This place had a feeling. It was something indescribable, you simply had to experience it to know... There was a freedom that imbued everything, from mind to body, location to energy; nothing was constrained or shackled. They sat on the sand banks looking out to sea, the sun beat down on their backs as the slow and steady pulse of the music wrapped them up in a warm blanket. They were present, more present than they'd ever been before, if only this moment could last forever...

Simas Slabačiauskas has been part of the Lithuanian music scene for many years. Whether it's through his iconic Smala nights (alongside Manfredas and Marijus Klimaitis), or his 12 Inčų po žeme project with the latter, to his more recent Tribal Ice Cream duo with Middle Sky Boom, good music remains at the core of everything he does.

With his first solo single under his given name, which also marks the second release on his newly founded Sorelsol label, he invites us to find our "inner sun" through the warm, organic rhythms of 'Sun Jacuzzi' which features vocals from his Tribal Ice Cream partner and guitar from JUODUOMENĖ member Tumosa. The release also comes with a stripped back instrumental version, and two remixes on the flip from Tim Paris and a clubby rendition from Middle Sky Boom.

The project by Jens-Uwe Beyer and Thomas Venker boasts a remarkable origin story.
In 2017, Venker, co-founder and co-editor-in-chief of Cologne’s Kaput magazine, hosted a gathering at Beyer's house, bringing together journalists, creatives, and musicians. To mark the occasion, the pair decided to join forces for an impromptu ambient-electronic performance, presenting themselves as a two-man band. That evening, donned in special costumes designed by artist Sarah Szczesny and fuelled by a generous amount of Japanese whisky, Hasan Poppu was born.

Over the course of the pandemic, the duo thought about creating a record based on the live recording of their premiere show. However, the synergy of their collaborative creative energies led them in entirely novel directions. Their self-titled, double-sided album traverses a wild and raucous terrain, moving swiftly from hybrid noise-techno to giddy party ecstasy, to strange and shadowy atmospheres. Including remixes by YPY, Hibotep, Lena Willikens, Efdemin and Barnt, the 11 tracks span a dizzying array of experimental dance-facing styles. 

'Die-Biden' kicks off as a high-vibrational vocal experiment seemingly voiced by a sentient German vocoder. 'Kodō' follows, featuring Venker's playful mantra set against a stomping beat. Willikens' reimagining of 'Teiko' transports the track to obscure realms inhabited by strange creatures emitting ungodly sounds. Meanwhile, Efdemin's take on 'Ekusutashī' pulsates with a kinetic buzz.
Flipping over to the B-side, 'Sakura' is a euphoric wall of drone punctuated by eerie whispers and mystical singing. Then, the second installment of 'Kodō' takes a fresh trajectory with a touch of Barnt’s electronic groove stylings. Finally, Hibotep's 'Shojo no yo ni flp' serves as the finsher – an unrepentant trance belter that disintegrates into sampled fragments.

Loosely translating to "broken pop music," Hasan Poppu is informed by Beyer and Venker's shared love for Japan. The band takes their cues from the country’s rich sonic cultures while also drawing on Venker's wordsmith background and Beyer's flair for melding melodic tech-house with song-based synth-pop. 
Originally out on Beachcoma Recordings, Hasan Poppu’s debut album gets a new lease of life on Osàre! Editions with a digital and limited edition cassette tape release. Sarah Szczesny reprises her role in shaping the visual identity of Hasan Poppu by creating beautiful, painterly artwork for the record.

Even though he lived in the Netherlands for a while, Japanese producer and sound sculpturer So Oishi first discovered SoHaSo on his return to Tokyo, where he now resides. The Lithospere EP is his impressive debut for the Utrecht-based label. 

https://soundcloud.com/sooishi's music has a unique soothing sensation while its psychedelic undertone resonates on various levels. The four tracks on this EP are simply phenomenal, whether you are into deep ambient soundscapes (Lithosphere, Rays), wonky break beats (BLOSC Figure One) or seeking a decisive Japanese answer to early Autechre-records (Nighthawk). 

While in The Hague, So Oishi studied algorithmic composition and sound synthesis at the Royal Conservatory. "I was doing geeky programming and developed my own software synthesizer and a composition program when I was there", he looks back on his Dutch years. He still uses both elements in his compositions from time to time. And it shows, because So Oishi has carved out his very own unique sound on the Lithospere EP.

Heinrich Dressel's “Polarlys” is the first album of unreleased tracks published by Musica Per Immagini, or a soundtrack for a imaginary noir film set in the icy waters of northern Europe, inspired by the book “The Mystery of the Polarlys” by Georges Simenon. Drones and ethereal atmospheres are paired with a cinematic background in order to describe the frost of the northern seas and the restlessness of the journey: beyond the classic analog sounds, a specific use of additive and vector synthesis particularly in vogue during the Nineties and typical of vintage synthesizers.

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/michael-claus

Introducing Slow Blink, the latest sonic venture from acclaimed producer Michael Claus, who this time pivots to a more raw, club-centric sound. Under this new moniker, Claus unveils a 5-track EP that radiates raw, rave-inspired energy, marking a stark contrast to his typically more ambient and introspective creations. This release is a resonant journey through overdriven drum machines and subaquatic electro, meticulously crafted for the pulsating heart of the dance floor.
The EP showcases two original tracks by Slow Blink, where Claus delivers a frenetic concoction of saturated rhythms and kaleidoscopic melodies, interwoven with iridescent atmospheres that pulse with vibrant intensity. These are complemented by a special rave edit, a high-energy rendition that intensifies the originals' dynamic energy and is perfect for peak club moments.
Complementing Claus' originals, the EP features two striking remixes by Farsight and Pteron, adding an extra layer of depth to the EP. Farsight's interpretation infuses a bass-heavy rhythm, transforming the original into a breakbeat-driven powerhouse, enriched with a new dimension of funk and bounce. Meanwhile, Pteron accelerates the tempo, reimagining the track as a sub-heavy drum and bass odyssey. This version layers swift percussion over deep basslines, evolving the original melodies into a captivating, rhythmically complex soundscape. Together, these remixes not only pay homage to the essence of Slow Blink's debut but also push it into thrilling new realms.

Ship072 Snippets for Side A
A1 Cosmic Garden
A2 Future Dawn

About:
The Netherlands has proven to be fertile ground for electronic talent. Few can turn their hand to the range of styles that Ian Martin can, even fewer can match his sheer quality. Shipwrec are delighted to welcome this talent to the label with four tracks making up "Future Dawn." Cosmic Garden opens. A piece that blurs genre lines, soft synthlines are coupled with ruffled rhythms that immerses the listener in gentle orchestral ebbs and flows. Sounds of isolation introduce "Future Dawn", modulations reaching over an ever-widening expanse before strings descend. Drums arrive late in this atmospheric journey, a journey that pulses with a primal energy while conjuring vivid images. The ominously titled "Dead Calm" opens the flip. Soundtracks have always been an inspiration for Martin and the scores of the silver screen are at the forefront of this work. Brittle beat patterns are the bedrock on which melodies whirl, a bitter acid bass bubbling as tension builds to paranoic peaks. Darker skies loom with the marine chop of "Phantom Machine" finishing. A flotsam and jetsam of hi hats swirl in the liquid undulations of distorted bass and aquatic echoes, rougher rusted rhythms providing ballast to the eddies and maelstrom of Martin's machines.

Ian Martin - Future Dawn - Ship072 Side A [Forthcoming]

You don't have to cross the oceans, you don't have to climb all the mountains and ford all the rivers, find the last bridges and cross the distant plains to reach the horizon. You just have to uncover the mantle of what you've been told. What all the elites tried to tell you, what the fools despised, what the companies tried to sell you without you needing it. Away from selfishness and proving your own importance. "Assembly Plant For Human Priorities" is an eleven-part mystical essence synth mosaic of the integral parts of our lives that don't seem to concern us, but only until we start going to them with tears in our eyes to lay wreaths by cemetery candlelight.

As many eyes as you want to keep open, that's how many you can have. That's how much you can give away around you. "Assembly Plant For Human Priorities" is a question mark in a sentence where there is often a period. An exclamation point where many hear a question mark.
