Dawn Chorus & Dusk Crickets

A mixtape for the quiet hours, with a selection of songs Storm Stereo picked up or rediscovered along her recent travels, and accompanied by the sounds of evening crickets and a Mediterranean dawn chorus. Featuring moving canciones from Spain and Guatemala, current Icelandic indie folk, a few old "laika" gems as heard on Greek radio, contemporary chansons with an African twist from Cameroon and Senegal, and a couple easy-breezy tunes from Brazil. Kicking it all off with some “Apricots”, this year's best summer jam from Northern Ireland, featuring a sample of traditional Malawian singers recorded and released by the English ethnomusicologist Hugh Tracey.

Aerae - Nefanda [SMDE51]

Collector’s Special Edition Limited to 50 copies and exclusive to Bandcamp and Void Vinyl

Plying refracted rhythms with an exacting poise, Aerae arrives on Samurai Music with a fully formed sound that plumbs the depths between techno immersion and D&B beat science.

An accomplished, palpable tension runs throughout Nefanda, Aerae’s second solo release. Following up on the meditative pulse of her debut album on Annulled Music last year, the Paris-based artist digs deeper into ominous atmospheres filled with evocative reverb decays and taut, dynamic drum work — tools she wields to render tracks with specific meaning, coded by the Latin framing that runs through all aspects of her musical output. Contemplating the ancient language as an inescapable part of her European roots, on Nefanda Aerae ruminates on external trials and inner impulses, and conjures a jaw-clenching soundtrack to match.

Finding her own language within the dialogue between techno, D&B and dark ambient, Aerae’s music makes a vivid impression thanks to the ideas and intention that drive her in the studio. Nefanda confirms her status as a leading light in deep, psychedelic dance music, making something extremely personal that also reaches out beyond notions of the self like all the best transcendental music.

Sciama - Between Veils [SMDE52]

Released on 5 Track 12" and Digital

Collector’s Special Edition Limited to 50 copies and exclusive to voidvinyl.eu and Bandcamp

With a steely sound matching fathoms-deep echo chambers with metallic textures and precision drums, Sciama arrives on Samurai Music to press into the inspiring hinterland between techno and drum & bass.

Sciama is the production alias for Michael Watters, a producer who since 2019 has carved out a formidable reputation across a stellar run of releases on ASC’s Auxiliary label. While his music references UK bass, transcendental techno and industrial, the end result is a taut, focused journey through fractured, weighty rhythms and vast, ranging atmospherics tilted towards the darkness.

Between Veils is testament to Watters’ refined production, steeped in intensely detailed and layered sound design in constant fluid motion, whether locked to the grid or shifting across the surface of the track like grayscale snow drifts. Noise becomes a subtle tool in his hands, capable of delicacy as much as abrasion, and discord evokes a haunting beauty if you listen past the clangorous overtones he elicits from his pads.

Moving well beyond the boundaries of any specific genre, Between Veils winds up as a strong, independent statement on the meeting point between broad influences and clear intentions — a formidable addition to Samurai Music’s explorations beyond drum & bass and Sciama’s steadily evolving, singular style.

Pessimist & Vega Karim Mass - 02 July 2025

The Dark Wanderer Hoji presents the first EP of Ornament170.  
Four tracks, crafted as a single journey — dark, deep, and precise down to every beat.

The journey opens with 'Gneiss' — minimalist and focused, immersing you in a dense, immersive atmosphere from the very first seconds.  
It’s followed by 'Tempest' — the core of the EP. Hard-hitting, heavy drums lead you through a tense sonic landscape.  
Next comes 'Cyanide'. A cyclical lead pulls you in repeatedly, blurring the line between start and finish.  
The final stop is 'Caravan' — technical and structured, with powerful drums and precise delivery. It closes the journey confidently, without unnecessary flair.

Ornament170 begins its movement.

01 // Hoji - Gneiss
02 // Hoji - Tempest
03 // Hoji - Cyanide
04 // Hoji - Caravan

Libra *Stream*

Continuing the trajectory set by last year’s EPs and experimental long-player, Reeko returns to Samurai Music to deliver an expansive album that goes further into his experimental practice at the intersection of deep techno, drum & bass and electronica.

On Cryptophony, Rico continues this thread of exploration and uses the concept of inaudible or encrypted sounds as an inspirational jump-oﬀ point for an incredibly detailed, nuanced body of work. When meditative minimalism and insistent repetition are key compositional tools, the sound ﬁeld is opened up for subtlety in the spaces between notes, and that's precisely the experience Rico has crafted across seven extended pieces.

"Crytophony explores how sound can conceal, suggest or reveal information in a symbolic, sensory or ritualistic way," Rico explains. "I found it interesting as a first step to investigate further. There are no hidden messages in the music, but there are strange voices that, after the final process, sound transformed."

Cryptophony is released on 2xLP and Digital 
Black, Marbled or Collector's Special Edition (of 50) Vinyl options

The Untouchables  - Lost Knowledge [SMDELP16]
3xLP/Digital
Marbled LP Edition Limited to 100
https://theuntouchables.bandcamp.com/album/lost-knowledge

Four years on from their landmark Grassroots, visionary half-time heavyweights The Untouchables return with their third album, Lost Knowledge. The duo of Kate McGill and Ajit ‘Nitrox’ Steyns have carved out a space in modern D&B all their own, building on a legacy that reaches back to the late 00s to keep pushing into unexplored terrain with an assured and deadly line in rhythmic intrigue and atmospheric immersion. 
 
Lost Knowledge launches into action instantly with the high-pressure drum science and dubby splashes of ‘Drunken Bells’, capturing the loopy techno propulsion and rolling intensity that drives so much of the output on Samurai Music. Where The Untouchables excel is in finding variety and nuance in their relatively forbidding, pared down sound.  

Nothing happens by accident or feels out of place — McGill and Steyns are in total control, and they demonstrate incredible range and inventive approaches within their focused style. The accent of the grooves shifts, and individual sounds carry all kinds of artefacts, yet everything gets folded into the exacting Untouchables sound with a liberal dubwise sensibility. Brimming with inspiration and immaculately produced, on Lost Knowledge their one-of-a-kind sound is stronger than ever.
