On Friday, August 13, Shayne Oliver and Arca took to NTS Radio to broadcast their Greatest Hits album for their collaborative project, Wench. The Greatest Hits ’88 – ’16 compilation is the first official release from the pair.
Oliver – the Anonymous Club and Hood By Air founder – first met the experimental musician in New York in 2012 at GHE20G0TH1K, an underground party Oliver and DJ Venus X would put on across the Big Apple. Over a series of years, the pair would go onto create over 50 tracks in Arca’s Chinatown apartment, soundtracking HBA’s SS17 show and releasing a slew of songs secretly under the SoundCloud moniker 88 mmuussic.
To commemorate the compilation’s release, the pair put on a party at New York club Paragon on August 11th. Oliver has also released a limited edition Wench merch drop on his website.
The small drop consists of two hoodies and a pair of joggers which come in a distressed finish, with 3D embroidered text and screen-printed giant floral graphics. It’s the latest export from Anonymous Club, Oliver’s experimental talent incubator and art platform, which back in July presented its debut fashion show in New York dubbed We Bleed Green, starring the multidisciplinary creative ThugPop.
