Club Furies

Safar Collective is a multidisciplinary artistic community, established in 2021. It was formed on the idea of exploration through experimentation. Their shared love of leftfield and the esoteric guided them through three closed group experiments in the past that culminated in their previous compilations. Now, they present their new Various Artists release. This one aims to make the transition to a leftfield label with the vision of building an ecosystem that nurtures leftfield artists and showcases unconventional art.

It is titled Perceptions I, comprised of seventeen original tracks. It travels through different realms, from drum and bass to breakbeat to glitch-hop, continually inhabiting a progressive space that breathes novelty and inventiveness. Each composition feels alive, flexible, and evolving. In addition to in-house artists, Perceptions I includes notable artists from the Indian underground, such as I7HVN, Watashi, Rafiki, Audio Units, Flux Vortex, and Shantam, as well as featuring Aman.

Straight from Jamshedpur, Aman presents Mourning The Loss Of Childhood, a title that in itself nourishes us with very deep meanings. Having a loss in principle entails mourning, it is usually advised and noted. Usually, it is done with a human loss, a family member, or a close friend. But it is also true that mourning the past that is gone can carry the same strong emotions. And even more so if that departed past is childhood, that beautiful time of every human being.

The sound of the Aman track manages to decode those meanings of a person’s life in perennial nostalgia, subtle present-past movements, and rhythmic fine-drawn that hypnotize us. And the fact is that if we want to remember as much as possible that which is gone, it is necessary to carry out prolonged mental concentration. The sound of this track succeeds in doing so in an exceptional way, reaching a climax when in the present we make the past come alive: we become children again – as when we remember that our loss is with us.

Aman manages to immediately hook the listener with his track, the one that opens the first release of Perceptions, the one that opens the range of rhythms and atmospheres of Safar Collective. Lose yourself in Aman‘s memories and open yourself to the world of Safar, who invites listeners to a deep dive into the compilation to unravel the ineffable and experience the raw emotions firsthand. An that way, to carve a niche with them in the Indian underground.
