Following three noteworthy appearances on compilations by On Board Music, Huinali Recordings, and Lost in Translation, New York-based duo Moon Patrol introduces their first long-player, “Mountain House Music.”

Moon Patrol consists of Irina Kotik and Gilles Wasserman, mainly known as co-founders of deep techno and ambient platform Delayed. Irina, a classically trained musician, contributed the melodic parts, and Gilles has been leading the rhythm section of the productions - an excellent symbiosis with meaningful output. A symbiosis whose soundscapes are an ode to the beauty of transitionary states and reflective exploration. “Surface Tension” and “Raflo Ren” grasp the fresh and misty air, with mountains slowly appearing through the morning fog, accompanied by wooden percussive beats. Likewise, the title track, “Mountain House Music” seems to be devoted to the passage from a dreamy, meditative state into an active physical space.
Throughout the ten tracks, we can hear the couple’s harmonious relationship with nature - may it be Prospect Park as their Brooklyn refuge or mountain retreats in upstate NY and Vermont - both spaces and the moods induced by them make an appearance through carefully selected and arranged field recordings (“Inparké” and “Beautiful Brook”). Moon Patrol, though having produced together since 2017 already, took their time to craft their own way of musically syncing and connecting with like-minded artists, such as Dutch producer Love Over Entropy, who took care of mixing the album.

Friends play a significant role in Moon Patrol’s symbiotic ecosystem and that’s why close friend Aspetuck contributed a breezy - grooving remix of “Wevok” - closing the LP with an uplifting, life-affirming note that teases to dance.
“Mountain House Music” was produced in the spring of 2022 while processing a loss in the family. It hence addresses symbiotic relationships and how our interdepence with nature and friends serves both as inspiration and refuge. Though naming their primary inspirations as Boards of Canada, Lord Of The Isles, Ripperton, and Khotin, Moon Patrol found their own very reflective, niche sound in the atmospheric down-tempo realms. A sound that is distinctively organic, immersed in exhilarating exploration, and full of airy breaks.

efja is a multiform electronics imprint operated by lunar convoy. This new endeavor will mainly focus on the experimental & abstract side of things, with a healthy dose of psychotropism.
Man of many trades, lunar convoy has been on the forefront of Brussels club scene since 2015, with regular appearances at C12 and Fuse and his event series Metropolis (co-founder). He’s also co-running a successful deep techno label called NORITE. However with efja, he has set to steer away from any conservative club structures and instead embrace the odd and uncertain.

PREMIERE INFO:
'Beams of Light' is a collection of ambient and modern classical tracks that addresses in equal measure the perceptual and the corporeal: these are sounds that sink into the body, exhibiting a tactility that pushes, pulls, bends and yields with fearsome vibrancy. It's a rich interdependence that lets the tracks breathe, grow and mutate with uncanny organicism.
Finding moments of melody amongst the wide landscape of abstract sounds and samples is the only glimpse of reality you'll find down here.

Revealing the dark torch (naviarhaiku609)

This is a collection of dark, ambient dronescapes created entirely with outboard synths and guitars. These edgy, unsettling and tense tracks are perfect for those spots where more "musical" drones or standard production music fare is inadequate to capture the desired emotion.

It's Plucking Peculiar

2025.09.06 XXX, Lisbon
2025.09.14 Basilar Festival, Fafe
2025.09.19 SUMMA @ Outra Cena, Lisbon
2025.09.26 Unknown #2, Secret Location

Driven by an incessant quest for immersion and fluidity, Enkō’s locked groove style creates a deep yet rhythmically rich performance.

The Basilar Festival resident and SUMMA founder showcases a groovier side to Lisbon techno whilst his contributions to the electronic movement extend beyond performing and curatorship into music production, with releases on labels such as BCCO, HAYES, AWRY or BELUGA TRACKS.

In the half-decade he spent studying music technology and sound design in Leeds, UK, he developed and finessed as a sound artist. And after collaborations with various festivals and events such as Latitude, Leeds Festival, and SHHH_IFT, he established several new projects in Lisbon, including the OBRA, OCASO, cult party SUMMA, and techno label HAYES Collective.

Enkō is a regular at top-level venues and festivals in his homeland, namely Lux Frágil, Indústria, Outra Cena, Gare, Basilar Festival, Boom Festival, Freedom Festival, Forte Festival, Waking Life, Vinculum, Lisb-On, Timelapse, Aroma Cósmico and others.
