For our final release of the year we are thrilled to share this conceptual EP ‘An-Xileel’ from two aliases’ of Naarm based artist Daniel Jakobsson; Eastern Distributor and Jörmungandr.

The world building for this release came through a necessity for escapism for Jakobsson. Across this release, he takes you on a vivid journey through Black Marsh, a territory that sprawls through tranquil yet wild swamplands into densely breathtaking rainforests.

Within this captivating landscape resides the Argonians, reptilian humanoid creatures who call Black Marsh home. The EP delves into the world of the An-Xileel, a mysterious anti-imperialist political faction among the Argonians. With sharp, obsidian eyes gleaming with ancient intelligence, they are dedicated to purging the former colonial influence and restoring the homeland to its pre-foreign rule state.

Opening the release, 'Sap Speaker' by Eastern Distributor sets the tone with a frenzied and energetic vibe, establishing the EP's atmosphere. Throughout the track, the crisp percussion maintains a sharp presence amidst the focused and intentionally immersive synthesis. The inspiration for this track stemmed from the swamp environments.

Moving on to Dam Dweller, the composition features cold, dark percussion alongside psychedelic sweeps that plunge the listener into a profound low-end groove. This groove undergoes a gradual evolution into a 4/4 eruption, accompanied by the delicate touch of gentle pads and strings. The inspiration behind this track draws from the water and cave systems of Black Marsh.

Dam Dweller gracefully concludes, paving the way for Sand Shaper, a mellow yet robust track. With a focus on organic instruments, a gliding bass, and bowed strings, Sand Shaper captivates with hypnotising atmosphere and polyrhythmic percussion. The inspiration for this piece lies in the territory's sandy shores.

Root Mender brings the tempo back up, radiating positivity, vitality, and life. Thick sub-bass tones resonate through the body, and purposeful drum programming slice through the ever engulfing ethereal pads. An amphibious croak pulses beneath heavy kicks, accompanied by soothing vocals. Strings and acid basslines elevate the track, marking it as the EP's highlight. The inspiration for Root Mender is drawn from the tree homes of the Argonians.

Concluding the EP, Tree Minder adopts an introspective tone. Minimalist percussion and sharp automation contrast with angelic pads and echoing sounds. Flutes, bells, and bows collectively paint the spirit of an alien world, mirroring the hope brought by the An Xileel to the Argonian people.

Plunge into unexplored sonics with Paris-based Australian artist al dente as he unveils his debut EP on Pure Space titled ‘multiform’.

Across the release al dente assembles a hypnotic merger of eerie atmospheres and playful rhythms, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a world that is both deeply mysterious and unexpectedly fun.

Kicking off the EP is "the temptation," a subtly bass fueled cut that casts murky textures across mesmitic delayed melodies with a pitched vocal sample holding the journey steady. It's instantly captivating and sets the tone of the release for a journey into deeply satisfying electronix.

Transitioning seamlessly into "multiform," al dente unleashes a torrent of slippery beats and twisted synths. Playful in spirit, the track balances its propelling bassline with a crispy four to the floor beat - perfect for warming the floor or a freaky late night adventure.

Flipping the switch, al dente ups the pace on “overnight”. With sharp, skippy rhythms and glitchy nuances the track melts together proto-electro with a modern production sheen. The vocal samples a Croatian soccer commentator, a nod to his family's Croatian heritage and continuation of the playful nrg throughout the EP.

Completing the release comes Melbourne-based producer White Fluff’s remix of “overnight”. Injecting the track with his signature blend of psychedelic sound, the remix feels stripped back yet purposeful, adding a new sonic pallet to the release. It's a reimagining that ensures that the EP leaves a lasting impression long after the final beat fades away.
