The INTENT compilation series provides a platform for electronic and experimental music artists to share their work and set goals for the coming year, encouraging and inspiring creativity, innovation, and artistic vision from all corners of the globe. Since its launch in 2019, INTENT has become a powerful resource for artists aiming to realize their ambitions and monitor their progress over time. We are proud to continue providing INTENT as a compilation that goes beyond the ordinary, providing a truly transformative and ever-evolving experience.

It's all about embracing the momentum and propelling yourself towards your goals, and "Kinetikos" is the perfect way to do just that. This carefully curated compilation of tracks, mostly from the long-term residents of Mahorka, is the ultimate sonic fuel for anyone who wants to reach their objectives. A unique blend of diverse styles and sounds, it takes listeners on a captivating sonic journey; from noisey-electronics to ambient-drone, from acid-tinged techno to abstract-beats. It's the perfect mix of styles to keep the motivation and drive alive, while providing a lush and varied sonic palette.

"BLOOD" comes straight from the urban dungeons of Sofia, Bulgaria. It features six UK bass music-influenced tracks. LATE hasn't spared us the deep lows, bit-crushed beats and isolationist atmospheres. Broken sound design artifacts and violent breaks manage to glue all of his visions in a pitch black and punchy mix of experimental bass music. If that's not enough, we have local techno duo RoboKnob with a massive remix of the self-titled piece."

BLOOD

LΔTE - BLOOD (Roboknob remix)

In a world dominated by greed, where political ignorance is the norm, corporations are slowly imposing their interests over the world order; the rebellion grows more among the masses.. 

A sonic shock of revolt comes from the Sofia-based duo RoboKnob on our second release. Their message is simple: “We have no border. We are all connected”. 

The opener, ‘Pr4k I’, is a euphorically bleak track evolving with machine noises while a bugged out voice repeats “The pill is swinging me around”, in Bulgarian slang. 

Echoed shouts over menacing basslines and popping snares, all marching against an imminent invasion on ‘Pr4k II’. 

In ‘Pr4k III’, the programmed machine army awakens through static noises and beams of energy, occurring in the factory as the remaining sections are being assembled on an automated factory line. 

Stepping into a feeling of relief and positive energy, the first part of ‘Pr4k IV’ evokes rays of futuristic empathy. The second part, in total opposition, unleashes its power and turns the large open-field landscape into a hostile claustrophobic tunnel.
