"The relationship of Alley Catss (aka Máté Janky) and EXILES dates back to the very beginning of the label and includes numerous joint efforts and memorable collaborations. He kicked off the first compilation album (EX01) of the label in 2017, contributed several tracks to various VA albums throughout the years, plus he co-organized events and mixes with EXILES, bringing forth artists from his own label too (Daddypower Records). It was just about time to finally have the first full-length Alley Catss release landing in the catalog, presenting seven ethereal tracks, each bearing Janky’s unique voice and dedicated vision for composition and sound design.

Vernacular Cortex Music is a sharp and focused sonic journey in 30 minutes, representing both hard-hitting, glitched beats and icy digitalia as well as fantasy-oriented, dreamlike scenarios. Stepping off the grid and exploring uncharted territories, the first three tracks (st_x, β and β<) share an attitude of overdriven madness, firing up kickdrums, distorted screams and rumbling bass. As the album progresses to Εσχ, the pieces of sound introduced in the first half of the album become even more scattered with more space to breathe, which then slowly fade into a coherent sonic sphere of echoes, mechanic angst and rusted, suffocating dread.

The latter half of Vernacular Cortex Music is a much more sensitive, careful and tender take that bears the stains of stress and uncertainty (_yg), yet shows a way to a future that promises care, joy and an idea of sanity. Like going back to sleep after waking up from a nightmare, +C takes us to a gentle world of sweet dreams, full of virtual harpsichords and iconic organ basses. Finishing up the album, _int is a beatless, waving pulsation with soft rumbles, mellow sighs and bubbling reverberations, slowly closing up Alley Catss’ long-awaited debut on EXILES." - Nemerov

ALIEN!

Our yearly instalment of the Antimatter series is here, and this year is packed with some of the most exciting new talent emerging out of the Soundcloud primordial soup. 

Opening up the release is an ITL frequent-flyer, Archaea with the talents of SamSHB and Temple in support to deliver some of the sharpest engineering on the imprint. 

Following on is a special one - Ton Dune & FLOONK featuring Kaylee is a Dutch & American trans-Atlantic collaboration which we're really excited to get out into the world. A vocal led anthem with a powerful kick in the instrumental - this one does damage. 

Another returning member of the ITL crew is next with Ethera. This Berliner has been making some serious moves in the last year, and so we welcome back with open arms to drop Usually. We love a spooky vocal - keep an eye on this talented writer.  

Insane sets & elite baguettes, LoveTheEND has taken the time out of his busy schedule of being a don to write Iced Out for the series. Ju is a great friend and with tracks like this he's keeping up the momentum of releasing great music time after time. 

The quinquennial track on this year's flagship is Black Sky from producers Osprey & It's Tricky. Osprey has been moving from strength to strength recently and It's Tricky has been on our mind a while - we felt like Black Sky encapsulates the energy that the Antimatter project tries to convey. 

Top to bottom great music & great people to back it... we're proud to present 2025's Antimatter.
