HEDON
The Hedonic Treadmill [Album]

https://vumantra.bandcamp.com/album/the-hedonic-treadmill-album

Rituals give weight to our days. They break the blur of life’s constant rush and remind us what matters. In a world that keeps pushing us forward, chasing what never lasts, rituals help us stop, breathe, and feel alive. They’re like a small death to the endless grind — a way of stepping off the treadmill, even just for a moment.
The Hedonic Treadmill is a raw reflection on the chaos of modern life — a world addicted to speed, stimulation, greed, and endless craving. It’s a descent into the kafkaesque fast-frenetic world of consumerism and hijacked attention spans that we live in, striving to turn noise into signal.
Blending dark industrial techno with ritualistic textures, Buddhist undercurrents, and the pulse of Moroccan folklore, the EP explores the tension between synthetic systems and ancestral memory. From warped mantras to distorted rhythms, each track spirals deeper into the mess — sometimes meditative, sometimes violent, seeking cleansing driven by storytelling and culminating in a cinematic climax.

Hedon - Anhedonia

Julie Lojkine took up mixing at a point in life when most DJs have already left the scene. The name Mother came naturally: whispered in the clubs where she often played, until it simply became part of her. What was once a nickname became her identity. Mother began mixing industrial techno three years ago in the heart of Parisian LGBT nightlife, shaping her sound within the hard industrial Monasterio movement.

In recent months, she has drastically lowered her BPM to align with her first productions, soon to be released on @revokrecords: 4 tracks delivering an anguishing urge to dance, as if to exorcise the madness of a world falling apart. Her sets attempt to reconcile her new and earlier influences, merging the hard kicks of Eastern Europe with the organic percussions and trippy atmospheres of the original scene.

Mother is also the founder and resident of the FLINTA collective @techno_fatale. Julie Lojkine has recently played for Parisian well-known industrial events (Ghost Night, Monarch, T4P) in emblematic places such as the Monarch, Glazart or KM25.

FADE (SUBSTENCIA remix)

Premiere of 'Idi odavde' by INVOLUCIJA & Zarkoff, taken from I poslije linije, linija LP forthcoming on aufnahme+wiedergabe & INVOLUCIJA·ORG

Vocalist & poet Zarkoff (Saša Rajković) from Sumerian Fleet joins INVOLUCIJA to deliver razor-sharp justice. You can label it EBM, industrial techno or even futuristic math-rock - we just call it Balkan Body Music.
 
"And after a line, another line" (Serbo-Croatian: I poslije linije, linija) is a flippant reference to Yugoslvia's nostalgic lament 'And after Tito - Tito!' Oh how the ethical goalposts of the past are moved, again and again. 
 
As Zarkoff warns: don't turn your back on the golden youth!

INVOLUCIJA is an experimental post-industrial collaboration with artists from ex-Yugoslavian countries, started by Michel Morin (Sneak-Thief / Polygamy Boys) and Lucija Invo.

Blush Response is poised to drop his highly anticipated new album, Ego Death, a visceral journey into the depths of raw, industrial-tinged techno. Known for his signature blend of intricate sound design, heavily distorted synthesis, soaring guitars, and relentlessly powerful beats, the artist pushes the boundaries between human and machine, delivering an intense sonic exploration of internal transformation. This release comes at a time of heightened visibility for Blush Response, who has cemented his reputation in the industrial and electronic music spheres not only through his solo work but also as the dynamic live keyboardist for the legendary act Front Line Assembly. His ability to craft immersive and intense sonic worlds is further evidenced by his recent, cutting-edge collaboration with Staticbloom, showcasing his commitment to pioneering the sound of modern electronic music. Ego Death will be released through Artoffact Records and is an impressive follow-up to Blush Response's last record for Artoffact, SPRAWL_, and is bound to appear on end-of-year lists across the scene.
