[Premiere] Stacktrace - Heal (VIP) (out on Egregore)

amphibologi.es - 130E0A (Juin 2025)

🇫🇷
Et maintenant pour quelque chose d’un peu différent, pour la première fois mais définitivement pas la dernière, nous revisitons notre back catalog. ‘Heal’ de Stacktrace, tirée de notre compilation dubtechno ‘Tones & Echoes’ est le premier morceau à recevoir ce traitement.

Il amène son propre riddim au niveau supérieur avec une version de 10 minutes qui part d’une introduction weightless mystique pour culminer en un bouquet final stepper à la bassline diabolique qui fera même skanker vos grand-parents. Il fait ensuite appel au Bruxellois Knurx qui ajoute un twist digital dub à l’original, tandis que notre label manager Qant prend une direction hybride 160 bpm avec sa propre version. Enfin, Stacktrace et Knurx joignent leurs forces pour une dernière version, pertinemment nommée ‘Hi-Kick Stepper Version’, pas besoin de plus d’explications, laissez la bassline parler d'elle-même.

Now for something different, for the first time but definitely not the last we’re looking back and revisiting some of our back catalog. Stacktrace’s ‘Heal’ from our ‘Tones & Echoes’ compilation is the first to get this treatment.

He takes his own tune onto the next level with a powerful ten minute version that builds up from a mystical weightless introduction to a stepper climax with a devilish bassline that even your nan will skank to. He then enlists the help of Bruxelles’ Knurx for a digital dub twist, while label manager Qant goes down the hybrid 160 bpm route with their own version. Lastly, both Stacktrace and Knurx join forces on one last version, aptly named ‘Hi-Kick Stepper Version’, no need for explanation there, let the bass weight speak for itself.

Shallow, Light & Safe EP

Shallow

Experimental artist ex.sses makes her debut on traverse with 4 body - a 4-track EP that embodies her bass led-palette of sounds and fuses heavy bass, broken drums and textural sounds. 4 body imagines the body shifting and mutating though diﬀerent states,
breaking apart and coming back together to find itself anew. We are drawn into landscapes where the voice whispers from the edges asking the listener to submerge themselves.

Australian and Paris-based artist Gillielove contributes with a remix that depicts to the perfection their love for hypnotic and deep grooves, broken percussions and mutant basslines.

YUKU – Bom Klakk Creative Challenge (Gipsyan Entry)

Gradually, the latest album by Julien Mier, is a sonic journey that delves into the transitions of life, identity, and the blurred boundaries between art and personal growth. With a trilingual brain, Mier reflects on how language shifts have shaped his sense of self throughout his life and the music that he writes. Gradually is his exploration of shapelessness—an urge to break free from rigid musical genres and get closer to his most fundamental expression. The album is composed of nine tracks, each representing a distinct cultural and linguistic influence, all tied together by the theme of gradual evolution.

The first section, Ciel, Soleil, and Espace (French for Sky, Sun, and Space), draws on Mier’s French heritage, evoking the feeling of childhood memories bathed in a warm, nostalgic glow. This fluid, atmospheric section mirrors the soft, ever-changing air, symbolising a time of pure, untainted intention. It feels like a hazy, sepia-toned dream, as fleeting and elusive as the scent of an old friend. The gentle flow of the music mirrors the flow of wind, effortlessly shifting from one element to the next, a reflection of the innocence and clarity of youth.

The second section, Steen, Zee, and Zand (Dutch for Stone, Sea, and Sand), channels the influence of Mier’s childhood in a small Dutch dune village. These tracks are grounded in the hard-edged textures of electronic dance music, a genre that introduced him to a world of rhythm and movement. With a sonic palette of blues, greys, and more defined shapes, this section captures the solid, enduring forces of nature—earth, water, and stone. It’s a sonic landscape rooted in stability, a foundation from which everything can grow. The tracks build from the fluidity of the first section into more structured, rhythmic territories, mirroring the natural transition from childhood innocence to the discovery of deeper, more grounded musical influences.

The final section, Scrap (a collaborative track with the Japanese producer Daisuke Tanabe), Soil, and Spark, dives into the exploration of the world beyond familiar borders. Mier’s relocation from the Netherlands to Australia in 2016 is reflected in these pieces, which grapple with the contrast and complexity of different cultures and environments. These tracks are tinged with rust-red hues and a sense of eroded beauty, evoking a more fragmented, distorted view of the world. The music here is marked by tension, conflict, and the erosion of once-solid forms—symbolic of the digital and ecological storms that shape our modern existence. The closing piece, Spark, signals a new beginning, a hopeful initiation into the cycle of renewal.

The album artwork for Gradually is a conclusive visual representation of this journey, captured in the final frame of an analog film roll that began in the Netherlands and concluded with an image of the streets of Sydney, Australia—a perfect metaphor for the album’s narrative of gradual transition and discovery.

For Julien, this new album marks a deeply personal return to his roots, is the culmination of six years of growth—both personal and artistic, and the first release under his real name during this period. Free from conceptual or genre limitations, the album is an intimate statement.
While releasing music as santpoort on the LA label Friends of Friends allowed him to explore a narrative, lo-fi identity, this release reconnects with the detailed, exploratory sound design that first put Julien Mier on the map.

Julien Mier - Ciel [LPS42]

Before the vocals, before words gave it direction, there was already a shimmer waiting to be uncovered. A sound that carried the mountain’s essence before even being there – as if the music itself had foreseen the journey.

The instrumental version is that premonition. The unspoken heart of Shimmer – instinctive, timeless, and shaped by silence, horizons, and emotions that existed long before I realized them.

If the vocal version is the voice that lifts, this instrumental is the whisper that dreamed it first.

Ladies and gentlemen we have one more lift of, I present to you Shimmer (Instrumental).
