Inspired by our love for hard-hitting club music with a darker edge, Seippelabel vol. 14 focuses on the powerful South African gqom genre. As always, we proudly showcase an international roster of artists with unique styles, ranging from pounding taxi kicks to more left-field interpretations of gqom. We are also thrilled to welcome back past contributors to our compilations, including Toby Davis, Darius, and ADEAD, alongside some exciting new additions to the lineup, such as Emo Kid, Puzzy Stack, B E N N, Dominowe, and KΣITO.

Chewlie - Flourish In The Ruins (Stacktrace & Knurx STAGE 4 Remix)

By @buerguava - Via @rejuvcollective

KOUNATO (SPASTO) is a piece that explores the kitsch essence of nightlife through two contrasting yet harmonizing lenses: the raw, radical energy of the electronic-bass scene and the enduring “luben” aesthetic of Balkan club culture. The result is an ironic—yet undeniably catchy—musical statement that celebrates and critiques at the same time.

In producing KOUNATO (SPASTO), the artist drew strong inspiration from the vocal sample style of Crystal Castles’ Untrust Us, aiming to recreate a similar feel. Throughout most of the track, the phrase “kou-na-to, spas-to” is chanted abstractly—not as a conventional vocal, but as a melodic texture woven into the arrangement. The original “Κούνα το Σπάσ’το” verse was sampled for its playful rhythm and unmistakable kitsch character. To enhance the bounce and club energy, the tempo was slowed down and paired with bass-heavy drums, layered with oriental darbuka rhythms to retain the Balkan flavor.

SWINE PREMIERE: @lao + @otherislands single "Años Despues" via @terminalrec

"Lo Que Queda, Vuelve ("What Remains, Returns") is the collaborative 3-track EP from Mexican producer LAO - founder of the label Éxtasis and member of the highly influential collective and label @NAAFI and emerging London-born musician Other Islands. 

✤ EP is dropping via Terminal / June 18th

✸ The EP unfolds across its three tracks, weaving together an array of global sounds, from baile funk and ballroom through to dembow and grime, creating a genre-bending record built for the dancefloor. LAO’s innovative take on experimental club music fuses with Other Islands' spectral UK sensibilities, channeling the cacophony and surrealist smog of Mexico City, their shared home. It's a perfect blend of various musical inspirations and energies.

✸ The record’s hybrid sound traces links back to sound-system aesthetics while looking forward to what’s ahead. Lo Que Queda, Vuelve embodies Terminal’s commitment to sonic exploration and cross-cultural exchange.

[Swine Premiere] LAO & Other Islands - Años Despues (Terminal)

Memory Index 3035 is part of an ongoing series of sonic explorations that will eventually become an EP. In this piece, I continue to delve into the psychoacoustics of noise modulated by rhythm, and how this tension creates a perceptual need for melody. What fascinates me most is that these melodies don’t actually exist — they emerge from each listener’s unique auditory universe, built through personal memory and perception.

Microhm is the experimental electronic music project of Mexican artist Leslie García. Her work fuses electroacoustic and electronics, with avant-garde sound design, creating immersive compositions that explore rhythm, distortion, and psychoacoustics. With releases on labels like Infinite Machine and Terminal, Microhm has carved out a distinct voice in the experimental club scene. Her performances and DJ sets blend emotional intensity with conceptual depth, offering deep sonic experiences. Microhm is a laboratory of sound where technology, affect, and speculation converge.
