Bleep Mix #181 - Special Interest

  1. Bleep Mix #180 - Squid

    Bleep Mix #180 - Squid

New Orleans cohort Special Interest lay out a four-way split of each member’s influences on this exclusive Bleep mix. It’s clear that the lack of open clubs has gotten to them as much as the rest of us at first; floor focussed drops of distinct varieties from Olive T, Chris and Cosey and Majorettes form a rhythmic thoroughfare, while blissful release bursts through in the latter half of the extensive mix with the likes of Nappy Roots, Mykki Blanco and a Tina Turner Buddhist Mantra.

"In this mix each band member took on a 15 minute block to explore their own particular passions. Taken as a whole it's a wild ride through our individual obsessions and collective influences." - Special Interest

    The Disciples crew unearth the self-released demo tape from the New Orleans band released on cassette in 2016 before signing with Raw Sugar for their debut LP 'Spiralling'. Sounding as brutal as ever spoiling for a fight with a world drunk on the emissions of pig-headed monsters with their gutter politics.

    Then again, from under the cacophony of industrial drum programming and no wave screeches, there’s a side of Special Interest who believe in the eternally elemental power of throwing shapes on the floor — they even have a scorched micro-meteor of a track called ‘DISCO’, and there’s no denying that the hardened bass-and-percussion rhythm of ‘Disease’ has a punk-accelerated 4/4 immediacy seeping out of its swampy distortion. Beneath the dirge of electronics also lies a sensitive core, which pokes out in the alienated melancholia of ‘(Fluid) Bound 2’ with its ice-cold synths, while the layers of harsh noise slowly peel away on the record’s closer ‘I’ll Never Do Ketamine Again’, revealing vocalist Alli Logout’s scabrous vocal.

    The indistinct target of Trust No Wave is a broken status quo, a world born out of madness. For Special Interest, the greatest protest is to make a loud, screeching and relentless noise.

    Special Interest return with their second LP The Passion Of, and just as they did on 2018’s Spiraling this New Orleans band have created another masterpiece of caustic post-punk here. If you’ve ever listened to Drunk In Hell you’ll be able to see a through-line to Special Interest’s unpredictable and volatile grooves. However, amid the grinding electronics, screeching vocals and atonal guitar riffs, many of these tracks also show off some eminently danceable drum programming.
