OA302: Esthetic & Reac-Zo - Ethereal Echoes EP

Sonic technicians Esthetic and Reac-Zo return to Onset with a four track journey into liminal realms beyond the veil. The EP pulses with a haunting energy, blending mechanical rhythms with distant atmospheres. Spanning a variety of BPMs from sludgy industrial halftime to driving breaks, each track feels like a plunge into the unknown. Reverb hangs thick in the air, the music breathes with a ghostly presence. Ethereal Echoes is a sonic landscape that feels both vast and intimate, a weighty reflection of space and sound.

Ainonow is back with a powerful new offering, unveiling the double-sided single “Break It” and “Lilt,” dropping March 21st via Onset Audio. Known for pushing the boundaries of experimental bass and drum & bass, Ainonow delivers a striking contrast between high-intensity energy and intricate, atmospheric sound design.
“Break It” is a raw, percussive-driven heater built to shake foundations, fusing industrial textures with relentless bass pressure. On the flip side, “Lilt” explores the deeper, more hypnotic side of Ainonow’s sonic arsenal—halftime layered with haunting melodies, intricate breaks, and immersive soundscapes. Together, these tracks showcase the emerging producer’s ability to traverse the full spectrum of underground electronic music.
With past releases already making waves in the bass and DnB communities, Ainonow continues to carve out a unique space in the scene, seamlessly blending innovation with raw intensity. Break It and Lilt mark the next chapter in a journey that refuses to be confined by genre.

Ainonow is an interdisciplinary and enigmatic artist focused on electronic music production. With his diverse background and range of influences, Ainonow's tracks traverse a broad spectrum of sonic landscapes. Combining elements of dark and heavy drum & bass, broken beat halftime and experimental bass music, he takes his listeners on a musical journey soaked in organic textures. As one of the most forward-thinking, rising artists in the world of underground electronic music, Ainonow’s music speaks to the power of experimentation and the limitless possibilities of creative expression.

On his debut two-track EP Exile Ainonow showcases his range in the genre of drum & bass starting out with the title track Exile, an industrial, raw, and ruthlessly rhythmic minimal drum & bass song with Jungle style breaks. The second track of the EP Triturate then launches into a meticulously layered, high energy neurofunk song that holds nothing back.

Ainonow - Lilt (Original Mix)

Experimental sonic distortions hang thick on Prop Your Shattered Failing Engine, the latest EP from Berlin's Diasiva. The duo also known as Monolog and Swarm Intelligence have seen releases on a wide array of forward thinking IDM outlets such as Ad Noiseam, Bedouin, Hymen and Ohm Resistance. Their debut on Onset Audio marks another singular entry into their catalog of punishing sound design, a fusion of industrial noise, fractured breakcore, and halftime drum & bass that thrashes against the ruins of order. The EP is a monument to entropy, a brutal elegy carved in digital decay and distorted signal.

The latest transmission on Samurai tunes into half-time intensity with a psychedelic edge courtesy of leading French practitioner Vardae. Applying techno hypnotism and cinematic atmospheres to his snaking beat constructions, the Lyon-based artist delivers a pitch-perfect exercise in mystical meditation that follows a natural path from the Ancestral Voices LP.

Since first emerging around 2017, Vardae has been determined to establish a sound unbound by genre restrictions. To date he's successfully moved between cult labels such as Non Series and Ooda while pivoting from linear 4/4 to crooked broken beat without disrupting his immersive, finely sculpted production style.

Alongside his releases, Vardae is also responsible for the ouroboros festival that takes place every year in central France. Last summer, after the dancefloor closed on the final night of the the event, fabled Dutch transcendental ambient group Son Of Chi made an acoustic concert around the campfire that cast a spell over everyone present. This experience formed the inspirational basis for Vardae's new EP, drawing on the instinctive power of insistent rhythm and the spiritual intrigue that lies behind subtly dissonant tones — shadows cast by refined, restrained synthesis flickering in the imagined light of the flames.

From the rattle of timbale on 'The Light Motion' to the laser-focused ripples that charge through 'Voices Of Dispossession', Vardae bends and shapes his drum work with exacting intention across this EP. Treading the line between 85 and 170BPM, he approaches fierce peaks in his tracks with an exacting patience, building to the arp-soaked climax of 'Flaming As A Cloud' and its ecstatic, melodic crescendo.

Proudly individual and drawing from the deepest of musical experiences, Vardae's latest statement promises similarly profound moments when these pieces come into contact with the right souls and the right sound in the right setting.
