62*2: Ice crystals decorate the well-worn machines. There's a positive buzz in the air, as construction on the purple plane is progressing smoothly. I'm still getting used to my new form, but I feel like I can be of help.

A∞x - i.d.p.4 (NDJ000)

With 𝑽𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑨𝒄𝒕, exael’s offering to the ENXPL series, the artist furthers their exploration of what they refer to as “the jester’s gaze”, wherein a variable array of emotions of the fool are less than obvious to decode. In this emotively charged interzonal reflection point, exael probes these psychedelic anxieties through eight varying tracks of accomplished electronic music production. Excavating the root role of the jester and it’s cosmic objecthood, exael takes on a synchronous identity; human and computer, jester and virus, superimposed. Far from a glistening ambient escapism, or sentimental shoegaze meditations, or obligatory club tropes, exael has created a sonic terrain unique to their own narrative and positionality as an artist. Side A of 𝑽𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑨𝒄𝒕 showcases exael’s comfort in fast tempo constructions, while the B side offers slower tempoed ventures with guest vocal duties by writer Zoe Darsee moving between trip-hop and industrial affectations.

exael is an alias of Naemi, an artist residing in Berlin. Their work under this moniker aims to upend elements of divergent sonic aesthetics and musical styles, reassembling them with the intent to create diffuse, mulitfunctional contexts. Utilizing exael as an avatar, Naemi attempts to access a collective subconscious via their own, externally processing the sounds and images that permeate contemporary life. Thus, highlighting the ways in which people merge and re-combine with culture on a molecular level as a result of this near-constant immersion. They present stimulating, lysergic sounds in an organic and explorative manner instead of the sometimes exhausting vibe of highly-calculated, experimental club music.

VANISHING ACT

PURCHA$E

ENXPL18 - EXAEL - B1 Desire Is A Glitch (with Zoe Darsee)

Arriving on Twin System soon, label co-founder Nosewise features on upcoming tape 'Lurched Purple (ii)'. Continuing on from the first installment of the series 'Tendrils Lurched Purple In The Slush', this next chapter showcases an earthier, organic side to the label's output; just like 'Plasticity', which sludge-laden feel and dubbed-out sound design captures the feeling of this latest project. 

Nosewise's errantry in the void will be available amongst Dubplanet X, tobha, Officium, Sabla and Elijah Minnelli's contributions on Dec. 11, on a beautiful limited-edition frosty cassette.

If it appeared right before you, just for a second, would you either walk this fleeting path or let it vanish in a blink, hidden forever beyond the fine lining of your eyelid? Taking the road to nowhere can be tempting, just as the urge to leave everything behind. Paradoxically, embracing the void feels so fulfilling - but isn’t acceptance part of the grief? We’re all searching for our own secret place, where inner peace could finally grow from its embryonic stasis.


Much like that uncertain trail, the present 'Collage' compilation charts a course through the soft, dreamy side of contemporary electronic music. Designed either for the club or a living room, this ethereal patchwork of 14 tracks is woven from silk-like sound design. ambient techno, experimental, IDM, atmospheric dub sonic - each genre highlights in turns ultra-stretched audio spectrums, smooth instrumental lines, introspective reverberations or digital breaks.
After Jonnnah’s ‘The Next Kingdom’ - debut LP published earlier this year, this second release embodies the label’s musical ethos once again: cold yet heartwarming textures, celestial synths and volatile rhythms.

No distance without presence. No melancholy without warmth. On Me, With You, @jonnnah – aka Lyon-based producer Pierre Paumier – unspools seven textured sketches of memory, perception, and desire. Drawing from the bubbling undercurrents of trip-hop revival, he crafts grooves that don’t demand attention but earn it slowly – through rhythmic asymmetry, warm bass blooms, and momentary flashes of clarity.

Premiere: Jonnnah - 40yrs [COCLEAR003]

co:clear is overjoyed to welcome Jonnnah to its fold, with a new long-form 12” edition. Featuring Pavel Milyakov (aka Buttechno) right off the bat, ‘Me, With You’ is an album that grips its listener tight with gleaming electronica, off-kilter trip-hop and swampy bass.

With past offerings to Soleil Rouge and Second End Records – a label which he heads – there's a thread that laces all of Jonnnah’s work. Although never sticking to a definable bracket, the Lyon-dweller effortlessly floats through various tempers, peddling impeccable electronics as equally suited to colossal sound systems, as they are to solitary early morning walks in headphones. It's ambient for the foreground that surprises with flurries of two-step and amen breaks – present-day sonics that doff their cap to what’s come before.

Next up on Jugaar is a nimble EP from label boss Rudoh.

Staying true to the label’s elastic approach to dance music, Warp Speed is a frenetic, razor-sharp, and weighty record that deftly weaves Electro, Breaks, Jungle, Techno, and Minimal — never landing in one spot long enough to be pigeonholed.

‘Bye’ rattles out of the gates with a skittish riff and tightly clipped break, forcibly propelled by a pacy kick. The restive, Ghetto Tech–esque groove charges ahead before dissolving into a dense, oceanic breakdown that makes way for an unexpectedly warm-hearted conclusion.

‘Doom’ is a collaboration with Pakistani born, Berlin based visual artist, curator and producer Neroli. Her proclivity for striking and beautiful oddities is evident across a track that delivers exactly what the title promises. Ragged, hefty breaks chew through the core of the track while a bilious bass-line tears chunks out of the low end.

‘Totalled’ follows with neat, burnished drums and a futuristic sequence that form a Carl Finlow–esque groove, only to be sucked into a swamp by another monstrous low end. A deceptively warm breakdown opens up before the groove kicks back in with a vengeance.

‘Yahi Sahi’ rolls out a beautifully mangled Jungle sound, decorated with lucent synth tones, heart-wrenching bass sweeps, and tight, snappy drum work. ‘Past Life’ continues the tender thread, as sweet, soothing keys blossom and flickering vocals create a soft, graceful landing — closing out a truly multifaceted record.
