A Paul St. Hilaire & René Löwe - Faith (Vox Mix)

This album is compiled by by ‘A friend of mine’ aka A.F.O.M. International & supported by @Sameheads Berlin to raise funds for the survivors of the February 2023 earthquakes in South East Turkey/Syria and to provide some sonic experiences to the mere listeners.

Thanks to the generosity of all participating artists and the contributors, 100% of the income, generated from the sales of this album and the tracks within will be donated to Angel's Farm Sanctuary which operate at the affected area to restore life and hope.   Turkey and Syria were struck by two massive earthquakes of Mw 7,8 and Mw 7,6 on 6th of February 2023. Being one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern history, the earthquakes affected 11 cities in the region, with a death toll reaching more than 57.000, more than 110.000 injured and over 500.000 buildings being collapsed or heavily damaged. Urgent support for the rescue and relief efforts brought to the area, included 60,000-strong search-and- rescue forces, 5,000 health workers, 30,000 volunteers, and more than 141,000 people from 94 countries. This followed by numerous wide-ranging fund-raising campaigns with donations from companies, institutions, organizations, and individuals.  However, with an estimated damage over US$110 billion, it is obvious that the recovery process for the region and the victims will be lengthy.  

As the dust settles and the buzz slowly dissolves 8 months after this disastrous incident, we believe that it is the right time for releasing this compilation, not only to raise funds for the ones in need, but also to raise the fading awareness about the situation in trhe region of Sout-east Turkey and Syria.

♥ Thanks to all the artists and volunteers who added some spice to this project!

🚨 10 Inch repress coming
J A featuring Donato Dozzy - Sorella di confine | RUBBER013

A1 - Eclisse indolente
A2 - Era vitale
B - Sorella di confine

Vinyl / Digital: https://rubber-denhaag.bandcamp.com/album/sorella-di-confine
Distribution by @clone-distribution

The initial 7-inch edition was withdrawn as the pressing didn’t fully capture the sonic quality of the tracks. Rubber releases a small repress on 10-inch, a format that truly carries the sound and presents the music exactly as intended. 

Reuniting as a trifecta, J A returns to Rubber with a three-pronged EP. This time, Andrea Noce and Jonida Prifti are joined by Donato Dozzy—the Italian maestro of minimal techno, who threads liquid geometry into the pair’s vocal acrobatics.

Like a silver fog descending, ‘Eclisse Indolente’ opens. Not quite ambient—with field recording-esque emanations filling the backdrop—the spoken lyrics are moonlit incantations, spells for a mid-winter ritual. ‘Era Vitale’ showcases Dozzy’s hypnotic latticework in full effect, the operatic accompaniment gliding over a twitching beat. For the titular track—its thundering power a homage to the sound system—blasts of cold bass interject at intervals; a muted post-dub tirade, narrated by fractured, echoing whispers.

Building on their previous album for the imprint, enter ja, which leaned more instrumentally maximalist, this incarnation shifts to subtle, mesmerising sonics that let the lyrical prowess surge forth. A testament to the mystical nature of the voice, Sorella di Confine is pagan-folk for the club; a lunar chant, an ebony hymn.

The record serves as a sister release to Prifti’s eponymous poetry collection, published in 2024 by Marco Saya Edizioni. An extract from the collection’s afterword appears on the back sleeve, penned by the renowned lyricist, playwright, poet, and novelist Pasquale Panella.

Poorly Lit with @sleek-fata  invited by @notmass

Sleekfata, head of comicsansrecords and LYL Radio resident, moves fluidly across genres. Through his Cremation of Care show, he blends psychedelic electronics, jazz, punk, and trip-hop with a refined aesthetic. On the dancefloor, his sets dive into deep dubstep, sci-fi DnB, and psychedelic tribe, delivering hypnotic, dub-heavy energy."

Like The End Of The World

This but More

Silicate Tusks (Loidis Reconfiguration)

Locked out from the Illusion, this album takes place entirely in our former home. The darkened sky and gargantuan citadels line the horizon as the endless city, we once ruled as gods, stretches as far as the eye can see. Crossing the sea of the dead in search for a Beacon of Light that can lead the expedition to uncover the truth about the factions in control, what happened to the long lost architect and how to open a portal back into the colorful illusion the ignorant call home. 

This 11 track Atrium Carceri album is closely connected to The Untold and sheds more light unto what goes on in the Atrium Carceri universe and the Metropois in particular. An industrial, dark, distorted and cinematic experience unlike any other with amazing attention to detail and subtle layering, this album begs for repeated listening to take it all in.

Stagno Records pres. Terre Rare w/ @b1ju
Live recorded at @inbeatwin, Milano
Video: youtube.com/watch?v=98uNHta6Q3o

"Terre Rare S2–04 slips into a vapor-tensioned drift of buoyant pacing and retinal decay.
On the eve of his set for Evolvere x Stagno Records’ season-closing marathon, biju.biju_ steers a procession of lucid fragments—idm-shaped, slow-burning, effervescent. An elastic pace where duration thickens and pneumatic bubbles bloom, contract, and slip away.

In parallel, san_____dro composes a visual séance in long form. Informed by post-squat mythologies, magical codes, and cinematic residue, his images behave like sentient relics—layered, volatile, and on the verge of vanishing. 

A ritual of shared hallucination.

Frequencies fracture, memories disassemble. Unheard cadences and fluid impressions fuse, bending the 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑒 into new forms. Vibrations rise, ancestral, synthetic, primal. Reverberations warp, surfaces melt, light and sound seep into each other, distorting perception. 
Season 2 deepens the convergence, expanding the threshold of experience."

The single “Inertia” is the first glimpse into Signals from the Stars — Vietnamese Paris-based artist https://soundcloud.com/d-k-music’s upcoming EP, due mid-July on Midgar.

There’s something oddly comforting in the idea of a dead star still sending signals — distant, mechanical, yet somehow filled with meaning. Inertia taps into that contradiction: the sensation of being impossibly far from home, yet still drawn toward something vast, unseen, and filled with memory.

Signals from the Stars is now available for digital and vinyl preorder via Bandcamp.
