New York City / Berlin — Appendix.files presents xochicuicatl, a 5-track collection of raw ambient excavations and subversive emotional fragments from secret getii. Recorded in NYC in the spring of 2023, the EP wanders through dream-smeared cityscapes and back again, channeling the hazy comedown of overstimulation into abstract, cathartic form.

This is ambient not as background, but aftermath — think LSD flashbacks in a graffiti-soaked alley, suddenly grounded by the warmth of a friend’s couch and a slow-burning existential clarity. xochicuicatl operates somewhere between the debris of club culture and the softness of shared space. Each track teeters between euphoria and melancholia, thick with distortion, delay, and heart.

Across its 30-minute runtime, secret getii shapes textures that hum with emotional interference: rough-edged tones that distort as they soothe, melodic loops that spiral inward, voices half-buried beneath noise and reverb. The titles alone—half revolution, no revolution, i think i’m a drug dealer now, everyone is a supermodel—read like private transmissions, at once ironic, sincere, and a little unhinged.

Dedicated to Noel Flores, Lazaro Rodriguez, and Robert “Ready Freddy” Jennings, xochicuicatl is both personal document and shared code—intimate, unresolved, and entirely its own.

Js Donny - Death Folk LP - OUT NOV. 18

Almost two years after the ‘BnN’ debut-EP as the Xtnded quartet, Brussels-based artist Js Donny returns solo for their new record ‘Death Folk’. Leaving the delicate fluttering of the butterfly for the infinite swirl of a ghost tornado, the bassist for Marseilles poectic-sludge band Donna Candy drops a minimalist yet profoundly intimate album, where everything turns black.

Co-released by Bamboo Shows (France), 29Speedway (New York) and chrüsimüsi records (Switzerland), the album contains six acoustic ballads between doom-folk and soft metal; songs that could have been composed in a dusty attic. Written solely with electronic nylon guitar and muffled bass lines, the music leaves the field clear for Js Donny’s unique voice, skillfully oscillating between soft scream, brooding whispers and liturgical choirs.

Recorded, co-mixed and mastered by Anotyne Nouel at Sound Love Studio. Ornamented with the deadly drawing of Victoire Mandement.

A limited edition of 300 smoke-clear vinyl will be released alongside the album on November 18, 2025.

This mix unfolds like a dream, floating somewhere between clarity and abstraction, body and air, melancholy and spark. I wanted it to feel like a mixtape from a close friend, something that holds space for both vulnerability and strength. The melodies carry emotion, sometimes fragile, while the rhythms bring tension and weight.

Delsin invites you to submerge into the prismatic electronica of Xenia Reaper. Across nine tracks of exquisitely rendered sonics, the shadowy producer engages in the time-honoured craft of introspective sound manipulation, folding gaseous pads into dissected breaks and running heavyweight machine pulses through achingly beautiful synthesis.

Xenia's work makes a striking impression, and they've left a breadcrumb trail of self-released transmissions on their own Xenoplex platform alongside a more forthright appearance in 2024 on the always-essential INDEX:Records. The sound is sharply realised, modernist music that revels in the finegrain detail afforded by technology, but never at the expense of warmth and charm. It's nuanced electronica for deep listening, but it also hits on an instinctive, physical level.

For Nept Polarisation, an exacting selection process took place to comb through the prolific swathes of material coming out of the Xenoplex studio. It was primarily written in their Eurorack system and Max For Live between 2020 and 2025. You can hear the shifting, expressive flair of modular manipulation and the advanced acrobatics of Max sound design throughout, with needlepoint rhythmic interference puncturing through blissful cloud blooms of melodic ambience.

Bending and folding through non-linear structures according to their internal logic, Xenia Reaper offers up a three-dimensional sound world with more than enough presence to hint suggestively at the soundsystem.

Based in Bruges, Belgium, dybbuk (@disk-wraith) is a DJ and producer whose sound lies at the crossroads of bass music, ambient atmospheres, and techno mutations. Drawing from the restless experimentation of early 2000s electronic music, his productions weave heavy low-end pressure with crystalline textures, spectral voices, and fragmented rhythms.

His love for old-school sci-fi and video game worlds continues to shape his sonic imagination, where futuristic dread collides with nostalgia. The result is a music that feels both intimate and otherworldly — introspective soundscapes that still carry undeniable club weight.

Following his debut Unruhe on Causal Chain and previous works on Swimming Pool and MONTAGE, dybbuk returns in 2025 with Sunwren, a release that pushes his bass-driven explorations further into the realm of dark, cinematic electronica.

Cyprien Gaillard - Retinal Rivalry
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 157
Release Date: 17 October 2025
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/RetinalRivalry

Retinal Rivalry is the soundtrack to Cyprien Gaillard’s new stereoscopic film, Retinal Rivalry (2024). It is an entrancing journey through Germany’s urban landscape and its layers of historical and social significance. Building on his previous exploration of the sculptural qualities of three-dimensional moving images, the work extends beyond the confines of the screen. By harnessing cutting-edge technology to its full potential, Gaillard offers an expanded, sharpened and deeply affecting novel view of the world around us.

Retinal Rivalry is named after the visual perception phenomenon that occurs when the brain receives two conflicting images at the same time. Instead of blending into one 3D image, the neural system alternates between prioritising one image while suppressing the other, causing confusion and discomfort for the viewer.

Gaillard’s film engages with these complexities of visual processing and the limitations of technology, collating visual information through exceptional, often tongue-in-cheek, shots that intertwine the inside and outside, the contained and dispersed, and the natural and built.

His camera adopts unusual viewpoints, shifting from smooth aerial perspectives to a rodent’s low gaze to the dizzying darting in and out on the bulbous nose of a sculpture, or a long shot of a train moving through a landscape, drawing us into a layered experience that teeters between a bad trip and unexpected beauty providing solace.

The film’s score draws from diverse sonic elements, bolstering its exploration of dissonance and synchrony. Indonesian instrumental music is reworked and combined with field recordings of heavy machinery rumbling and strangely melodic retching. The soundtrack also incorporates the opening lines to Werner Herzog’s Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), along with its accompanying overture by German band Popol Vuh. 

The soundscape of Retinal Rivalry contrasts its images—what we see is often at odds with what we hear. Only one section lets sound and image converge: a fractured leg pumps the pedal of an interactive organ to play a piece by Johann Sebastian Bach that repeatedly falters.

The film Retinal Rivalry will be on view at Haus der Kunst in Munich from October 17, 2025, to March 8, 2026.

Cyprien Gaillard - Retinal Rivalry (PAN 157)


Kuboraum Editions is pleased to announce the forthcoming LP ‘McArthur’ by Berlin-based composer and vocalist FRANKIE, also known as Franziska Aigner, and Dominican-American producer Kelman Duran. 
The first single ‘GRAYT’ is out now on all streaming platforms alongside its music video, made in collaboration with Enad Marouf and Margarita Maximova, and starring a constellation of friends and longtime collaborators: Persik, Billy Bultheel, Beatrix Curran, Basyma Saad and Edwin Nasr.

Sometime in 2022, at the beginning of the spring season, FRANKIE and Kelman Duran meet at the Twelve Apostles Church, in the Berlin district of Schöneberg. They were each asked to engage the space’s solemnity, and its reverence, through distinct performances. Their chance encounter, abounding with mutual curiosity towards each other’s practices, smoothened the path for a years-long collaboration, culminating in McArthur, their first joint album. Following a period of exchanging musical fragments and prompts at a distance, Aigner and Duran come together in Athens, and later in Los Angeles, to prepare the stuff and material for the album, slowly developing a body of work informed by shared hauntings, and a commitment towards the disjointed and the residual. Aigner describes her process as writing “into the negative space” of Duran’s beats—filling in, if not invigorating, their thuddings and inflections, but without rearranging the integrity of the whole. The result is an album where time and geography are made elastic, and where sonic improvisations become a site for quiet, and cryptic, articulations of intimacy.
 
Opening with a skeletal Duran beat that intermittently fractures into reggae samples, “GRAYT” emerges as the project’s genesis. Aigner’s vocals linger within the percussive absences, and the track itself gives the impression that it was sculpted out of silence. The accompanying video, made in collaboration with Enad Marouf and Margarita Maximova, summons a constellation of friends and longtime collaborators to perform a choreography of disorientation. The temporary solace of assembly surfaces. 

Text written by Edwin Nasr.
