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.

@karisa-correa - 'cold metal, heavy mind' is part of Gravity Pleasure's inaugural release, Water Bodies: a rippling compilation of FLINTA* artists and collaborators that invites listeners into an aqueous paraworld.

Across 21 tracks, Water Bodies spans a post-genre miasma of ethereal mermaid music, cathartic flows, and glistening sibilants ~ each one an exquisite message-in-a-bottle of deep diving emotionality. Pulling from a wide-range of musical perspectives ~ field recording, lovesick ballads, shimmering downtempo, post-party comedown, and percolating ambient ~ the compilation contains multitudes yet maintains deep sentimental coherence. Like a wave crashing in slow motion, it sonifies possible ways of being, insisting on the porous, the interdependent, and the deep and unruly. Water Bodies reminds us that home is a body made of water, to which we all belong.

~~*~~

Home is a body made of water.
Remember.

Close eyes.
Listen to drips; hear voices.
What do they tell you?
Make your body a grotto.
What does it hold?

Spider’s tapestry: flycatcher.
Roadmap: net of sinews.
Lost in night forest: seek breadcrumbs.
Remember?
Body is lighthouse: shine through cloud canopy.
Body is fish: wet is all you know.

Sink deep, fly high,
stretch your arpeggio from young to old.
Remember.
