.Vril and Rødhåd return with the third chapter of their ongoing collaboration OUT OF PLACE ARTEFACTS - A COMPLEX INTERPLAY OF ZEROS AND ONES will be released via WSNWG on the 20th of February. Featuring GiGi FM, Sara Clarke and Peryl the album moves toward calmer soundscapes and more deliberate compositions. While the preceding volumes laid out the duo's ongoing investigation into the numinous aspects of sound and texture, this chapter can be conceived as a clearing of sonic space. Yet beneath the surface, the familiar tension between disorder and clarity shapes the record's structural framework. What emerges is an album of uncanny cinematic melancholia, the traces of which were already present in the earlier volumes, now coming to full bloom.

GiGi FM unveils Shelter Our Time, the title track from her forthcoming jungle EP on Sea~rene. A luminous homage to 90s liquid drum & bass, the single reimagines rolling breaks and glowing pads through her own intimate lens. Wah guitar textures cradle GiGis voice at the emotional core. The track captures a suspended moment between friends, lovers, and dancers ~ a shared refuge where time softens and expands. Both nostalgic and forward-facing, Shelter Our Time marks GiGi FMs return to her first love, Jungle, embracing vulnerability, presence, and emotional resilience.
Closely following a busy 2023, GiGi FM announces her brand-new record label, offering Kiwi Synthesis Diary Vol. 2 to mark the debut. Sea~rene takes aim at dreamlike and ethereal electronic music to reconnect the subconscious and the cosmos through immersive storytelling. As the identity quote of the label says itself We are Sea~rene swimming in-between supernatural tides, forever following the emotional waves of the universe. Already quite accomplished in her milieu through an acclaimed release on Bambounous Bambelabel, where she explored the relationship between bodily technologies and music, as well as through her residency on NTS Radio where she explores inter-dimensional sounds and shares her own musical palette, GiGi also continues to perform at strings of performances in the past years in settings like Berghain, Rural Japan, Draaimolen, Fabric, De School, Primavera, The Bunker New York, and Sustain Release. The French/Italian artist takes her productions further with this first release of her imprint. A continuation of her first self-released project, Kiwi Synthesis Diary 21k, in 2021, GiGi FM celebrates the exchange between her, as the owner of the journal, and its reader through euphoric soundscapes and vibrant psychedelia. Taking a step back from lockdown introspections, blurred lines between dream and reality like ambient and drony atmospheres, GiGi gives us a bent club record full of colors and life. GiGi FM guides us through dreams of sonic environments and the adventures to be had through them. Some are characterized by evolving fractals and shifting landscapes like in the healing mushroom journey of Amadamushies and the mythical Japanese Heron Tsuru. Combining steady rhythm and immersive ambiances, the result intends to soothe into a state of openness through kindly familiar territories. Sifting through the tracks, we find ourselves traveling fast through cosmic ecosystems like in the spiritual and cosmic teaching that Tevora represents, as well as Househopping (Keroppi) and Sly Xupete Di Barcelona, conveying the urgency to feel and create, even within difficult circumstances, while Spazio Teletrasporto takes us on a hypnotic whirlwind trip into the depths of the cosmos and our inner consciousness. Through these chapters of a journey, a connection between the mind and the beyond is implied, and its importance is highlighted. Deeply influenced by astrology, philosophy, and the cosmos; for GiGi, music is both a tool for expression and introspection. As a multi-hyphenate artist, she continues on her quest to push artistic boundaries and hold space for unique audience experiences. Whatever medium she may adopt, the result is a rich embodiment of the interconnectedness of sound, color, movement, and metaphysics.
