Step into the entrancing universe that is Estuary Tapes, an independent label nestled between Dinan and St-Brieuc in Brittany, France. As the name suggests, Estuary Tapes unites the calm tranquility of murky waters with agitated tides to form a hypnotic musical experience. Like a rich ecosystem, an array of music genres embrace one another with ease. With Brittany’s coastlines and
countryside o ering a unique source of inspiration to the label, their up-and-coming releases transport us back to a sort of dark celtic mysticism, a colorful serenity, an unﬁnished quest. Styles such as ambient, experimental, breakbeat, folk, dub and techno music piece together to form a broad mosaic, the hallmark of Estuary Tapes. Each composition takes us on a journey to unexplored lands where the past and present meet harmoniously. Visuals and art are also essential. Always looking to create a captivating aesthetic, the images marry the sound to create a totally immersive experience. Promising to bridge together local spirit and the global scene, Estuary Tapes is the artist’s playground, a safe place of expression for emerging artists, managing events to carefully developed releases. Labels' debut embarks on an inter-dimensional voyage, with the label at the wheel. Tabensi, Théo Muller and Transe Ar Gwez are to be the breton guides accompanying you in the front seat. They are to be cordially supported by Los Pashminas, A-Tweed, Oltrefuturo, Kendu Bari, Shjva, X.C.I, Isabel Del Bosco and Orphic. Together, they awaken the estuary's abyss. A far-away echo of mermaid song will emerge from the shadows and come into the light. A forgotten tale of mysterious spirit, soothing nostalgia, dark ardor is resurfacing, set to the sound of trippy synth melodies and resounding drums.

"No judgement, a liberation of the emotions and a synergy of the senses".
That's the definition of Speechmaker and the message he wants to get across : a no-holds-barred mix of styles through a dystopian incursion.
Varying rhythms and genres with raw mechanics to escape for a moment and free the mind.
He is also co-founder of Ethos Records label with Eenrdacht (ÖND, Armen Crew, Space Molotov), and they have a monthly radioshow, Oratio.

The full-scale military invasion in Ukraine and the tense political situation in Belarus forced us to leave our homes and brought us to Poland.

Straight from Warsaw where the Covid-19 has practically destroyed the night culture in the usual sense for us we are building an underground music scene right now.

Among our releases, we curate music of completely different styles, moods and characters.

Music for an extraordinary audio experience created with high hopes for a bright future and sincere love for our craft.

Travelling through space, they looked out at what was below them. The planet was far away now and there was no guarantee that they might ever be able to return. Perhaps they were destined to live amongst the stars. They would become the aliens they once feared as they floated from realm to realm in the darkness.

There wasn't much light up here, nor sound but for the occasional chime or hum from the machine which propelled them onwards. Sometimes it were as if it was trying to communicate with them, perhaps to let them know that they were not all alone.

Terra Magica Rec. are set to release a record from Grischerr called 'Blue Gem Cavalcade'. It's a special, pensive collection of deep futuristic sounds paired with remixes from some stellar producers. The Heap remix was our pick of the bunch.

PREMIERE: Grischerr - N.H.S. (Heap Mix) [Terra Magica Rec.]

Arvid Wretman, AKA Your Planet Is Next, has assumed the role of musical storyteller with a serious mean streak of DIY electro.

Wretman’s latest album tells its tale through the eyes of an imagined anti-hero. He conjures up the gritty underbelly of an over-populated megalopolis; a world of dilapidation, ruin and sin, where stiletto knives are a dime a dozen and our titular protagonist, the FOG MAN, stalks the streets.

In an oddball tradition, there’s an absurdist, left-of-centre flex coursing throughout. This is the Stockholm native at his strangest, radiating fuck-off attitude and an embrace of imperfection as he maximises the potential of a limited studio setup.

Bleak spoken word lyrics only serving to bolster the narrative storytelling, ‘Sad Fog’ paints a vivid picture of hardships endured, while ‘Fog Power’ resembles the inner dialogue of a man teetering at the edge of sanity. Think corrosive, industrial fug and rugged, tape-damaged torque.

Through ‘No Fog’s menacing machine funk to the visceral, downbeat sleaze of ‘Freaks’ and queasy, Wolfenstein-sampling 'Eisenfaust’, the FOG MAN deals that dystopian gear in spades.

Ready 2 Fog will be released as full album on tape and digital with a limited edition of 7" lathe cut vinyl containing 'Look 4 The Fog' and 'Ready 2 Fog'. All physical copies are accompanied by an exclusive 24 booklet with visual works from the world of the FOG MAN.

PREVIEW: Your Planet Is Next pres. FOG MAN - Ready 2 Fog

For Animalia’s 11th release, Animalia welcomes Ukrainian producer Volodymyr Gnatenko (@gnatenko) with his EP AbiaA. 

Known for his progressive, trance-tinged releases and live sets, AabiA builds on Gnatenko’s lush soundscaping with five new tracks, including a remix of fellow Ukrainian producer Shjva’s Usu and an additional digital sixth bonus track with Ilya Semaskevich. Deep, atmospheric and emotional, the EP spans dreamy synth lines meshed with breaks, both rolling and downtempo. I first encountered Volodymyr’s sound at a party in Berlin last April, where he played a transformative live set that stayed with me long after. AbiaA perfectly reflects what resonated with me then and still - the entrancing and immersive world he conceives is a rare skill in electronic music, but one I endlessly seek. 

Limited edition CD version available. 

Animalia would like to acknowledge that whilst all tracks were produced in Europe, the label itself operates on the traditional land of the Woiwurrung & Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation, and pay respect to their elders past, and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

P-Mateo – Syntax Parabellum [Snippet]

Die Orakel is a Frankfurt based music platform run by Oliver Hafenbauer.

Die Orakel (Engl. the oracles) might not know it all but has the capacity to observe and sense it: Oliver Hafenbauer's imprint operates as an experimental field for electronic music on the playfully indecisive end where it exceeds genre-specificity to focus on tunes that function beyond. This is not to say that there are no four-to-the-floor productions. The Frankfurt-based label features contributions by artists like Reptant, Poly Chain, Edward, Roman Flügel, upsammy or O-Wells, all known as dance floor doyens. The releases yet encompass what can slip the attention on a traditional dance label. Uplifting and downtempo appear here as two categories that do not exclude each other. The visual representation of the venture is undertaken by Stefan Haag and label boss Oliver Hafenbauer himself, who have a clear approach to communicating Die Orakel’s standards.
