Downtempo Electronica

Neil McDonald's love of the outdoors is a constant feature in his music, hence his Lord Of The Isles (@lordoftheisles) moniker, a direct reference to the Highlands and islands of his native Scotland.

His vivid, effervescent and blissfully cinematic sound paints a soundtrack to unmade films, building imaginary worlds inspired by his childhood passion for science fiction. It is therefore no coincidence that the closing track 'Subtle Thoughts' samples the inimitable voice of Carl Sagan and is also the name of his forthcoming album on Lapsus Records.

Subtle Thoughts' is an album of sumptuous melancholic electronica that, like all his previous works, avoids being pigeonholed. In it we find ambient and IDM, but also breaks and down-tempo 4x4 beats with deep ruminations, and even passages akin to new age and Balearic. In Neil's own words, the real concept behind 'Subtle Thoughts' is "The spaces in between. Listening to the quiet voices. Freedom of expression and being open. It also contains my hopes and fears for the future of our world, but mainly hope and love".

Into The Abyss #034 | Ronny Pinazza

Born and raised between the fantastic mountain valleys of the Italian Dolomites and the industrial city of Ludwigshafen in Germany.
Spent most of his childhood playing in the woods. This past still connects him inseparably from nature and its forms of life. He tries to convey this feeling of the infinite timelessness of the soul of nature with music in an understandable language. Words can only approximate this.
His DJ sets are always driving, ritualistic. Natural sounds and hypnotic melodies allow the listener to reach another state of consciousness. This is how he describes his vision: “when time and space lose their meaning, when everyone is connected in unison to the music, united in one energy bubble, then the perfect state is reached.
No thought separates us from the great unit. Only knowledge and joy move us to the beat“. His productions are experimental, unorthodox. Since he is not a musician, he uses this "ignorance" and the freedom that results from it. Hypnotic rhythms and driving beats characterize his tracks, always filled with natural sounds.
The listener is transported in a space that seems to exist between the stars. Deep in his heart he believes in infinity and that time and space are only imaginations. His goal is to express these inner feelings with music, so in 2021 he set out to develop his musical language.
“This journey will be endless, full of universes yet to be explored and they are all within us“.

The first selection of accidental sound is curated by öf, tireless digger and accidental resident DJ.

A journey in the dark corners of human existence, through violence, oppression and the hypnotic grooves that permeate our daily life seemingly unbeknowst to us. 
But there is also laughter, hope and nostalgia to cuddle our wounded souls in the hope that resistance, unity and love will set us free.

Reading in Dust

Daylight

The Luminous Descent is a cosmic oratorio chronicling the fall, transformation, and rebirth of a star-soul. It begins high in the trembling architecture of heaven and plummets through ruptured light into the depths of a crater older than memory. Across twelve movements and a final ascending coda, the piece follows a sacred cycle: collapse, revelation, purification, and return.

The journey opens with the catastrophe of The Orbit Breaks, where ancient equilibrium fails and gravity claims the star. Through the Rupture drags the listener through the torn mantle of the cosmos, into a corridor of pressure where sound bends like molten metal. In Where the Veil Cools to Glass, the descent slows long enough for the star-soul to touch the dimming membrane between realms, condensing its radiance into crystalline form. Halo of Dark and Light reveals a suspended equilibrium—half illumination, half shadow—preparing the soul for what waits below.

With Canticle from the Hollow Sky, faint hymns echo from unreachable altitudes, fading as the soul sinks further. Pressure Cathedral marks the entry into the core-chamber where cosmic weight becomes sacred architecture, every chord a stone column forged from collapse. The Starbone Reliquary uncovers what remains when brilliance calcifies: relics of ancient light preserved in the dark.

Touching the Crater Floor brings the soul to stillness, where impact becomes silence and silence becomes revelation. From that depth rises Pulse of the Broken Horizon, a slow ignition of new energy beneath the wreckage. The Silence That Remembers Fire awakens memory—a distant echo of the star’s earliest light. As the soul ascends toward Shoreline of the Last Radiance, its form becomes diffuse, rejoining the luminous boundary between ruin and renewal.

The final movement, The Luminous Return, reclaims the upward path. The star-soul rises through the strata of its own unraveling, transformed not back to what it was, but into what it must become.

Then comes the coda.

Ember Throne Ascension erupts like a final breath of defiance—a molten electric guitar solo over a cathedral of cosmic sound. It is the spark that refuses extinction, the last ember erupting into brilliance before dissolving into the quiet beyond creation. The oratorio ends uplifted, electrified, ascending: not a fall, but a coronation in fire.

The Silence That Remembers Fire

“This piece of music is a fragment of the story of one soul’s journey going weightless through the cosmos, lost in translation several years after the explosion of planet Earth”  Raphael’s tastes in sound spread extensively and boundlessly, continuously evolving for the joy, recreation and nourishment it gives. 

Originally heavily involved in the scene in Nantes, France, he has shifted noticeably from the club environment to more ambient spaces. The arresting sonic narrative pulls us unforgivingly into the depths of the subconscious - it is an inexorable descent into an underworld, a beguiling journey through forgotten technocratic wastelands and mutating apparitions. 

Psychosomatic polyphonies spill into the space, an amorphous field of outer-space frequencies. Vocal transmissions dictate the quiet historical drama throughout, marking the cinematic transitions that seep across this fluid backdrop.
