Listen To Secret Thirteen's Collage Of 50 Experimental Tracks
The Lithuanian collective mixes deep cuts from Alan Vega, Drexciya and more.
On Friday, we had the great pleasure to share an exclusive mix recorded for Electronic Beats radio by the cult Lithuanian art and music collective Secret Thirteen. The mix—which was recorded over the course of many months—was conceived as a collage-like narrative selection orf 50 tracks. The chosen pieces range from the industrial-limbed experimentalism of Alan Vega to the electro-tinged flair of Detroit legends Drexciya. Its creators, Justinas Mikulskis, Tadas Švenčionis and Paulius Ilevičius, layered each composition and added a dizzying number of obscure editing techniques. The result is an hour-long mix of hyper-compressed sonic energy. “Tracks morph, musical styles are spontaneously displaced, digital words escort bygone melodies sung by toy soldiers. All those thrills – twists measured up to milliseconds – are on our inertial glitch and error station, as expected. But we’re also leaving some raw moments of emotion and drama,” the Secret Thirteen members said of their unique set. Listen to the mix below—and be sure to wear some good headphones. Scroll down to see the entire tracklist.
