ACCENTAPE returns with its ninth release, continuing the series’ mission to connect artistic worlds through sound—sometimes by highlighting similarities, other times by leaning into contrast. This time, it’s a meeting in the middle. ACCENTAPE009 is a delicate convergence of tones, textures, and moods—chromatic, soft-edged, and deeply felt. The release pairs London-based Avsluta—known for her organic, atmospheric productions and deeply curated selections behind the decks—with Parisian producer and visual artist Adhémar, whose work channels color and form into weightless, meditative sound. Together, they offer a slow-blooming album that feels perfectly in tune with the season’s quiet shifts: tender light, budding branches, and long, patient days.

Our premiere today is “Black Mamba”—a track that doesn’t bite, but glides. It opens with a haunting spoken-word passage, almost ceremonial in tone, a whisper of myth and power that gradually dissolves into an airy ambient wash. The stillness stretches and morphs, giving way to a restrained tribal rhythm that pulses beneath the surface, guiding the track forward with hypnotic subtlety. Just when it seems to vanish into the ether, melancholic strings emerge, soft but striking—another layer of identity for the Black Mamba, both queenly and ghostlike. It’s a slow spell, not a strike.

ACCENTAPE009 arrives April 21 on cassette and digital.

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Owl - Fragments of Darkness [HNL026]

A deep dive into the unknown, ‘Fragments Of Darkness’ explores the interplay between darkness and light, matter and memory. Ethereal textures, pulsating rhythms, and immersive atmospheres guide the listener through shifting dimensions. Where echoes of the past dissolve into the infinite. This is a sonic voyage beyond the visible, a meditation on the unseen forces that shape our perception. Let yourself drift and discover what lies between the shadows.

Monochrome presents, 𝖕𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖙𝖊𝖒𝖕𝖘 𝓥 : Marie Pravda, Ankali.

This spring, Monochrome is offering each month to one or several artists to discover their influences and inspirations through a forty-five minute to two hour recording. These three recordings will focus on percussive rhythms between Ambient, Deep Techno and Drum & Bass.

Artist biography :
When Marie Pravda settles into a DJ booth she’s there to spark some chemistry with those willing to embrace it. While she is perfectly capable
of generating similar energy in her recordings for the online world, it’s the endless push & pull with the physical crowd that charges her selection and mixing. Developing into an avid digger during long shifts in gloomy basements and online, the Prague-based DJ and DIY promoter took the Czech scene by storm with her savage take on a growing range of club music – be it with selections from her trippy or dance folders.
In 2020 she joined the resident collective of Ankali & Planeta Za where she runs her regular Planeta Pravda club series. Marie has contributed episodes to numerous online radios and mix series for club or non-club outlets. She recorded mixes for Knekelhuis, hereandthere, Galactic Funk, and appeared on online broadcasts of NTS, Hör, Mutant, Kiosk, Operator and many more.
In 2021-2023 she was a member of the artist roster of Gravity Network, an international initiative for club cultureexchange in Europe and beyond.

Monochrome presents, 𝖕𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖙𝖊𝖒𝖕𝖘 𝓥 : Marie Pravda.

Arcadia brings together zakè, Joachim Spieth, and Markus Guentner in a collaborative work that thoughtfully expands the possibilities of ambient and drone music. Released via Affin, the album merges the trio’s distinct artistic voices into a coherent whole, resulting in a body of work that is both contemplative and richly textured.

Each artist contributes a defining element to the album’s sonic architecture: zakè’s emotive soundscapes, Spieth’s meticulous minimalism, and Guentner’s vast, atmospheric layers. Their approaches converge seamlessly, crafting an immersive experience that moves fluidly between structure and abstraction, serenity and quiet intensity.

Rather than adhering to ambient music conventions, Arcadia subtly reconfigures them, offering a profound exploration of mood, space, and stillness. Intricate layers unfold with restraint and clarity, inviting the listener into a world where time seems to dissolve.

As their first joint endeavor as a trio, Arcadia stands as a testament to their shared sensitivity and craftsmanship. Available on CD, the album is a nuanced and deeply resonant addition to the ambient canon, rewarding attentive listening with its quiet depth and elegant design.

All tracks written & produced by zakè, Joachim Spieth and Markus Guentner

Depths Of Eternity

Second release on Marco Shuttle’s MSP solo label. This time it’s a 2 tracker reminiscent of his earlier works (“Sing like a bird“ or even “The Vox Attitude”), so a more 4/4 slower approach than his latest releases. The tracks were inspired by deep/tribal 90's progressive house that he heard playing in clubs in the North of Italy (where the producer is from) in those days.
These are very versatile tracks that would easily fit in both techno and (deep psychedelic) house territory.

Pre-order available from the featured Bandcamp link both for digital and 12" Vinyl on PVC sleeve + Insert (digital download included)

For this special edition of the Bloom Loops podcast, we're honoured to welcome Ario — founder and curator of the acclaimed Astral Industries label. Widely respected for its impeccable curation and timeless releases, Astral Industries has carved out a unique space in the world of ambient and experimental electronic music, with each release offering a meticulously crafted sonic journey.

In this recording, Ario brings that same curatorial sensibility to the decks, guiding us on a deep and expansive journey. It begins with a psychedelic abduction to another world, and as the mix gradually unfolds you emerge into an expansive world of progressive and vintage tech house before dissolving into deep, swirling tribal techno. True to Ario's refined aesthetic, it is a set that balances both introspection and propulsion. 

Recorded in Hong Kong, at a secret location, this mix is a teaser for the upcoming Rebloom event on Saturday 17th May—where Ario will return to the Rebloom booth for our birthday celebrations, with a special closing set. 

Lock in, drift away and enjoy! Take me to your leader 🛸

Premiere: Javier Marimon - Flying Buttresses

"Missed Call" is an ambient track reflecting on missed opportunities and the quiet regret that follows.
The composition blends soft, melancholic melodies with atmospheric textures, evoking the feeling of a phone ringing in an empty room — a moment that slipped away. Subtle rhythmic pulses and gentle harmonies create a sense of longing and reflection, as if replaying a memory that never had a chance to unfold.
Ideal for playlists focused on introspection, nostalgia, emotional ambient, and reflective soundscapes.
