When Everything Starts Sounding The Same Are We Living In a World Of Mirrors?
A. A. A. F. vol. i [SS126] arrives today across the world for human and animal kind to enjoy.
The title, an abbreviation of Art As A Foundation VOLUME i, intentionally marks World News' least commercial and most sonically ambitious EP to date.
The overriding concept revolves around the focus on art NOT marketing. World News has put a frame around this work – if when you look you feel, then great, but if not, they are happy for it to simply hang on the wall for the rest of eternity.
Combining elements of techno and ambient music in a way we've never heard before, World News create a sonic landscape that melts and flows between dark corners of the imagination.
Speaking of A. A. A. F. vol. i, World News had this to say:
"THIS IS THE EP WE WANTED TO CREATE. NOBODY TOLD US IT HAD TO SOUND THIS WAY.
DOES ART HAVE TO BE COMMERCIALLY VIABLE? NO.
A. A. A. F. IS ELECTRONIC MUSIC EXPLORATION. IT WAS PAID FOR IN FULL BY WORLD NEWS. IF YOU EVER CAME TO A SHOW OR BOUGHT OUR MERCH, YOU PAID FOR IT TOO.
THE MODERN MUSIC LANDSCAPE IS BROKEN. MUSICIANS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PLAY THE GAMES OF CORPORATE BEHEMOTHS. THIS RELEASE HAS NO SINGLES, NO WATERFALL PLAN, NO BULLSHIT. IT DOESN’T FIT NICELY INTO A GENRE. IT WASN’T MANUFACTURED TO A FORMULA. IT’S NOT A CARBON COPY OR EVEN A REASONABLE FACSIMILE.
AND WHAT ELSE?
MUSIC IS ART. MUSIC IS NOT MARKETING. WE DEFY THE BLOOD SUCKING VAMPIRES, THE VULTURES AND THE PARASITES. THIS EP ISN’T FOR THEM. IT’S FOR US.
IF YOU FEEL OUR SOUNDS RUN THROUGH YOUR VEINS, AMAZING! IF NOT, WE TOTALLY GET IT. IT’S WEIRD.
SET YOUR CASSETTE DECK TO INFINITE LOOP ∞"
A. A. A. F. vol. i is designed to be played for infinite looped playback. This can be achieved digitally by setting the album to loop. It is also being released on strictly limited edition cassette.
If you want a copy, come celebrate the release of this EP with World News at The Baby G tomorrow, Saturday 30th November. It's an interstellar lineup and you can grab tickets here.
The EP was recorded and mixed by World News at, you guessed it, Safe Sounds! Stem mastered by Asher Gould-Murtagh. Go listen now on Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, Bandcamp or anywhere you listen to music.

All The Bleeps Techno Vinyl Box Set // World News Black Cat
Aaaaaaaaarrrrrgghhhh!!!!!!!
Today has arrived and marks the release of the All The Bleeps 4xLP techno box set. We're even more excited now than we were when we found out that World News' Black Cat had been selected to close the compilation. Other worldly indeed.
The box set marks the 500th episode of Bleep Radio, or Bleep 500, which is the brain child of Trevor Wilkes (AKA Fun in the Murky). Kudos to Trevor for supporting the thriving local scenes here with such verve and passion to make it to 500 shows. Our hats are well and truly dipped to you, great sir.
So what about this ruddy box set then?! Well it features tracks from techno wizards such as Sane, Jerome Hill, Neil Landstrum, Joe Farr and many more. To have Black Cat find a home amongst this crowd of names is, to put it lightly, fucking awesome.
But what can you expect when you drop your trusty record player needle? Let's just say you had better be wearing your dancing shoes — and make sure you bring a spare pair of insoles — because when the beat drops it's relentless. Listen on SoundCloud.
~ AN INFERNO OF TECHNO ~
Perhaps this is where World News belonged from the off? Perhaps this is a sign of things to come? Perhaps I should calm down and have a good cup of tea? Everyone should calm down with a good cup of tea.
Interested in purchasing one of these beauties for yourself? Why the hell wouldn't you... they're proper wicked fam! Various options to do just that can be found here.
Manifest my friends, and push the creative envelope wherever you can.
