What Do U Want?

Premiere: K Wata - What Do U Want? (Hard Mix)

Animistic Beliefs - MERDEKA

With their profound take on electronic music, Animistic Beliefs have steadily solidified their spot in the global underground. Influenced by cultural concepts such as ancestry, animism and mythology, as well as the languages of political techno, punk, bubbling and IDM, Linh Luu and Marvin Lalihatu consistently translate their visions into sensitive productions as well as high-octane live performances. On their new record, MERDEKA, the artists explore and embrace their cultural heritage in all of its pride, pain and complexity. MERDEKA symbolizes Animistic Beliefs’ breaking free, coming to terms with their changing selves and letting go of external expectations. The record rethinks childhood memories, confronts the generational trauma left by (post-)colonialism, and re-connects Linh and Marvin – respectively of Vietnamese-Chinese and Dutch-Moluccan descent – with their formative cultures. 

MERDEKA marks their first step in an overall departure from western club music. For its layered sound, Animistic Beliefs once again draw from the past, present and future of global club music, creating a sonic space where fast techno, warped breakbeats and ambient soundscapes make way for the augmented influence of (Southeast Asian) tribal music. 
The record incorporates Indonesian scales and recordings of 
the Tahuri (a wind instrument made out of a conch shell), Totobuang (Gamelan-like gongs) and Tifa drums, known as ‘the Moluccan heartbeat’. 
There is no audible distinction between old and new, between organic and digital, between instrumentation and voice. 
It is through words that the artists further touch on their experience; To Dream About Water opens with a stirring spoken word fragment by Marvin, marking the first time his voice is recognizably featured, whereas Khi Minh Gap Lai (‘Until We Meet Again’) centres on a Vietnamese poem by Linh, in which she beseeches her ancestors and finds a safe haven for unanswered questions. 

In true Animistic Beliefs fashion, MERDEKA will set fire to sweltering clubs and (sleepless) dreams. Yet, for the artists, it is essential to amplify the stories that spark that flame and keep it burning. 
The release of MERDEKA follows CACHE/SPIRIT, their ongoing collaboration with visual artist Jeisson Drenth, which extensively explores the artists’ intersectional identities. As such, the latest album is the next step within a bigger, introspective investigation. More unapologetic than ever, MERDEKA embodies a turning point on Animistic Beliefs’ ongoing journey towards self-acceptance – fuelled by the sound of urgency.

Thúc Tinh [Rebirth]

At long last, hi-tek whizz-kid Metrist returns to Timedance with the third addition to the ‘Pollen’ series and brings his epic trilogy started in 2019 to a breath-catching end.

Elevating an already unique approach of sonic craftsmanship to whole new levels, the London based producer delivers some of his wildest and most dramatic compositions to date while pushing further his signature blend of 22nd century dancefloor pyrotechnics.

From the angelic vocal cascades of opener « Leven Lever Liver Love » to the heart-wrenching heights of « Bullet Time », a playful and intricate display of cross-pollinated emotions shines through this collection of boundary pushing tracks, giving them a life of their own while bringing a stormy cycle of auditory experiments into human nature to completion

As thunderstorms form, pollen grains often ascend into clouds, soaking up humidity to a point they inevitably burst out, liberating innumerable particles that tumultuous winds send back to ground-levels.

With a false sense of distance and safety, we sit back and watch the lightning strike in complete awe, unaware of pollen slowly descending from the skies, making its way through our lungs and deep into our bodies ; the storm may be over, but Pollen has now fully become a part of us.

Pollen, Pt.III

After a stellar year Toumba finally makes his debut on Nervous Horizon with: 'Janoob EP'.

Influenced by the sounds of his motherland, Jordan, Toumba manages to perfectly blend traditional music with futuristic drum patterns and drony synths creating a brand new style which gives him a unique signature sound.

'Janoob' (جنوب), meaning 'The South' in Arabic, is the area of Jordan where the Bedouins reside and where most of the musical influence of the EP came from.

From the opening track 'Janoob' to the closing track 'Bouquet of Kicks' this release will take you on a journey of BPMs through its syncopated rhythms and sound design that will make you start jumping up and down in the club in no time, it's truly a masterpiece and one of the best Nervous Horizon EPs to date!

Concentrate.

Deserto tem atmosfera rarefeita. A composição aposta na repetição estendida de elementos mínimos para criar uma sensação de suspensão e isolamento.

O baixo é denso e contínuo, ocupando um papel central na sustentação da faixa, enquanto os demais elementos — texturas granuladas, ruídos de fundo e timbres pontuais — surgem de forma espaçada e controlada.

A estrutura não segue uma lógica tradicional de pista, mas sim um percurso de aprofundamento e contemplação. Deserto propõe um espaço de escuta onde o tempo se dilata e a atenção se dirige ao detalhe.

Deserto shows a sparse atmosphere. The composition relies on extended repetition of minimal elements to create a sense of suspension and isolation.

The bass is deep and sustained, playing a central role in holding the track together, while other elements — granular textures, background noise, and punctual timbres — appear sparsely and with precision.

The structure avoids traditional dancefloor logic, favoring a path of depth and contemplation. Deserto offers a listening space where time stretches and attention turns to detail.

About Arthropods

The soul is a fragment of a dream, the seed of future and past, evolving infinitely on the Arthropods* Continent. We seek out dreams and catch them, to scrape together the new Adam.

*1 ARTHROPODS： Arthropods is the alienation form of GOLEM*, and there is a soul in each metamere. They can upload, download, and link to each other.

*2 GOLEM：A golem is mythical humanlike figure made from clay and magically able to move on its own. In the Bible, Golem is an unfinished human being, without a soul. Through the process of its own evolution and its makers' experiments, a Golem can contain or generate its own soul. It can appear in different interconnected forms and reproduce itself at will. A golem with a soul, in order to speed up its own evolution, will sometimes supersede or devour the original form of life. The album Golem is inspired from this source.
