In the depths of the soul, the fire of feminine rage blazes, a tempest of passion echoes through the ages.

For the first recording of our residency, xenial co-founder @victoirevital selects 30 minutes of dubstep and grime, as a nod to flinta rage, reverberating through each melodie. 

To represent the power of these emotions, we were drawn to Marseille-based artist Julia Bonich’s fantastical visuals for the cursed princess 👑 

The set was originally recorded on Cashmere Radio, as part of the xenial takeover on March 23rd, 2024. 

Thank you Julia for the beautiful artwork (includes additional editing by Maxime Buono).

Lolito - Midnight Ripples

A riff on Jon Hassell's _Fourth World_ series. Where Hassell focused on creating ritual music of potential societies that _didn't_ exist; Ian Kim Judd seeks to evoke the notion of potential utopian societies that _could_ exist. In these times of global instability and uncertainty, Fifth World seeks to posit an alternative, with scenes from an optimistic future.

Does music need to be named? Do we need to put a genre on it? Must it fit into a box? Is there a proper recipe to release music? What if we broke all the rules? What if we let the sounds speak for themselves?
Welcome to our latest compilation. Here, rules are meaningless. This collection, featuring 30 artists from the realms of folk, noise, trip-hop, downtempo, dubstep, bass music, deep techno, and trance, is free, boundless, and eclectic. Each track is a wave, carrying you further into an ocean of sound, where genres blend and dissolve.
These artists are like tributaries converging into a mighty river, guiding you to uncharted territories. The melodies ebb and flow, rhythms pulse like the heartbeat of the Earth, and harmonies rise and fall like the tides, creating a continuous voyage through the unexpected.
As the sun sets, painting the sky with hues of gold and crimson, let the music be your compass. Allow yourself to be swept away by these waves of sound, each note a whisper of adventure, each beat a promise of discovery. This summer, Tsunami Recordings invites you to embark on a sonic odyssey, where the familiar dissolves into the unknown, and the journey itself becomes the destination.
Forget everything you thought you knew about music. Let this compilation transport you to a place where the boundaries of reality blur and the spirit of exploration reigns supreme. Listen, and let the waves carry you.

Greeting from Jakarta Indonesia with Tesaran, Froos & Officium

Wreckers Ov Civilization w/ Tesaran & Froos & Officium (14/06/24)

Landjakaku takes you on a journey through a metaphysical space where pitched and playful voices guide you into a lysergic world.
Intricate and unusual percussive elements, seemingly shaped from the ground itself, create a mesmerizing and quirky groove.

The first track begins with wobbly and watery sounds that evoke the strange and wondrous nature surrounding you. These sounds blend seamlessly with a complex 7/8 rhythm. This intriguing beginning lays the foundation for the adventure ahead, as the energy builds progressively throughout the EP.
The second track introduces a wacky dancehall groove with rolling, stoned drums, creating an hypnotic and captivating atmosphere.
The third track leans towards a more tropical and playful vibe, infusing the EP with moments of lightheartedness. The final track bring you into a spicy footwork closing the journey on a note that is both esoteric and electrifying.

dummy tree - no dream long weekend

Digital + Limited 'Clamshell' CD
@yunzero + @josephbuchan + @bdyclock

Absorb presents the debut EP by 'dummy tree', the interlocked, ambient strong of Melbourne's Jim Sellars (Yunzero), Jordan Obarzanek (Body Clock, OBA, Cloud Ice 9), and Joseph Buchan (Other Joe).

Three improvisational live cuts form the super-group’s first release, all pinched from their dovetailed performance at the ABSORBED festival in 2024. It was 4:30pm, they were backlit by the afternoon sun. Through these longform recordings, each member of dummy tree can be heard intimately, testing dynamics in turn and introducing surprising amounts of drama. There are guitars, both acoustic and electric, competing with synthesisers and woodwind instruments that build from a murmur into whole walls of sound. The drowsy atmospherics are akin to early Seefeel or Windy & Carl, although careful listeners will also pick up crumbs that trace back to the extensive catalogue of works made by Sellars, Obarzanek and Buchan individually.

You'll find the music of dummy tree to be more disarming than any of the aforementioned, a special project that is worth celebrating in its infancy, and to watch out for while it grows.

Diego Behncke
Psychic Liberation Show hosted by Nick Klein
46 Canal Street
New York
The Psychic Liberation show aims to document and recount information through conversations with artists working within sub, and sometimes countercultural, connective musical or otherwise creative communities. This is a template worth reflection as we enter a further atomizing digital age wherein the role of in-person connectivity is actively subverted and co-opted by convenient social interfaces. This program aims to create a model by which inspiration and information can be pulled from and applied to aiding burgeoning communities regardless of form, content, or make-up.
Diego Behncke is an artist based in Berlin. His work is realized through the frameworks of synthesis, fictional systems, abstraction, and the limits of comprehension as relational structures. Taking form through obfuscation operations involving different materials, his works appear as an abuse of residual conceptual and technical byproducts, a foregrounding of epistemic faults, and a strategic misdirection of ambiguity. For several years he's been releasing sound works, running his label Prensa Manual, and participating in diverse exhibitions.
