Intentions is the first record to be released on new Berlin based experimental label, NIA. The label name is a Swahili word that serendipitously translates to Intentions. The inception of the label came about at a time of peak isolation, prompting label founders, Collo, Delfiné and Loft Garten to assemble a compilation of tracks from artists near and dear as a form of collective practice. Consequently the compilation echoes hyper-melancholia, fragmented orchestral pieces, yearning ambient and experimental sound design laced with bop worthy club moments.

NIA aspires to move with intention to release music rooted in openness and honesty. The platform looks to amplify sound based practices existing to dismantle and decolonise oppressive racist, patriarchal and capitalist structures. The curation of releases gives priority to underrepresented scenes and artists. Through the releases the label aims to form non-verbal communication, aligning collective ideas and practice building on an innovative and diverse approach to music. NIA looks to have a platform for artists to articulate their vision on a project and have it fully actualised collectively.

For the third episode, we give the keys to Sap As Tears - a Mexico-based artist best known for their field recording and documentation of undiscovered worlds, and lux2000 - a sonic entity conceived by Argentinian artist Martina Skretkowicz (aka Martina del Fuego) co-head of Alta Costura label and audio worker. Listen carefully and let yourself be transported: between the caresses on the tall grass and the whistles in the deep canyons, you will discern a whisper like no other.
