Pain Management welcomes London cult favourite DJ ojo, who arrives on the label with a hazy three tracker of trademark nether zone system music. On his most dubbed out full length to date, ojo span’s the full emotive spectrum of dub sonics with a range of both the eerie and more tender expansions of low end atmospherics, the resulting 12” equally suited for the club and the journey home alike.

‘Tongue Tied’ opens the record, a lysergic offering from the darker edges of dub music. A slippery fugue-state hit of narco-ambience built around a crooning, intelligible vocal refrain and chest shot sub weight. A real nightfall system pusher built to simmer in the early hours. It kicks off the EP on an amorphous, hypnotic note that sustains throughout.‘Oil Dub’ sinks deeper into the fog, melodic kinesis and expansive delays upholding an underworld of feedbacked percussion and tongue in cheek sub motion; a seven minute sound bath of ambiguous dub ASMR.

The B-side balances out the darker strains found on its counterpart with an overtly tender digidub closer. Clocking in at almost ten minutes long ‘Cloud Suck’ is a nebulous bliss of perpetually ascending late-summer warmth. The kind of liminal dream-state embrace that you wish would never end. True to the name, it evokes tender, dusk and dawn hued moments, a quiet ride-home flash of introspection on the way to or from some pursuit of meaning. Pain Management essential right here.

Limited run of 200 hand-stamped 12” records available now.

co:clear is overjoyed to welcome @jonnnah to its fold, with a new long-form 12” edition. Featuring Pavel Milyakov (aka @buttechno) right off the bat, ‘Me, With You’ is an album that grips its listener tight with gleaming electronica, off-kilter trip-hop and swampy bass.

With past offerings to Soleil Rouge and Second End Records – a label which he heads – there's a thread that laces all of Jonnnah’s work. Although never sticking to a definable bracket, the Lyon-dweller effortlessly floats through various tempers, peddling impeccable electronics as equally suited to colossal sound systems, as they are to solitary early morning walks in headphones. It's ambient for the foreground that surprises with flurries of two-step and amen breaks – present-day sonics that doff their cap to what’s come before.

Out on limited edition 12” vinyl & digital, 30th May 2025. Limited to 200 copies.

Written & Produced by Pierre Paumier
Featuring Pavel Milyakov

Me, With You

COCLEAR003: Jonnnah – Me, With You (previews)

SORN is excited to present the debut 12" EP from d. towärds, Rephlex EP, a bold and captivating exploration of sound. Spanning tracks crafted between 2021 and 2024, the EP offers a unique blend of minimalist, dub-inflected textures, creating unpredictable sonic landscapes that constantly evolve.
The tracks are stripped down, often reduced to mere echoes and ghostly pulses, yet there's a tactile weight to the production that pulls the listener in. This is dub in its most abstract form: a deconstruction that shifts the focus from rhythm to texture, from structure to atmosphere. The result is a work that feels both timeless and dislocated.
With nods to the experimental rigor of Pan Sonic and the icy precision of Raster-Noton, Rephlex EP is less an homage and more an interrogation.

We’re super proud to welcome Rachel. this month — the protagonist of the 22nd episode of crying is softer than you think on Noods Radio.

Rachel., also known as Nicolas Jean-Jean, is a close friend who recorded Paturia in 2024 and is also known for running the label Run Level. He’s a musician and a person who inspires us deeply — not only through his talent but also through his kindness.

His latest album, released recently, reveals a singular musical vision — borrowing from ambient, glitch, hardcore, and other deconstructed genres. It blends elements that are at times obvious, at times more subtle, into a sound that is raw and condensed, yet remains poetic and sensitive.

This mix, much like his personality, is full of gentleness — perhaps tinged with a vision of discomfort that feels healing, even cathartic. It plunges us into a kind of melancholic adolescence, where neo-rock, ambient, glitch, and trip-hop collide to tell the story of a youth now gone.

We love you — don’t ever change <3

Noods Radio #22 - crying is softer than you think - Rachel. (27/04/2025)

Pre-order digital album — https://serwedx.bandcamp.com/album/v

Continuing in a series of studio albums Serwed present their new release — “V” (Five).
Stylistically, this album further develops the idea of blending aesthetics, operating at the intersection of post-club, downtempo, digital dub, electro-acoustic, neo-classical, score music and musique concrète, creating a unique sonic space.
Catching the subtle nuances of self-reflection, this chamber-like, intimate work is primarily directed toward the subconscious and intuitive perception. The structure and form are driven by emotion, while aesthetics take a back seat, giving way to pure sense.
The compositions capture moments of insight, spontaneity, and live improvisation. Delicate yet expressive, carefree yet precise, “V” is a deeply immersive and personal experience.
