Adepta Editions is immensely proud to unveil the inaugural release of its new ALTARI series.

Conceived and brought to life in close collaboration with guest curator Roberto Semeraro (Pearl River Sound), this series was born from the resonant partnership forged during the creation of Roberto's The Amen Experience EP, a period marked by extensive dialogues that delved deeply not only into the sonic landscape of Pearl River Sound but also into the fundamental tenets we recognized as vital within the realm of avant-garde electronic music. 

Introducing "Sleek Vibra," the debut EP from Alessandro Gramaccioni (AFM), a promising young Italian artist who brings a unique perspective shaped by his experiences with the Amen Rave collective and a prior digital EP on Lapsus Records' CEE imprint. This six-track offering for Adepta Editions is a potent statement, where AFM masterfully blends and reimagines diverse genres, idm/ rave oriented sound / bass/ techno / afro- arab beat. The result is an immersive sonic tapestry, a fusion of memory and tangible form into a cohesive audio-tactile encounter. "Sleek Vibra" invites listeners on a futuristic exploration of shadowy environments, where the mechanical relentlessly consumes the organic. This intense sonic declaration holds back nothing, painting a vivid picture of annihilation in its path.

For Alessandro, "Sleek Vibra" marks the inception of a complex and profound process, representing a conscious endeavor to understand the "tangle." It's about approaching and comprehending the intricate emotional knot, discerning its junctures, folds, and the very ligaments that constitute it. Each track on the album embodies a different vantage point, a strenuous attempt to connect with something that has been allowed to become overly complicated, knotted, and self-referential for too long. Consequently, the album's development navigates these emotional filaments, chronologically tracing the unfolding of the tangle.

This playlist featues music resulting from a 12-month parallel effort on 12 tracks. The artist aimed to influence their arrangement and the physical acoustic nature of the elements, chosen to create a physical environment for each track's development. Their concept involved each component merging based on the varying solidity of sounds, which aided in building structures for rhythms or to submerge the entire arrangement. The process prioritized creating the "Sleek Vibra," permeating and evolving with each track by contouring sounds. Later, the artist focused on merging the physical with the musical/emotional aspects, leading to a holistic view. Working on multiple tracks simultaneously allowed for the creation of distinct yet interconnected worlds via the "Sleek Vibra," intended as a psycho-physical sensation. The artist's final challenge was to simplify the listening experience, favoring intelligibility within varied, sound-filled yet simple and well-defined arrangements. The album spans genres like idm/rave, bass, techno, and afro-arab beat, serving as an experiment to understand the malleability of "Vibra," with these genre explorations being the most successful.

Barcelona-based record label Adepta unveil ‘Sleek Vibra’, a dystopian missive from Rome-based producer Alessandro Gramaccioni, operating under the cryptonym AFM...Our pick, ‘Kamui Effect’, opens with a scrambled polyphony of laser-guided distress signals and shortwave interference, as if intercepted from a rogue satellite in psychic orbit. What follows is a hyperventilated stutter of metallic percussions and spasmodic low-end sequences, sound architecture for dancefloors warped by fever dreams. A harp flickers in and out like a ghost in the circuitry, while distant male voices echo through steel ducts. Nervous and high-functioning, it feels like an artefact from a club night that never ended, or perhaps never began. Grainy, cerebral, and gloriously unstable, this one’s tailor-made for heads seeking sanctuary at the edges.

Since its inception, Estonian imprint Liitheli has stood as a magnet for Baltic-bound adventurers of sound, channeling a distinctly off-centre sensibility. Their latest transmission comes from Tallinn-based polymath Rando Arand, whose latest opus ‘Child of the Internet’ feels like a conceptual USB stick plugged into the subconscious of Gen Z’s neural hard drive...Our spotlight turns to ‘Fiber-Optic Cable’, one of the album’s quietly euphoric outliers, a breakbeat meditation slathered in hi-res shimmer and digitised longing. Here, Arand spins a thread between IDM ambient kinetics and post-Myspace bedroom aesthetics. Snare ghosts and pixelated pads swim through a warm synthetic haze, while melodies glitch and refract like reflections in a cracked smartphone screen. It’s a track that captures the flickering intimacy of being online at 3AM, with no one else awake but your browser history and the hum of the router.

Soreab continues his rapid ascent through the underground with Ziran, a singular, undeniably seminal collection of richly atmospheric, endlessly swirling, thunderous bass and techno compositions that explode through the lithosphere like a fire fountain and find their home on Of Paradise.

Comprising four original tracks, including collaborations with Montréal-based artist SIM and Serbian producer Feloneezy, Ziran sees the London-based artist elevate his craft, drawing on his refined approach to sound design and sonic clarity to deliver a spacious, hypnotic, and fully immersive label debut, one that presents an altered sense of human nature that cannot be reached by words.

Dutch maestro @kettelmusic (Reimer Eising) is back on Madrid's Analogical Force with Inmate Shuffle, his first full EP for the label since 2017’s Alacasa (AF008). This release features five tracks straight from the heart of Reimer’s universe, serving as a heartfelt reaffirmation of his unique identity. Kettel’s artistry is a testament to staying true to oneself. Artists like Reimer are not bound by fleeting trends or rigid genres; instead, he carves his own paths, constantly reinventing his sound with honesty and passion. This is why his material is reviewed again and again and serves as a clear reference for many.
While Dubio (2025), his recent full-length album inspired by the soundtrack of the acclaimed puzzle game of the same name, explored cinematic and conceptual landscapes, Inmate Shuffle takes us back to the playful, melodic, and rhythmically rich territory that first captivated his devoted audience. Five tracks, five parties. Inmate Shuffle will resonate in your head for a long time. MUST.

South African imprint Kulture Lab mark five years in the game by enlisting Dutch production duo Stellar Wave for their next transmission...Our pick ‘Pepper X’, spirals out as the most untamed track. It begins like an intercepted free jazz signal bleeding through the fabric of a bent dimension, before surrendering to a dense weave of kinetic polyrhythms, clangorous collisions and woozy synthetic vapors.
