Brainclub

Brainclub is an Austin-based vinyl compilation series curated by Pure X’s Jesse Jenkins and S U R V I V E’s Kyle Dixon. Brainclub is comprised of rare recordings, b-sides, and singular collaborations between members of Austin’s underground electronic & experimental circles, all gathered together and sequenced onto two custom-packaged 12” 45rpm vinyl pressings. HOLODECK listeners will see many usual suspects (Silent Land Time Machine, Smokey Emery, Thousand Foot Whale Claw all make appearances) as well unfamiliar names and unique collaborative works across the two 12”s: tracks from VC Childkraft (now known as JU4N), a rare live recording of electronic-improv duo Bodytronix, solo work from AMASA•GANA’s Guy Taylor (Dia Bas), Bill Converse, a collaboration between Kyle Dixon and SLEEP∞OVER’s Stefanie Franciotti (Heathen Earth), an alternate version of Thousand Foot Whale Claw‘s Lost in Those Dunes, and a cut from Malcolm Elijah of Silent Diane, amongst other rarities... Brainclub as a series represents an extremely unique and comprehensive crystallization of the current experimental / electronic scene that has been fervently building in Texas’ Capital. These hand-selected compilations capture an unusually accurate fractal image of the prolific, though often reclusive, close-knit culture of experimentation in Austin; each volume contains choice tracks from the city’s underground community that play out with spontaneous, potently raw energy and surprising coherency. Until now, Brainclub has only been available on merch tables and exclusively offline. - Holodeck Records
