As usual, 10% of our proceeds will be passed on to The Healing Foundation- so, if you like what you hear please consider purchasing the compilation on release day to support our label, the artists, and a great cause. 


Inner Theft would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians across Australia and pay our deepest respects to all Elders past, present and emerging. We in Australia live on stolen land.
Sovereignty was never ceded.

Loïcc - Amphidromic Point

'Noone St. Encounter' and all associated works were created, produced and compiled on unceded Aboriginal land. General Merchant acknowledges that it operates on stolen land, belonging to the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora Nation, and we pay our respects to Aboriginal elders past, present and emerging.

‘Noone St. Encounter’ sonically depicts ex-terrestrial-isms that stem from an obsession of other worldly life forms. Rxex utilises modular synthesis to create atmospheres that are both biologically familiar and alien to the human ear. Probing beyond the outer orbits of the sound-solar system, Rxex incorporates psy-fi fantasy bass-abductionism to create a unique and varied sound that is informed by a distinctive modular synthesis. 

The release features an excellent remix by Naarm based Homelander that operates as a more functional dancefloor track to round out the EP.

The EP presents a keyhole into a future world of natural and artificial fusion, finding solace from the certainty and unification of cutting edge electronic dance music.

Maintaining the decades-deep dubwise practice of conscious musical tradition and exploratory sonic futurism, Dialog return with a second drop on their DOT series of soundsystem-spirited plates. This latest EP features the return of Jamaican vocalist Daveron Dawkins, aka Benji, joined this time by his son David Dawkins, aka Josei, on an intergenerational vocal collaboration.

Dialog is a production and performance partnership between Dutch artist Samuel van Dijk, (aka VC-118A and more) and Finnish producer Rasmus Hedlund. The pair first explored overtly ambient pastures on a double-pack LP for Astral Industries in 2022, bringing a dub-informed sensibility to their richly sculpted textures, before deciding to experiment with forthright riddims while jamming in the studio in Helsinki. A friend from a neighbouring studio heard the meditative pulse they were working on and connected them with Benji, originally from Jamaica but a resident of Finland for more than 30 years. 

When he was in Jamaica, Benji’s affinity for music came second to his footballing talent, which incidentally led to him crossing paths with Bob Marley and the wider reggae community in the 70s and 80s. In recent years he and Josei had worked together intermittently on jams and tracks, but the sessions they attended with Dialog marked a new chapter as they committed their improvised, universal flows to the broad sweep of riddims laid down by van Dijk and Hedlund. 

Many tracks were recorded, setting Dialog up with Benji and Josei for a sustained project which moves beyond the cuts into the dance. The debut performances in November 2023 saw van Dijk and Hedlund manning an extensive live rig alongside Benji and Josei’s singing and toasting, appearing in prominent Helsinki club Kaiku one week and at an intimate dance on the Salamari Sound System the next. The Dialog sound has exactly the flexibility for both scenarios, forged in crisply defined production that draws on techno, electro and ambient as much as dub, but also steeped in tradition and coloured with the warmth and character of instrumentation and vintage signal processing. 

On DOT 2, we get a deeper insight into the progression of the project from the loose and flowing possibilities of the first recorded tracks through to more considered structures as the focus on Dialog’s direction sharpened in response to Benji’s inspiration. It’s a celebration of the merging of energies - the radiant glow of Benji’s Jamaican heritage colliding with the snow-capped sonics of North European techno, a living music rooted in community and collaboration but also fashioned with a modernist outlook which naturally translates to the club.

Recently rising from the dynamic underground electronic music scene of Naarm FDH brings us ‘The Alpinist’, inspired by the alpine regions around Jaitmatang and Ngarigo country in south-eastern Australia where he spent much of his youth. Drawing from multiple musical influences and his varied taste in sound, FDH’s soundscapes in this EP are as diverse and unique as the alpine landscapes they evoke.

‘The Alpinist’ emerges as a testament to FDH’s dedication to push boundaries and conjure new sonic worlds. With a visible attention to detail in production, FDH delicately weaves deep textures, driving rhythms, and contrasting elements, inviting listeners on an exhilarating auditory adventure.

Grain - Does Jesus Have Buddha Nature? (Sømeøne Remix)

Midheaven Records launches in 2021 with 'Force Majeure', the debut EP of Sydney/Eora-based amuwa (@a-m-u-w-a), aka 25-year-old Joshua Deering. Born and raised in the urban sprawl of Sydney CBD, Deering now brings 10 years of musical development to a head, where design and feel seamlessly enmesh. The EP draws from formative experiences immersed in the sounds of city noise, industrial zones, natural amphitheatres, and packed dance-floors. Familiar strains of electro, trance and bass music shift and meld into new, hybrid forms, driven by a synthetic-organic logic. Roiling subs and propulsive drums are engineered for impact, couched within mutating synth arrays. Untraceable oddities click, whirr and hum around the stereo field—subtle changes reward repeat, deep listening. Over four tracks, amuwa re-centres the whole body as listening technology—pursuing a trance-state that is grounded in the dance, not just for the head(s). This is a formidable debut.
