Telomante - Refuerzo De Picardía [MDT003]

The Last Bloom

Composed for Irtijal's "Istimrar" series, this piece focuses on the different aspects of resonance emitted from drum instruments where transient sounds were eliminated by using different techniques.
These techniques include the usage of rotating motors, transducers and contact mics placed on cymbals, hi hats, snares, kick drums & floor toms as well as processing sound through max/msp.

Following their contribution to Superclasico Vol 2., @tomsobolikmusic officially joins the Clasico family in a major way!

Five new tracks from one of the US underground’s most exciting voices, Heavy Eyes finds Sobolik refining their sound while reconnecting with their roots. Written over eight months between June 2024 and February 2025, the record came out of a moment of recalibration. After a run of dense, chaotic releases, Sobolik stripped things back and turned their focus to groove and percussion, gravitating towards techno, tribal house and dubstep for inspiration – but never long enough for any one genre to define them.

The result is a set of tracks that balance dissonance and playfulness, with a renewed emotional core. “I wanted to hone things down,” they explain. “None of them are straightforward bangers, but they’re all playful, charged, and connected to the deep reverence for pop music that’s always driven me.”

Musically, the EP takes influence from Trekkie Trax, 85 Acid and Yaleesa Hall, late-‘00s dubstep pioneers like Appleblim and Peverelist, and the DJ worldbuilding of CCL, Gigsta, Objekt, and Kiernan Laveaux. But at its heart, it’s rooted in Sobolik’s most formative experiences in the North American underground, channeling the unbridled spirit of DIY raves like Montreal’s Layer05 and STM, Philadelphia’s Chrysalis and Concréte, New York’s Groovy Groovy and TOSSD, and of course Sobolik’s own Antidote nights. “This music is for those floors,” they say. “The places that captured my heart.”

As their seventh EP, Heavy Eyes feels like a sure step forward. “It comes from me DJing more, deepening my knowledge of how dance music works on the body and on a crowd,” Sobolik reflects. “I feel more confident now, put less pressure on myself – and I think the tracks are cleaner, more distilled.” That maturity doesn’t come at the expense of personality, though: this is still music full of texture, humour, and an air of “why the fuck not?”

The EP closes with a remix from Swedish innovator Peder Mannerfelt – ‘business (techno) in the front, party in the back’ personified and one of Sobolik’s earliest inspirations. “He’s been flying the flag for freaky, fun, bassy techno for years,” Sobolik says. “His tracks set my gold standard for dancefloor music – I did not expect he’d be so immediately down to remix my material, and I’m really humbled by his support.”

With Heavy Eyes, Sobolik delivers their sharpest and most focused work yet: club tracks that are fierce and frenetic, but also deeply earnest.

Perc Loop Princess is the second single on the EP, before Heavy Eyes drops in full on October 2.

Recognise 091: Sister Zo

South Africa's DJ Lag is to gqom what Frankie Knuckles is to house. An early pioneer of the raw, minimal and bass-heavy electronic style since the 2010s, he has gone on to popularise it around the world with a wealth of solo EPs and high-profile collabs. Last year, he dropped his second album, The Rebellion, which ushered in a new era that embraced Afro tech, amapiano, drill and hip-hop, all having previously worked with the likes of Beyoncé and Tyla.

He played Dekmantel Festival back in 2022 and now makes an overdue entry into our mix series with a widescreen showcase of his musical world, including some unreleased tracks from himself. It's Afro-centric but roams from silky smooth and deep jams to crisp metallic steppers via warped dub, always with an empowering energy that makes you puff your chest and put your best foot forward.

A Flooded Need is pleased to present ‘Flos Paradisi’, an album born from the efforts of international industrial legend Maurizio Bianchi and sound artist and composer Devid Ciampalini.

Conceived as a cross between a liturgical celebration and an investigation into the ideal of spiritual purity, the album is divided into two sides of exactly 17.17 minutes each, offering different variations on the central concept.

Side A is a a vast soundscape blossoming with bliss and absence: infinite dreamlike pads that surrender to an intense charge of grace and melancholy. Side B, on the other hand, reveals the sinful aspect of the flower, presenting itself as a conflictual and profound communication with the unknown, a deranged ballet of industrial drones, damaged metals and otherworldly voices typical of Maurizio Bianchi's early style.

You leave her a voicemail and everyone hears it. A version of james K slides through the valueless material “real” with fists full of melancholic ecstasy. Song collapses the unending mist around us, in a world of intensity and pain, confusion and loss, like a lung filling playfully, that makes us more sensitive, opens more wounds, to lay a path for mutual mending. She plucks a coiling, gaseous halo from the air, steadying the tempest with lulling, heaven-kissed sounds, and comes as a balm to our desperate hearts with her timeless offering, 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥- to make some light of this gum pink fog.
