¿QUiÉN SOY YO?

DiGiTZMAN | (New Single!) | (Videoclip Oficial)

⟪ Become Human ⟫

“¿Quién Soy Yo?” lo escribí en 2008, pero no habla solo de mí. Habla de todos: de la lucha diaria por seguir siendo humanos en un mundo que a veces quiere convertirnos en otra cosa. “Who Am I?” I wrote it in 2008, but it’s not just about me. It’s about everyone: about the daily struggle to remain human in a world that sometimes tries to turn us into something else. « Qui suis-je ? » Je l’ai écrit en 2008, mais il ne parle pas que de moi. Il parle de tout le monde : du combat quotidien pour rester humain dans un monde qui tente parfois de nous transformer. “Quem Sou Eu?” Escrevi em 2008, mas não é só sobre mim. É sobre todos: sobre a luta diária para permanecermos humanos em um mundo que às vezes tenta nos transformar em outra coisa.  「私は誰？」 2008年に書いたのですが、これは私だけのことではないんです。私たち全員のことです。時に私たちを別の何かに変えようとする世界の中で、人間であり続けるために日々奮闘する、すべての人のことです。„Wer bin ich?“ Ich habe es 2008 geschrieben, aber es geht nicht nur um mich. Es geht um alle: um den täglichen Kampf, in einer Welt menschlich zu bleiben, die manchmal versucht, uns in etwas anderes zu verwandeln. 《我是谁？》是我在2008年写的，但它不仅仅关乎我。它关乎每个人：关乎在这个有时试图将我们变成别样的世界中，我们每天为了保持人性而进行的挣扎。

Electronic Sound 129 2025

English | 100 pages | PDF | 46 MB

BRIAN ENO and BEATIE WOLFE are gearing up for the release of their third collaboration of 2025, so it’s fantastic to have them on the cover of the latest Electronic Sound. We’re bundling the magazine with a lush purple vinyl ENO & WOLFE seven-inch too, one side of which features a track previously only available in Japan. Brian Eno’s partnership with composer and conceptual artist Beatie Wolfe, who Vice called “a musical weirdo and visionary”, has already given us two albums this year. Another is coming out next month. All three records – ‘Luminal’, ‘Lateral’ and the forthcoming ‘Liminal’ – blend dreamy, mesmeric and opulent ambient atmospherics with snatches of hushed Americana. The results are alluring and fascinating, as is our interview with the pair, which sees them talking about everything from the joys of hauling abandoned speakers out of skips to the very idea of creativity itself. Exploring the zone where music, art, science and technology come together, it’s a perfect cover story for Electronic Sound.

Electronic Sound 127 2025

This month’s Electronic Sound cover star is sci-fi electronica legend and space boffin JEFF MILLS, whose many career highs include an acclaimed series of radio shows for NASA. From co-founding the fearsome Underground Resistance in Detroit in 1989 to beaming out epic transmissions via his long-running Axis label, Mills has spent decades crafting his singular vision of electronic music, taking in alien soundscapes, cosmic operas, symphonic collaborations and more. As well as delving into his huge back catalogue, our interview with this sonic adventurer and edgy futurist covers subjects such as Marvel comics, 1920s movies, black holes, technology, telepathy, and the similarities between musicians and astrophysicists. It’s a gripping read, as you’d expect from a man with one foot in tomorrow and the other somewhere near Alpha Centauri.
