Shape Change Black Alert draws deep from his cavernous archives, presenting relics of lost collaborations as glimmers of refracted hope. In this distant past, he’d shared stages with Seekae and Rufus Du Sol. He’s remixed artists like Collarbones and Cherry Rype. Can you hear these echoes in his new release? Shape Change Black Alert meanders through these clubland ruins. Is it IDM you can actually dance to? Dancefloor wreckers for DJs who have the gall to play the game on hard-mode? Or is it just the long shadow of a man with a laptop? Recorded in exile, the album is willfully unmoored electronica with a backbone of UK bass, slithering between prismatic joy and occult claustrophobia. The lead single ‘Sometimes (club)’ is a mutated footwork ballad that once served as the destructive closing track to his genre-obliterating live shows. Loopsnake remains lost under a desert sky. Some say they’ve seen him counting jewels for the Sultan, or wandering the glittering dunes with nothing but his headphones and the clothes on his back. But they say he’s doing well. He wishes, no doubt, that he released this album years ago. But as they say, the second best time is now. LOOPSNAKE - SHAPE CHANGE BLACK ALERT - OUT EVERYWHERE Feb 20. Contact.

Or at least he was. He was tricked into getting a suit-and-tie job hoping he could make lots of money to spend on synths, but instead he wound up spending that money on new suits and new ties. He traded sharing stages with Rufus, Seekae and Mark Pritchard for sitting in meetings with three guys, all called David, with nothing but Cisco’s iconic hold music in his headphones. The fool! Last year his wife got a big promotion and he followed her halfway across the world to a city where he's ‘not allowed to work’ for visa reasons. There’s only so clean the house can get, only so many meals to cook a day, and only so many YouTube rabbit holes to get lost in, so Loopsnake had no choice. Blessed with the kind of freedom you can only find by being unemployed in a country where you don’t know anybody, he turned back to the ultimate timesuck - electronic music production. As his suits and ties slowly turn to dust, Loopsnake makes music drawing on his roots as an indie DJ, as an electronica radio host and as the formerly most sought after remixer in the North-West Sydney folktronica scene. Following on from last years’ IDM-for-the-dancefloor EP ‘Shape Change’, his new offering ‘Black Alert’ moves in a more bass-heavy direction, from the big-beat electro throwback Booty Pop, the trip-hop infused jungle of Witchvox and the psy-footwork hybrid title track. The EP ends with a couple of hip-hop adjacent collabs with Canberra’s Orbit and Eora’s Flukazoid. This is the sound of overthinking club music from a home office. Like if Four Tet, Machinedrum and the Chemical Brothers were all accountants or something. He hung up his headphones years ago but now - with wild ideas and nothing else to do - he's back on his way to being Australia’s next top house-husband slash producer.", "art": "art/loopsnake-black-alert.jpg" }, { "type": "release", "cat": "SLACKARCHIVE003", "slug": "last-summer", "artist": "Okayden & VRDA", "title": "Last Summer (Loopsnake Remix)", "date": "2024-03-22", "status": "out", "class": "collab", "label": "Okayden", "links": { "bandcamp": "https://okayden.bandcamp.com/album/the-vrda-collabs", "tidal": "https://tidal.com/album/407000958/u", "apple": "https://music.apple.com/us/album/last-summer-feat-vrda-single/1786535547", "spotify": "https://open.spotify.com/album/1MFpDmZEEYGUt0S8O15t2n?si=18gTA9CISK6xOzw-rn4uxA", "deezer": "https://link.deezer.com/s/33PpxD5TsDVGkvZhEPH0u" }, "embed": "https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1188476773/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/artwork=none/transparent=true/", "embed_h": 307, "specs": { "format": "Digital" }, "filed_under": "Loopsnake", "blurb": "When Okayden posted this song on Threads, Death Waits said that somebody needs to do a dancehall remix.

He is best known for hosting the cult radio show Liquid Electric on FBi Radio, where he showcased the best in cutting-edge club music and experimental sounds. With a diverse musical background that encompasses genres including ambient, dubstep, wonky and rave, Loopsnake has developed a unique sound that defies easy categorization. His music is characterized by intricate rhythms, atmospheric textures, and a dynamic interplay between light and dark. In addition to his work as a producer and radio host, he has also earned a reputation as a remixer, lending his talents to tracks by artists such as Seekae, Tim Shiel, Marcus Whale and Simo Soo. After a hiatus of several years, Loopsnake is back with a new EP, his first release since 2018's Don't Stop. The EP is a showcase of his range, featuring club tracks rooted in oldschool IDM that merge with modern elements of techno, chillstep, future bass and industrial, with intricate rhythms and emotive melodies. Building a bridge between the headphones and the dancefloor, the EP is a testament to Loopsnake's versatility as a producer.

There's also a jungle version of my remix lost somewhere in the archives, that only got one play at one of the shows Joe Hardy put on at Pablo and Rusty's in Epping for his 'The Gate' project. I want to say that I didn't realise the impact that Seekae and this song Void were going to have, but I'd be lying. A few months later, they played at the Hopetoun Hotel in Sydney as support for Fire Island, which we all knew was a secret alias for Pivot (now PVT) around the time they got signed to Warp. Very much a rock music venue. The lads had their synths stacked on milk crates, hunched over their gear. Walking home from the show I remember hearing some lanky hipster kid in a cardigan say to his friend, 'I think I liked the support act better than the main band'. Sydney was, at that time at least, very much a pub rock city, but I reckon this show was a real turning point. To paraphrase James Murphy, that was when we all started to sell our guitars and buy microkorgs. Then there was the Presets second album, then there was Flume, but that night was one of the first steps on the path to what eventually became the Sydney electronic music scene. I also have to thank Lee Tran Lam for her neverending support of Loopsnake and my other projects on her beloved and phenomenally long running FBi Radio show Local Fidelity. I was genuinely surprised and touched when she decided to play this remix on her last ever show.
