Polish artist Martyna Basta presents Making Eye Contact With Solitude, a suite of intimate, diaristic ambient pieces assembled over the past several months. Created using almost exclusively field recordings and her voice (alongside violin, zither and harpsichord), this collection meditates on domesticity, loneliness, repetitiveness, stubborn patterns of isolated minds and the sonic mysteries all around us. There’s a real gentleness to these spontaneous and confessional improvisations, despite that fact that making them was a way of “making peace with myself and the reality around me” for the Kraków-based artist. The artwork created by costume designer, sculptor and illustrator Julita Goździk and track titles also allude to an interest in rituality, repetitiveness and the cyclical nature of our existence.

Constant listening, instinct and intuition are key to Martyna Basta’s practice. Having studied classical guitar for many years as a child, Basta now focuses her energies on more abstract forms of art as a photographer, musician, member of the PROGREFONIK collective and Radio Kapitał resident. Making Eye Contact With Solitude follows a string of shorter self-releases and is her label debut, and a wonderful introduction to her back-catalogue for many. Slotting in somewhere between the vocal mantras of Cucina Povera, the emotional immediacy of Claire Rousay’s recordings and the carefully crafted sonic environs of Félicia Atkinson, Martyna Basta is carving out a unique corner of the ambient world for herself.

Jeremy Shaw, There In Spirit, Konrad Black - Phase Shifting Index (PAN 146)
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 146
Release Date: 28 March 2025
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/PSI

Phase Shifting Index is a time capsule record of Jeremy Shaw’s vast original artwork that includes audio excerpts, voiceover passages and music composed by There in Spirit and Konrad Black. Shaw’s seven-channel video, sound and light installation–that premiered at Centre Pompidou in 2020–uses science fiction, documentary, visual effects and synchronisation to induce an ecstatic experience in narrative temporality. Each video details the belief systems of one of seven fictional subcultural groups spread across time that aspire to induce parallel realities that could redirect the evolution of the human species through embodied forms of ritual, ideology and movement. 

"Cross-Temporal Sync" written and produced by There In Spirit. All other titles written and produced by Konrad Black.
Mixed by Konrad Black at Blackprint Studios.
Mastered by Rashad Becker at Clunk, Berlin
Design by Information Office, Vancouver.

Phase Shifting Index premiered at Centre Pompidou, Paris, in 2020 and has since been exhibited in nine international venues including ARoS, Denmark, MONA, Tasmania, MAC, Montreal and Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin

Memo marks a new stage in S Diamah’s creative journey, weaving a timeless narrative linking Algeria and its ancient Roman past from an object found in a family home under construction. The four tracks that make up Memo navigate between elegiac vocals, meticulous work on beats and exhilarating synthetic melodies. It’s music that immerses, heals and uplifts. With collaborations from Apollo Noir, Sébastien Forrester and Inès Cherifi, Memo also reveals Sophia Hamadi’s writing and production work, which has probably never been so accomplished and liberated.

"An ellipsis on the ring, a demoagent stuck in another crony sample. 
We are on a soft surface far from rational views, there is a rejection of structurality, and the prescribed dosages of time capsules do not increase returns and consciously the effect of ambivalence, the background rises and the foreground is noisy with patterns, sharply exclaiming, just as quickly fading. completely undeveloped, unbridled streams that literally mark nothing.
Noreturn Livid Spikes." - YancityGurl

Le Diouck - Grace Joke 
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 159
Release Date: 27 June 2025
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/GraceJoke

Le Diouck is a multidisciplinary Franco-Senegalese artist whose debut album “Grace Joke” was released on June 27, 2025, featuring collaborations with Bonnie Banane, Lala &ce, La Zowi, and Yves Tumor.

Born Magueye Diouck, the 30-year-old artist draws from his Senegalese roots and Parisian life to create work spanning music, illustration, and performance. Originally trained as an illustrator working on graphic novels, he transitioned into music and performs in Wolof, French, and English. He has also walked for Comme des Garçons and starred in Gucci campaigns.

His work exists “at the intersection of folktale, speculative fiction, and diasporic memory,” constructing worlds where mythology and identity intertwine. His “Fatéouma” performance at the Bourse de Commerce tells a medieval fantasy fable about Grace, a cyborg searching for memories, and Joke, a broken circus clown.

Joining labels PAN and &ce Reckless in 2021, Le Diouck collaborates across the French underground scene with producers like Modulaw, Low Jack, and Lewis Ofman. He represents a new generation of Franco-African artists blending cultural heritage with contemporary expression, using his platform to promote understanding that “embracing your ancestors’ culture shouldn’t be seen as a threat but a virtue.”
