‘Metal Form Suite’ is a culmination of the sounds that inspire the label in its endeavour to create scaled events with underground and DIY tendencies. Through this compilation and curation, General Merchant is showcasing the range of sounds that you may expect to hear at one of their warehouse parties.

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.

Out of Step looks into industrial, mechanical sounds, some of which almost don’t qualify as “dance” music anymore. ex.sses, lloydfears, Ōtone, VCR and gillielove take you on a march where you feel like you keep tripping up.

The sound of glitchy, distorted things, being chopped up or smashed into pieces, this is what unites these 5 tracks in a various almost out of step with withthe rest of Bait’s releases.

https://soustraitance-sstr.bandcamp.com/album/serendipity

After three years of meticulous exploration, refinement, and aesthetic definition, we are finally venturing into the realm of solo releases: we proudly unveil today Anta Doma's Serendipity EP.

Following their standout contribution from 2023 to our “Masterbep” V/A, the French duo delves deep into the mythology of a new world in the making, channeling the wrath of almighty elemental forces. The EP features five rhizomatic tracks that seamlessly intertwine the label’s signature sound with 

Anta Doma’s own identity ; expect slow-burning industrial breaks, high-velocity DnB, and ritualistic ambient textures - all bound by a focus on sonic mutations and razor-sharp sound design.

Trois-Quarts Taxi System - Plexus 3

Beatrice M.'s Bait invites Trois-Quarts Taxi System back into the fold for both the artist’s and label’s debut album release, ‘Plexus’. Leaning into innovative 140 mutations, Trois-Quarts Taxi System dedicates his first long-format release to exploring the depth of this space and stepping away from his usual 170/80 sound. A deep meditative journey of introspection.

Taking the name ‘Plexus’ from a key he found in the street, the album is split into various parts with the heart of album comprised of three parts of ‘Plexus’ - drone-like soundscapes which retrace different states using a variety of acoustic and electronic sounds combined with samples from an anonymous cassette found in the street. This hybridisation of sound is often influenced by ideas Trois-Quarts Taxi System comes across whilst working on his live shows; an artistic practice that is very important to his output.

BUY: https://virtualforestrecords.bandcamp.com/album/soap

Kicking off 2025 to a foamy start, Virtual Forest presents a new release by co-founder 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗶𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿. 
Exploring less-travelled avenues of the bass music continuum, '𝗦𝗼𝗮𝗽' draws on broken techno, drum’n’bass or leftfield, and welds seemingly distant aesthetics with Fluid Matter's vibrant and evocative touch.
A profound and colorful EP, closed by a breakneck but delicate remix by druidic bass music trailblazer 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝟱𝘀.
