Sofia’s work is suspended between sonic fierceness and dreamlike landscapes.

Following the strong desire to compose and perform live, Sofia’s music project developed parallel to her discovery and deepening into electronic music. Her view on music as a living being is reflected on the live aspect of her songs. Composing and programming her songs entirely on hardware synthesisers and gear, Sofia lets textures morph and melodies mutate to record them and play them differently ever time.

Sofia Clonn’s debut EP 'no future: ok' is a welcoming gesture towards what lies ahead.

Sofia Clonn - no future: OK (Brainwaltzera Rework)

Deluded way in woodlands
Thousands of oaks - grow hushed
Dangling
Fog gobbles stubborn barricades
Empty caves rumble through gaps

Breathing flesh
Burnt banyan

Remember again, who's dreaming?
Who served the night with closed eyes?

Where the waters seethe, traced the echoes running along the ridge. Grown into mounds - speck of dust, above and beneath, bent in their tensile way.

'Perspective' resembles graying daze for the tense lows, that holds subdued gentleness. Belfast based musician - Verge has brought his exalted grandeur to aural fluency in the vein of gauzy, filmy rumbles.

Perspective

Verge - Acceptance of Fate

Bristol resident lee makes blissed out/spacey eletro-acid and break-beat driven IDM. His sound is characterised by an unhealthy penchant for Roland TR drum patterns, ethereal pads and tasty acid lines. lee’s tunes owe a great deal to the traditional god-fathers of Braindance but also more recent influences such as Wisp, Microlith and even Burial.

lee received his first break in 2018 with the release of ‘Solace’ on the now defunct Calcul Records. Following this, he became involved in X4 Records with a track included on every VA compilation they have released.

In 2020, lee released his debut album ‘Alcyonian’ on Concrete Collage followed later by the self-released ‘Kindred/Ditty’ single later that year.

A string of releases on other VAs occurred throughout 2020, including tracks on the Five Year Anniversary CD for Evel Records, on the VA for the mysterious Gablonkers collective and on the Creation of a Positron VA for the Bristol-based Sci-Fact label.

In 2022, lee signed-up to put out that notoriously difficult second album on Artificial Intelligence, as well as contributing a track to Artificial Intelligence’s Vol. II. The new album ‘For Emma’ is out on vinyl on Artificial Intelligence on the 30th December.

This podcast showcases lee’s sound over a relatively short four year musical career. lee says “It was fun putting all the tracks I’ve released over the years into one thing. You kind-of forget about tracks once they’re done. It’s strange to think that people might listen to all of it. Well done to any who makes it through to the end, and I hope you enjoyed it!”

Mutoscope Podcast #003 - lee

030303 co-founder Freek Fabricius made this record in honour of his friend Floris Bovee who passed away early in 2020. For the EP, Freek took some of Floris' musical ideas and reworked them - together with samples of Floris' voice - into four excellent mid-tempo tracks for the emotional dance floor. Expect dense and organic harmonies on this record, which really feels like a mini album and is among some of the most heartfelt and poetic electronic music we have come across as of late.

Artiest: Freek Fabricius
Titel: Zweven is Leven

A1: Holle Woorden (Emotional Piano Mix) 06:43
A2: Floris Bovée (Kom Terug Dub) 08:19
B1: Zweven is Leven 07:20
B2: Travel Safe (See You in the Next Life) 09:26

All tracks written and produced by Freek Fabricius in memoriam of Floris Bovée (1980 - 2020)

Special thanks to Juri Hiensch.

Don't let the title fool you - Suction Records' latest dive into RX-101's 1997-1999 tape archive is not al lush, serene melodies. On "Serenity," scorched, crunchy, jackhammer beats combine with emotional, plaintive pads, delivering a classic set of vintage-Rephlex-style bliss, a la AFX, Caustic Window, and Cylob.

RX-101 "Hearts Utd." (suction050)

Formerly a Bandcamp exclusive series by Foreseer now recieves a full digital and limited cassette tape release. We figuared it would be nice to compile both releases into one sweet little package.

The Picatrix is the name used today, for a 400-page book of magic and astrology originally written in Arabic under the title غاية الحكيم Ghāyat al-Ḥakīm, which most scholars assume was originally written in the middle of the 11th century, though an argument for composition in the first half of the 10th century has been made. The Arabic title translates as The Aim of the Sage or The Goal of The Wise.

Picatrix is a composite work that synthesizes older works on magic and astrology. One of the most influential interpretations suggests it is to be regarded as a "handbook of talismanic magic". Another researcher summarizes it as "the most thorough exposition of celestial magic in Arabic", indicating the sources for the work as "Arabic texts on Hermeticism, Sabianism, Ismailism, astrology, alchemy and magic produced in the Near East in the ninth and tenth centuries A.D.

Arecibo TXz [CS009]

Travel just thirty kilometers south from Amsterdam and you’ll find another world where jogging pants are the new cool and people actually feel free to smile when they go out. You have arrived in Utrecht. Call it Little Cornwall if you will, because it was in the South-West corner of England that lads like Aphex Twin, Luke Vibert and Mike Paradinas made their quirky yet emotional electronic music without acting cool as was common practice in the dancemusic scene at the time.
 
It’s exactly this Cornish way of life that appealed to the boys of Utrecht’s dj-collective and recordlabel 030303. Mind you, 030303 are not ashamed of their love for serious IDM and glitch flavoured tunes by contemporary hotshots .But they also enjoy watching the unsure expressions on the faces of their fellow music lovers whilst playing eurotrashy tunes by the likes of Twenty 4 Seven and Quadrophonia in trashy taverns such as Tivoli, Ekko, Melkweg and Kikker.
 
As healthier ways of living came into fashion in the 1980s, acid became more than a mere chemical substance and started to come out of machines as well. Despite their very young age, the 030303 crew became a huge fan of a particular bassline machine made by the Roland corporation and so did other now big names such as Cylob, D’Arcangelo and Ceephax amongst others, all of which come and celebrate the acid bleep at 030303 events around Utrecht and the dandy town of Amsterdam.
 
Being right in the middle of the happening acid-scene, the 030303 crew could not help doing what any other freak would do: they had to start releasing acid-tunes by Braindance veterans as well as by younger musicians. 030303’s chart-toppers range from subtle to bombastic and highly psychedelic, the common denominator always being a very deep bleep.
 
It’s just as fantastic as you’ve just read: 030303 brings a very complete picture that will never be equaled by any other crew. Feel free to rock up at any 030303 event near you but don’t forget to dress up as corny as possible! Aciiiiieeed!!!
