SPF 50, real name Stephan Kimbel Olson, is a resident of the longstanding Bob & Shirley party, runs the Professional Music label, and has graced New York’s finest sound systems with his deep, rolling club sets. In his numerous roles - DJ, engineer, party promoter, label head, producer and dancer - Stephan has become an essential contributor to the city's nightlife culture, a fixture in our extended sonic community.

Stephan's first release on Bliss Point, Social Life, might well be a transmission from a nearby dimension; a collection of club artifacts peaking from just behind the thin veil. On Side A, Stephan has channeled two booming workouts, each with modular synthesis evoking the organic: an unruly bassline snakes through the aural fauna of "Body Concept", while breaks and acid fly by on "Liquid USB", an intricate sonic constellation propelling through space, culminating in the release of classic house chords midway.

On the B side, Stephan takes us further into the unknown. "Grove Map" is world-building club ambiance aptly named after The Grove, a stage deep in the woods at New York's Sustain-Release festival, where portals have long known to be opened. "Iris (Bad Water Version)”, rounds out the offering, a drippy dub that time seems to slip off of, perfect for a melted warm up or come down.

Bliss Point is proud to present Social Life, an offering for those familiar with the power of the deep, as SPF 50 is.

"Vancouver-based artist Destrata chalks up his first solo release for Of Paradise with Counterweight, a multi-layered, richly-textured and often hyper-real journey through new school club music. Placing the critical elements of UK-flavoured bass and breaks under the microscope, Destrata’s almost scientific approach to production sees him examine everything in minute detail, disassembling and reassembling every aspect of a track until a structurally perfect composition emerges.

Featuring four highly immersive cuts, Counterweight showcases a flux of atmospheric inspirations, displaying Destrata’s enthusiasm for more ethereal and fractal sounds built to ooze through back rooms, safeguarding the listener with a weighty lushness."

Track: Like My News

The don of Siberian techno Roma Zuckerman made his debut double LP ‘Phenomenon of Provincial Mentality’ on Gost Zvuk with a much-anticipated showcase of his remarkably diverse language of sound, from quickfire DJ tools to off-kilter extrapolations with a full stylistic diversity in between.
Working through the archive, the label assembled a collection of hypnotic loops in the vein of early Robert Hood and click-and-cut experiments that recall the punk attitude of Berlin's Elektro Music Department, all the while with nods towards European minimal. The album opens with two subdued, speak-and-spell processed vocal jams before 'Text Regulator' brings things into overdrive with furious drum programming and wide-eyed glitch FX. Over to Side B things take a turn into something more melodic and relaxing, an almost BBC radiophonic workshop zone with synthetic underwater sounds bringing to mind Amadeo Tomassi's library soundtracks of the late 70s. Think of early sonic portrayals of deep space exploration or the ocean's vastness mixed with repetitive 909 stabs.

‘I Play Everyday’ strikes as one of the album's highlights, a prime example of Zuckerman’s fascination with creating loop-based grooves to get lost in. There’s a hint of Richard H. Kirk’s 90s IDM classic ‘Freezone’ in the timbre of the opening moments, but where Kirk goes into sample-heavy cross-cultural futurism, ‘I Play Everyday’ seems acutely concerned with subtle reductions. ‘Extra Work’ harnesses a kind of pounding warehouse gabber energy with what sounds like a collage of shortwave radio voices, whereas album closer ‘Companeros’ brings in snippets of traditional Spanish-style acoustic guitar, albeit layered in a concrete manner with bursts of electrical distortion. It makes for one of the LP’s most surprising moments, but all round ‘Phenomenon of Provincial Mentality’ shows an artist working with a vast variety of styles. A truly great body of work to kick off the year

PREMIERE | Roma Zuckerman - Like My News [Gost Zvuk] 2024

"Celebrating our tenth release, we proudly present "Feeling Everything, All At Once" - a compelling VA compilation featuring music from our current label family and introducing some talented debutants from Scotland.

RED010 marks a powerful statement of intent as we look to the next five years and beyond whilst reflecting on our achievements so far, what we aspire to accomplish and how we can continue to push the sounds that resonate with us. Although it has taken time to reach this milestone, our commitment to quality over quantity remains unwavering.

This compilation serves not only as a collection of club-ready tracks but also as a longform piece suitable to more passive listening. With a total of 14 tracks, it stands as our most extensive release yet, expanding our label family to well over 20 artists. The digital release will be complemented by a physical cassette, perfect for playing in the dusty tape deck of your mate's Vauxhall Corsa as you head to that mad rave in the countryside everyone is talking about.

We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH) on this project with all the profits being donated to this cause. Both Lewis & Ethan have their own personal experiences with mental health difficulties and strongly believe that SAMH is absolutely vital in facilitating the provision and promotion of mental health care, support & information.

A massive thank you to all those involved in making this happen and their generosity in donating their time and talent to the project."

Premiere: BAUR - Terowongan Jadi Underpass

Warm and understated electro — a transmission for headphone drift, yet grounded enough for a late-night club floor. A swung clav pattern dances with the deep pulse of 303 acid, wrapped in soft DX7 pads and gentle percussive accents. The groove moves slow but with intent, like a coded signal sent to a trusted few.

Influenced by the intimate side of Detroit electro — The Other People Place, Drexciya at their most reflective — Protocol_Love is equal parts motion and emotion, a rhythm for the body with a memory for the heart.
