Running the SUBREAL label alongside Siete Catorce, Los Angeles-based producer Stella Ahn (aka Amazondotcom) has established a unique space for herself within an overpopulated club landscape. Ahn's solo debut was 2019's "Mirror River" EP, a tight selection of spacious inverted club sounds that connected Autechre's exploratory sonic excavations with ideas that stretched throughout the global club landscape, from South America to South East Asia.
On last year's "War Bride", she pushed into a deeper realm of emotional dimensionality, augmenting labyrinthine rhythms and soundsystem-ready subs with affecting harmonies in an attempt to add narrative to her complex fusion of feelings, perceptions and politics. It's music that frames a turbulent timeline and renders it in crisp 4K.
