Amazing! Can't wait to hear the full version.

Just. Incredible. I would have loved to witness this live.

Alt-pop experimentalist and Croatian Amor collaborator @altoaria pays tribute to lovelorn souls on their @rhz000 return.

Fitting that a release bearing a title referring to an all-consuming state of infatuation would land on Valentines Day. Striking balance between soft and severe, ‘Limerence’ is a lament to unrequited love; a homage to the heart-broken among us.

Tugging hard on the heartstrings, our pick is no less tender for its restraint. String-fuelled, heart-in-mouth melodrama imbued with a sense of yearning. 

'Limerence' is out February 14th on Rhizome.

Xuri, aka Susanne Cleworth, is a Copenhagen-based electronic musician dedicated to exploring organic soundscapes, capturing the essence of nature and its peculiarities while emphasising the imperfections of reality over the artificial perfections of computing.

With a background in graphic design, Xuri approaches music much like working with colours, crafting her sonic landscapes with a unique and evocative colour palette. Her utilisation of hazy, hallucinatory sound imagery in the realm of experimental ambient and organic soundscapes takes the listener on a journey marked by pulsating beats and a contemporary classical sound.


This sonic exploration extends from her previous solo album, 'Bedlam Of Salt,' released on Janushoved. In her upcoming EP, 'Serene Trails,' Xuri ventures into a new realm of organic ambient, offering a captivating and multidimensional musical experience.

Additionally, Xuri takes her background in experimental music and applies it to the dance-floor in her duo Atikka, where they explore extraterrestrial sounds and contemporary sound design, layered with pounding rhythms.

Premiere: Xuri - Serene Trails Ft. John Cleworth [Colectivo Casa Amarela]

"Aethernal Score’’, Aisha Devi’s commission for the BBC Concert Orchestra, is an attempt to intensify the vibrational capacities of the orchestra and divert the expected course of classical-electronic collaboration. Devi has always used her art to push against cultural presumptions, so it made sense to assemble the initial framework for the piece from some of her acclaimed back catalogue, meshing it with new compositions and reworking everything with orchestral elements that follow Devi's radical metaphysical and theoretical guidelines. It's best described as a twenty-minute "mixtape" that embodies the connections between the concert hall, the club and the sacred ritual - or even a demonstration of the orchestra's hidden potential.

Inspired by her Himalayan heritage, Devi has been exploring the entrancing sonic application of monastic practices such as throat singing for many years, as well as developing psychoacoustic methods. This led her to perceive sound as a way of expanding brain activity - something that also plays a shrouded role in the world of chamber music. Applying this to the orchestra, she began thinking about each instrument as a discrete frequency range, searching for its ethereal properties rather than fixating on an object saddled with cultural baggage. Using the density, amplitude and vibrational impact of the sounds in unison, Devi was able to summon the club environment, seizing that space's inherent power - Devi was making orchestral rave.

Two versions of the score are included on the release, one orchestrated in collaboration with Robert Ames and conducted by André de Ridder, performed on October 29, 2021 with the BBC Concert Orchestra at Queen Elizabeth Hall which was commissioned by Elizabeth Alker for Unclassified Live, and the purely electronic version - the synthetic backbone of the composition. Both are very different, and listened to together highlight the transformative power of instrumentation. The result is like a purge of history and hierarchy, with tools of colonization hollowed-out and fashioned into new shapes. A clash of grandeur and sensitivity, and a live deconstruction of the artistic ego, "Aethernal Score" is transcendent re-evaluation of classical and electronic sounds that doesn't just make you think, it makes you resonate.

Heith - medicine boy
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 143S
Release Date: 02 April 2024
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/medicineboy

Heith shares ‘medicine boy’, the first single from the upcoming EP ‘The Liars Tell…’ out via PAN on May 10th.

Heith’s debut album X,wheel marked the beginning of a long journey, the start to a tortuous exploration of consciousness and spirit. The Liars Tell…, on the other hand, feels like a kind of respite, a moment of meditation and pause from the fatigue of dimension-hopping. As if the traveller dismounted their carriage and, standing puzzled on a crossroad, listened to the echoes of distant places. Occupying a liminal space and letting thousand of contradictory tales form the lyrics to one unfathomable song.

Written and produced by Heith
Flute by Leonardo Rubboli
Percussions by Jacopo Battaglia
Mixed & mastered at Tapewave Studio
