about

Welcome to XLR8R+ number 14, following the work of Fluxion, Silverlining, and Redeyes. For this month, we’ve teamed up with HOCO Fest, a forward-thinking musical gathering, taking place from August 29 to September 1 in Tuscon, Arizona. As part of this collaboration, we’ve chosen three artists from the HOCO lineup to contribute tracks to XLR8R+014, namely Minimal Violence, LSDXOXO, and Ojalá Systems.

Minimal Violence open the edition with “Crystal Synth,” a track they’ve been working on for over a year, refining it to the point it is today. With quick-fire drums and a spooky lead synth, it “captures a long span of our musical growth,” the Canadian duo say. Up next is LSDXOXO with “Zenon,” a high-octane rave cut inspired by video game soundtracks. We close the edition with three tracks from Ojalá Systems, a group of young artists, creators, and criminals working to secure liberatory and radical empowerment in Southern Arizona, USA. Their music is rooted in hip-hop, and these tracks are some of their latest productions; a taste of what’s to come.

The artwork is delivered by Lauren N. Bailey and Colin Fletcher, two Los Angeles-based graphic designers. For the design, they’ve used a collage of pictures of their work and stylized it in the same way they did for HOCO Festival 2019.

We thank you for joining our independent movement.

Enjoy the offering.
