Wessanders’ journey towards the zenith of his own creativity is, by design, filled with curious and unexpected turns and jaunts away from the typical. His aversion to the mundane and clear attraction to ideas and compositions beyond the pale has begotten him a rock-solid catalog of original music, and his latest addition to his growing arsenal typifies the pleasant surprises constantly under his purview. The Talking Points EP contains his clearest, cleanest executions to date, showcasing a producer and composer with a clear bent for breaking the mold.


Talking Points comes jam-packed with the effective and infectious midtempo that Wessanders cut his teeth on, updated and upgraded to reflect his current command over sound design and arrangement archetypes. Through both melodious narratives and rambunctious low end, he achieves the storied balance between rocking a sound system to the gills and inflecting on pure groove. Rounding off the end of the EP is perhaps the most ambitious Wessanders production to date, featuring a full-fledged journey through the newfound contemporary power of dnb. It’s a complete package, giving listeners a taste of both his time-honed territories and recent explorations within the wide umbrella of bass music. If you’re a fan of pristine palettes and complex arrangements, Talking Points is undoubtedly the next stop on your journey into the novelty of sound.

Wessanders - Everything Is Temporary

Subverting compositional and design tropes each step of the way, the Zonra project has maintained a striking consistency in its escape from the norms of conventional electronic music. Straddled somewhere between the dance-centric sound of contemporary bass music producers and the aural experimentation developed by IDM pioneers, Jackson Hale achieves a stable balance between groove and intrigue with each subsequent release, moving that needle closer to either end whenever the need arises. In time-tested fashion, his latest LP is a work of beauty from every angle, and as such, The Rust is incredibly excited to premiere Time Is A Tool as our 61st label release.

Previous Zonra records have featured an amalgam of shredded synthesis, mean breakdowns, and carefully threaded melodic elements. Unsurprisingly, Hale flipped the script entirely for Time Is A Tool; The LP’s opening moments involve smooth harmonies egressing into smooth cadence, and that relationship carries on throughout each track. Choice waves of tension and release, told through the intentional splaying of tones and textures into glitched-out symphonies, creates a permeable catharsis within each fold of the record, slowly churning the listener towards the album’s zenith. Opting for slow, caressing tempos and chord phrases reminiscent of serene lullabies, the traditional throaty bass lines and hyper-compressed downbeats are put out to pasture in favor of a record filled to the brim with particularly intentional and resoundingly magical moments of introspection and rest. For those keen on finding their next sonic journey amidst a crowd with a dancefloor focus, Time Is A Tool is assuredly the album you’ve been searching for.

Time Is A Tool

Stream / Purchase

Zonra & Jackson Hale - Vicuña

Pulse of Shadow is a journey through dark techno’s depths—driving basslines, haunting melodic female vocals, and industrial atmospheres built for the underground. This album fuses club energy with spectral emotion, blending deep shadows, hypnotic grooves, and luminous hooks. The result: a soundscape that pulls you onto the dance floor and into the unknown

Visionary Shamanics is happy to present another epic psychedelically downtempo dubtastic shamanic psybass tribal multicultural ambient ethnic trip in :

VISION QUEST

Grooving tribal psydubass soulful ceremonies
Mindful meditation to levitate naturally
At one with the universal source
Shamanic journeying to otherworlds
A magical landscape of mystery
Magnificent hidden realms so trippy
Mythology of expanding cosmology
The archaic sacred hoop said unity
Flower of life symbolizing oneness
Conjuring the great thunderbird spirit
Forgotten magic realized once more blessed
Jungle elders in shamanic practices
Reach deep into the roots of wisdom
To interpret dreams and trances
Performing psychoactive rituals for vision
Shamanic healing for the souls mission
With visions and dreams talking to spirits
Always regenerating death, life and rebirth
In all that's holy in a mysterious search

Pluto Era's career has been defined by consistently staying two steps ahead of the curve on each successive project.

Brandishing a host of new sound design tools, compositional wiles, and a nuanced attitude, the Otoconia EP represents the cutting edge of contemporary electronic production. There's no shortage of pure flavor across any vector of the release, with every track standing up on its own legs, pressing the narrative forward like distinct, interlaced chapters.

The Pluto Era veneer is one of quiet confidence, letting the music speak for the project itself, so it's no wonder that the sounds of Otoconia speak volumes about the nature of this lifelong audiophile.
