Amulet of Tears

Arkhad - Fade

"Entrusting Flame" is a passage of eighteen embers, each one dissolving into smoke, residue, or silence. Ambient sighs, scorched drones, metallic husks, and unruly noise form a shifting architecture - part ruin, part beacon. Through Flummoxed, the fire is not contained but surrendered, it's glow uncertain, it's shape unreadable. What burns here does not end; it mutates and reveals.

Entrusting Flame

Entrusting Flame (preview) [Flummoxed]

Welcome to the Asylum — a sonic ward for the restless and the haunted. Here, every artist is a patient, every set is a session. The walls hum with the sound of electrical pulse therapy, whispered confessions, and the metallic echo of forgotten machines.
   Whispers of the Asylum explores the fractured edges of underground electro, industrial melancholia, and post-human emotion. Each episode is a descent — into obsession, memory, and the distorted beauty of noise.
    This edition features Arkhad, guiding us deeper into the labyrinth of sound, where darkness and rhythm collide.

Tracklist

Mantis Radio 126 – Ontal

// Kepler-737 b > DF-18 
// Incoming transmission: Ece Özel

We head to Istanbul for our next mix, and it comes from Ece Özel. A key figure on her native scene thanks to her Ozel Zevkler party and residency at MiniMüzikhol, she is celebrated for her weird and wonderful take on electronic music.  It’s won her the attention of Boiler Room, and encompasses experimental, lo-fi, ambient, acid and plenty of oddities in between, but all ties together thanks to the underlying sense of mood. Ece will be representing at Dekmantel Festival in August, so you can really get to grips with her sound. 

Before that comes her podcast for our series, and it’s one that builds suspense slowly but surely with sparse, stripped back rhythms that always twist and turn. There’s wonky techno next to kaleidoscopic electronic house, crisp new wave joined to unhinged drum tracks and even hands in the air disco. Always tied together by an occult and unsettling sense of being on the edge, it’s a a set with Özel’s notably unhinged aesthetic stamped all over it.
