'Noone St. Encounter' and all associated works were created, produced and compiled on unceded Aboriginal land. General Merchant acknowledges that it operates on stolen land, belonging to the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora Nation, and we pay our respects to Aboriginal elders past, present and emerging.

‘Noone St. Encounter’ sonically depicts ex-terrestrial-isms that stem from an obsession of other worldly life forms. Rxex utilises modular synthesis to create atmospheres that are both biologically familiar and alien to the human ear. Probing beyond the outer orbits of the sound-solar system, Rxex incorporates psy-fi fantasy bass-abductionism to create a unique and varied sound that is informed by a distinctive modular synthesis. 

The release features an excellent remix by Naarm based Homelander that operates as a more functional dancefloor track to round out the EP.

Here's what happens once you’ve opened a portal to the void: it keeps asking for more! Following their last “Masterbep” release from December 2023 which seemed to lay new psy foundations for the label, SousTraitance is back on July 1th to pledge total allegiance to the no-start-no-end force with Mitry Claye their fourth V/A.

Just in time for the midsummer festival season, the Lyon-based crew delivers another offering of mind-bending, meticulously sound-designed tracks from Alpha Solo, Autogenesis, Cusoon DJ, ICI MTN and RXEX. The spiraling hole goes round and round, sucking in heads and bodies without distinction. The DnB keeps switching between states in the ear to provide a fluid audio experience, only to be redefined by ritualistic Techno thuds and throbs.

PREVIEWS -Mitry Claye [SSTR04]

To celebrate the first extended play on De la... je l'espère, Partial Pressure EP by Seta Loto, the Italian minimal bass gem, takes listeners through soundscapes where unseen forces shape and bend the space around them. Inspired by the concept of partial pressures —forces coexisting in harmony—  
the EP blends minimal drum and bass, left-field bass, and experimental textures, drifting between the scientific and the surreal. Across 4 original tracks and 2 remixes, the music explores how distinct components unite to form a greater whole.

All original tracks written, recorded, produced and mixed by Seta Loto

Partial Pressure

Seta Loto - Partial Pressure (Aerae Remix)

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.

B1 - Phasing Out (Snippet)

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 extend a warm welcome present WAPAQ, the visionary duo of xci and blechh. They leave us with a spectral transmission, a hypnotic blend of celestial pulses and subterranean echoes, a spellbinding finale to this sonic odyssey.

WAPAQ - Bythal Portal Dub

We are very happy to announce that the first EP “The Other Side” by our friend from Le Midi, Souzo, is now officially out!

Five beautiful originals full of attractive deepness, comforting analogue warmth, and seductive tones for the explorers of the mind.

The drexciyan grooves of ‘A175-4 Levit8’ and the pressure-inducing ‘Don’s Eternal Drift’ set the release’s mood and show Souzo’s delicate taste for sharp, icy transients and round, mellow subs. We just stepped through the gate. Following up is ‘Haze Modulator’, one of those tools you feel like never fading out with a perfect balance between cycles of coercive dancefloor energy and drop-out momentum.

‘Octotiger’ and ‘Overloaded Bucket’ open new corridors and make up the last chapter of the EP where Souzo showcases its interpretation of the drum & bass plus techno cross-bred genre, where rolling hi-hat loops and stomping syncopated kicks provide an anchor to his signature, ethereals and sustained textures.

The release is available for support on Bandcamp and streaming on Soundcloud and any usual platform.

Evolve was conceptualised out of a love for psychedelic electronic music. Genre-fluid and ever-shifting, EVVA002 presents a deeper, slower sonic palette that defines the label’s evolving identity. From goa-laced club tracks to warped breaks, leftfield IDM and dubbed-out prog and techno, each track adds its own twist to the psychedelic thread that runs through the heart of the label.

Bind

The internet confuses me. The intranet too...
Amidst screens, so many screens, this album is a journey through magnified, mirrored universes, where the hyperreal surrounds us. We are haunted by magnetic noise, while multiverse plots and virtualized Renaissance paintings (or “Nazi paintings”) vie for our attention.
In this complex landscape, we find ourselves in an open field where 10,000 beings incessantly discuss points, flaws, races, knots. The confusion is such that often only emptiness remains, invading solitude, questioning: Which one will I be?
This is the search for a route. The path is short, hurried with calm, avoiding noise and reevaluating positions. The pen moves quietly to find meaning, even when only zero remains.
The album proposes retracing routes and paths: from digital to parchment, in an attempt to keep proportions and reevaluate positions and find the soul among what is subtext, spatial note. An exploration of the noble human, the poor nightcloth in times of resounding atrocious words and damp weights and measures.
