49: POLYBLACK Black Metal favorites by O.Lamm. Cover art by Hendrik Hegray

Polypunk not dead: this year, Polypunk, the podcast series I initiated, will celebrate its fifth year and its 50th episode.

Back in 2005, I imagined Polypunk to be a selection of contemporary sounds, “bits and beats” from around the world.

It could be an annoying over-ground commercial song heard in an airport, a rare re-edit of a disco track, some sugar pop from Malaysia, field recording from Portugal, the genres and styles would not matter as long as the selected bits would connect, “click” with the very moment they were found, noted, selected.

Since 2005, with a few exceptions, I have selected all contents for the show.

Now in 2010, it is time to open and to invite friends, special guests, “curators”, to give us their idea of Polypunk and contemporary sound.

In 2010 Polypunk changes from being a Digiki selection to being a Digiki invitation, and it’s very exciting.

So, no special “anniversary” episode, but rather a year of sound archeology, digging the now.

Happy new decade.

To (kick) start 2010, I am pleased to welcome back Olivier Lamm for a very special black metal selection. Olivier did a brazilian selection (selección?) for Polypunk 014.
This time things are very different as he introduces some of his favorites black metal tracks.
What’s striking is the richness of the textures and layers in the music selected by Olivier. I believe we can all learn one or two things here. What’s more, Hendrik Hegray is our cover artist. A perfect match.

Black is the new black.
