It’s a rare treat to get new Arcatype music. Three passionate music lovers who are striving to put music first, art first, meaning first. It can be hard to find sometimes. But this is what Arcatype do, and this is why when they proffer new music, it means something. And why we therefore obviously love to sign their music. 

And so we’re delighted to welcome them back for their latest outing with us, a solid two-tracker in the form of ‘Snow Days’ and ‘Split The Harp.’ 

The trio are in no rush to flood the market with music, or release something just for the sake of it. Waiting until they can all be in the studio together to write, an almost forgotten art and methodology, they carefully craft their tracks with a love and detail that sometimes seems to be missing these days. And it’s no different with their latest single. 

We hope you enjoy these as much as we are, and that you hear and feel the passion and meaning they put into their craft.

The first single from Brain's brand new 'Trastorno EP' on Sofa Sound Bristol is a fully catchy groover alongside the unmistakable vocals of Manchester's Vispera.

"Trastorno EP" is a bold exploration of disorder and resilience, drawing from the raw intensity of punk and the relentless rhythms of drum and bass. The title, rooted in the Spanish word for "disorder," reflects the chaos of modern existence—psychological struggles, societal disarray, and the turbulence of identity in a fractured world.

The EP channels the artist’s roots, weaving cultural heritage into the sonic landscape. Traditional Latin American rhythms and emotional textures subtly emerge, reimagined through a punk-inspired lens of defiance and individuality. It’s a testament to the struggle of holding onto one’s identity while adapting to new realities, creating a bridge between past and present, tradition and rebellion.

Emotionally, "Trastorno EP" is a cathartic release—an expression of frustration, hope, and transformation. Socially, it shines a light on human fragility and the resilience needed to navigate inequality, mental health, and cultural displacement. Each track serves as both a personal manifesto and a collective call to reflect, adapt, and find harmony amidst chaos.

Join us for International Women’s Day 2025, with an exclusive mix from - Azura.

Chosen for the EQ50 x 1985 Music mentee of 2023, working along side the label and its artists is a once in a lifetime offer which has been a real inspiration. Her sound ranges from deep & rolling drum and bass to soulful melancholic vibes, as well as futuristic breaks and deep dubstep.

Azura uses both music and acrylic painting to express herself and process emotions, memories, and inner struggles that cannot always be put into words. Through sound and color, she finds a way to make her voice heard – in her own unique and powerful way.

This painting reflects the feeling of being torn between identities, expectations, and the struggle to exist as more than just a construct in someone else’s world. The woman’s fragmented face and mechanical elements symbolize how society often forces women into predefined roles, stripping them of their individuality. There is a constant pressure to adapt, to mold oneself into something more acceptable —more useful.

Ultimately, this piece is not just a critique but a reminder: women are not machines, not symbols, not objects to be shaped by others. They exist in their own right, whole and unapologetic, no matter how much the world tries to break them.

Let’s all come together and honor the women who continue to shape and inspire the world of music and beyond. Happy International Women’s Day!
