SØVN Showcase

SØVN records is proud to present a label showcase at PAS Berlin! The main guest will be Queimada, whose ‘Mi Piel’ EP came out in on SØVN last year – The Wire described his music as ‘an exploration of surface tension’, based on melted-down samples and field recordings.

Before him, two of the label’s founders, Guybrush and Andrea Bruera, will perform new forward-looking music lying at the extremes of the label’s sounds – from Guybrush’s deep, lush ambient textures to Andrea Bruera’s twisted, experimental take on reggaeton.

SØVN records is a music label focusing on small editions of avant-garde music. Moved by a DIY and down-to-earth ethos, they’ve been out there in the wild for more than six years, hand-crafting cassettes, CDs and bizarre music-related artifacts – ever heard of a cassette trapped in a shell made of concrete, or of a non-cassette? Their sounds cover a large ground, encompassing free-spirited ambient (Machinefabriek, Queimada, Guybrush), improvised stringed instruments (Asger Thomsen, Ido Bukelman, Giorgio Sarno), live-coding techno (Graham Dunning), electro-exotica (Tereshkova), percussive experiments (Blood Room, Dilian), electronica trips (Carlo Maria, Acid Fountain, Andrea Bruera). They’ve never had a proper home – and proudly so; now they’re currently split between Turin, Leipzig and Milan.
