Hot Springs

He watched as the magnificent creature reared itself upward from its slumber. It was vast and tall – its shadow casting darkness on the space it left beneath.

It arched its spine, balancing precariously on two feet yet continuing to remain graceful throughout.

The night was young but the beast would stalk the land until the return of the sunlight in the morning. Its presence was enough to cause a shiver – those who had met it would not forget.

The clouds hung thick overhead, ominously so.

Subsai & AOS13 team up for a killer EP on Inshi. The Ukranian duo channel early influences, reimagining Trip Hop and doing so in the best way. This one has us feeling all sorts of moods.

London-based electronic artist Sunden unveils his highly anticipated debut album, Minor Coda, a deeply personal exploration of therapy, catharsis, and the fluidity of human experience through the lens of leftfield club music. Set for release via Loose Lips, a label and club night recently celebrating a decade at the forefront of London’s underground scene, Minor Coda is a strikingly emotive collection of tracks that seamlessly weave intricate breakbeats, immersive soundscapes, and euphoric release. The album captures the turbulence of self-exploration, channeling it into a journey that is as introspective as it is primed for the dancefloor.

From the skittering rhythms and fluctuating dynamics of Process, which encapsulates the disquiet of self-confrontation, to the dreamlike melancholy of Ish, evoking the solitude of late-night city wanderings, each track on Minor Coda tells a deeply human story. Something explores the fragility of identity, peeling back layers of self-perception through heavily textured sound design, while Broke Over Me Like A Rainstorm transforms a moment of personal realization into a swelling, layered composition. Fugit Amor draws inspiration from Rodin’s sculpture of the same name, reflecting on the tension between longing and presence, while To Live Forever In A Skylit Room distills fleeting beauty into a luminous, bittersweet reverie. The album builds towards Coda, a jubilant celebration of love and renewal, before closing on To See With Eyes Unclouded, a final breath of ambient contemplation, acknowledging that growth is ongoing, and understanding is never finite.

Following the well-received album singles, To Live Forever In A Skylit Room, Process & Coda, which gained early support from key tastemakers including Otik. Martha, Tom Ravenscroft, Fliss Mayo, and Om Unit, Minor Coda cements Sunden as a vital new voice in the electronic landscape. Drawing from the glitch-heavy textures of 90s IDM, the spectral atmospherics of ambient Drum & Bass, and the emotive weight of artists like Burial and Andy Stott, Sunden crafts a sound that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. His ability to channel raw emotion into kinetic, club-ready forms makes Minor Coda an essential listen for those seeking to connect and simultaneously let go. Complementing the album’s magnetic originals are remixes from Eomac, Dyslecta and Shelley Parker, who push the sonic boundaries further, transforming Sunden’s intricate compositions into potent club weapons, bridging introspection with movement in entirely new ways.

As Loose Lips continues to celebrate ten years of championing genre-defying electronic music, Sunden’s debut marks a defining moment for both artist and label alike. Just as a Coda in music serves not just as an ending but as a final meditation on all that has come before, Minor Coda lingers in the air long after its final note, a reminder that closure is not an endpoint but an invitation to carry the echoes of experience forward.

Since launching in 2020, London-based record label Alien Communications have carved out a wormhole within the ever-expanding multiverse of electro - part ancestral tribute, part forward-facing manifesto...Frequencies arrive courtesy of Rotterdam-based sentinel ERP, whose clinical funk continues to trace lines from the Drexciyan abyss to present-day neural circuitry. Melbourne-based producer Reptant slithers through with his signature high-res amphibian oscillations, while MOY summons the broken arithmetic of braindance into dizzying fractal patterns. The enigmatic Client_03 delivers encrypted missives from the future’s surveillance zones, while Plant43’s analog cartographies unfurl crystalline electro-geometries for urban mystics.

20/20 Vision’s was founded on the idea of ‘perfect sight’.  We wanted people to have a clear vision of music. A big part of that musical vision was our influences from the origins of Electro music - from the original Electro Pop pioneers Kraftwerk and Yello to more experimental laboratories of Raymond Scott, Tomita, Wendy Carlos and the BBC Radiophonic workshop. We also loved the next wave of Electro from Detroit brought by Juan Atkins and Cybotron. All the early 20/20 Vision output was produced at Farmhouse Studios by Carl Finlow, who went on to record as Random Factor, Voice Stealer and Silicon Scally. Now that output is regarded as classic Electro. It now seems like a great moment again to dive back into the deep and find the next generation of electro artists…

Welcome Chris Roman aka 214 with the 'Ingalls Way’, a record filled with the kind of creativity and production skills we have become accustomed to with his music over the years. After previous outings on electro institutions Frustrated Funk and Central Processing Unit, 214 now appears for the first time on 20/20 Vision. From the atmospheric tones of ‘Potential Events’, the manic energy of ‘Windeye’ and the deeper grooves of ‘Back To Sine’, it’s an EP that leaves no stone unturned in the intergalactic sonic quest. 

On remix duties we have none other than Keith Tenniswood aka Radioactive Man, who also makes his first appearance on the label. Along with his work as Two Lone Swordsmen with Andrew Weatherall, Keith and his Radioactive output is generally regarded in the upper echelons of British electronic music and we’re really excited to have him feature on the label.
