Emily Jeanne - Call Of The Sea - QYN001

"Juno Review: A record that explores deep, hypnotic rhythms with a strong tribal and mystical undercurrent, the latest Siamese Twins records pushes the boundaries of what is possibly in eastern influences underground techno. Side-1 opens with 'The Golden Triangle', an atmospheric introduction that feels cinematic, setting the stage with ambient textures before giving way to movement. 'Lens of Time' follows, locking into a deep, primal groove where rolling percussion and rich low-end create an entrancing effect. On Side-2 'Mekong' leans into tribal mysticism, blending ancient rhythmic patterns with a modern pulse. The production is detailed yet raw, drawing from rich percussive layers. 'Ruak' closes the EP with pulsating bass and deep, rolling rhythms, channeling Eastern influences into a hypnotic techno flow. A powerful release from Siamese Twins Records, driven by Sunju Hargun's distinct vision"

From the mountain’s peak, a soul, unshackled and formless, slips through the fronds, carried by the breath of the rainforest. She flows downward through currents of golden dust and spectral winds, melding into them. Both water and spirit, she infiltrates all things, seeping into matter in a slow binding of self to the world. Then matter becomes vibration again, in a ceaseless dance of return and renewal. In an amorphous movement on a liquid cadence and reverberant landscapes, she glides with the heartbeat of the forest, neither predator nor prey but part of the cycle.
The Amazon bears a scar, a crevice that absorbs like earth drinking in the remnants of a storm. Sounds coagulate into this open wound, layering and crusting over like sacred clay, not to conceal but to preserve. Like land after rain, it thickens, absorbs, breathes - matter that recomposes itself without erasing the memory of the split, healing without sealing. In this cycle of breaking and becoming, the sacred unfolds. In the heart of the forest, where soil is soaked in memory, the ritual is repeated. The rain slows, its sound diluted in the earth, returned through liquid echoes. There is tension, release, fusion, transformation. The ritual is complete.

In the 2nd EP by Stagno Records, “Amazzone”, Pianeti Sintetici and Simon Oak chart a cycle of renewal with spectral drones dissolving into tactile, liquid pulses. Rolling sub-bass bubbles like water in stone crevices, flutes rise like mist and intertwine with percussions, creating a multi-textured, atavistic composition which weaves a path between the physical and the spectral. Warm, fluid sonorities contrast with sharp, eerie tones, crafting an immersive push-and-pull effect - like the scar’s cyclical opening and closing, a tension between destruction and restoration. The result is primal yet meditative, a sonic mirage where human experience merges with nature’s pulse.

„Between Life and Death“ marks Vanta’s inaugural release with the label, exploring the nuanced contrasts of life’s emotional journeys. The album delves into Vanta‘s personal experiences with change, articulating the battle between melancholy and hope. Tracks like „Intrusive Thoughts“ and „Void“ reflect this duality, presenting a narrative that is both unpredictable and empowering. Through his debut, Vanta offers a profound odyssey, utilizing eclectic rhythms and immersive melodies to convey stories of endurance and overcoming. It‘s a powerful exploration of the spaces between joy and sorrow, rendered through a deeply personal musical lens. Each track meti- culously crafts a balance between introspection and the poignant beauty of moving forward, inviting listeners into a deeply personal yet relatable world. „Between Life and Death“ serves not only as an auditory experience but also as an emotional journey that resonates deeply with listeners, offering both solace and inspiration.

PREORDER - https://murmursrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/sonic-iterations-vol-1

This collection of music sits naturally as the first release on murmurs, exhibiting some of my favourite sounds and artists from around the world. It explores various moods of dance music, setting the sonic foundations of the label and giving a glimpse of more to come.

~ Through the furthest reaches of our feeling and thought, whispers of familiarity bring solace. It is this essence which simultaneously restricts and expands imagination. Let the adventurous nature of our beings embrace that which was, is and will be, in all its unfamiliarity. For only then can we comprehend the auditory murmurs of time. ~

VALA 4

Release date: Vinyl early summer 2025 / Digital pre-order coming soon

B1. Kaspiann - Suohunaja
B2. Kaspiann - Niin vain

@soundsofkaspiann
 
On the latest instalment of his VALA series, Finnish techno explorer Kaspiann tunnels into heads-down, mind-warping rhythm tracks of the highest order. Alongside his appearance on respected platforms such as Delsin Mantis and Optic Portal (alongside Spekki Webu), VALA affords Kaspiann the space to explore the depth and breadth of his sound with steely focus. The four tracks on VALA 4 are teeming with tactile textures and intricate detail that feel familiar and abstract all at once, perhaps best described by the titles that indulge in a little Finnish word play. 'Sammalkämmen', literally translated as 'moss palm', feels like a fitting reflection of the spongy mid-range matter on the opening track, while the humid, dense atmosphere of B1 cut 'Suohunaja' could indeed conjure a sense of 'swamp honey'. From 'Sienikieli's tunnelling rhythmic intrigue to the intricately arranged, expressive percussion of 'Niin Vain', Kaspiann continues to broaden his vocabulary within the language of deep techno, triggering ineffable sensations from carefully sculpted sonic forms and strapping them to incisive rhythms.

Ushering in the next series of 10 releases on Horo and an all new look is the introduction of a new Horo artist signing - Lemna, collaborating with an artist who has become integral to the Horo sound - Sam KDC. Together Lemna and Sam KDC are Ourea, and Ourea I is an amalgamation of their two very singular approaches to electronic music. Polyrhythmic experimental techno with tribal rhythms that often operate at two different tempo’s at the same time, Ourea I is deceptive in it’s percussive shapeshifting, but strongly effective in the hands of the right DJ.

Lemna premieres Sediment, her live show at Berlin Atonal 2017

Ourea (Sam KDC & Lemna) - Ourea I

Release date (vinyl & digital): 8th of September 2017

After the three-track Time Enough At Last, Antigone returns with Ostinato for TOKEN75. As a project, the record is thematically accurate, adhering to its title’s suggestion on both sides. The tracks play with layering techniques, gradually building a spectrum of sound around their respective persistent motifs. Antigone shifts these insistent base elements, allowing them the foreground before masking within a blend of carefully processed and organic-sounding details. 
 
Ostinato 1 is mild and disconcerting, with strings that verge on unnatural in their high pitch. Ostinato 2 is more traditionally dramatic, the space this time filled with keys that follow the ongoing theme, building to an ostentatious crescendo reminiscent of the roots of trance. 

Tracklist:
A: Ostinato I
AA: Ostinato II
