rubric at Crystallise 23/11/2024 IYKYK

Recorded live on the night, local selector, sound guru and event curator rubric gave us a very special set which weaved together a curation of boundary pushing electronic sounds, tight percussive grooves and detailed sound design.

We are so glad to share this moment in time from the first ever Crystallise party with those who missed out and those who want to relive it.

Kop-Z first heard the term "A Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamic System" in a book he found in an old junk shop in Manchester city centre for 2 quid. Its describes humans as systems constantly battling the entropy and world’s challenges around us in order to survive:

"Whilst this is true, we are also systems that work together. We think, learn, grow, and create beautiful things like art and music. I love this contrast. There are many similar contrasts in the spaces we inhabit: day and night, love and hate, going to bed at 9 p.m. or 9 a.m.”

He articulates this contrast by juxtaposing vignettes of human life with unrelentingly kinetic probability programming systems. Autobiographical field recordings, manually looped vinyl and childhood video games melt into psychedelic waves of sub-focussed pressure.
Throughout the record, these themes are engaged by a psyche imprinted by influences such as jungle, footwork, noise, rave, post punk, reggae, the Curry Mile and a river in the Peak District. This results in an auditory fabric that interlocks contrasting physical and digital systems across temporal contexts. Rejoicing in the expression of lived human experience, whilst surrendering to the chaos of the machine.

SB002: Kop-Z - A Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamic System EP [Previews]

Emerging from the synergetic labyrinth of Seoul-based Frenchman Pyramid of Knowledge and Ukraine’s Shjva, I expected that presents a cutting-edge take on artificial dimensions of sound. Cycling through realms of deep techno, percussion-rich IDM, and ambient techno, the pair provide a soundtrack for the smoked-out dance floors of today and years to come.

Artist: Shjva / Pyramid of Knowledge
Split EP: I expected that [TERRAM010]
Label: Terra Magic Rec.
Release date: March 2025

Premiere: Pyramid of Knowledge – Back to Earth [TERRAM010]

POLAARIZED is a 6-track LP where the label’s core artists collaborate with some of the most daring and influential creatives shaping today’s music. Polarization—a scientific phenomenon that aligns forces in a shared direction—becomes a metaphor for the collective power of collaboration, where contrasting voices converge into something greater.

POLAARIZED reimagines the club as more than just a dancefloor—it’s a space for radical expression, a meeting point where boundaries blur, and communities thrive. This release is a sonic manifesto for those who live at the edge of the underground, where music becomes a force of connection and change.

To celebrate POLAARIZED, we’ve created a limited-edition sticker pack inspired by iconic Panini collections. Each pack includes 12 unique designs inspired by the concept of light polarization. Limited to 100 copies, these packs come with the digital album.

LYL Radio - Planète Noire - Matriark & Stakhan (23.01.25)

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-coeden-slow-ray

Nearly three years after its inception, Padua-based imprint Wetware Echo returns with 'Ghostform', the latest transmission from co-founder and local alchemist Coeden...Our pick from the album, ‘Slow Ray’, creeps into existence with noise-cloaked kick-drums submerged in a maze of cavernous textures. As the tension builds, Coeden summons EBM’s machine-funk heritage, twisting its rhythmic DNA into something raw. The track’s 117 BPM mechanical chug unfurls like a slow-motion dance of some post-human ritual, laser-lit signals flickering in the periphery. Equal parts hypnotic and unhinged, it’s a procession of synthetic spirits marching through the ruins of a past that never was.

LOIF in for a fast pace, tekky wiggly wobbly mix ahead of the release of his debut album Ghostworld. A real pleasure to have him in the studio, one of my favourite local artists who's sound has been one to define the Australian underground in recent years. Drawing on D&B & psy influences yet uniquely and distinctly LOIF.

Introducing -Jan Swam - The Wind Carries a Druid Voice (Organic Signs)

In a distant future, druidic rituals have evolved into intricate sonic algorithms, unlocking portals of consciousness. This compilation is a collection of lost transmissions—resonances emerging from digital forests and the echoes of ancient incantations. Each track serves as a key to an altered state, where shamanic past and cybernetic destiny intertwine in an eternal spell. Psychedelic textures drift through half-tempo and accelerated rhythms, weaving an auditory tapestry that dissolves the boundaries between the organic and the synthetic, the archaic and the futuristic.　
Organic Signs’ label manager Jan Swam guides us through a landscape of shifting textures, sliced open by psychedelic synths and softened by a ceaseless whisper, keeping us suspended in a hypnotic trance. 
Human Lessons premieres The Wind Carries a Druid Voice by Jan Swam from the release.
