Heith’s devout interest in the notion of reality started long before he recorded his latest album. The Italian musician, producer and artist probed the spiritual aspects of sound and its cosmogonic potential already in his previous works released on his own Haunter Records label.
Exploring the textures of consciousness through research into the ritual animism, he kept an omnivorous and universalist approach to cultural and sonic influence. This is central to X, wheel, Heith’s debut album and first release on PAN. It’s a deep dive into his creative and spiritual practice, one where art and life are inextricable.

Written and recorded across different studios in Milan, Rome and Florence between March, 2019, and January, 2020, eleven tracks cycle through a world of stylistic references—from psychedelia, psytrance and freak folk to stoner metal, noise and early electronic music—while remaining firmly a part of a singular vision.

Album opener “Letter 4” staggers along collaborator Leonardo Rubboli’s winding guitar melody, while second track “Dero” cycles into layers of assorted sine wave lines and tonal systems outside of the Western diatonic scales. X, wheel sits calmly at the centre of its own vortex of dissonance and diversity, moving through a spectrum of ideas, moods, and emotional states with uncanny ease. A glimpse of contributor Jesse Osborne- Lanthier’s synth melody briefly surfaces from a cacophonous flood of reverb and distortion on “Stoned Witch”. Aase Nielsen’s lonely saxophone wanders around the nostalgic hypnagogic noir of “Ensemble For Somnambulists”.

Heith draws together an array of philosophies and fictions together into a sonic tableau that exists outside of linear time. As the titular wheel spins, it does not bring about repetition, rather constant change and movement, spiralling into infinity.

The hypnotic nature of the release is translated in the album’s liner notes. It’s a collage of sorts, constructed from Heith’s own diary entries using the non-phonetic alphabet and linguistic experiment called “Angel’s Hair” developed with artist Pietro Agostoni. Together with contributions from ZU drummer Jacopo Battaglia and didgeridoo player Fabio Goldaniga, X, wheel is an exercise in creating new forms of meaning through sound, turning spectral vibration into conscious awareness.

Pneumatic and Uriel proudly presents 'Divinity Reset’

Forged as a product of their move from Portland to San Francisco the project is an unapologetic exploration of avant garde composition personified by angelic synth lines and dissonant atmosphere. URIEL reflects and meditates on restarting/redefining their personal life and musical efforts through the lens of a celestial world.

Uriel - Tarantula

For seven months Russia has been waging a disgusting war in Ukraine. Constantly, we learn new horrific truths about what the occupiers have done on the land, that they proclaim is theirs. We believe Ukraine will be free again and rightful judgement will be brought upon those, who hide their violent, genocidal intentions behind the mask of lies.

With our first compilation - ‘Soteria’ - we want to aid the fight for freedom, that is still ongoing. We at Xpone stand strongly in support of the Ukranian people and against the Russian terrorist regime. We don’t acknowledge the new territories annexed by the occupier, nor the old, and condemn the blatantly fake "referendums" that took place from 23-27 September 2022 on the territories of self-proclaimed “DNR”, “LNR”, and the occupied Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.

All proceeds from this release will go to Livyj Bereh — a volunteer organisation, which helps to rebuild the homes of those affected by the Russian invasion, as well as provides constant aid for the Ukranian military.

We thank everybody, who participated and all those, who are willing to support the cause.

Malibu - Rude

Ivan Erofeev is a Moscow-based artist born in the Siberian city of Omsk, just north of Kazakhstan. His releases on French, Dutch, Canadian, and Russian labels under the alias Aleph are diverse in sound, incorporating elements of IDM, hip-hop, ambient, and techno. Ivan released two vinyl EPs under his own name in 2017, one on Gost Zvuk sub-label INSTRUMENT and another with Resonance Moscow. Both are sophisticated examples of techno. In the coming months, ÆX (sub-label of Amsterdam's Indigo Aera) will include one of Ivan's tracks as part of a compilation featuring various artists (ÆX006). 

For this mix, Ivan incorporated demo pieces, improvised compositions, and field recordings captured in the summer of 2018. He makes use of live-recorded drums, raw data programmed for algorithmic sequences, Ableton, and synthesizers (Moog, Access Virus, Organelle, and Koma Field synths).

The set begins as a thorough machine-wash of heavy vibrations before shifting into a more rhythmic pulse. All throughout, we get the awesome impression that Ivan is encouraging his computers to speak unrestrained in their own language.
