For our seventeenth addition We are graced with the presence of London's own aircode, whose electronic obscurities have been found on such labels as DJ Pitch's 'Tobago Tracks' along with a recent EP on 'Alien Jams'. Julia's productions are truly worthy of being heralded by a label with the word 'alien' in the title - her work is enigmatic and astoundingly unique. It beckons notions of a faraway entity who occupied her mind and attempted to craft their world's music through her eyes using earthly soundscapes.

It is pensive and moving throughout, where aircode has used the absence of space and an unlikely palette of reverb-drenched, distant sounds to accentuate a sense of alienation. Nods to dubstep and UK-influenced genres leak through at times to reinforce the still-present movability and flow that Julia effortlessly melds into the sound design she has mastered. The tracks loop in and out of themselves, where she has broken down each track skillfully into a concise selection of resonances that undergo a perpetual sense of motion that subvert the tropes of contemporary club music. There is an uneasy air of endlessness and repetition throughout; a spiral further and further into an unknown unknown.

The imprint from Turin celebrates its second birthday with Flex003, a compilation featuring ten tools from new, up-and-coming and established artists from around the globe.

Ranging from 90 to 160+ BPM, the release encompasses multiple aspects of experimental club music such as dancehall, drum’n’bass, leftfield techno and broken beats sounds.

The compilation kicks off with a bass post-club experiment of ‘Gain XP’ from Bladeblanc, which leads to the combination of broken beats and atmospherical sound design of ‘Wonder’ from AYLN. Follows ’East Wing Oslo House’, the new techno-adjacent-mutant-club contribution from Ikävä Pii, and ‘Scamming’ from Lighght with its psychedelic vocals and pitch-shifting percussions. To close off the first side of the album we find the leftfield techno of Alec Pace’s ‘Ghost Money’ with its syncopated bass and mysterious vocals. Opening the second half the compilation is Honeydrip with her new work ‘Wake the Phone’, characterised by a bouncing beat and a 90's feel, followed by ‘Sentimento’, the quirky and hypnotic interlude signed by BLCKEBY. Hassan Abou Alam then brings the listener into a distant world with his glitchy robotic tool titled ‘Freeze’. The BPM then shifts up for an explosive ending where club-driven percussive rhythmics blends with d’n’b excursions in ‘Day After the Last Day’ from Diessa and ‘Rek’ from NORA DRUM.

Flex003 is available on all platforms starting from Friday 3rd June 2022.

For EYX010 London-based Italian producer Ikävä Pii returns on the label (following their first appearance with ‘EPOS Digitale’ from September 2021) with a new mind-melter EP titled ‘Process
Fatigue’, their first release of 2022.

Written “literally” while keeping “Discord and Ableton open at all times” and funnelling “ideas from one channel to the other”, ‘Process Fatigue’ contains four quirky club ready cuts reflecting the
intent of the artist in developing new creative processes.

A downshifting sound signals the beginning of Protocol Art, the opening track introducing the listener to the new broad palette of sound from the Italian produce. This dance tool plays around
the alternation of rhythm and melody, while enveloped synthesisers and warped samples convolute into kaleidoscopic musical textures until the last bell hits and dissolves into silence.

Fast paced hit-hats, a syncopated rhythmic session and analog harmonies and effects follow next in Group Chats with High Signal-to-Noise Ratio Become Coops, delivering an unconventional DJ
tool with an incredible attention to sound designs.

Reaching towards the core of Ikävä Pii’s latest work there is title track Process Fatigue, which brings the listener into dark dubstep and obscure dance influenced territories driven by leading sub basses, an incessant kick and a glitchy percussions.

The closing cut is Relevant Channel which kicks off with atmospherical pads, a combination of wild gamelan percussions, tweaked synthesisers and time stretching effects succeeded
imminently diverting the track into a flamboyant rhythmic dance.

Ikävä Pii said:
“How do we decide how to decide? Process Fatigue is an involuntary reflection of the shared
Sisyphean nature of grassroots organising and artistic creation.
It was composed while researching a method and developing a set of tools for both SODAA (the
London collective working on a model for a community-operated club) and a new personal
creative cycle; Discord and Ableton open at all times, ideas crossing from one channel to another -
while also adjusting to chronic tiredness.
New protocols spawn new art and ways of sharing it - but avoid fetishising the process, or you’ll
get stuck. Just make the tune! Do the party! Mess up! Have fun!”
‘Process Fatigue’ is available on all platforms starting from Friday 18th November 2022.

@Beatrice-triste
It is time to let go of your fear and doubts. You must learn to embrace the darkness of your soul, for it is a light beacon of hope for humanity. Your soul wants to show itself in its truest form, strength, perseverance, courage and determination of spirit. In this lifetime your soul needs to cleanse and open its feelings for katharsis.

With the double compilation “Infinite Summer: Ekstase & Fantasi”, katharsis celebrates the return of raves and concerts to society after a long period of pandemic shutdown. A magical summer has passed filled with an incredible pallet of emotional material, ready to be expressed. Therefore, we encouraged a collection of artists we adore to channel their imagination of the greatest way to conclude an endless summer night into a piece of music.

This resulted in a grand assemblage of harmonious manifestations, naturally splitting into two divisions with opposing focuses. On the first part of the duology “Ekstase” coming out on September 20th, we are presented with fourteen tracks for the dancefloor in an array of different styles, ranging everywhere from energetic morning vibes on the junglish opener “Origin, Gate's Dawn” by Yem Gel to hardcore sensations on Mang’s trap-infused roller “Based Halo”.
