Ice_Eyes & Locre - ASTRA (160 Edit)

Following the release of the single 𝘔𝘢𝘲𝘭𝘢𝘣, the Marseille-based duo Caïn و Muchi presents their debut full-length album 𝘋𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘢. This takes listeners on a journey through a rich tapestry of industrial gloom woven of dubstep, grime, and contemporary hip-hop. In this album, these 'labels' matter as much as they don't, given the heavy mutations they undergo, in a That’s Hara Kiri fashion (RIP Sd Laika).

At the heart of this record lies a dense yet harmonious sound palette, featuring meticulous vocal processing of lead singer Vanda’s voice, which engages reflection on their shared and individual lives.

As the album progresses, the lyrics reveal layers of stress and trauma linked to colonial experience, intertwined with multiple references to North African ghost stories and legends. The result is a resonant experience, where the wraithlike and glacial instrumentals crafted by the duo encapsulates the introspective act of witnessing the turmoil of our current world.

GECKO REC (FT. ASSYOUTI)

Precious Metals Vol.1 is the inaugural compilation from Precious Metals, a label, radio show, and club night.

Since its debut as a radio show on London’s NTS in 2012, Precious Metals has been committed to showcasing  the outer reaches of experimental club music, both locally and globally. Under the direction of DJ and producer Endgame—emerging from South London’s pioneering club collectives Bala Club and Endless. The platform has been focused on capturing the organic cross-pollination of sounds from the inner-city and the sublime chaos of the present moment.

In 2020, Precious Metals evolved into a full-fledged label, seeking to unearth artists that are visionaries on their own terms, eschewing conventional genre limitations. Representing an international roster of uncompromising, iconoclastic artists both established and emerging. Bringing an emotionally charged vulnerability to club culture.

The compilation encapsulates this ethos, and ambition, the culmination of the past 12 years of endeavour. Featuring some of the legends and emerging stars of electronic music.

United in compassion and solidarity for the Palestinian cause and its ongoing humanitarian crisis, all proceeds from the album will be donated to support efforts toward humanitarian aid in Gaza, and Palestinian emancipation.

We premiere 'Bodies and River' which is the opening track off of Rumina's upcoming EP Chase to be released via Precious Metals on the 31st of January . It lulls you into a rhythm that slowly unwinds and breaks out with cathartic sonics and vocals, setting the tone for the remainder of the ep.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Death is certain, life is not. And both are available at our supermarket. 

With everything that’s happening in the world, one must wonder if there’s breaking free from it all or should they just stop trying to make sense of it. It’s a choice and it isn’t — depending on the circumstances one finds themselves in. What seemed senseless beginning to take form and what had always been solid shatters into pieces: home, family, plans, love, identity, freedom, sex, philosophy, technology, making-it, bank account, self, traumas, patterns, overcoming them, residence, conscience, morals, vodka, values, vulnerability — they have equal chances to serve as safe place or jail, wake or deliverance, life or death — go figure.

In its first release, Patar flips the table — and the cards, and the chips with it. No stake is too high to even mention it. One track and 7 versions of it, as an attempt to transgress from confusion to clarity — or maybe the other way around. Here’s an artistic experiment for you: do not brief, do not declare, do not obey, and do not fight — or do. And see what comes out of it. 

Qurgōn is a pit grave. There are dead horses in it, dead people, dead weapons, and vessels. It stinks and it’s scary. It’s a place where nothing will ever be born, or will it? It requires nothing, silently craving admiration. It only ever serves a collective memory of all the heroes and the blood-thirsty freaks alike. They are one, after all. It only is to be unbothered, looked at in awe and disgust; to be a break out on the smooth surface of the steppe’s ass.  

One artist made a call, seven responded — to dig to the bottom of that pit or touch upon its stony texture.

In order of appearance:

Viner [France, Marseille]
Şüräle [Kazakhstan, Almaty] 
Wulffluw XCIV [Moldova, Chișinău]
yutani [Armenia, Yerevan]
Sha Gen [Tajikistan, Dushanbe]
Aunt Zazà [Spain, Barcelona]
Hayk Karoyi [Armenia, Yerevan]
A.Fruit  [Spain, Barcelona]

Here’s another experiment for you: renounce all styles and genres and go with it. Who cares, anyway? Gloomy and epic, repetitive and bass-y — oh, always bass-y. Percussion-thick, yelling, obnoxious, rich. The sound of dying, finding peace, losing it again, and returning back to the hassle. The all-penetrating sound of a baby’s cry and the last exhale of a fighter knocked out for good. Ferocious sirens needling through the layers and layers of dead horses and weapons, clanking, squelching — resonating. With the horrors and hope. With memories and fantasies. With clinging to what seems to be it — and letting go. 

Nothing is certain anymore, yet everything is clear. 

p.s. The locations are mentioned to help gig providers locate the artists and, maybe, give an idea of their background and current state of mind, but not really and not necessarily.

* Qurgōn [Uzbek], commonly unknown as Kurgan [Turkic] or Курган [Russian]  a circular burial mound constructed over a mass burial site of warriors; originally in use in the Russian Steppes, Caucasus, and Central Asia, but later spreading into eastern, central, and northern Europe in the third millennium b.c.

Qurgōn (WULFFLUW XCIV Remix)

NIGHTBURN (SLOWED)

This song is a dive into an atmosphere of distrust and inner anxiety, where the voice of the protagonist balances between resisting external pressures and seeking personal control. The repeated lines about distrust and refusal to accept anything reflect an internal struggle against imposed expectations and rules. The choruses urging “calm down” and “slow down” create a sense of trying to find a pause, a moment of stillness in a chaotic world where every detail feels unpredictable.

Musically, the track evokes experiments with lo-fi, dark hardvapour, and glitch vaportrap sounds: cold, trembling dissonant soundscapes, deep bass, and spacious echoes enhance the feeling of isolation and inner tension. The song feels like a digital nightmare or a nocturnal trip through a maze of thoughts, where every decision exposes vulnerability, and every pause offers a glimpse of control and clarity.

From breaks to dancefloor bangers this release is for every electronic music lover.

Prima Legio will be a limited 100 pz transparent vinyl edition. Make your vinyl preorder and we will be happy to send you the digital release on the spot.

In Cella – coming from the Latin roots meaning The Warehouse.

Since the beginning the warehouses were part of our dance culture, without them, without that vibe and that very particular scenery, things would have turned out very different.

They are an essential part and a great inspiration, a haven for all of us who seek different sounds and experiences.
Without the dance culture we are nothing.

It's our statement.

PRÉMIÈRE: Sequencers  - In CELLA [Fucanglong Files]

Starting out as a space for the East and South East Asian community to come together in London, Eastern Margins has morphed from a party,  into a wider collective, label and platform for its diaspora.

Already with a strong pair of EP's out in the world, the next on their label strand sees a transatlantic collab with NYC-based, Laenz and Tokyo's T5UMUT5UMU. Together, they bring 'Unsleep' EP. 

Driven by syncopated, multi-layered percussion, 'Death Blossom' forms a beautifully haunting prance around the 8-bit dungeon. The celestial vocals of Laenz adding a blissful chill to an all-encompassing, body-pulsing arrangement.
