For the next New Blood entry, Giulio Spampinato aka Coeden drops the soundtrack for fictional Melange drug from Frank Herbert’s “Dune” novel.

Coeden is the moniker of Venetian artist Giulio Spampinato, who is also the resident of local CRIPSY parties. Coeden is a pretty current name in dark experimental music circles, yet his 2018 cassette “They Are Eating All the Faeries” released on Prehistoric Silence label demonstrates his potential and producing sensibilities. The record channels the spectres of jungle, illbient and stone-cold industrial beats and fuses them with distorted noise and shards of rough textures. His collab with Holy Similaun released just in digital format is a more straightforward affair with physical rhythmics suitable for heavy dancefloor experiences.

Coeden’s new blood entry works as an uneasy rollercoaster ride constantly shaking you up and down between more massive ambient pulsations to industrial/noise compositions. These contrasts manifest themselves constantly throughout the mix creating a constant tension in the narrative. Guilio picks mostly the records of recent years, thus at the same time exploring the variety of contemporary experimental sounds. It is the journey with lots of adventurous and sharp turns and detours.

Coeden on the mix:

“I chose the fictional drug Melange (or ëspiceí), from the novel Dune, as the inspirational topic for this mix. Its effects are clairvoyance, eternal life and absolute knowledge. So I tried to emulate the process of metabolization of this drug through a path of transformation in which the awareness of the totality collides with the human condition keeping the contradiction open.

I have mixed some new music I like mostly coming from friends and Italian labels and other tracks from the artists I enjoy to create harmonic and at the same time controversial atmosphere of sounds.”
