It was a misty and cold day in mid-January, when the fairies suddenly heard the blue jays singing in the distance. They immediately knew what this meant, this was a clear sign that a new fairy was about to spawn.
The fairies flew to all corners of the frozen woods, but couldn’t find the place. It was only in the late afternoon that one of the girls yelled from excitement. She had found a beautiful yellow fairy which was in the process to spawn like a winter flower. Her friend arrived and shouted how stunning the pink color of the new fairy was.
The other fairies poured in, but they all seemed to see a different color : violet, aqua, fuchsia, orange, scarlet and indigo.
More fairies arrived and all of them saw one of these 8 colors. 
This was something which had never happened before.
And while the new fairy slowly unfolded like a delicate daffodil, the forest dwellers uttered a great number of ooooohs and aaaaaahs.
Finally, just after dawn, the new fairy had spawned. 
And it was a fairy like no one had ever seen …

In Different Form (Remixes) reimagines the original EP through three distinct lenses. apaj and luçïd weave deep, atmospheric downtempo renditions, stretching the tracks into rich, contemplative soundscapes. Faul & Spaeth take a different route by distilling the energy to its essence with a focused, driving dance groove. Each remix brings a new perspective to Laaar's playful emotions. The core lingers, but its expression transforms—to a different form.

Premiere: Laaar - Bound (apaj Remix)

Voyage isn’t about where you end up - it’s about how you get there.
Your path unfolds through a lush, minor-key progression, wrapped in dreamy sinewaves, while Hip-hop-infused drums, unhurried yet steady, push forward.
Alan Watts' voice reminds us: when speed erases distance, we lose the voyage itself. Like music, life isn’t about arriving fast - it’s about feeling every note along the way.

Voyage

2008 was my Dubstep era. What I loved about Dubstep (before it became the dirty word of Brostep) was its versatility. Coming from Ragga Jungle, which stood so far apart from most 4/4 genres, Dubstep gave me an access point into so many different spaces. At the lounge, I could play the chilled-out side. At the Reggae club, I could lean into the deep Dub. At the breaks club, I could bring the harder edges. There weren’t any Dubstep-specific venues in Seoul at the time — I might have been the only one playing it in the country — so I shoehorned myself into whatever nights I could.

During that time, I was in a relationship with Anna D — entrepreneur, voice actress, photographer, venue owner, DJ, and resident of We Love Techno at Joker Red, located in Seoul’s artsy Hongdae district. Anna invited me to contribute something unique: techno-inspired dubstep. I called it Dubstepno.

Rhodes Vibe was written specifically for that night, and more specifically for the mix handed out on CD at the door: We Love Dubstepno. It remains one of my favorite tracks I’ve ever produced. Just lovely, through and through.

Ir e Vir (Birdzzie Edit) marks the debut release of Postas de Pescada, a label dedicated to reimagining Portuguese folk through electronic reinterpretation.

Each release is curated by Mike Stellar, our head honcho, crate digger, and sonic archaeologist — digging through dust and poetry to unearth the songs that still pulse today.

The original track “Ir e Vir” was recorded by Grupo de Acção Cultural (G.A.C.) in the years following the 1974 Portuguese Revolution. Formed in the wake of the dictatorship's fall, G.A.C. was a collective of musicians, poets, and activists who gave voice to the hopes and struggles of a changing Portugal, blending traditional melodies with political urgency.

At the heart of “Ir e Vir” lies a stark portrayal of the life of Portuguese fishermen: waking before dawn, braving the sea, and returning with little more than exhaustion. The lyrics speak of labour without dignity, of bodies spent for profits that never reach them. In this edit, those words echo differently but no less urgently. 

Today, it’s often artists who navigate a similarly extractive system: streaming economies, unpaid gigs, exposure in place of income. Ir e Vir becomes not just a chronicle of past injustices, but a mirror for the present: a reminder that the rhythms of exploitation shift form, but rarely fade.

In this edit, Birdzzie, a portuguese producer known for ambient depth and hypnotic downtempo rhythms. slows the track to a reflective pace, bringing its message into a spacious, electronic landscape. This isn’t just an edit; it’s a respectful act of sampling tradition and transforming it for new ears and contexts.

[Premiere]  G.A.C. - Ir e Vir (Birdzzie Edit) [Postas de Pescada Records]

Obscure EP is a quiet return to the origin — where the first ideas surfaced, tentative and unresolved.

But Listen began in live sets — evolving through repetition, shifting with each performance. The voice is Mel Ferràr, reading from Whitman’s Leaves of Grass — a whisper at the edge of clarity. A breath caught between words. This work holds the space between presence and disappearance, between light and obscurity where both are not the opposites, but mirrors.
