@luxxuryproblems

For a new episode of our regular ethereal mixes, we invited audiovisual artist Manuel Sékou, also operating under the moniker luxxuryproblems.

The artist’s mixes appear to a listener as diaries of subtle, seemingly tangible sensations and labyrinths of images. In the new material, he layers microtunes onto texture-rich fragments, as if breaking the recording into a series of successive frames.

Previously, luxxuryproblems was published on labels such as SPA, 76666 and Gem Tones, and has also contributed tracks to compilations from Katharsis, Sirens, World Canvas, Comic Sans and Infinito Audio. Two years ago, his latest mini-album “Flexfit” was released on SPA.

Just Breathe

Fourth and final premiere "Ciphercut“ by @genus-aix is out now. In "Ciphercut", Genus Aix reveals a new facet of his sound, leaning into a bass-heavy, raw, and darker sound aesthetic. The track adds a post-dubstep-tinged edge to the compilation, evoking the feel of a slow-motion moshpit.

Genus Aix - Ciphercut

A journey into the molten heart of becoming.

This 5-track EP emerges from the threshold where dissolution meets creation.
It is a soundscape of mystic tension, where intensity opens into surrender,
and transformation blooms only through heat, pressure, and the raw honesty of descent.

To dive into magma is to meet the source.
To resurface, altered.
