Tracks from the debut Ruth Mascelli album chopped, slowed, FX-bombed, reversed and spliced together into an immersive hour long mix that takes the material into a grimier, weirder space, synth tones echoing into the distance, snatches of buried dialogue, tape saturated bass rumble, distorted disco, techno throbbing away at half-speed in a dimly lit basement.
“The bathhouse exists beyond its own physical dimensions: extending backwards into a realm of collective memory, stumbling forward into possibility. Behind anonymous storefronts, through indiscreet glances. Outside the bounds of workaday drudgery and the limits of your own solitary skin. He took my hand and led me into a hermetic sexual world. It’s hard to see who’s in here through the haze of steam and sweat…”

During the final days of writing my thesis I listened to this album on repeat for hours at a time. It was like being suspended in one eternal moment while all that changed around me were the ripples and eddies of a slowly meandering river. catharina_bee
