being inherently independent, experimental music is bound to deny typical vertical principles of power and censorship that we face today even more than ever, yet it can contain a statement of the opposite nature. as we prepared this compilation the russian invasion of ukraine escalated further, leaving us with less words than ever, but a stronger urge to retain a voice. we believe that music communities are able to offer their own responses to societal changes, no matter how quiet or deafening they may sound. 

Σ3 compilation features 16 tracks by our contributors, friends, and members of the team and we really hope you enjoy them for what they are. but the important thing is that beyond a sensitivity to unconventional sound and commitment to international music communities, all featured artists are defined by a belief in human dignity and solidarity with the victims of war. 

all the proceeds from sales will be split between the evacuation initiative helpingtoleave.org and help-freefilmers.network providing humanitarian aid and power generators for at-risk ukrainians

So Wet's Water Kingdom – Parallel Campaign

Liminal, a new label series, sparked to life with a compilation featuring Slowfoam, Kincaid, GOD69, Toupaz, XENIA REAPER, usof, Losssy, Joseph Theodor, and Infra.

The essence of Liminal resides in the spaces between, venturing beyond the confines of the dance floor to traverse transitional sonic landscapes. It inhabits the fringes, where echoes of past epochs mingle with murmurs of the future, inviting introspection and an embrace of the unknown. Stirring a sense of yearning and nostalgia, the series embarks on a journey through liminal states, where belonging remains a distant dream.

/////////////////////

Joachim Spieth is a German electronic music producer known for his deep, highly textural, atmospheric ambient music and deconstructed, sometimes dubby, hypnotic techno. His sound encompasses everything I love about Kompakt, where he initially appeared as part of the celebrated Pop Ambient series. In 2007, Joachim founded his Affin imprint, on which he showcases many of his own works, collaborations (with Markus Guentner, warmth, and, yes, zakè), and other solo artists (Gustavo Lamas, rhubiqs, Droneghost, to name a few). 

I covered plenty of Affin releases on HC, and I highly recommend getting lost in the discography on Bandcamp. I also interviewed Joachim exactly a year ago (in December of 2024) and published this In the studio with Joachim Spieth on Headphone Commute. But today I want to share with you his latest piece, titled Rephrase, a single track (for now), which Joachim offered up exclusively to this community [and yes, he's lurking here in the background].

"This piece emerged during preparations for a live set. It is composed of fragmented elements drawn from various previously released tracks, intricately interwoven and transformed through a series of modulators evolving over time. While certain passages may sound familiar, the result is not a “version” of any existing work, but rather a hybrid composition — a fusion of multiple fragments recontextualized into a new and autonomous form."
 -- Joachim Spieth
