The Sydney-based DJ and producer Ryan O'Rourke aka Obelisk (he/him) is an emerging name in the Australian contemporary underground club scene as an organizer of the experimental dance event series Nexus (instagram.com/nexus.eora/) and as an artist, holding releases on local compilations (@deep-scan-radio and @meganesia), and showcasing performances as both a solo artist and with the Winged Mantis duo, alongside Sydney-based DJ @index-exe. The work of Obelisk focuses on the interaction between heavy laptop electronic music and jungle/breakcore influences, mediated by a taste for raw aggressiveness and emotional grandeur that have been arranged in his debut release “Meta Bliss”, out today on our platform.

Composed of three original tracks, the release collects sharp, crystalline, and bursting compositions that feature fast and broken rhythms brilliantly juxtaposed with disfigured synths. While often indulging in the belligerent fury of knife-sharp percussions and booming distortion, the EP often crosses into spacious, euphoric melodies accompanied by frantic but cathartic, tempo-shifting drum work. Obelisk’s goal has been to investigate various ways of experiencing ecstasy and euphoria, whether by means of extreme, overwhelming rhythmic aggression, or breathtaking melodic refrains. While going through the 20-minute EP, one is brought to witness a daring descent into rush. “Meta Bliss” is the heavily cinematic sound commentary to some fast-paced, epic-scale, high fantasy encounter with angel-shaped, all-powerful beings of light under an immaculate sky.

Meta Bliss EP is completed by two remixes by the Sydney-based musician, producer, and DJ Ptwiggs (she/her) @ptwiggs and the Perth-based producer and DJ SUS1ER (he/him) @sus1er. Ptwiggs provides additional tones of darkness to “Illidan Bass” by crafting a 170 BPM deep drum and bass rework rich with clangy breakbeats, and diving deep into the obscurity of the industrial bassline. On the other hand, SUS1ER delivers the perfect closure to the release by re-arranging the opening track “Echoburst” into a 178 BPM hardcore anthem that preserves the emotional impact of the original all the way through the rawstyle finale.

Tracks 1-3 produced and mixed by Obelisk. Track 4 produced, mixed, and mastered by Ptwiggs. Track 5 produced and mixed by Sus1er. Track 1-3, 5 mastered by @wimdehaen. Artwork by K095C [instagram.com/k095c/]

Jenn leads us on a blood-pumping ride with SOMA, his sophomore EP now out on formforum.

https://formforum.bandcamp.com/album/soma
With bouncy, yet disorienting patterns that keep you on the edge of your seat, SOMA cranks the tension to max, like a heart-racing POV horror movie, showcasing Jenn's reborn thirst for radical sound wizardry and alien club solutions.
As you navigate through the depths of this release, you may find yourself ensnared in an intricate web of sonic aberrations, questioning reality and wondering what lies around the next sonic corner. Jenn's immersive arrangements convey a sense of relentless pursuit, like sprinting through a dense, eerie forest with a shattered handy-cam, with the same crushing intensity of "The Blair Witch Project."
For this installment, Jenn joined forces with underground heavyweights Talpah, EKSE and TVVASTE, each of whom infused their unique poison to one of the tracks. The EP is completed by Ludwig Wandinger's remix, which feels like the theme of a game over screen. Finally, the chance to regain your breath you were seeking for.
SOMA invites you to surrender yourself to the unknown, to embrace the thrill of the chase, and to revel in the exhilarating uncertainty that lies within. Allow the ominous allure of Jenn's music to consume you, as you step into the dark and twisted sonic abyss he has conjured.

Out of the Water into the Flames

Out of water into the flames
Out of water into the flames

Waves shifting

Where’s your core? 
And how far are you from it?
Have you been shifting?
Disconnecting?
Detaching?
Dissociating?
Do you think about the start?
I’ve been thinking about the end
Disconnected from reality
Experiencing what’s real
Existence
Are you here? 
Are you listening?
Can you feel me?
My heart is beating
Why do we hve a physical form?
Aren’t we just waves?
Anyways
Out of the water
Into the flames

Into the flames
Into the flames

Are you here?
Can you hear me?

Out of the Water into the Flames

Dayrealease "Revery Intuition" [AD006]

"Inspired by baroque, free jazz, dubstep, and early rave. Fairytale melodies, crafted on a MacBook Air, intertwine with sheer reality, expressed through self-captured ZOOM field recordings and cuts from foley sample libraries. orchestral instruments and melodic bass create almost nervous, excessively emotional condition, taken placidly as if in a meditative state, with help of ASMR-like experimental drum patterns."
