pupul, the Dewaele brothers, label art directors Ill-Studio and director Jorre Janssens. The Yin Yang Self-Meditation gives the listener a brutally honest view in the artist’s mind, exposing personal experiences, struggles and worries. Racism, self-discipline, relationships and other subjects are shared by Charlotte over a meditative soundscape defined by a continuous heartbeat, however tackled by a self-written mantra moments later as a cool down. The 17-minute tape builds to a climax when Charlotte takes you into a moment post-show with all of her thoughts bouncing off the walls, eventually reaching a panic attack. A stream of consciousness with all her fears and destructive thoughts.

“This tape is an invitation to myself and eventually others to look inwards. It is a ritual for letting go. I was tired of being stuck in a narrow mental reality and I wanted to look beyond. The suffering is not caused by the problem itself. We worry about not having enough. We are anxious about rejection. We fear being misunderstood. We even fear things that lie in the future we do not control. In this meditation I invite you to follow my voice into my own mental state, through paralyzing thought-patterns and blind fears I want to say goodbye to. Openness can lead to understanding, unity and compassion.”

Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul Ghent, Belgium

Cultural appropriation and racism. Social media vanity. Post-colonialism and political correctness. These are not talking points that you’d ordinarily hear on the dancefloor but Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul are ripping up the rulebook with their music. ... more

I haven't heard anything as just completely perfectly formed out of the gate--every decision the right one, what to include but more what to exclude--maybe ever. Don't know who Sault is, but they do not sound like they could be anyone who hasn't paid some dues to get this good. Or signed some Satanic contracts. 100% confidence, and it sounds 110% earned.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
