Kangding Ray . Solens Arc
Release : January 2014 on raster-noton
www.raster-noton.net
www.kangdingray.com

A stone thrown, just to watch it fly. A projectile launched for the sole purpose of drawing a ballistic trajectory in the sky.
The Solens arc is what remains after the subtraction of the goal; a simple parabolic curve defined by gravity, impulse and starting angle. No target to hit, no catharsis to wait for, just the beauty of the flight.

The Arc as the purpose, in the form of four variations, constructed from disintegrated melodic textures and dismantled beats. Each sequences are assembled seamlessly into dense, evolving compositions, while keeping their autonomy, and their role in the global dramaturgy.

Pointillist serial loops morph into abrasive rave anthems, broken club rhythms are refitted into uneven patterns, like deconstructivist sound architectures. Industrial techno stompers dissolve into granular sound waves and filtered space pads, before being overtaken by cinematic drums and rising arpeggios.

Solens Arc is Kangding Ray’s fourth Album for raster-noton.

STAUB #126

STAUB #127

Originally from Georgia, Irakli’s early descent into the German capital has seen him corner and develop a side of the local scene and turn it into something of an international affair. Five years ago he created STAUB, one of Berlin’s most celebrated techno parties. As a part of the production duo I/Y, he has been releasing music under the synonymous co-founded label. But most of all, Irakli’s craft behind the decks has been weighed upon by the likeliest of Berlin’s underground venues, namely Tresor, Berghain, and Griessmuehle, with his vision of electronic music taken further afield in Europe and the Americas. In 2017 he founded the Intergalactic Research Institute for Sound with artists like Stanislav Tolkachev, Natalie Beridze, Rezo Glonti, and many others. 

Irakli also heads up a burgeoning convey, diving into exploratory concepts of ambient, hued by the tones and colors of his homeland, Georgia. Adding orchestral collaborations and sound installations to a field of work outside of the club, Irakli’s expanding platforms and industrious connection to Berlin have seen his entry point into the scene now serve as an outlet into the more abstract, experimental realms of techno. With new endeavors afoot and a creative repertoire to boot, Irakli’s DJ sets, labels, and parties always display unique qualities. It does not matter whether he is exploring beatless soundscapes or high-energy techno music; Irakli always manages to create something special.

Jonas Kopp - Blue System 

The Blue System is based on a network of blue silicon crystalline rollers, rotating at high speeds of between 140 and 150 bpm. 

These rollers are located on the mental plane of humanity to prevent incoming and outgoing negative electromagnetic radiation between satellites and relay bases located in different coordinates of the Earth.

Second Edition of Recollections by Rezo Glonti

During the Soviet era, art often had to align with propaganda, seemingly fostering a symbiotic relationship between the state and its people. Consequently, in the realm of “Social Realism,” most forms of artistic experimentation were strongly discouraged and even punishable. With few exceptions, 20th-century Georgian classical/chamber music remained quite conservative; however, when faced with dysfunctional cultural phenomena, there will always be gaps in societal walls through which oppressed cultures can carry their historical heritage and unique paradigms.


In 2018, Glonti started collecting LPs of Soviet-era Georgian composers at Tbilisi’s “Dry Bridge” flea market.The records mostly consisted of classical and chamber music released on Melodiya, the singular, state owned record label of the USSR. It was through this process that the idea of Recollection was born, as Glonti aimed to create an album that would utilize samples from his growing collection.


Recollection I-II will be the first release in a series of 7’’ records, followed by three more releases. The artwork by Dmytro Nikolaienko of Day Night reflects the generic qualities of Soviet-era cover art.

1h02" djset extract by @irakli for Rebus After at Masada (Milano).
27/04/2025 // Set time: 1.00pm - 6pm

"There aren’t many places that truly stay with you — moments that stay in your heart and are hard to forget. Rebus is one of those rare ones. The emotion, the energy on that floor — that’s exactly why I do what I do. Thank you again for these memories. I hope this short piece of the set carries even a fraction of that feeling"
by Irakli

This extract aims to evoke the memories and emotions of that day for those who were there, while also serving as a special gift for those who missed it—a cherished addition to their collection.

Irakli @ Rebus After Masada (27/04/2025)

Next up in our OYE podcast series is Irakli. He surprises us with a rather unusual house mix. Since he's usually known for techno or ambient sets, we really like this. A truly summery mix that immediately puts you in a good mood. Perfect for these gloomy times we're currently living in.

Originally from Georgia, Irakli’s early descent into the German capital has seen him corner and develop a side of the local scene and turn it into something of an international fare. He created STAUB, one of Berlin’s most celebrated techno parties. As a part of the production duo I/Y, he has been releasing music under the synonymous co-founded label.

I/Y Staub Series

The Staub Conspiracy
I am a shape-shifting reptilian alien. My kind controls the planet Earth by taking on human form and gaining political power to manipulate human societies. If you don't believe me, I suggest you do some research on Youtube. There you will find undeniable and overwhelming evidence. 
But hey, maybe you'll still doubt it later... 
What can I say?
The human eye is too primitive to perceive the blunt truth; it is far easier to completely bend reality than accept what is in front of you.
Why am I talking to you?
Well, I just realized it does not really matter if we infiltrate television, governments or even your minds-eye. The world will be ending soon and the only thing that still matters is to dance. 
That is why I'll do techno. 
Before you all get abducted, and all that is left is dust.

DEMENT3D Records presents: Ligovskoï - Mana EP and Remixes - DM3D016

Mana is the second EP by Ligovskoï, the most poetic and abstract band here at DEMENT3D.

The duo, between Bruxelles and Paris, has come up with five new pieces, bringing their craft to a whole new level. Their condensed and moving soundscapes are now heightened by narrative compositions and constructions. Their music is still mysterious and unsettling by essence ; and there is now something of a paradox between a kind of wary decency that definenes their attitude - where melodies and rhythm patterns are concealed in a vast arrangement of deep frequencies - and on the other hand, how they have now managed to now perform as musicians and express some impredictable energy and interpretation in their works. A very elegant way of installing an incarnated and personal dimension in their music, that complements the classic intimacy and deepness of their ambient / drone etiquette.

The record here, much like Ligovskoï’s previous project “Dilip” is associated with remixes - which makes it a double EP. The originals by the duo are found on sides A and B of a white, opaque vinyl, and the remixes on sides C and D of a classic black 12”. 
Abdulla Rashim honours us with a third remix for the label and  we are also proud to welcome Peder Mannerfelt in our remixers roster
