PROTO NEXUS explore industrial dancehall and jungle through the vision of MOOKI6 (@mooquidi-alcaline) and B4MBA (@b4mba), this EP born in a travel through Kenya, established a deep connexion with riddimz

- POCKET CALL - is a darkness riddim focus on hard grooves, sharping snare, and heavy bass, a wild wine into a warm sound system, junglist breaks that enhance your night and connect your body and mind to ground them and make them levitate at the same time 
- JABA - While travelling across Kenya waiting for a compact aircraft to take us to the coastline, the bustling urban sounds of Nairobi and the intriguing outcomes of processing the plant used in their beloved drink, known as "Jaba," served as our creative wellsprings.
during this time we created this fusion dancehall anthem named JABA
This sound piece exudes warmth and boasts a meticulously honed sound arrangement that masterfully encapsulates the very ambiance that enveloped us at that time

- ANKHNOWLEDGE - is a frenetic archeological research in a Sub Saharan desert, finding artefact within sabar and breaks, sandstorm is announced  by strings and vocals, slow too fast, it puts you in a transe as snake charmer in a spaceship

ABADIR 'Airborne' ⓜⓘⓧ ⓪⑤⑥

Scorpio Red is pleased to announce the release of Zeynep Ağcabay’s second EP, out on the 7th June 2024.

The Turkish born, London based artist’s 4-track release ‘Memories from the Future’ re-frames memory as a non-linear plane of time: visions and sounds collected from “memories” that are yet to occur but feel already lived. An effort to merge her self-titled spiritual folk project with her former ambient pop moniker mea0u, ‘Memories From The Future’ evokes a cyclical, nostalgic and trippy dream sequence. Distorted vocals, a nod to heavy exposure to Western pop influences, meet with samples of Turkish Ney flute and percussion reminiscent of "home".

Zeynep Ağcabay - On My Mind

Dear Ɠհօʂէ Ꭰąղçҽ label is back in the haunting game with its fourth imprint, this time from ᑕᗩᖇᗰEᑎTᖇᗩᑎ duo (aka Brahim Lumière & Guillaume Lamorte). 

Previously part of Le Marais eponymous LP on Besoins Premiers (along with green beast Jacques Satre), the long-time friends unveil today their four-tracker, depicting the exuberant and colorful myths rooted in their native Provence. In the heavy fuzz and distortion hide the intoxicating rounds of a carnival, the heady scent of a burning wicker man, the deafening drone of a crowd becoming one in front of the dancing flames.

 to be featured on a very limited handcrafted cassette run and digital, get your ticket for the parade on June 12th.

Absorb presents the debut EP by 'dummy tree', the interlocked, ambient strong of Melbourne's Jim Sellars (Yunzero), Jordan Obarzanek (Body Clock, OBA, Cloud Ice 9), and Joseph Buchan (Other Joe).

Three improvisational live cuts form the super-group’s first release, all pinched from their dovetailed performance at the ABSORBED festival in 2024. It was 4:30pm, they were backlit by the afternoon sun. Through these longform recordings, each member of dummy tree can be heard intimately, testing dynamics in turn and introducing surprising amounts of drama. There are guitars, both acoustic and electric, competing with synthesisers and woodwind instruments that build from a murmur into whole walls of sound. The drowsy atmospherics are akin to early Seefeel or Windy & Carl, although careful listeners will also pick up crumbs that trace back to the extensive catalogue of works made by Sellars, Obarzanek and Buchan individually.

You'll find the music of dummy tree to be more disarming than any of the aforementioned, a special project that is worth celebrating in its infancy, and to watch out for while it grows.

Incivility is the third EP from London artist Susu Laroche. Characterized by its relentlessly dark sound and dabke-inspired aesthetic, the release explores the artist’s recurring interest in melodrama, ritual, and catharsis.

“Incivility channels absolute escapism -- rhythm and voice as mediums for altered states,” Laroche says. “Music to access transcendence and freedom.”

Laroche is best known as a photographer and filmmaker, but in early 2020 she began to release music, beginning with her excellent Xquisite Releases EP, A Blunt Instrument. The self-released Control Thyself followed soon after.

Much like her visual art, Laroche’s sonic work focuses heavily on shadowy mysticism and surrealist imagery. Incivility is a continuation of the distinctive songwriting style found on the artist’s previous EPs. The Oxhy-featuring technopagan anthem “Yonder Brother” sets the tone for the rest of the release, which sways between gothic meditations and ritualistic ballads.

Incivility marks the first time Laroche has sung in Arabic. The EP also finds her moving away from previous techniques such as recitation and use of source texts by incorporating made-up words and onomatopoeia to depict sacred rituals, vengeful spirits, and references to 19th century occultist Madame Blavatsky.

Laroche, who is of Egyptian and French descent, finds that “singing is a trance state in itself, each style of voice has a different identity and introducing Arabic communes with that part of my heritage.” Across Incivility’s six tracks, the artist’s vocals are set against a backdrop of murky synths, tribal percussion, and whirring noises.

A spellbinding, highly stylized showcase of Laroche’s unique brand of industrial pop, Incivility stands as yet another compelling statement from the groundbreaking multidisciplinary artist.
