Obtuse Swamp's second ecosystem "Hadal Biocenosis" is the result of two years of sonic exploration by Leipzig-based artist Kontinum. Moving from conventional techno to a more bass-oriented sound, he left his comfort zone and experimented with unusual grooves and textures for this release. The EP is rounded off by two remixes from french dub expert Són du Maquís and fellow Leipzig producer Esgeem.

Release date: April 11th

Kontinum - Hadal Biocenosis (Inc. Esgeem + Sòn du Maquís rmx) / OS02 Snippets

Echoes From a Black Transmission drifts in like a signal caught in decay: seven tracks that shift through eroded textures, low-lit atmospheres, and rhythms worn down by time. Each piece feels like a message intercepted mid-collapse, a transmission from the edge of something ending. A sense of change is tangible, like the end of a season or a slow fading of light. It’s music for that moment when something familiar disappears, and a new, stranger atmosphere takes its place.
There’s a tension between precision and entropy throughout the record. Glitches become pulses, synthetic tones stretch into fog, and structures dissolve into residue. Rather than build toward resolution, the tracks remain suspended, looping in their own gravitational field. Sound becomes sediment.

Introducing bluhol - Recondition (Siooqh)
A constellation of sonic spells shaped by intuition, rhythm, and deep time.
Beginning with a breath of the cosmos — a slow unfolding of space and feeling —
drifting into grooves that ground and enchant, where the earth speaks in pulses.
Rain speaks in rhythms. Shadows pulse.
Time folds inward, reshaping the senses. 
Human Lessons premieres Recondition by bluhol from the release.

𝑷𝑹𝑬𝑴𝑰𝑬𝑹𝑬: Solarythm - Vestigia Mentis (Solma Remix)  [ABT-EP004]

Two resonant voices from Florence’s underground converge in this powerful collaboration between Abo Abo (Daniele Carcassi) and TOMO (Tommaso Andorlini) —  The co-founders of the DE RIO collective and record label both deeply rooted and active in Italy’s experimental electronic scene well  known for pushing the limits of tribe and mental sound presents their first LP on the Brussels based imprint and collective Alliance.
Abo Abo’s multifaceted practice moves fluidly between clubs, theaters, and DIY spaces, blending academic machinery with raw underground energy that oscillates between precision and chaos. Whether through DJ sets, performances, or installations, Abo Abo treats sound as a living, evolving material — a fluid architecture shaped by space and raw impulse he explores as a territory in constant mutation.
TOMO brings a vision shaped by fast-paced rhythms, glitch minimalism, and tactile sound design. His sets are deeply physical, polyrhythmic journeys where IDM, deep techno, trance and post-tribal textures bleed into one another. Every element in his sonic landscape pulses with tension — somatic, spectral, alive.
Together, they craft an immersive, borderless language where loop-driven hypnosis meets granular abstraction. This LP on Alliance Club bridges their worlds: club energy and sound research, intuition and structure — vibrating between movement and stillness.

Aiôn Lazura - Mangrove

A journey through splendor and shadow, guided by a serene strength and an invisible purpose. Each step reveals a new reflection of power: refined, serene, and untouchable. The path does not lead upward, but inward, where true majesty lies in the intertwined silence and light.
