Taken from Zaumne (@zaumne) new EP Élévation, out April 16, 2021, via Mondoj (@mondoj-org)

Zaumne's new album titled Élévation is a multifaceted yet subtle work, an abstract collage that is equally entrancing and immersive. Quoting passages from Baudelaire’s “Flowers of Evil”, the Polish musician promises to elevate the soul and consciousness “Beyond the sun / Beyond the ether”. Yet simultaneously, the artist wants us to stay where we are and focus on the immediate surroundings in search of our personal attachment to the world.

Initially recorded for the WET (Weird Erotic Tension) online community the four pieces are an exploration of erotic aspects of the environment and uncanny intimacy with other beings and objects that dwell in our nearest proximity. Just like on previous releases for labels like Czaszka Rec. or Perfect Aesthetics, on Élévation Zaumne maintains his interest in emotional aspects of sound and internet culture – he builds his compositions from fragments of ASMR-whispered poetry, samples of natural phenomena and field recordings from his family home and its environ.

What starts as an escapist exercise driven by uneasiness and ennui becomes an individual healing process, in which the subject rediscovers the strangely intimate relationship with the world and opens up to almost magical methods of communicating with other beings. ASMR samples and sounds of the artist touching, playing with and exciting different objects are an experiment in establishing contact with the non-human realm and a method of attuning the body and the mind to the reality in which everything is interconnected.

Zaumne tests Einstein’s “spooky action at a distance” through radical, sensual intimacy with what’s near, finding a glimpse of the absolute in his own room, again quoting Baudelaire: “To a child who is fond of maps and engravings / The universe is the size of his immense hunger”.

"Syra" is a perfect blend of the two producers' universes, fusing razor-sharped synthetic lines with elements of techno and dark-edged breakbeat. Following the "Materia" EP in collaboration with Circuit 900 released on our label last year and followed by an EP of remixes few months after, we're very pleased to welcome again the Norwegian producer Soldal, member of the KOSO CLUB family, alongside Tokyo-based producer T5UMUT5UMU, who been released on labels such as Knightwerk, Loveless Records and FunctionLab.

Taken from Cimarrón (@cimarron-se-fue) new EP Sin Cara, Sin Nombre out June 22, 2022, via Nodo (@nodolabel)

Pre-order: https://bit.ly/3mEJo1J

Based in Buenos Aires, Cimarrón is a producer and sound artist who creates hyper-contemporary, genre-fluid compositions that blur the boundaries between experimental club music and Latin rhythms.

"Sin Cara, Sin Nombre" is his personal and emotive debut EP that narrates a liberating process of profound inner change. Its heartbreaking synthesised melodies generate an introspective, epic yet euphoric club-focused atmosphere, in which sentimental and intimate exploration coexists with harsh sounds and disruptive Latin beats. Resulting in an aural symbiosis of strength and vulnerability.
