Both originating from Basel Switzerland, experimental dance outlets Amenthia Recordings and A Walking Contradiction combine forces and present their first collaborative release. Both known for their dare-to-do-different approach and proudly presenting sounds that come from their inner circle of friends they compiled the Flash Crash / Hack Crash EP with exactly this mindset. From Agonis' heavy stepper to Konduku's whirlpool of low frequencies on the Amenthia side with Lemont continuing on this same low-end tripped-out tip to the slo-mo swamp sounds from Varuna representing A Walking Contradiction in typical fashion.

Monochrome Premiere :

Artist : Nawl
Track : Rivage Sonore
Album : Biotop Season 1
Label : @polen-sounds
Mastering : Artos Eleven at Melifera Studios
Artwork : Paul Rêve
Format : Digital
Release date : October 9, 2024

Label's Words :
For its first ever release, Polën invites nine producers from the french electronic music scene to share their own take on ambient & downtempo music.

Biotope Season 1 has been entirely recorded and produced during a creative residency in October 2023 in Salles-sous-Bois (France).

The artists spent this precious time together collecting field recordings from the Aleyrac valley, sharing knowledge, playing music and learning about our natural surrounding. As part of the creative process, the artists had to use some pieces of the field recordings in their composition. Polën’s first compilation is the result of this wonderful experience : a crossroad of genres, and a humble experimentation about time, music and life.

Biotope Season 01

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐄 : Nawl - Rivage Sonore [Pölen]

A Walking Contradiction welcomes Sciama to the fold and adds another full EP of oscillating rhythm workouts to the catalogue. AWC009 densely packs fast moving, ultra focused soundtrips. From breathtaking drone scapes to wiggly high-paced rhythm experiments, all sublimely sound designed with a focus on the low ends.

Sciama's soundscapes are accompanied by an essay of writer and researcher Asia Bazdyrieva. Pixels densely packed*** expands on the contemporary media surrounds that wrap and entrap us. A constant stream of images and sounds of atrocities and genocidal violence transforms into an anaesthetising haze, ever present and indispensable, yet easily ignored.

Samuel van Dijk steps forward as Multicast Dynamics to present his next full length of mesmerising deepness on A Walking Contradiction. As ever, when van Dijk puts on his Multicast Dynamics disguise, he abducts his listeners to places where breathtaking soundscapes and pitch black ambience take over. When you are in these imaginary places he creates a compelling story that is both exhilarating and soothing at the same time.

Soundtrack for Something That Does Not Exist is nothing less. It's a journey across dark scapes and icy glitches, richly detailed with topnotch sound design that creates a spacious flow throughout. The subtle rhythms that appear once in a while show some overlap with recent VC-118A productions, which makes this a very complete piece of work that shows the excellence of a producer that never stops improving himself.

Introducing  - Solma - The Consciousness Of Plants (Organic Signs)

We are glad to present the debut album from an artist within the Organic Signs family Solma One year ago, the French artist planted the seed of this sonic journey with his set at The Memoir by Hypnus Records. Now, that seed has fully blossomed, unveiling a collection of new creations. Eight tracks that define his sonic universe, where DnB, halftime, and tribe intertwine in an atmosphere of hypnotic textures and pulsating synths.
The first heartbeats stir in Mud. Continuing the path set by its predecessor while subtly layering new elements, the track immerses us in mystical soundscapes, unlocking portals to uncharted dimensions. 
Human Lessons premieres Mud from the release.

Folding the ambient techno tradition into neatly arranged packets of rhythm and space, Delsin proudly presents a striking new collaboration from Tobias. and Doltz. A project developed from a chance encounter, Versus combines classic synth and drum machine configurations with needlepoint sound design to create a quintessential electronica listening experience.

Tobias. is the lead alias from Tobias Freund (@tobias-freund), the celebrated German techno pioneer who has been actively exploring new territories in electronic music production since the early 1980s. As Doltz (@doltzdeep), Shun Watanabe has quickly developed his own impressive artistic stamp in the field of leftfield techno and ambient since debuting in 2020. After seeing Doltz perform a live set at Eden Festival 2024 in Japan, Freund instantly invited him to collaborate. After the success of the first collaboration, they went on to develop five of the tracks on Versus together, while Jiawen Wang performed additional vocals on 'We Are Not Alone'.

Versus is an album that balances variety and consistency across its finely sequenced run time, maintaining a focus on pointillist, exploratory rhythm from crisp drum machines and twitchy digitalia alike, all backed up by richly rendered atmospherics from gaseous pads to icy drones. It's a warm and inviting sound world, but also fearlessly futuristic, speaking to both Freund's decades of refinement and the startling clarity of Doltz's vision.

Neodruidic Transmissions VA – A sonic relic of mystical messages transmitted through time and space by futuristic druids.

In a distant future, druidic rituals have evolved into intricate sonic algorithms, unlocking portals of consciousness. This compilation is a collection of lost transmissions—resonances emerging from digital forests and the echoes of ancient incantations. Each track serves as a key to an altered state, where shamanic past and cybernetic destiny intertwine in an eternal spell. Psychedelic textures drift through half-tempo and accelerate rhythms , weaving an auditory tapestry that dissolves the boundaries between the organic and the synthetic, the archaic and the futuristic.

We begin by welcoming back our master shaman, KOP 32, who unveils an opening ritual woven with minimalist incantations expanding across the stereo field, accompanied by melodies that echo the very first spells. Next, Organic Signs’ label manager Jan Swam guides us through a landscape of shifting textures, sliced open by psychedelic synths and softened by a ceaseless whisper, keeping us suspended in a hypnotic trance. As we journey deeper into the portal, we encounter our beloved Solma, whose unmistakable neodruidic sound—so beautifully captured in his recent debut album—unfolds like an ancient prophecy.

We welcome Autogenesis, an Australian artist whose sonic alchemy has graced various esteemed labels. For this occasion, he conjures a track that rises in intensity, showcasing masterful craftsmanship in the art of space and expansion. We extend a warm welcome to the enigmatic French producer Sòn du Maquis. A shadowy architect of sound, he gifts us a track brimming with untamed energy, battle-hardened and triumphant on the dancefloor. Sirens wail through the air, summoned by the voice of a sorcerer from the abyss, weaving a spell that lingers long after the last echo fades.And finally, closing the neofuturistic portal, we present WAPAQ—the visionary duo of xci and blechh—making also their Organic Signs debut. They leave us with a spectral transmission, a hypnotic blend of celestial pulses and subterranean echoes, a spellbinding finale to this sonic odyssey.
