BTB002 - Kaisei - Relic EP (out Dec. 13)

'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.

Mixing: LOIF & Rxex
Mastering: Darren Ziesing

PREMIERE: Kontinum - Arctic Crystal [Obtuse Swamp]

SQ1: Okareh
A constellation of sonic spells shaped by intuition, rhythm, and deep time.
Beginning with a breath of the cosmos, a slow unfolding of space and feeling;
drifting into grooves that ground and enchant, where the earth speaks in pulses.
Rain speaks in rhythms. Shadows pulse.
Time folds inward, reshaping the senses.

Two resonant voices from Florence’s underground converge in this powerful collaboration between Abo Abo (Daniele Carcassi) and TOMO (Tommaso Andorlini).The co-founders of the DE RIO collective and record label both deeply rooted and active in Italy’s experimental electronic scene well known for pushing the limits of tribe and mental sound presents their first LP on the Brussels based imprint and collective Alliance.

Abo Abo’s multifaceted practice moves fluidly between clubs, theaters, and DIY spaces, blending academic machinery with raw underground energy that oscillates between precision and chaos. Whether through DJ sets, performances, or installations, Abo Abo treats sound as a living, evolving material - a fluid architecture shaped by space and raw impulse he explores as a territory in constant mutation.

TOMO brings a vision shaped by fast-paced rhythms, glitch minimalism, and tactile sound design. His sets are deeply physical, polyrhythmic journeys where IDM, deep techno, trance and post-tribal textures bleed into one another. Every element in his sonic landscape pulses with tension - somatic, spectral, alive.

Together, they craft an immersive, borderless language where loop-driven hypnosis meets granular abstraction. This LP on Alliance Club bridges their worlds: club energy and sound research, intuition and structure - vibrating between movement and stillness.

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.
