"The relationship of Alley Catss (aka Máté Janky) and EXILES dates back to the very beginning of the label and includes numerous joint efforts and memorable collaborations. He kicked off the first compilation album (EX01) of the label in 2017, contributed several tracks to various VA albums throughout the years, plus he co-organized events and mixes with EXILES, bringing forth artists from his own label too (Daddypower Records). It was just about time to finally have the first full-length Alley Catss release landing in the catalog, presenting seven ethereal tracks, each bearing Janky’s unique voice and dedicated vision for composition and sound design.

Vernacular Cortex Music is a sharp and focused sonic journey in 30 minutes, representing both hard-hitting, glitched beats and icy digitalia as well as fantasy-oriented, dreamlike scenarios. Stepping off the grid and exploring uncharted territories, the first three tracks (st_x, β and β<) share an attitude of overdriven madness, firing up kickdrums, distorted screams and rumbling bass. As the album progresses to Εσχ, the pieces of sound introduced in the first half of the album become even more scattered with more space to breathe, which then slowly fade into a coherent sonic sphere of echoes, mechanic angst and rusted, suffocating dread.

The latter half of Vernacular Cortex Music is a much more sensitive, careful and tender take that bears the stains of stress and uncertainty (_yg), yet shows a way to a future that promises care, joy and an idea of sanity. Like going back to sleep after waking up from a nightmare, +C takes us to a gentle world of sweet dreams, full of virtual harpsichords and iconic organ basses. Finishing up the album, _int is a beatless, waving pulsation with soft rumbles, mellow sighs and bubbling reverberations, slowly closing up Alley Catss’ long-awaited debut on EXILES." - Nemerov

I don't want any kitsch. I got tired. I don't even want to dance. I feel weightless. I don't want to focus on any unnecessary stimuli. I want to exclude everything, while listening to the elementary sounds filtering in from the outside world. I want to lie down on the ground and watch the plants around me slowly grow out of the ground and wrap around my body, covering me. And then return to where I came from. Where we all vibrate as one.

CRRNT – REALM

Relent’ is Ábris Gryllus’ fourth studio album, a two-piece long-form audio material soon to be released on EXILES.

‘Relent’ is vulnerability in change, a relentless detachment, an assessment of loss, and sacrifice by devotion. Gryllus’ ambient trance project could be interpreted as a 40-minute confession on the synthetic feeling of home found in a Wunder-Baum New Car air freshener at a night drive guided by suicidal Hungarian landscapes.

‘Relent’ is forced empathogenic hugs and hired touches, repeated goodbyes, oxytocin-fueled hair sniffs, nameless chemsex encounters and systematic love bombing DMs: a soul seeking escape from the samsara of endless trauma bonding. The easing certainty of death.

But ‘Relent’ is molly-swollen lips too, extorting an "I miss you" backstage, or becoming a parent of a child. Sometimes it is light pollution absorbed by watery pupils, it’s crying at an airport, dreams and fears overshared with strangers, a face you wish to forget and the tragedy of undying hope.

‘Relent’ is being released on 50 limited edition cassettes with numbered, handprinted covers by Gábor Koós.

kukorica (Barnabás Tóth) is a Budapest-based musician and sound artist, and an alum of the Electronic Music and Media Arts program at the University of Pécs. After contributing his work to compilations such as ‘EZMVA’ by 111records (‘bukdácsol és megérkezik’) and ‘Healer’ by EXILES (‘how i found my peace today’), he returns to our label with his debut album ‘ceramic tears’, a 7-track collection that came to be in the autumn-winter period of 2023.

The main focus of kukorica’s work is recreating nature-like behaviors using artificial sounds, and this effortless aim to merge the organic with the synthetic is evident from the first seconds of ‘gritty frogs’ all the way to the last notes of ‘middle tear’.

‘ceramic tears’ is a deeply personal, matured record, one that is also an experiment in observing: after setting up generative systems and stochastic processes, kukorica tries to only step in as gentle arranger, to guide sounds rather than force them in a certain direction. By blending volatile ambient textures with synthesized frog croaks, imperfect choirs with metallic cricket chirps, feedbacked percussive elements with deep roars or quirky vintage synths with the airy rustle of leaves, the artist creates (or allows?) digital imprints of nature-like states that are unique in their imperfections – and that reward deep listening.

Klpflrtpr – Invisible Report

When the news never comes, and you know it most likely never will. When you are seen yet unanswered, clinging to hope, searching for meaning in the smallest gestures, replaying scenes of joy frozen in the past. When you become obsessed, blocked, lurking in streets, clubs, and after-hours, calling old friends.

When the city quietly notes your pain and moves on without you. Stuck in your room as days blur into weeks, then months. Eight hours of screen time. Dishes piling up. Takeaway boxes gathering around you like silent witnesses to your demise. Chain-smoking. Starting letters, deleting them over and over. Calling your shrink to raise the dose. Maybe this time it will go away, but you know it won’t. When you beg for closure, only to realize you’re begging yourself.

This is when you do it. You let go.

We created Closure Brochure to help you through the unbearable, because we love you.

Cherish loss, it’s all you have for now.

Kin Teal (Bálint Haller) is a Budapest-based producer who makes organic and tactile music that’s rooted in club culture. So far, he has released two EPs (via London-based Tropopause Records and New York-based Human Pitch respectively), and his latest drop (‘Undercurrent’) was a single on Scuffed Recordings. The main aim of his project is to express the contrast and connection between nature and humanity through juxtaposing natural textures with machine-made ones, and this sensibility is ever so evident on ‘circadian’, his latest offering.

The five-track EP is tightly packed with unformalized and unpredictable bass music – as per Kin Teal’s ars poetica, heavily digital sounds are carefully intertwined with natural elements. ‘circadian’ is a polished, if not totally pristine body of work: the playfully raw, broken beats carry artifacts of living organisms. The human voice is a central element here; whether chopped and scattered or looped and ethereal, these vocal samples are what make the material really breathe. ‘circadian’ is peak body clock music condensed into 18-minute cycles.

“FOR. functions as a FORum of their shared interests in techno-dystopian sonic worlds and brutalist sci-fi visions evoking various technologically advanced, machine-dominated future scenarios that, by the time, increasingly resemble our contemporary reality.”  

DVX NVX declares itself as “the remains of the Apocalypse, where industrialism has devoured itself, and/or has never been, where only I am, we are I, there is No-thing.” It is clear: it is not only one of the possibilities, it is demanded by fate that these prophets of hopeful dystopias and dark utopias unite their voices, in an utterance that might bring about the end. Technological singularity as a final transcendental realization - to be enjoyed live for the first time, at the end of times. credits

'The title of the newest release of FOR. suggests that our contemporary collective fantasies are trapped in an imaginary vacuum space, or closed-circuit in which the possibility of any alternative looks immeasurably distant. In that sense, the raised fist of a disembodied protagonist by Vera Romhány on the cover of the mini-album is an unequivocal call for a unified protest against the void of our futureless present. But the recent EP of Ábris Gryllus and Miklós Farkas is not only a symbolic gesture of such agitation but also a comprehensive summary of their long-term music collaboration. Ever since their early releases, FOR. functions as a FORum of their shared interests in techno-dystopian sonic worlds and brutalist sci-fi visions evoking various technologically advanced, machine-dominated future scenarios that, by the time, increasingly resemble our contemporary reality. 

The carefully designed sound effects of the new tracks, often inducing sharp noises of some nanotech devices or dismantled futuristic weapons, are almost always counterpointed with harsher sound textures, bold basses, and asymmetric rhythm structures. Accordingly, the recent EP Vacuum also aims to embrace various topics, such as politically engaged movements and militant aesthetics, monotonous labor and dehumanization, neo-industrial corporations, and virtual frontiers of future geographies that have yet to be drawn.'

'The idea of the remix project sort of implied itself along the creation of the album: since I treated creating music as planning journeys in ‘cities’ that are made out of several dozens of sonic building blocks, I quickly realized that besides releasing music as ‘finished’ tracks, I very much wanted to share my experience of discovering such journeys with my fellow artists as well.

I believe this project opens up the structures and possibilities of ‘Automated Dances’, where each producer reacts true to their own artistic values and aesthetics. Exploring, experimenting and reconstructing is the very nature of what we do - with ‘AD Remixes’ we wanted to share the joy and excitement of all of these creative processes. At the same time, I consider ’AD Remixes’ to be a celebration of some of my dearest artists living and working in the cutting-edge electronic music scene today.

Let me thank all of you who contributed to this project, you are truly inspiring me to think and feel about music in many different ways. And obviously, a huge thanks goes for EXILES label-boss Erik: without your persistent help and support, this project would be a non-existent one.'
