Sketch

~ Join the hypnotic exploration of the intersection of machine and body through the obscure, timelessness sounds, that makes you feel imminently breakable ~

Today’s piece drifts through subtle distortion and warm overdrive, serving as a spark for the creative world of Gadi (Sydney)-based sound artist @gi._.__ . Her sonic language dissolves the boundaries between drone, IDM, and techno, exploring how generative textures and asynchronous rhythms intertwine to form deeply emotive soundscapes.

[out on June 29] For his first album, Hidolas explores the depths of the creative and destructive forces of nature: volcanoes.

Drawing from field-recorded fragments and singular sensations gathered across the Aeolian volcanic archipelago, he delicately composes a sonic journey that traverses the seething depths of telluric forces and the serene landscapes of caves, forests, and shorelines — a quest to reach the primal source of the Earth’s soundscape.

Further Inward with biju

Stepping into shifting time and intricate sound design, biju charts a course through the Further Inward series with razor-edged precision. Pulsing through polymetric waves and syncopated shadows, his selections spiral inward. An endlessly looping dream, precise yet elusive. A cascade of shifting frames—relentless, refined, and beautifully disorienting.

Neon Cleptu 36
Warped sonics. For this episode I’d like to welcome Fontenoy @rorybolger

Close brother, Sunburn crew co-founder and Ngunnawal/Ngambri based Fontenoy with a patient melter that slowly arranges into deep and dark meticulous spaces. Thrumming atmospheres in combination  with thriving basslines that echo inside our inner being. He brings us into a new density of warped sonics. I'm highly recommending his @stockgrazing label that just saw the light. 

I’m very pleased that he participated and will be the one to guide us through his musical fascinations.

OW12 Loek Frey - Nayan

Some things simply need time to brew. Loek Frey returns to Omen Wapta with his third release on the label: Nayan. The Amsterdam-based artist shares a long-standing friendship with label head Woody92 – keeping each other in motion as artistic peers since the label’s inception. Over time, they’ve built a shared archive of material: sound sketches, tracks, and sonic touchpoints – an ever-evolving third space where their paths continue to meet as they move in parallel. Nayan emerges from this deep-rooted exchange: a distilled six-track release that fuses Frey’s cerebral intricacy with the label’s primordial uncanniness, reaffirming both as key voices in a yet-to-be-defined sonic realm.

Diving into the release, Frey’s signature remains intact – tactile, spatial, and rhythmically precise – but a subtle shift is at play. A paring down. A move toward something more reduced, maybe even more patient, yet no less absorbing. The A side leans inward: deep pressure, spectral traces, and an undercurrent of tension that never quite resolves. It’s music for staying with, not escaping from. Flip to the B side and the palette widens – kicks land heavier, patterns loosen, textures fill the full frequency field. Still deeply rooted in the Wapta world, but with an assertiveness that whispers rather than shouts. Somewhere between absence and force.

With Nayan, Loek Frey carries his Omen Wapta narrative into new territory – merging restless experimentation with dancefloor intention.
