The fifth release of e s p e r p e n t o represents a new stage in the journey of rediscovering the past of the flourishing experimental music scene in the Venetian area. 
10 musical projects have been involved in the reinterpretation of the audio material taken from the tape release Curved Bell Mirrors, recorded by the Treviso-based producer Therabaqud Leic and originally issued on his own label, Ministry of Ultramarine Theatres in 1988.

Surrealist echoes, distorted reflections, and natural textures come alive in both music and images, enclosed in a limited-edition photographic fanzine. The fanzine also offers access to a restored version of Therabaqud Leic’s original work, completing an audiovisual journey that expands the boundaries of a medium as it has traditionally been conceived.

ESPER005. - Curved Bells Mirrors Reinterpretation V.A.

After a bubbling idea of a specific mix in his head for a while and a lot of moments digging and soaking up summer inspiration - especially from dancing at festivals like pe:rsona - the idea of this mix finally found its shape. Known for exploring across genres and energies, he lets sounds evolve in the background until they’re ready to speak again. Please welcome @nuggetbln to the next epsiode of FlowCast series.

Returning to drum and bass felt natural - like riding a bike - reviving rhythm and memory with ease. Inspired by producers who keep pushing boundaries, he channels that same momentum and emotional depth throughout this set.

What emerged feels like a personal diary entry carved in sound - raw, fluid, and heartfelt. We're excited to finally share it - enjoy the ride!

Carving vast chasms of space with exacting sound design and deadly poise, @katatonicsilentio returns to the Mantis series for another round of highly detailed leftfield techno exploration.

The Turin based sound artist continues to plot her own path through contemporary electronic music, taking cues from soundsystem pressure and dubwise minimalism as much as glitchy experimentation and the meditative repetition of techno. While her output across many different labels can reach to noisy extremes and beatless atmospheres, on her latest for Mantis the Italian artist zeroes in on a hypnotic, mysterious sound cast in the icy moods of late 90s tech step and early dubstep. At all times she finds space for surprise interference even in the most austere of situations, creating a palpable tension that amplifies the deep dancefloor potential of her music and moulding powerful physicality out of subtle elements.

emer - Fog
Short 6
LP & Digital
releases October 31, 2025

Fog is Marija Rasa’s debut album on Short Span as emer, and her first cut to wax. It follows a single featuring Ugnė Uma for Stroom and a wonderful debut tape for the now cult (I hope!) incubator label Lilerne Tape Club.

It’s for dreamers. Very dub. Soul. Ambient too. A bit of Detroit-like post industrial imagining. You can read it is as a new and different version of a very classic dub technique from the producer in many ways - Marija at the mixing console and effects desk, conjuring a new versioned music through radical restructuring and an instinctive reshaping of space + melody + lyric in studio experimentation.

Tracks are pinned down by thick and enveloping bass while other elements float in and out, fleeting narcotic or hypnagogic notes of fantasy and song form bob in and out of focus. Scant colours and disorienting voice and melody sit suspended, occasionally coalescing and breaking out into moments of radiant beauty and slowly burning manifestations of warmth and presence shooting through the heart and gut.

Upstairs//Downstairs, a Melbourne collective that’s been championing international artists for over five years, is now proud to launch its label with Italian-born, London-based producer Big Hands. 

Titled “Anti Militarist Dubs,” the EP stands strong in its message and sound — four cuts built for deep listening and heavy systems. 

Opening with Battle of Cannae, a dubby roller filled with crisp percussion and meditative warmth — the perfect soundtrack for sunlit sound systems. 

A2 — Battle of Carrhae follows closely behind, a deep 120BPM bass groover with detailed percussion and rich textures that tie the first side together beautifully. 

Flipping over, B1 — Stolen Land, a collaboration with Melbourne heavyweight Pugilist, takes things into club territory. Spacious, weighty and rhythmically twisted, filled with polyrhythmic grooves, a few wubs, and gritty percussive drive. Strap in. 

Closing the record, B2 — Battle of Edessa pushes the tempo to 160BPM — a sharp, hypnotic finisher that shows why Big Hands continues to stand out as one of the most exciting producers doing it right now.

Upstairs Downstairs is a Naarm/Melbourne-based promoter "specialising in wubs & dubz in the club", but now for the first time bringing said wubz to life as a label. 'Anti Militarist Dubs' is a 4-track EP by London-based, Italian-born producer Big Hands, featuring a track by Naarm's own bass heavyweight Pugilist.

'Stolen Land', premiered here, is that very track. 

Undeniably club-focused, sitting between the edge of techno & bass music, 'Stolen Land' has a depth and space that has come to be one of Pugilist's many calling cards. Twisted polyrhythmic grooves and distorted percussion swirl across dubbed out vocals & low-end growls. 

'Anti Militarist Dubs' releases in full as both a limited vinyl & digitally via Upstairs Downstairs' Bandcamp on Friday, November 14.

PREMIERE: Big Hands 'Stolen Land (feat. Pugilist)' [Upstairs Downstairs]

The fifth Future Primitive release, Babylon Paralysis, sees the label work with an all-time favourite UK techno artist Steve O'Sullivan. We are super happy to be reissuing a classic slab of late '90s Bluetrain material from Steve in the shape of "Congo Shuffle", which originally surfaced as an untitled B1 on the timeless Echo Freaks 12". Newly extended and edited by O'Sullivan, "Congo Shuffle" has been lavishly cut at the Exchange giving new life to this bottom feeding monster.

On the flip, Steve blesses us with two brand new productions continuing the sub-heavy theme of the A side. Invisible Guest steps away from the straight up 4/4 productions he's nailed in recent years in favour of a stealthy broken dub approach that wouldn't be out of place on go-to Bristol label Idle Hands.

"Paralyzed Dub" is both the inspiration for the release title and another classic demonstration of Steve's ability to stun listeners with very few elements. Play loud and keep away from laptop speakers.
