62*2: Ice crystals decorate the well-worn machines. There's a positive buzz in the air, as construction on the purple plane is progressing smoothly. I'm still getting used to my new form, but I feel like I can be of help.

A∞x - i.d.p.4 (NDJ000)

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.

Appendix.files presents Eternal Game, the latest EP from Teleself, the project of Berlin-based producer Jordan Nason. A journey through the emotive undercurrents of 90s downtempo rave, steady breakbeats, and trip-hop influences, Eternal Game captures a nostalgia-tinged exploration of sound and self. Across six tracks, Teleself weaves big beats, introspective atmospheres, and cinematic textures into a release that feels as at home in a smoky backroom as it does in sprawling, dreamlike landscapes.

Opening with enigmadub, Teleself sets the stage with over seven minutes of trippy, big-room energy—triumphant, hypnotic, and as if plucked from the soundtracks of The Matrix or Blade. everything follows, layering Alona Verzun’s ethereal vocals over steady, polished grooves for an atmospheric six-minute reverie. Title track eternal game shifts gears, evoking the slowed-down, syrupy aesthetic of DJ Krush but pairing it with emotive melodic elements, immersing the listener in a nostalgic montage of self-reflection.

On cartilage, Teleself leans into darker territory, blending boom-bap rhythms with Mob Deep-style aggression, while weaving in trap and Detroit techno influences for a sinister, kinetic cut. The energy eases with all around you, which delivers a halftime sway infused with rich, textured atmospheres that feel like a deep exhale. Closing track fireworks in the garden of eden is a stunning finale—a transcendent journey that lives up to its name, as lush soundscapes evoke an ascent into the ether, hand in hand with everyone you’ve ever known and loved.

No distance without presence. No melancholy without warmth. On Me, With You, @jonnnah – aka Lyon-based producer Pierre Paumier – unspools seven textured sketches of memory, perception, and desire. Drawing from the bubbling undercurrents of trip-hop revival, he crafts grooves that don’t demand attention but earn it slowly – through rhythmic asymmetry, warm bass blooms, and momentary flashes of clarity.

Premiere: Jonnnah - 40yrs [COCLEAR003]

co:clear is overjoyed to welcome Jonnnah to its fold, with a new long-form 12” edition. Featuring Pavel Milyakov (aka Buttechno) right off the bat, ‘Me, With You’ is an album that grips its listener tight with gleaming electronica, off-kilter trip-hop and swampy bass.

With past offerings to Soleil Rouge and Second End Records – a label which he heads – there's a thread that laces all of Jonnnah’s work. Although never sticking to a definable bracket, the Lyon-dweller effortlessly floats through various tempers, peddling impeccable electronics as equally suited to colossal sound systems, as they are to solitary early morning walks in headphones. It's ambient for the foreground that surprises with flurries of two-step and amen breaks – present-day sonics that doff their cap to what’s come before.
