'Pulling inspiration from the depths of the psychedelic world to be translated into four tracks ranging from 110 to 160 bpm. This EP is locked and loaded for real life, dance floor transcendence, with the aim to provide an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and feel the electricity of the here and now... Enjoy friends!'

CA001 AK-ONE - Bushcraft (Scenic Route EP)

https://soundcloud.com/priori-ties Priori's latest single, "Pareidolia," is out today on all digital platforms. It serves as a preview of his upcoming EP by the same name on Midgar in mid-April, coinciding with the label's 9th anniversary. The title is inspired by the phenomenon of recognizing familiar patterns in random objects, which Priori artfully incorporates into his sound design. Imagine anthropomorphic water droplets ascending to a higher plane of existence.

Priori - Pareidolia EP [snippets]

Embracing Midgar's story-tale approach, 'Da Nao Tian Gong' (also known as 'Havoc in Heaven') stands as https://soundcloud.com/polygonia's latest four-track EP. Lindsey Wang draws direct influence from a beloved childhood cartoon, itself inspired by the ancient Chinese legend 'Journey to the West' and the iconic character Sun Wukong. In a retro-modern twist, the tracks vividly depict Sun Wukong's essence: 'Jindou Yun' embodies the swiftness of his cloud, 'Shen Wai Shenfa' invokes his magical hair with tribal rhythms, 'Ruyi Jingu Bang' mirrors his legendary staff's power, and 'Disha Shu' portrays his 72 Transformations through vibrant harmonics.

Estimulus Sonido

SAL (Sonic Abundance & Longevity) is a project dedicated to celebrating and showcasing Pan-Asian arts, music, and culture. Founded in Berlin in 2024, it began as an idea for an annual compilation series to bring together artists we admire from across the globe. Since then, it has quickly expanded into organising events both in Berlin and internationally. 

The theme for the compilation this year is centered around cultural exchange: immersion, dialogue, connection, and curiosity. We aim to help bridge the gap between communities from Asia to Europe and the US; celebrating our diversity and highlighting the confluence of influences shaping our lives. This edition were inviting artists we love across the globe as a vehicle for that cultural exchange.

Kim Ann Foxman - Lunar Dance (The Evil B-Side Twins Remix)

Andy Garvey returns with her second EP release on Pure Space and the fifth EP in her ever-evolving discography. Mastermind explores the dystopian edge of creativity in the digital age - where innovation wrestles with commodification, and connection clashes with chaos. 

Opening with the Mastermind (Tek Mix), the EP launches into foreboding synthesis and a hypnotic pulse, reflecting the restlessness to disconnect from the endless noise. The Deep Mix offers a more meditative twist, pulling the same driving energy into murkier depths.

Two remixes close out the EP with commanding flair. al dente sharpens the original’s edges, injecting razor-sharp percussion and undeniable bass momentum, while LOIF deconstructs Mastermind into a swirling, percussive reimagination steeped in eerie atmospherics.

Mastermind was born from a period of stasis - a creative block amplified by the demands of life and the weight of impactful decisions. It marks a re-emergence into purposeful execution, a declaration of timelessness, and a reminder that even after silence, the rhythm never really stops.
