Carrier - Neither Curve nor Edge
Cat # CRRR001
Label : Carrier
release - 22/09/23

A1 - Into the Habit
A2 - Shading
B1 - Still So
B2 - The Motions

Carrier is the new project from Guy Brewer, the producer behind projects like Shifted, Covered in Sand and Alexander Lewis. Brewer has been responsible for some of the most confrontational dancefloor music of the past decade. Never one to linger though, he returns with a new sound, a new ethos and a new gamut of feeling and colour.

Throughout his career, Brewer has ducked and dived through the tangled web of classification, often unexpected yet always evasive. He is at his most deadly though at the inception of a new project. A futurist at heart, in the traditional sense, he relishes new beginnings.

The first release in an eponymous series under his new guise is his sharpest to date. Widescreen, immersive, driven by a new gait and less bloody-minded in his timing, he appears more at home and also more adventurous in his new garb. Across four gothic, stepping patterns he states his intent to explore the electronic music axis not as it was, but as it is.

Carrier’s experiments in rhythmic pressure continue with In Spectra, the second offering on his eponymous imprint following releases for FELT and The Trilogy Tapes. A triad of kinetic reductions from an unrivalled practitioner in angular minimalism.

In Spectra finds Guy Brewer magnifying the approach taken on Neither Curve Nor Edge, unthreading the micro-structures within to strip bare his process of reverse-engineered dance forms. His hyper-focus continues on sound and texture, but meshed tighter in tense atmospherics with fascinating results.

Coastal circles the lurch with steady poise, rallying with its faint hardcore momentum and muted dub reverberations. Wood Over Plastic scatters its disassembled rhythmic remains across warped zones of surreality, before closer Locus furrows inside a repurposed stepper amidst sharpened percussion and a creeping sub. Further proof of Carrier’s unique vision, In Spectra is a vital development along his open-ended sonic journey.

traverse is very honored to unveil Berlin-based artist Prieste5s’s first EP on traverse, « Enchantress ».

Her music made its way through various platforms and labels, from Pino Peña’s W133 to Kangding Ray’s ARA and has always had a special place in our ears. Prieste5s’s workflow and research for organic sounds, paired with the minimalism of her production, brings a new depth and drive to her music. From Willow to 10,000 Lux she depicts a powerful landscape full of percs and toms that will get to your mind and feet.

Through Enchantress Prieste5s showcases her love for bass, percussion and hypnotic sounds, building a deep atmosphere and minimalist groove throughout the four tracks.

Prieste5s:
« Thematically, I take a lot of influences from the natural world, geology, and spirituality. Having studied evolutionary biology previously, I have a fascination for all things relating to natural-history. And as a somewhat spiritual person, I also enjoy exploring through my music the idea of one’s personal connection to the earth. I really like to play with the juxtaposition of technology and nature, both in the process as well as the materials I use. For me, it’s a way of showing that we should still seek harmony with nature even amid the chaos of the modern world. I feel like a big theme in my music is the ephemerality of the natural world and how we as participants of that experience can find ways to connect in a magical, childlike sort of way. »

If it appeared right before you, just for a second, would you either walk this fleeting path or let it vanish in a blink, hidden forever beyond the fine lining of your eyelid? Taking the road to nowhere can be tempting, just as the urge to leave everything behind. Paradoxically, embracing the void feels so fulfilling - but isn’t acceptance part of the grief? We’re all searching for our own secret place, where inner peace could finally grow from its embryonic stasis. 

Much like that uncertain trail, the present 'Collage' compilation charts a course through the soft, dreamy side of contemporary electronic music. Designed either for the club or a living room, this ethereal patchwork of 14 tracks is woven from silk-like sound design. ambient techno, experimental, IDM, atmospheric dub sonic - each genre highlights in turns ultra-stretched audio spectrums, smooth instrumental lines, introspective reverberations or digital breaks. 
After Jonnnah’s ‘The Next Kingdom’ - debut LP published earlier this year, this second release embodies the label’s musical ethos once again: cold yet heartwarming textures, celestial synths and volatile rhythms.

Appendix.files welcomes Clima, the alias of Berlin-based producer Samuel Stevenson, with the release of Transient State, a deeply immersive four-track EP that bridges atmospheric soundscapes and experimental rhythms. Drawing on a diverse range of influences from IDM to dub techno and combining ambient textures with the low-end weight of UK bass, Clima crafts a unique sonic palette that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.

Building on the groundwork laid by his 2022 self-released EP Losing Phase, Transient State continues Clima’s exploration of layered field recordings, tactile sound design, and processed percussive elements. Each track offers a nuanced interplay between ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ sonic textures—digital percussion is tempered by analogue warmth, and fragmented rhythms find harmony within emotive ambient frameworks.

The EP’s standout moments reflect Clima’s wide-ranging influences and his ability to navigate the delicate tension between contrasting elements. On you(ether), Clima combines warm basslines, processed samples and scattered, broken percussion to create an ethereal soundscape. Meanwhile, 023 showcases Clima’s skill at merging field recordings, ambient textures, and IDM-inspired rhythms, with heavy bass and a half-time pulse that straddles the line between contemplative listening and dancefloor energy. Tracks like mutant dub and st highlight Clima’s ability to balance fractured club energy with introspective, atmospheric sound design, offering moments that feel equally suited to intimate listening or larger sound system settings.

[ER009] Cwtch - Untamed (Previews)

Label : @ethosrecords
Title: Untamed
Genre: Techno, Breaks, Experimental, Bass
Release Date: 21/03/2025
Catalog: ER009

Cwtch. Some will see it as a series of unpronounceable letters, like a code to be deciphered. Others will guess that it is the translation of a serene and affectionate place in the mystical language of Welsh. 
This double reading is just like the duo it refers to: both a story of deep friendship and a quest for sounds, meanings, textures, mechanics and machines. 

This new EP from Cwtch invites you to pursue a new exploration alongside the two producers, who illuminate the epic with abyssal bass, transcendental rhythms and a superposition of synthetic tribal resonances. Four tracks and two remixes by RM Estali and Fels create this sacred ritual at the crossroads of techno, ambient and jungle, painted like a pagan work on the walls of the electronic music abyss.
