For our final release of the year we are thrilled to share this conceptual EP ‘An-Xileel’ from two aliases’ of Naarm based artist Daniel Jakobsson; Eastern Distributor and Jörmungandr.

The world building for this release came through a necessity for escapism for Jakobsson. Across this release, he takes you on a vivid journey through Black Marsh, a territory that sprawls through tranquil yet wild swamplands into densely breathtaking rainforests.

Within this captivating landscape resides the Argonians, reptilian humanoid creatures who call Black Marsh home. The EP delves into the world of the An-Xileel, a mysterious anti-imperialist political faction among the Argonians. With sharp, obsidian eyes gleaming with ancient intelligence, they are dedicated to purging the former colonial influence and restoring the homeland to its pre-foreign rule state.

Opening the release, 'Sap Speaker' by Eastern Distributor sets the tone with a frenzied and energetic vibe, establishing the EP's atmosphere. Throughout the track, the crisp percussion maintains a sharp presence amidst the focused and intentionally immersive synthesis. The inspiration for this track stemmed from the swamp environments.

Moving on to Dam Dweller, the composition features cold, dark percussion alongside psychedelic sweeps that plunge the listener into a profound low-end groove. This groove undergoes a gradual evolution into a 4/4 eruption, accompanied by the delicate touch of gentle pads and strings. The inspiration behind this track draws from the water and cave systems of Black Marsh.

Dam Dweller gracefully concludes, paving the way for Sand Shaper, a mellow yet robust track. With a focus on organic instruments, a gliding bass, and bowed strings, Sand Shaper captivates with hypnotising atmosphere and polyrhythmic percussion. The inspiration for this piece lies in the territory's sandy shores.

Root Mender brings the tempo back up, radiating positivity, vitality, and life. Thick sub-bass tones resonate through the body, and purposeful drum programming slice through the ever engulfing ethereal pads. An amphibious croak pulses beneath heavy kicks, accompanied by soothing vocals. Strings and acid basslines elevate the track, marking it as the EP's highlight. The inspiration for Root Mender is drawn from the tree homes of the Argonians.

Concluding the EP, Tree Minder adopts an introspective tone. Minimalist percussion and sharp automation contrast with angelic pads and echoing sounds. Flutes, bells, and bows collectively paint the spirit of an alien world, mirroring the hope brought by the An Xileel to the Argonian people.

01. Eastern Distributor - Sap Speaker

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Jan Swam - Events That Led To My Dissapearance [OS03]

In the third release of Organic Signs, we embark on a direct journey to the musical heart of Refractor: the annual gathering held in a forest on the outskirts of Madrid to celebrate dancing under the sun and stars for 24 uninterrupted hours. 


With four tracks that encapsulate the sound of different mental states you may experience firsthand on this expedition, we begin with label manager Jan Swam's track. He introduces us to ancestral sounds featuring a flute played by himself, gradually accompanied by a penetrating bassline and synth, along with various elements spread across the stereo field. All of this leads to an unexpected finale. Next, we delve into the track by French artist based in Seoul, Pyramid Of Knowledge aka K.O.P. 32, who has crafted a perfect progression of sounds to immerse us in a trance towards the depths of the subconscious. The intensity builds up gradually until reaching its peak in the final moments. 


On the other side, we welcome back our beloved Digitalis, responsible for the label's first release. This time, he presents a lost gem from '97 never before released, transporting us directly to the UK rave scene. Get ready to feel the unleashed pulse of the English artist who left an indelible mark on psychedelic music. Finally, we venture into the last chapter where Tadan pilots an interdimensional ship towards the hidden face of a moon that orbits a planet beyond the solar system. Close your eyes to appreciate the depth of the atmospheres and textures, intertwined with a constant rhythmic line that will guide us to the final moments of the record.
