‘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.

STGZ001 Discobasis - Said the Light

For the first release on Stock Grazing, Ngunnawal/Canberra-based sound designer, Discobasis, crafts an impressive collection of deep-listening tracks for his debut along with a feature from multidisciplinary artist, umki.

Drawing influence from muggy ambient and dub tones, Said the Light seeks further hypnosis, descending into abyssal depths. Across each sombre soundscape, Discobasis carefully weaves organic textures with sharp glitches. Despite their apparent discord, these elements intertwine and dance with an eerie harmony, luring listeners into the uncharted. The fractured rhythms force a desultory march, each kick demanding attention as it grates against the senses. It’s a visceral experience, where tension rises and lingers, offering subtle rewards to those willing to lean in.

Sub Basics lands on Osmura with the 'Phase Drift' EP, the label's second release, following a 2024 V/A featuring Caldera, Bartoli, Atomic Moog, Solma, Birgan, and Shjva. The ‘Phase Drift’ EP opens with ‘Colour’, a high-tempo, percussive, bass-heavy cut blends hypnotic echoing synths with soft, mellow syncopated pads. Up next, ‘Scope’ works a tumbling high bpm percussion over an aquatic undercurrent. On the flip, ‘Splinter’, Sub Basics deftly builds melodies and brings punchy, moody textures to the fore. Finally, the ‘Phase Drift’ EP wraps up with ‘Nt’, a deep, expansive soundscape marked by a chugging groove and gritty industrial reverb.

London-based Sub Basics producer, DJ and Temple Of Sound founder has accumulated support from Ben UFO, Laurent Garnier, Roman Flügal, Kia, Lena Willikens, Tasha and Foundation Audio. Sub Basics’ discography extends to labels such as Modern Hypnosis, Infernal Sounds and Bait, which featured in Mixmag’s 2024 best tracks of the year roundup. The ‘Phase Drift’ EP perfectly encapsulates a unique genre-defying approach to production from an artist on a spiralling upward trajectory. Sub Basics arrives on Osmura, an imprint representing London’s hypnotic dubby auditory landscape.

Aawadh - Dyadica  (album)

Priori’s hit EP Pareidolia gets a well deserved remix treatment. The relation between Priori and Midgar started early 2023 with the release of his Pareidolia EP, where a remix for Keplrr followed quickly the year after. Now, early 2025, a group of close friends and admired artists were invited to rework the Pareidolia’s originals.

Midgar affiliate Forest Drive West uses the opportunity to present not one but two remixes. Presenting one half-time 85 bpm twist of Hazard and another slow-paced murky techno groover. Originally from Montreal, Maara forms the Canadian connection and she turns Memory Palace into a beautiful bouncy dub-techno floater. Sound experimentalist Notte Infinita takes his turn on Pareidolia’s title track and creates some magnificent eyes-closed drum & bass hypnotism. At last, Amsterdam’s upsammy brings back the light with her iconic playful approach. She flips the steady groove of Glass Shards into a jumpy interplay of rhythms and joy.
