'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.

Pillows In Exile

PREMIERE: "World of Content (5am Rework)" by Von Riu, taken from «Von Cristeuf Vol​.​1 » ep available june 20 via Discoteca

Listen to Von Riu: @vonriu

Buzzing to announce the first extremely sweaty Cristofeu x Von Riu collaboration. Please welcome Von Cristeuf. 

Discoteca takes you to its parallel universe with a new hypnotic-o-cathartic EP. A blend of the best steamy atmosphere and grooving psychoactive beats from Cristofeu with the wet depth and tech power from Von Riu. An enlightening bass soundscape shaped for the naughtiest basements. Von Cristeuf 1, a blue leather sofa tech banger introducing a Mappa Mundi shroomy forest journey followed by Hit and Von Cristeuf 2, two peak high shivers trackers designed for sunset wildest kinks ending with two extra horny percussive 5am Trip-ers.

It Was Just A Dream

‘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.

@aboabosound

Eunoia - or beautiful thinking - a fourth DE RIO compilation reflecting on the accelerating life pace where sound assists the mindwork and gravitates ideas borne across fragile imaginations. A massive 17-track сompilation is featuring rising stars and boundary-pushing talents, artists whose creativity is determining the sound of the future electronic scene like Feral, Pianeti Sintetici, Vel, Alpha Tracks, and many more, a novelty substratum in its spectral variety. Loyal to endless sonic exploration for the dance floor of the present future, this release showcases the multi-dimensional soundscapes at the core of techno’s nonconformist spirit. Hear Aratak’s rhythmic pull of absolute traction, dive into Dwelve13's comforting bass and avant-garde piano, feel Answer's bleep integrity, lose yourself in Plate's circular patterns, journey through Wild Moss' psytrance reformations, and slow down for a second with Lenti Sistemi’s leftfield basis and fine-detailed ambience.

Abo Abo - Wild Moss

A Strange Wedding kicks off the useless seconds catalog with 3 original tracks carefully produced and arranged to showcase his signature sound design at the cutting edge of futuristic techno-tribalism and minimalistic hi-fi trance.

First, Wormhole Breaker takes us on a journey through space and time, escaping furious psy-storms. Aqua Sourcing dives deep into space infrastructures, where resonating oily pipes made from an unknown alloy blend with the echoes of rusty excavating machinery drilling in search of precious liquid. Finally, Pressure comes as a restless ascending trip at full speed, reaching the climax of this hallucinatory journey through laminated space-time.

Wormhole Breaker re-emerges in two alternate realities, reshaped by Nadia Struiwigh and Patrick Russell. Nadia’s version is a mutating DnB roller designed to survive a hostile solar system, while Patrick’s distinctive rhythmic explorations make us swirl as if we were lost between those realities.

Parenthesis, the new EP from Rennes duo Cwtch, is a sensory immersion in an electronic universe rich in textures and organic rhythms. Comprising five tracks with distinct identities, this opus bears witness to a clear desire for sonic exploration and creative freedom. From the immersive deep techno of Gyoza to the mental bass of Unakite and Cerebral Dissonance, via the ambient IDM landscapes of Silent & Weightless, Parenthesis stands out as the duo's most accomplished and uninhibited work to date.
