Pep Gaffe proudly presents Take by @tofudj

The long-awaited debut solo outing from the collective’s most beloved groover. Recorded during days and nights filled with terror caused by the russian invasion of Ukraine, the music here is meant to provide minuscule relief, if only for the time played. 

100% of the proceeds go to Ukrainian charity organizations.

Preorder on Bandcamp.

Tofudj - Take (Acid Jordan Preview Skip)

The manifold artistic roles of Lisbon Portugal-based usof - producer, DJ, label-runner, visual artist - matches his multifaceted audio output. usof has been at the forefront of the accelerating expansion of "ambient" into an increasingly liminal space, twisting and morphing the genre origins of meditative and background music into unsettling, fantastically detailed compositions. ENXPL is proud to present 𝑾𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑾𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒓, usof's latest album, which draws from 20th century composition, dub soundsystems, 1990s club/rave culture, cinematic sound design, post-cybernetic dreams, and the hauntological ache underlying much of 21st century discourse.

Between the exacting technicality and heady conceptual underpinnings of 𝑾𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑾𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒓, usof also makes room for playfulness and humor. On 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘵, electronic gurgles and croaks converse above synth pads which would not be out of place on cassettes with titles like "Dolphin Magic" or "The Fairy Ring" that litter dusty corners of thrift stores. The dub bass theatrics on the title track are inflated to an absurd degree. These excursions from more formal and contemplative ambiances demonstrate usof's fully-realized world building skills. While 𝑾𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑾𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒓 may seem brief at approximately 30 minutes, its breadth and depth invite many listenings.

"listening to yourself between kid and future point ideas,
that evolution that obsessive always me

lmaooo looking back on the passing of time, family, friends,
when it was already sometimes good but somehow

when you, us, them, we, where, were, you when we bridged

feeling already like you might be making what I’m thinking" - Seán Being

This is a recording of @adriannewgent LIVE`SET at The Grey Space 28th October 2022 and we are lucky to get a chance to host it.

The Grey Space is a spot in The Hague for fundamental creativity where relations emerge between people, art, digital culture, science, technology, philosophy and food.

127mix029 ~ Adrian Newgent ~live~

Across centuries, long gone by
Veils of soul, that may rise
Fables untold, of grandeur
Chessboard 'neath, whereabouts

Ancient plea of foals & moulds
Traces retching, yet to hold
Knights - lore - forever year
Endless span in empty bam.

Self-absorbed shadows stretch in their peeled skin, wrapped in the habitude of shred chains. Elusive crate in the constant shelling for intrinsic freedom, whilst devouring figures blind a grander field in the stir - Inertia, where compulsion dispels its thorny strands - A lone roar in a fenceless herd.

Jonas Raudonius is Lithuania based electronic music composer and Black Wave events and podcasts series curator. The immensely cinematic sound of 'Imaginary Freedom', developed from creating soundtracks for various theatre performances and movies, syncs together the lines between Moog Modular System, live instruments, field recordings - coalescing together organic and electronic frequencies.

Bégayer, Préambules bègues

With a well-established signature of dark polyrhythmic realms, @sungenam has been widely recognized thanks to Delft’s @mirrorzone imprint, with a release worthy of the attention of the Amsterdam multidisciplinary @minimal_collective. @stagno-records has included a peaktime psychedelic track from the Dutch talent himself, within a VA that includes a series of parallel productions chosen mainly from the Italian peninsula. Sjoerd maintains an enigmatic and illusory approach when it comes to sound design, choosing elements of nu-tribe and transcendental techno, while for live mixing he focuses on ethereal dynamics, emotional reflection and ancestral echoes.

A3 Jules LePull - Stop It And Get Some Help

Tallinn-based producer Dharma Doom has performed and released music under many aliases and groups, with each collaboration and side project revealing a different slice of the wide spectrum of styles and sounds in his arsenal. He is something of a shapeshifter, showing up one night as one half of Ost Euro to deliver floor-filling minimal techno improvisations and then reappearing on the next to perform a raw and emotional noise set with his other trio project Keetai. Through years of moving between various mediums and expressions of sound, he has developed a subtle yet distinct sonic language — one that is often menacing and gritty, but also intimate and meditative.

His new solo EP, “A Place Between Places”, feels like a 7-track guided meditation through ideas and influences absorbed from years of side projects, experimentations and collaborations — combined and refined into a rich collage of club music and textural ambient.
