AI-36 comes from Ear to Ear - the debut collaboration between label regular Samuel van Dijk (Multicast Dynamics) and Ukrainian artist Yevgen Chebotarenko. Taken from a series of live recording sessions, the album explores in four parts a markedly darker realm of soundscape music. A cornucopia of abstract morphing scenes and heady synesthesia, the album brims with rich sonic detail and evocative gestures. Deftly blending organic sound textures with an experimental austerity, ‘Live Recordings’ displays potent and accomplished storytelling.

The album opens to a grey overcast vista, a natural landscape that slowly melts into a descending chasmic dysphoria. The mood transitions to a drone-based piece on the B-side, characterised by a more psychologically suspenseful framework and exotic blend of sound design. The atmosphere lightens, yet equally pensive as side C takes on a more elemental form, invoking water and its array of microbial and metabolic ecosystems. Brief cathartic moments in the final section pave the way for deeper wayfaring on the D-side. Stray signals and unknowable artefacts skitter across a vast subaqueous domain, a fathomless womb of potentialities that ebbs into eternity.

Samuel Kerridge - UF Special 270424

Test Subject 2.1 Orsu delicately pieces together an atmosphere of simultaneous flourish and decay, encouraging animate and spectral figures to intertwine in a murmurous bind. Shadows impart themselves to flesh in a moment of blinding clarity before departing back to cavernous depths, dissolving mortal perception with new frightening understandings....

"In the ancient Greek mythology, the nekuia was a ritual by which the living were summoning the elders in order to receive their help, wisdom and strength. With a contemporary approach of this old magic, the narrative in this mix will guide the listener through a sharp and hypnotic journey into other perspectives, full of mysteries and strange curiosities."

CONSTRUCT / DESTRUCT is an event series based in Riga, Latvia, focused on dark technoid music with industrial strength sonics. With inception in 2005 as side-events to STURM and re-animated in 2014 by SKD, this will be a celebratory year marking the decade(s) passed, bridges built and connections made through sound. It begins at Giri in Berlin with a special program for their 12PM-6PM Breakfast Club series, inviting friends and labels from the city for a get-together with live performances & DJ sets, presenting more of the atmospheric and deintensified side of artists involved, as well as merch from Furanum Records, metaphysik, Monolith Records, photo-verlag, STURM, Syncretism and Voidance Records.

With high-quality food, a cozy ambiance, and an engaged, thoughtful community, The Breakfast Club creates a space for genuine connection - The heart of The Breakfast Club lies in fostering community, centered around live music and the rare use of daytime hours

The heart of The Breakfast Club lies in fostering community, centered around live music and the rare useof daytime hours—a time typically not dedicated to live performances & club music. Inspired by Amsterdam’s visionary “anti-club” concept, the daytime experience is designed as a listening venue, it reimagines the after-party as a healthier, more intentional ritual or a cozy beginning to the weekend.

Sospensione unfolds as an immersive journey through ambient depths and ethereal dimensions, crafted by Kryss Hypnowave. Released on Virescence Records, the EP serves as an ode to emotional contrasts: from the serene flotation of “Sospeso_nell’acqua”, to the lyrical rise of “sospeso_nel cielo”, and the meditative void of “Sospeso_nel Vuoto”.

The release closes with a striking twist: “Sospeso_nel Vuoto (Alexskyspirit Remix)”, where textures expand into reverberant layers and unexpected intensities. An atmospheric invitation that challenges perception and dissolves boundaries.

Out now via Virescence Records (catalogue VRVNL017).


Virescence Records presents [VRVNL017] Kryss Hypnowave – Sospensione, a sonic exploration where ambient textures and deep emotional layers converge.

The EP unfolds through three original tracks:
• Sospeso_nell’acqua – serene and fluid soundscapes.
• sospeso_nel cielo – uplifting and airy atmospheres.
• Sospeso_nel Vuoto – meditative immersion in space.

Closing the release, Alexskyspirit delivers a powerful reinterpretation of Sospeso_nel Vuoto, adding depth and intensity with his signature touch.

📌 Out now on Virescence Records (VRVNL017).

DARK AMBIENT - OUR MALEVOLNT MAJESTY

Furan: on one hand a flammable, highly toxic organic molecule, and on the other one of the pollutive byproducts of a combustive fossil-driven industry. One such heavily industrialized region is Silesia, a place with a turbulent history and formerly one of the world's most prodigious producers of coal.

To Domink Müller, the founder of Furanum Records established in 2007, the aesthetic inspiration behind the label can thus be characterized by both the volatility of the compound and its personally relevant historical context. Such duality is reflective of the dialectical tension between many of the themes explored on the label’s output: brutality/subtlety, man/machine, order/chaos, pain/pleasure, domination/submission. Modern techno, with its inherent capacity to push the limits of human perceptual experience, is the chosen mode of expression for the juxtapositions of these thematic extremes. Through machined rhythmical precision, textural experimentation, and an overwhelming sense of scale, each featured composition on the label aims to serve as an engine of immersion in the part frenetic, part euphoric swelter of sweat, sound, strobe, fog, and flesh. Based in Berlin since 2012, Furanum Records continues to serve as a nexus for the industrial vision of like-minded artists from around the world.
