Companion operates on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri-Woi Wurrung and Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we work and live. We pay our respects to their continuing cultures and connection to Country, community and music; and to Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.

CMPN005 - V/A - Collection Two [Snippets]

Transient State

Preorder: https://geotherapy.bandcamp.com/album/one-va

Mulubinba-turned-Naarm based label Geotherapy storms into our ears with its debut release ‘One’. A VA showcasing a variety of incredible talent across the slow, the quick, the gritty & the polish by some of Australia’s newer production talents.

‘Spherical’ is jumping, bum wiggling & spacious all at the same time. Meanjin/Brisbane’s Monikr places full focus on groove in a track easily found mid-afternoon or first thing in the morning. 


Of the full compilation, Geotherapy shared:

“This compilation showcases a collection of reflective drones, introspective tones & a healthy serving of playful rhythms that soothe and/or stimulate the mind & body - a project consisting of music for closed-eye moments, open-eyed movements, or both.. ;3”

‘One’ releases via Bandcamp as a digital only download on Friday, November 29.

PREMIERE: Monikr - 'Spherical' [Geotherapy]

Delicate Records delves into the swamp laden depths of heartbreak; inexplicable depth, darkness and twisted beauty with a 9 track full length debut from Saffron Bloom. The Iranian-American producer and performer; already prolific as Sepehr and known for his expertly raw and freaky sound, develops this alias to indulge the silver linings of agony. An illbient force of nature drawing on industrial atmospherics, trip hop flow and unbothered breakbeat influx. The record serves as an ode to the ever changing phases of lost love and grief, seasons of emotion weathering the passage of time each with their own ferocity and relation to the evolving cycle; one so personal yet universally understood.

Intro, the infrastructure of aura laced throughout the record, builds around an ominous and evocative piano soundscape bleeding with delay, intruding barely human vocal cries and percussive injections. Dripping into the DNA of Dirge of the Lonely and Jealous Desire, there comes a yearning, cries from beyond the grave; mourning relationships lost with an eerie familiarity. This sinister sanctuary bred through low slung stripped
back breaks, those that echo within the soul and tie themselves to an anchor of inconspicuous growling sub bass; a signature idiosyncrasy perfectly elevated with Saffron Bloom timbre.

Quelling the urge to disintegrate, with power through distortion and commanding drumwork, corners of the B side like Curtain Call and Apathetic Rose reiterate a primal and hypnotic sonic discourse. At the heart of the LP and the artist’s ethos, it resonates through the mind and body in a psychedelic manner while remaining powerfully minimal. Time’s Up (It’s Over) featuring. Sam Weinberg feels like a fever dream, saxophone drenched and echoing throughout your brain, while album closer Ultimate Acceptance is named perfectly. A melancholic realization, soft in nature yet rich in complexity and beauty, a bittersweet conclusion.

pi premiere: denial - spiral anomaly [down2earth]

The single “Inertia” is the first glimpse into Signals from the Stars — Vietnamese Paris-based artist https://soundcloud.com/d-k-music’s upcoming EP, due mid-July on Midgar.

There’s something oddly comforting in the idea of a dead star still sending signals — distant, mechanical, yet somehow filled with meaning. Inertia taps into that contradiction: the sensation of being impossibly far from home, yet still drawn toward something vast, unseen, and filled with memory.

Signals from the Stars is now available for digital and vinyl preorder via Bandcamp.
