fangirl88 i like the entire atmosphere on here, trippy activism, the only way forward, but yea faith game has that longing for hope on a brighter future whilst being deeply felt, the track i wish to hear on a dance floor with too many emotions with tears running down, not sad per se, just connected, if that makes sense to anyone?! Favorite track: Faith Game.

TwinTrash This was some weird stuff... I really like it! Started off with strong Muslimgauze (sorry there's prolly other references) vibes, then got into fun techno explorations. Strong Dimlite / Misel Quitno vibes, too! One of this years faves for me <3 Favorite track: Poverty.

Northworks There's a boldness about these tracks that is captivating. Kind of like "I'm gonna do a track that is basically a slowed down edit of the previous track, and if you don't like it you can f*** off." Clearly there are loads of inspirations all being pulled together here, from techno, house, bass music, glitch/DSP etc, but Bergsonist has a unique sound and vibe that seems to flick two fingers up at current trends. Favorite track: La Rave.

Marjorine Super hypnotic and a great mixture of samples and synthesis. Just the way we like it. Favorite track: Otology.

about

After a digital single on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce, Optimo Music welcomes Bergsonist to the main label with a full album. Ridiculously talented and prolific, Bergsonist is one of thee most interesting, thoughtful and important artists of our times.

Bergsonist aka Selwa Abd is a New York–based artist and musician originally from Morocco.


Words about the album:

Middle Ouest is an ode to my history, present and future self. Like a sonic autobiography, It's the first body of work that realistically depicts my identity. It's a statement towards all the people who tried to put me into a box. I'm not a box but a genre-less ocean. I don't make genres, I just make music I feel making in the moment. It's all about capturing the moment in a given time. If the aesthetic happens to be house or techno then it is. But I'm not a techno artist.. I'm just a free sonic 'voyageur'. I make music as i feel the world; it can be dark, jovial, weird... I mirror the feelings into sonic compositions. However, the only variables that never change in this equation are the message and intention.
