about

Shahin Entezami and Behrang Najafi of Temp-Illusion curate an eclectic remix project for their acclaimed album ‘PEND’, released in 2020.
Ten cutting edge experimental artists from around the globe reimagine tracks in new contexts and employ magnificent spins on TI’s originals.

The Quietus writes about Temp-Illusion and their PEND album:

“Beats with the physicality of cold concrete are the name of the game for Temp-Illusion, the Iranian duo of Shahin Entezami (who works solo under the Tegh alias) and Behrang Najafi (aka Bescolour).

On Pend, the pair construct swaggering monoliths of low-end dread, shattered frequencies and sheared drones. The six tracks here take aim at the weaponisation of the media and its project to spread constant fear in order to keep society a hostage of inaction. Entezami and Najafi manage to make that sense of the semioblitz tangible, the music reaching towards moments of brutal critical mass that mimic the effects of information saturation on our brains.

The apocalyptic, bass heavy grooves they muster become almost all encompassing, but their compositions are far from monochrome. Each is suffused with microscopic details and patterns, and surprising left turns into moments of melody and harmony against the rhythmic superstructures. It’s these moments that give your mind something to latch onto and pull these tracks away from pure pessimism, microscopic discretions into detail against the data onslaught.”

Reworks through the lens of KMRU, Selm, Filmmaker, Idlefon, xin, Rojin Sharafi, Elvin Brandhi, tsrono, Pouya Ehsaei and Aho Ssan.

Artwork by Amir B. Ashrafzadeh states:

“Following PEND's concept the cover-art illustrates the happenings an hour after the original artwork. Radios as metaphors for the media have arisen and taken over the city, destroying the past, the present and the future”
