Naff and Animalia once again join forces to present a collaboration between OK EG and Priori. The project began with a session at the Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio, where initial sonic experiments took shape. These were later developed into four interconnected movements—each crafted to feel both weightless and propulsive. The result is four high-speed, hypnotic dance pieces, best described as ‘feather-tech.

It starts like a seed under skin—bare, pulsing.

Sound gathers like an electron orbiting the nucleus.
Shapes thicken, not to dominate, but to exist.
A spine forms, then limbs, then breath.
Nothing ascends—everything spreads.

In Morpho, form doesn’t arrive all at once; it builds piece by piece, from materials drawn across distances. Each step is neither better nor worse than the last—each is singular, part of the whole. Growth is not guided—it listens, folding itself into space, grain by grain.

Further Inward with biju

Stepping into shifting time and intricate sound design, biju charts a course through the Further Inward series with razor-edged precision. Pulsing through polymetric waves and syncopated shadows, his selections spiral inward. An endlessly looping dream, precise yet elusive. A cascade of shifting frames—relentless, refined, and beautifully disorienting.

Further Inward ✧ biju

Pure Space presents Black Smoke (2025 Remaster) by Andy Rantzen - our first-ever reissue, and a nod to a pivotal voice in Australia’s electronic music lineage.

Originally released in 2001 via the Creative Vibes compilation The Blue Hour Vol. 3: Deep Blue, Black Smoke is a deep cut from one of Eora/Sydney’s most quietly influential producers. Known for his work with Pelican Daughters, Itch-E & Scratch-E, and countless solo projects, Rantzen’s fingerprints are all over the foundations of Australian dance culture.

In revisiting the track for reissue, Andy uncovered three never-before-released alternate mixes buried deep in his DAT archive. Each offering a fresh perspective on the original’s tight tek percussion and deep soaring synths.

The newly remastered original lifts with propulsive clarity and analogue weight, while Alternative Mix 1 brings added bass pressure and sharpened percussion. Alternative Mix 2 introduces a classic acid lead, warping the groove into something more angular and elastic. Alternative Mix 3 slows the tempo and rinses the bassline, shifting the track into a darker, stauncher terrain - a twisted inversion of the original heat.

Nearly 25 years on, Black Smoke remains vital - a reminder that some frequencies never fade, they just keep mutating.

We’re beyond happy to finally share the very first recording from Refractor.

This one captures around an hour of the captivating live set by the talented French artist trois quarts taxi system, who guided us from daylight into dusk on the second day of the gathering. A sonic passage, subtle yet powerful, weaving us gently through time.

More recordings will follow soon, but for now, let yourself drift back into that moment.

OW12 Loek Frey - Nayan

Some things simply need time to brew. Loek Frey returns to Omen Wapta with his third release on the label: Nayan. The Amsterdam-based artist shares a long-standing friendship with label head Woody92 – keeping each other in motion as artistic peers since the label’s inception. Over time, they’ve built a shared archive of material: sound sketches, tracks, and sonic touchpoints – an ever-evolving third space where their paths continue to meet as they move in parallel. Nayan emerges from this deep-rooted exchange: a distilled six-track release that fuses Frey’s cerebral intricacy with the label’s primordial uncanniness, reaffirming both as key voices in a yet-to-be-defined sonic realm.

Diving into the release, Frey’s signature remains intact – tactile, spatial, and rhythmically precise – but a subtle shift is at play. A paring down. A move toward something more reduced, maybe even more patient, yet no less absorbing. The A side leans inward: deep pressure, spectral traces, and an undercurrent of tension that never quite resolves. It’s music for staying with, not escaping from. Flip to the B side and the palette widens – kicks land heavier, patterns loosen, textures fill the full frequency field. Still deeply rooted in the Wapta world, but with an assertiveness that whispers rather than shouts. Somewhere between absence and force.

With Nayan, Loek Frey carries his Omen Wapta narrative into new territory – merging restless experimentation with dancefloor intention.

OW12 Loek Frey - Nayan [preview]

@anekumena-tapes continues its steady excavation of the fringes with the debut full-length from Amsterdam duo @annarandt and @papigaba. Titled Kill Your Darlings, the record approaches noise as both discipline and rupture: a raw dialogue of detuned guitars, clattering metal percussion, and warped tape loops, reined into form without losing their bite.

Kill Your Darlings will be out on September 5th, 2025. Pre-order a copy via https://anekumenatapes.bandcamp.com/album/kill-your-darlings
