OFF AND ON © (short Snippets) Telrae 026

shakti's ( @sofia-builes ) music does not follow rules. Her art is built on structures that collapse and are reborn in eternal cycles, stripping music of its rhythmic conventions and taking it into the unknown. With ILLUD TEMPUS, he immerses us in a sonic exploration that defies time, taking us into a space where repetition is not just a simple recurrence, but the echo of a cosmic truth that manifests itself in ever-changing patterns.

Inspired by the concept of “that time”, a primordial state where the divine and the human intertwine in infinite cycles, this work transcends the merely musical and becomes an exercise in altered perception. ILLUD TEMPUS is a journey towards the eternal return, a confrontation with the idea that everything that has happened in the universe will repeat itself endlessly, identical and immutable.

From the ancient Babylonian myths that spoke of the destruction and rebirth of the cosmos to the Pythagorean and Stoic vision of the great conflagration, Shakti channels these principles into a dark, dense and visceral sound, where music unfolds as a living entity in constant regeneration. Each track is a passage to a time out of time, where erratic rhythms, abrasive textures and ethereal atmospheres confront us with the haunting notion of an inescapable destiny.

The patterns of ILLUD TEMPUS are abstract constructions that, like primordial forces, shape and deform reality at will. Percussion emerges from the depths of an unfathomable abyss, dislocated and devoid of familiarity. The layers of sound expand and contract like waves in a sea of fluctuating energy. Everything we hear here is at once past, present and future, coexisting in a single vibration that resonates in our consciousness.

With this EP, Shakti redefines the limits of experimental music, immersing us in a trance-like state where linearity ceases to exist and what remains is only the incessant cycle of creation, transformation and destruction. ILLUD TEMPUS is a sensory experience that confronts us with the very nature of time and drags us into a state of altered perception, where the inevitable repeats itself, over and over again, in an eternal and fascinating sound loop.

Mercuri [VYS001 / vysyon]

Produced by Mateo Hurtado
Mastered by Pitchcraft Mastering Studio
Artwork by Jin Synth at Kolophonium Design Studio
Released by vysyon from London, UK
Release Date : June 02nd, 2025
Format - Vinyl and Digital

For their inaugural release, London-based Vysyon presents Mercuri: an enchanting EP of enigmatic techno featuring work by Swiss artists Varuna & Mateo Hurtado.

Having developed their brand of abyssal club music through releases on Amenthia Recordings & their own imprint A Walking Contradiction, Varuna dive into the void on ‘Remote Pulsar’. Driven by a disorientating polyrhythm cloaked in opaque atmospherics, the trio’s otherworldly approach to sound design is on full display. By contrast, the pounding 4/4 kick & propulsive acid bass of ‘Uvez Echos’ entrance the listener into a state of dancefloor reverie.

Mateo Hurtado casts his own unique magic over the flip, showcasing his archetypal mystic sound established via an album on Annulled music & remixes for Space Drum Meditation. The mesmerising flute melody of ‘An Invisible Fire, Working In Secret’ casts a spell of hypnosis, while the flowing, amorphous pads & twisted bass of ‘The Eternal Mirror’ conjure visions of worlds unknown.

Mateo Hurtado - An Invisible Fire, Working In Secret [vysyon]

It all starts with a discrete, almost instinctive percussive motif.
A loop that breathes, stretches, transforms itself without ever breaking the thread. Around it, the textures slowly take shape: a pad like a held breath, then sound fragments - glitches, interference, tension - that disturb the surface.

With the track Wadis, Biocym composes a shifting landscape where structure is never imposed but suggested, leaving each element to find its place over time. The modular sounds created in VCV Rack gradually infiltrate the sound space, creating a fragile dialogue between calm and disturbance. The result is a subtle tension of unstable equilibrium and rhythmic hypnosis.

Wadis Variations extends this spell through four singular rereadings by Piante Vive, Sauvage Dub Trio and Arto. Each artist takes ownership of the raw material, transforming it to reveal new forms: a deeper pulse, a wider space, an unexpected vertigo.

An EP like an oasis in mutation, where each variation reveals a new facet of sound material.

Claudio PRC’s (@claudioprc) fifth album, Self Surrender, unfolds as a reflective journey of self-acceptance, a story embracing reality in its purest and most unfiltered form. Released via Delsin Records, this marks his first full-length album on the label, following the EP’s Rites of Passage (2021), Challenger Deep (2022) and Golden Scales (2024).

The album explores different and more leftfield sonic corners, while remaining true to Claudio’s cavernous, deep, and spiritual essence. It’s a journey through different styles, with echoes of the past and contemporary influences merging.

Self Surrender begins with ambient and dub echoes, moving through dark, minimal rhythms and deep techno. It blends techno and house elements, exploring themes of sin and redemption with cutting synths and tight grooves. This first half of the longplayer closes introspectively with a reflective ambient piece.

In the second part, the sound shifts to more energetic techno. It’s driven by heavy kicks and dreamy atmospheres, with acid-laden textures and haunting strings. To conclude, Self Surrender closes with an ethereal track, fully embodying the theme of surrender and acceptance.

Born in Sardinia and now based in Berlin, Claudio PRC has been a key figure in the deep techno scene since 2006. His music is deeply rooted in a philosophical approach, drawing from Detroit techno, electroacoustics, and his academic background in Music and New Technologies. Over the years, he has released on labels such as Prologue Music, Semantica Records, while also establishing his label 012 as a platform for art and sound research.

Press Comments [Selection]
n.n.
Minimal Collective (Text: Brent van den Elshout)
In a world driven by volume and spectacle, Cio D’Or stands apart, mastering the power of the barely perceptible. This editorial explores her philosophy of sonic minimalism—where silence, restraint, and nuance challenge conventional ideas of presence in music. Through her creative process, live performances, and the balance between macro and micro perspectives, we uncover how Cio D’Or transforms the ‘power of less’ into a profound, intentional form of presence.

Orb Mag (Text: Cédric Finkbeiner) 
Designer of an instantly recognizable sound, she produces warm and deep complex structures, constantly on a fence between light and dark cliffs, noises and silences, cinematic settings and authentic presence. Part of a family of intricated sounds brought by artists such as Aleksi Perälä, Alva Noto, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, she’s a high representative of the minimal movement. She honors painter and pioneer Frank Stella’s quote “The aim of art is to create space,” she does through deep refined electronic music compositions and stripped piano pieces, delicate yet substantial.
Intriguing and engaging, her musical minimalism invites the listeners to bridge gaps with their thoughts, making them active in the artistic process and, therefore, contributing to the immersive effect. The mental activity is yet effortless for them: minimalism allows a focus on the essentials, by eliminating the dispensable sonic excesses and by creating space. Such a process brings mental freedom to the listeners, by breaking through the wall that a too-dense track would normally build. On the contrary, Cio D’Or’s music is open, and inviting, with an exquisite balance between artistic depth and hopeful, melancholic intelligence.

Monument Podcast (Text: Joe Mayberry)
What’s better than a mix from electronic music royalty Cio D’Or? Two mixes. This week we present something very special, a tale told across two chapters. As a mainstay of techno for over two decades, Cio D'Or has consistently pushed boundaries, gracing the decks of revered institutions worldwide and crafting a legendary discography with releases on Prologue, Semantica, Hypnus, Time to Express and more.
Across both mixes you will hear Cio’s unparalleled ability for sculpting minimalism and sonic architecture, masterfully recontextualizing familiar and obscure tracks alike, breathing new life into them and unveiling hidden dimensions. She dissects, reassembles and creates intricate connections between disparate sounds, all flawlessly executed with an alchemist’s touch.
Prisma 33 starts at a slower tempo, delicately building into an eruption of psychedelic minimalism. Dada grows with kinetic energy, with Cio sculpting sounds and textures into a deep trip where time seems to bend and dissolve, finishing with an unexpected wildcard that only a master selector could make work.

These are my personal rules based on experience and love for music, promoters and audiences:
Set: 2 hours main time, 3 hours at the beginning of a night***
1 hour live (hopefully from Mid 2026)
Live recording:  
a) I love mixes that I perfect at home for an hour, because the idea, dramaturgy and a mix should, ideally, express something and be timeless.
b) there are far too many mixes online ( I prefer quality over quantity ).. 
Deeply thank you for your understanding! Love, Cio ~∆*
