The committee “Justice pour Sourour” and the Pacifique Records music platform is launching a series of compilations to raise awareness on the fight against police violence and collect funds to ensure justice for Sourour: beloved sister, mother, daughter, and friend, who died in a police station in Brussels on January 12, 2023. For this first volume we’re bringing together friends and allies: artists of the experimental and bass music scene, each presenting a track.   The fight we’re waging is relentless, we need to keep everyone’s attention so that the struggle doesn’t lose momentum, so that even more people feel concerned and join us, and so that similar violence can never happen again. We want to believe in a united, supportive and politicised music scene. As artists, musicians and cultural actors, and with your support, we can play a precious role in this fight.

Thank you for Sourour and the Abouda family.

Presenting the 33rd release with NHS is stelios.exe, being a Marseille-based producer fusing early music traditions with forward-momentous electronic sound design. Having a Trained background in medieval, Renaissance, and baroque music, his release 'Crystal Towers' explores new sonic territory by blending ancestral techniques with experimental tools. Said EP marks a pivotal turning point for our artist, which features the use of his own voice and the Renaissance flute for the first time in conjunction with a synthetic palette. Sonically, Influences draw from the likes of Oneohtrix Point Never, The Knife, and Renaissance composers such as Byrd or Gesualdo, stelios.exe embraces a transgressive approach to aural sound design.

Speaking on his works: Suspended above the chaos of the world, the Crystal Towers act as beacons in the night, warning of dangers while offering spaces of retreat. Their walls are both mirror and prism: they reflect the world's passions and torments, while also capturing a fragmented celestial light. This interplay of reflections gives birth to ghostly visions, remnants of a forgotten empire, now altered and deformed. 'Crystal Towers' is a dive into solitude, an impulse to withdraw into an inner sanctuary to silence the turmoil. Glitchy, saturated synths reverberate eerily along the translucent surfaces, while Renaissance flutes rise like beams of light piercing ancient stained glass. 

The voice, shifting between the angelic and the monstrous, gives shape to both the vilest and the most sublime emotions haunting the human soul. The composition of the EP draws on early Baroque monody, a turning point when melody and harmony broke free, allowing the human voice to bare its most intimate affects. Throughout 'Crystal Towers', melodies oscillate between fragility and vertiginousness, exposing our innermost struggles in their purest form.

Listening to Bios Contrast–aka Nilotpal Das’--SSAC42 for the first time might be likened to the experience of watching sunlight shimmering on the surface of a body of water. There is an effortless spontaneity, a mesmerizing ebb and flow. There is a movement which continually reminds us of itself. We are drawn in without needing to understand why. Curiosity takes hold—not a ‘question-driven’ curiosity–but a quiet immersion in the unfolding moment. It feels familiar, but distant; intimate, yet undeniably alien–the more we surrender to it, the more it transforms. We do not give our attention so much as we permit ourselves to drift along. With each passing moment, we are captivated anew, drawn into the throes of unexpected emotion.


The sonic world of SSAC42 seems to pull influence from various forms of electronic music on the fringes. We hear rapid, intricate drum patterns. We feel the warmth of synth textures, the soft glow of ambient pads collapsing gracefully into themselves. The airy vocals of K_anti play a significant role–gliding in over arrangements at unforeseen moments, bringing us closer to something vast and luminous. We never quite arrive, but feel as though we’re always approaching. The tracks are melodic without being grounded in melody. They coalesce, fracture, and reform. A pattern begins, and vanishes, swiftly replaced by something else entirely. Time loses shape; moments of breathtaking stillness recline over fierce drum sequences.

This warping of time is notable in the first track “everyth1ng 1n l1fe”, where soft atmospheric elements churn slowly above chaotic jittering drums. The juxtaposition stirs, generating an ongoing tension that is never resolved. Ethereal, washed out vocals pull us further into weightless expanse. Lush moments build up and transfigure, revealing new forms with each phrase. The second track “EXT10” takes us further into moments of unanticipated wonder. Through the turbulence, shifting elements are not mourned as they pass, but welcomed; we do not question their departure—we move forward with them.

The third composition, “dysph0r1a” opens with a clear vocal presence.  K_anti’s tender delivery occasionally rises above the evolving terrain of synths—fleeting, decipherable, then submerged once again. Later on, the sixth track “ap0calypse 42” carries us through a striking arc: from softness to percussive fury, and back into calm. The transformation is tumultuous, but also cyclical—destructive and restorative in turn.

The shapeshifting quality of the album can feel disorienting. Just as we find comfort and predictability, it dissolves. Familiarity is teased, and withdrawn. Perhaps it is in this instability that the core of SSAC42’s potential lies. As the unending search for meaning in our human lives is consistently upended and reimagined, SSAC42 seems to quietly posit that moments of solace will reveal themselves amid the chaos; wonder and enchantment persist if we are willing to stay open.
