Duty Free

Snow Chaser

with two entwined. A set course, begun
that frenetic, wild, lustrous haze;
azure skies host the radiant sun

now you lie here, the life in you gone
in the dark outside of her rays
crimson skies bear the torch; our sun
today, my love, we'll be as one

on bandcamp and nina

when day breaks

blurer is a peripheral study exploring ways to perceive our surroundings beyond any focal point. The poetic text where the winds are coming from, invites contributing artists and musicians to collectively explore a world that has become unfamiliar yet again. Inspired by the moment Alice tumbles into Wonderland, it asks what it means to unlearn, relearn, and navigate within a world anew. Like Alice, this conceptual mixtape delves into places, things, and feelings that have been overlooked, ignored or seen as a backdrop. The text, tracks, and sounds of this compilation take us on an explorative journey—not to arrive somewhere, but to sense that what lies within the blur has always already been in the here:now.
(Lisa Walder, 2025)

Most music is used as a form of abstract translation. To unblur the personal, we abstract it and transform and transport it through familiar sounds. Through abstraction, the motives are essentialized to their core. In this, minimalism becomes a prioritisation. A blur can be more flexible. The reduction of elements could be optimistic or protective.
What this release does is observe the peripheral, to look for emotionality or personality within it, but also to create atmospheres that appear peripheral, yet are again included in the general blur.
When hearing the sounds of blurer, the focus of the compositions fluctuates and directs the listener’s perception to certain points within, not only to hear what seems essential but also to draw closer attention to the peripheral. Throughout the whole release, the procedures are very different. Some moments are vivid, almost narrative. There are deconstructed references to find, in both energetic and quiet forms. Occasionally, we pass by rearing, foggy drone walls or prancing, twirling, or scurrying melodies carried around, on synths or guitar strings. Blurer seems to harbor atmospheres of comfort in the cold, loops of spiraling memories or expressions of disorientation, that scamper around on the acoustic foundation created by the 19 artists.

2 Seconds Dream

Clair X - 2 Seconds Dream

xato is a Vienna-based Greek artist, producer, audio engineer and label owner whose heavy-hitting sound has carved space across both electronic and rap spheres worldwide. A shape-shifter in studio and on stage, xato’s approach to sound design thrives on impact and adaptability, building sonic worlds that merge brute force with intricate detail.

This year, xato delivered a 5-track collaboration EP with 645AR on vocals, as well as a release featuring production from 0neo, Brodinski, umru, BASECK, DJ LOSER, Ludwig Wandinger, and BloodzBoi’s side project yy02, issued through his own imprint xyx. Alongside this, he released another collaborative EP with Japan’s BBBBBBB, in which xato’s distorted, abstract soundscapes collide with BBBBBBB’s screams and human textures, also featuring appearances from 645AR and DJ LOSER. In tandem with his production, xato’s DJ and live sets stand as unique one-off experiences, equally rooted in improvisation and precision which delivers the same cathartic release which can be found in his productions.

For this mix, xato channels harsh and frenetic club music into thirty minutes of industrial-experimental euphoria, drawing from artists and sounds that have been inspiring his recent work.
