In 2024, Dutch artist and producer Nadia Struiwigh founded Distorted Waves, a label devoted to releasing music untethered from the usual listening environments -not solely built for the club or the concert hall, but also for all spaces beyond.

Following her first two releases, OXI 5 and Trees, Struiwigh now curates Distorted Waves VA 01. It’s the label’s first various artists compilation and its most collaborative project to date.

A core part of the label’s identity is a deep focus on the technological aspects of music creation. Each release on Distorted Waves explores a specific piece of gear or a particular tool. For this project, that tool was one that Nadia created herself: a custom Sci Fi Ambient sample pack.
Nadia extended an invitation to a circle of 10 artists she’s connected with creatively and personally. Each was given the same starting point: a bespoke ambient sample pack crafted by Nadia. But instead of prescribing direction, the pack served as a catalyst for play -encouraging open-ended exploration without genre constraints.

What emerged is a wide-ranging collection of tracks that bends through power ambient, experimental contours, dubstep pressure, and more atmospheric oscillations. Each track was shaped from the same sonic source, yet arriving somewhere entirely distinct.

“These sounds traveled through many minds, many contexts,” says Nadia. “It’s a kind of group storytelling, one set of frequencies reshaped into many perspectives.”

Rather than chase coherence, Distorted Waves VA 01 leans into divergence unified by source. This is one for the heads.

OMM Transmission is a platform where music transcends boundaries, creating a space for true connection and free expression. Drawing inspiration from the sacred OM, a sound that represents unity, balance, and the vibrational essence of the universe, OMM is about harnessing the power of music to bring people together.

At its core, Open Mind Music is more than just a name—it’s a philosophy. It's a call for openness, for creativity without limits, and for collaboration that bridges minds and hearts. OMM invites individuals to share their unique soundscapes, creating a collective experience that blends the emotional with the intellectual, the personal with the universal.
