While this week’s label mix technically comes from Marseille, France, it’s truly the product of the internet. @hyperlinkfr founder Fanny Cahu is an active participant in her corner of internet music, searching for under-the-radar artists to amplify their art through the platform she single-handedly built. 			

“While there's no rigid sound, I aim for coherence within a particular niche, representing what I love most—ranging from ambient to pop to grime, with a strong emphasis on sound design,” she told Nina.

Her label mix is a testament to the label’s diverse, yet aesthetically focused and refined output. She effortlessly steers through catalog highlights, ranging from eerie ambient tracks to post-apocalyptic drum-and-bass to experimental pop.

Hyperlink - Nina Label Mix 021

The 51st release of katharsis is the album Afterlife by Danish artist Johan Carøe. The album takes shape through a collection of synth vignettes and spectral landscapes, where fragmented strings and ephemeral pads merge into weightless, hyper-lush forms. Created in a period of both new life and impending loss, Afterlife lingers in the space between presence and absence—a fragile transmission of shifting states, quiet relief, and fleeting sonic imprints. It stands as an isolated relic of a time that no longer exists—a collection of echoes, projecting the paradoxical nature of life and death.

Created in solitude on headphones and a MIDI keyboard in a transitional period in life, the album embodies a raw and intimate catharsis—the word in its truest sense. Without the usual studio space, these pieces emerged through line-in synths, VST textures, and fragments of old recordings—saxophone, cello, violin—stitched together like distant memories resurfacing. The absence of microphones and monitors lends the music an eerily virtual quality—a small life in a small box, a stretched-out portrait of a passing moment. It is introspective yet expansive, a meditation on the transient nature of memory, sound, and being.

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Oliver Ho & Danny Passarella' gem on 'Passarella Records'.

Following the success of 10 Years of Passarella Records: Volume 1, Passarella Records, the independent label founded by Danny Passarella, continues its 10th anniversary celebrations (2015–2025) with Volume 2 — another deep dive into the label’s rich back catalogue.

Since its inception, Passarella Records has built a reputation for fearless techno, electronic experimentation, and bold, genre-defying collaborations. Volume 2 continues this journey, presenting 10 more tracks that capture key moments from the past decade.

The compilation once again highlights Danny Passarella’s central role as producer and collaborator, featuring works alongside Perc, Oliver Ho, Samantha Togni, D’Marc Cantu, and Mitch Marcus, as well as material from Danny’s side project, Kempes.

Expanding on the first volume, 10 Years of Passarella Records: Volume 2 reflects the label’s continued evolution — from industrial grit and hypnotic rhythm to emotive, forward-thinking electronics — reaffirming Danny Passarella’s vision at the heart of the imprint.

Speaking on the release, Danny Passarella says:

“Passarella Records has always been about freedom — an outlet to experiment, collaborate, and create without compromise. Volume 2 continues the celebration of those ideas, revisiting some of the label’s hidden gems and collaborations that helped define its sound.”

10 Years of Passarella Records: Volume 2 will be released digitally on 12th December 2025.
