I don't know what kind of magic this is, so many layers of texture but you can hear the underlying harmony. I love this track. Mixed it in: https://soundcloud.com/frshmt/decompression-ep1. ❤️

Significant Other unveils a new project: Pain Management. A new imprint presenting music and visual media across a variety of formats. The outlet launches with an original 4 track EP: When It Rains.

Christening the label with his first full length release since 2021, the producer steps out from behind the curtain with a batch of tracks guaranteed to soothe psychic woes and challenge sound systems alike.

True to the name of the label, this debut release delivers a healthy dose of leftfield club weight. Tough and tender in equal measure, it’s a record that explores in-between zones. A fever dream of narrative experiments at the outer edges of club music, packing enough punch to shake a dancefloor, but enough delicacy to soundtrack the ride home. The final product is a meeting of outsider sonics and sleazy dance tropes, body music for restless minds.

Available in physical & digital format May 10th, 2024.

When It Rains

Significant Other - RPG Ft. James K

Pain Management welcomes London cult favourite DJ ojo, who arrives on the label with a hazy three tracker of trademark nether zone system music. On his most dubbed out full length to date, ojo span’s the full emotive spectrum of dub sonics with a range of both the eerie and more tender expansions of low end atmospherics, the resulting 12” equally suited for the club and the journey home alike.

‘Tongue Tied’ opens the record, a lysergic offering from the darker edges of dub music. A slippery fugue-state hit of narco-ambience built around a crooning, intelligible vocal refrain and chest shot sub weight. A real nightfall system pusher built to simmer in the early hours. It kicks off the EP on an amorphous, hypnotic note that sustains throughout.‘Oil Dub’ sinks deeper into the fog, melodic kinesis and expansive delays upholding an underworld of feedbacked percussion and tongue in cheek sub motion; a seven minute sound bath of ambiguous dub ASMR.

The B-side balances out the darker strains found on its counterpart with an overtly tender digidub closer. Clocking in at almost ten minutes long ‘Cloud Suck’ is a nebulous bliss of perpetually ascending late-summer warmth. The kind of liminal dream-state embrace that you wish would never end. True to the name, it evokes tender, dusk and dawn hued moments, a quiet ride-home flash of introspection on the way to or from some pursuit of meaning. Pain Management essential right here.

Limited run of 200 hand-stamped 12” records available now.

pi premiere: Alien D - Soil Dub [Theory Therapy]

The Way Of Time takes loose inspiration from Elizabeth Madox Roberts’ novel The Time Of Man, sampling Joan Lorring’s voice from the 1951 radio play adaptation of the novel.
Biosphere’s signature ambient loops, soothing arctic synths and melodies combine with Lorring’s sweet, wistful and deep-south wonderings to create a record that is both deeply human and searching.

Tracklist:
01 – Melted Reality (4:17)
02 – Spectral Tracing (feat. Corell) (3:55)
03 – Emitting (4:34)
04 – Receiver (feat. mu tate) (2:40)
05 – Deviate (4:09)
06 – Sensors (3:52)
07 – Soft Liminal (3:07)
08 – Involved (feat. Nick Malkin) (3:45)
09 – Submerge (4:04)
10 – Sign (4:08)

A LP from experimental sound artist Igor Dyachenko. Featuring contributions from Corell, mu tate, and Nick Malkin the album is a masterclass in textural precision and sonic exploration. With artwork by Yaro Svyatykh and design by Amos Turner, Post Ambient Lux unfolds as one of the most appendix.files-coded releases to date—a record equally concerned with process, perception, and the emotional charge of deep listening.

The album finds focus in its opening track, Melted Reality—a trickling digital stream that gives way to a tidal swell of noise. It's followed by Spectral Tracing, featuring Corell, where this momentum disintegrates and reforms—sonic matter in flux, with molecular fragments melting, colliding, and dissolving again. On Emitting, shimmering vistas seem to generate in real time, like catching up to the edge of the universe and witnessing the raw formation of particles, dust, and energy—enormous and infinitesimal at once. Tangible references dissolve in an instant a million years long. This is an album for the deep thinker and deep listener—as much philosophical as it is sonic. If science fiction were rewritten with the restraint of contemporary minimalism, and stitched into a Craig Green silhouette, this is what it would sound like. On Deviate, the machinery of this imagined space clicks into motion—a dimensional garment assembled in precise layers, operating in intricate order to maintain equilibrium in a liminal zone.

Flipping the disc, we first hear Sensors—where rhythmic consistency hints at orientation, and a sense of direction begins to emerge. Though distractions abound, the path remains porous. Enter Soft Liminal—a moment of surrender where you begin to trust the chaos, and even find nourishment in it. That state of perpetual near-emergence begins to feel less like tension, more like clarity. Involved, featuring Nick Malkin, introduces a familiar tone breaking through the fog—an anchor within the blur—offering reality not as imposition, but as option. Then comes Submerge, inviting a full descent into liquid data, vast fields of signal moving through the nervous system. The closing piece, Sign, gathers these moments with a sense of quiet coherence. This is the wisdom of ambience—a kind of Tao for experimental sound—philosophy rendered as aesthetic, as method, as both catalyst and control.

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Blossoms Overnight - Ryumara [GIFKIKKER011]

Introducing [GIFKIKKER011]. The debut of Blossoms Overnight, that sits you down in a euphoric, soft-tinted atmosphere from the get-go. While vibrant scapes get interwoven, accessed, or accompanied by smooth percussion, the listener is exposed to the act of exploring sounds underneath what’s already there.
Metaphorically, this album is cleansing, as foam gliding over a windshield in a brush-style carwash, resembling crashing sea waves as seen from underwater. It prescribes a mesmerizing softness and dense relaxation, while the mind and soul are carelessly taken on a sweet ride through dubby hypnoticness with breaky features.

Topping off this stellar release is a beautiful remix by a. brehme, aligning with the inner feel of the EP.

Produced by: Blossoms Overnight, a.brehme
Mastering: Stan Vuylsteke

With “Dance in the Rain”, Niklas Worgt delivers a deeply emotional Breakbeat journey that captures both melancholy and euphoria. Driven by crisp, rolling drums and cinematic synth layers, the track builds tension with haunting atmospheres before breaking into a powerful, dramatic drop.
