Summer Solstice marks the longest day in the year, and is surrounded by many rituals from the ancient Celts and Pagan folklore. One such event highlights the contrast between fire and water; land and sky. Pagan families would light a large wheel on fire and roll it into the water to represent the sun being at it's brightest just before it begins to weaken. This ceremony is called "Litha"

Our album "Solstice" mirrors this concept of Litha, containing light, carefree, and energetic tracks (fire) against deep, emotive, sweeping soundscapes(water). The back and forth of these two alternating ideas captures the moment that is the peak of summer. This serves to remind us that Solstice is a fleeting time to be enjoyed and even cherished, before the transition into a colder time where many people will spend their days sheltered inside their homes.

Lunarya - The Showers of Summers Past

What if sonic practice were not only artistic expression, but a mode of critical reflection — a way to generate knowledge about the positionality of both producer and listener?
To explore this, I invited the artists I interviewed to contribute sound samples — fragments from their production process — to build a collective sound “database.” With this samples gbw9, Melag0m, Kurzschluss, Mahée and HAUSVRAU produced soundpieces - which are released in the format of this compilation.
Here, sound is activated as a method: both a tool of knowledge and a relational medium. The resulting sample pack reflects diverse sonic practices and acts as a collaborative, affective archive.

Infestation as Sonic Resistance
I use the term infestation to describe how certain practices — deemed disruptive by dominant standards — disturb normative structures, much like weeds invading a manicured garden. Infestation stands for persistent, collective disruptions that challenge the status quo.
This concept ties into anti-capitalist modes of music production. By embracing collaboration, shared authorship, and relationality, the sample pack resists neoliberal values of individualism and competition. It becomes a sonic commons: a space for co-creation, not extraction.
INFESTATIONcan be thought of as a harmful seed, a seed that grows subtly, slowly. The sounds creep in sideways — rough edges, broken rhythms, distorted textures. Infestation is when sounds start growing in the cracks. Cultivated through collaboration, Infestation values disturbance, tension, connection, shared creation and finding new paths.
Some artists in this compilation are boycotting Spotify due to its investments in the arms industry. In solidarity, we are releasing the project exclusively via alternative platforms like SoundCloud and Bandcamp.
