Julek ploski’s ‘Give up Channel’ is on mappa. It’s the follow-up to the Poland-based FL Studio demon’s ‘Hotel *****’, released via Orange Milk in 2023.

It’s an album that wrestles against a shadow self. It’s about shelter from the hailstorm of unwanted memories and guilt pangs and serrated blades of thought. It’s about clinging on to some semblance of hope, knuckles taut and teeth gritted.

The fragmented drift of opener ‘Naysayer’ flows forward like an anxious daydream, pad eddies and piano plinks anchored by Trapaholics drops and bursts of guaracha drums. It’s a mess of mind: the bleakness of ‘Truth’ is punctuated by gun cocking and bullet spray and sudden jester-like blasts of unhinged, schizo-whimsical melody. An internal war without a clear winner.

Shame snakes through this music like venom through an emaciated body. Blue screenlight in a dark bedroom, pulsating temples, lockjaw. ‘Titanic’ hits like the thrashing resistance of a being built for love grappling against the scalding vengefulness it’s forced to contend with, the song’s abstracted rave synths giving way to warped voices and spiralling derangement. ‘Hollywood’ is a scarred battleground, the martial bludgeoning of a tightly wound hardstyle stomp blistering and shredding a delicate piano-and-string arrangement.

This music is about deep solitude, a meditation on simmering, slow-marinating hatred. But it’s ultimately about prevailing. It doesn’t revel in negativity, it roils and twists and writhes against it. Dots of light in oppressive darkness. Clarity and purpose against chaos and filth. It’s a struggle worth waging.

Lux18 (@lux18), Paris-born/based, draws quick and precise for his first outing on Body Motion - presenting an exquisite shard in Right On Time which fuses the edges of post-symphonic, trap, emo, deconstructed club, and hyperpop. Resulting is a sound which is elegiac, unabashed, cheeky, and full in its resonant weight - Right On Time harkens a forthcoming LP for Body Motion, which will land in June. 

Closely tied to Brussels’ underground scene known for its cross-disciplinary approach and unfiltered energy, Lux18’s practice spans DJ sets, live performance, and production; since 2021 he has co-run Todo Recto, his label which focuses on forward-leaning club mutations and experimental/dark ambient. With regular appearances at Kiosk and LYL Radio, Horst, and C12, his debut LP reflects this trajectory—shaped by experimentation, rooted in the club.

Each track is crafted to awaken the spirit, expand the mind, and keep the dancefloor alive from dusk till dawn. This album is not just music – it’s an odyssey into the infinite.
