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.

Music is the cure

Premiere requests - shapes.electric@gmail.com

There is an old primal feeling which seems to emanate from Aleksandr L. As a youngster he used to love sharing tapes amongst his friends and family: sharing is caring… Maybe music served as some form of escapism to the cold and grey Lithuanian weather?

His next step and natural evolution from analog to digital gave place to a podcast series: Electric Shapes. Another remedy in the form of music which eventually turned into the label of the same name, thanks to his partner in crime Jokios Kulturos’s prolific contributions. The sound of Electric Shapes is clearly aimed at an open minded dancefloor bridging the long gone days of alternative raves with the clubs of today. Amongst a continuous (broken) beat the catalogue is also peppered with some more downtempo and relaxed tunes which are a perfect partner to the end of the night or the start of a new day. The main purpose being to spread the love and bring peace through sound: Music is the cure.
