Irish Porto-based producer and artist Olan Monk has announced the release of a new EP called Auto Life which will be out on October 1st via C.A.N.V.A.S. According to the press release, Auto Life is a practical attempt at a re-hybridisation of otherwise seemingly divergent strands of popular music, conflating stylisations usually segregated by genre.
Like a drag approach which reveals the performance of gender through confusing and hybridising signs, representations and identifications, conflating genres has an inverse effect in that it reveals its opposite: the continual performance of their segregation. Check the official video for the first excerpt “Fameless“.
