Significant Other unveils a new project: Pain Management. A new imprint presenting music and visual media across a variety of formats. The outlet launches with an original 4 track EP: When It Rains.

Christening the label with his first full length release since 2021, the producer steps out from behind the curtain with a batch of tracks guaranteed to soothe psychic woes and challenge sound systems alike.

True to the name of the label, this debut release delivers a healthy dose of leftfield club weight. Tough and tender in equal measure, it’s a record that explores in-between zones. A fever dream of narrative experiments at the outer edges of club music, packing enough punch to shake a dancefloor, but enough delicacy to soundtrack the ride home. The final product is a meeting of outsider sonics and sleazy dance tropes, body music for restless minds.

Available in physical & digital format May 10th, 2024.

Unsound Festival w/ aya @ Kiosk Radio 15.02.2025

ABSORBED on LYL Radio, aired April 10 2025

The next offering on the mix series is here, courtesy of enigmatic producer, Ismail Hosny aka 3Phaz. 

I first caught wind of Hosny's output via the @3phaz alias - one of his several projects at the helm of the thriving experimental electronic scene in Cairo (think @zulimusic, @1127music, @rami-abadir, @assyouti and so on). Their music is often grouped as one in press, but Hosny's buzzing sound design and trap influence is singular, and hard to forget. I asked Rami Abadir (ABADIR) for his thoughts - who played a show with the label in 2022 - knowing he and Hosny had made music together. ABADIR shared:

"Ismail is a good friend, right! It's true that he's more into music than his identity or image. I'd say he's the most serious and dedicated producer from the electronic scene in Cairo (next to ZULI ofc), very well organised and great at planning. His music taste is wide, although he's focusing more on 3Phaz, which I think is for more strategic reasons (since people are more crazy about club music than the non clubby stuff). Definitely his previous collaboration (under ISMAEL) with MSYLMA  gives a good idea how wide his sound spectrum is, his non 3Phaz stuff also shows that he's great as a sound designer. He has also co-produced the next album of Nadah El Shazly which also shows how good he is as a musician"

The new @nadah-el-shazly album releases June 6th, keep an eye for it, & here is an hour of confounding bass workouts to tide you over.

Mutations / Miscellania attendees will definitely enjoy, share with others who might too!

As Berlin’s favourite club night approaches its 10th anniversary later this year, it launches a new
label outfit. The first release — a compilation titled Luck, you’ll Know the reality — showcases
contributions from longtime friends and collaborators, featuring works by Aryu Jassika, Bamao
Yendé, Mukuna, and JLSXND7RS.

Luck, you’ll know the reality (EH001)

Mukuna - Zoba

Recorded a new mix for the incredible @ravlsncld -  a labyrinthine expedition traversing IDM topographies into psychedelic underworlds, grinding technoid convulsions, and shroomy, percussive frameworks before descending into abyssal, stripped-back drum & bass terrain at the lowest depths of the frequency spectrum. 

Essential listening for the sonically adventurous!

Opium Hum @ Mindbenders w/ RAVL (LYL Radio), 11.04.25

Sequentia (@sequentia666) is a DJ and promoter of Ngāti Mutunga and Moriori descent based in Tāmaki Makaurau. Drawing influence from the bass-heavy culture of their Ōtautahi roots and their earlier experimental / improvisational projects, Sequentia has shared stages with the likes of Mechatok, Tim Reaper, Moktar, Mike Q, Loefah, Isabella Lovestory and James K. 
They host a monthly radio show on @95bfm called ‘Soundbleed’, and in 2020 they founded @relatedarticles - which functions as a monthly broadcast, a club night and a record label “at the forefront of releasing some of the most forward-thinking electronic music in the country” [Flying Nun]. In 2019 they co-established the biennial 3-day experimental music event Outlier Festival, a multi-modal project platforming new electronic music from Aotearoa’s experimental and exploratory practitioners. 
Sequentia’s eclectic and boundary-defying sets have seen them perform internationally and across festivals in Aotearoa, traversing elements of downtempo, ambient, leftfield techno and global club music, jungle and more - with an emphasis on drawing connections across genres and careful curation which echos the environment. This mix is a live recording of their opening set for Isabella Lovestory at @nymphoworld in Tāmaki Makaurau [22.02.25]

@jacques-satre
@editentites

“10 ans déjà” ; ten years of music for Pilat troll Jacques Satre, and nearly as long for our friendship. From acid-tinged trance to celestial Balearic synths and demonic sludge-metal, the psychedelic spectrum gets playfully dismantled into psychoactive dubs, reinvented folk, mellow melodies, and Jacques’ typical humor to turn up the dancefloor.
This album says nothing new, it just echoes the same old paradox on my stubborn friend: bad jokes masking a mind too delicate for daylight.

Out June 23 on Éditentités, in CD and digital:
