There’s a particular stillness to September. The air changes, the days shrink, and music begins to draw closer to the skin. This year, that shift was audible everywhere: in Valentino Mora’s aqueous world for Spazio Disponibile, in Lord of the Isles’ tender modular glow on Dusk Delay, and in Vera Logdanidi’s remarkable debut on Rhythm Büro, an album shaped by years of travel, loss, and renewal. These records capture the in-between hours of the season, where club energy and quiet reflection overlap.

Elsewhere, rhythm took on new shapes. Architectural’s release on Tikita threaded the tribal with the hypnotic, while Toki Fuko’s Annulled Music EP moved like vapor through structure. Hagva’s debut on Stagno hinted at transcendence through rhythm’s instability, and Space Biology appeared on Sure Thing with four tracks treating contrast as conversation. CAIV’s collaboration for OODA pushed their latticework percussion into hallucinatory territory, and Nick Breinich, on Old Technology, turned inward with a tactile minimalism that feels almost private. Closing the month, IDO’s long-awaited Transcendental Movements II gathered the threads into something meditative, weightless, and worth every moment of waiting.

Architectural - La Linea Del Rubicón (TIKITA014)

IDO returns with the second chapter of Transcendental Movements – a series dedicated to active meditation and deep listening. Active meditation is a practice of fully inhabiting the movement of sound. Instead of seeking absolute silence, it invites you to dive into textures, to be carried by frequencies, to follow oscillations like a breath. Every vibration becomes an anchor point, every resonance a gateway inward. In a world saturated with noise and anxiety, this approach offers a space to refocus the body and calm the mind. Here, listening is not passive: it’s an awakened trance where tensions shift and dissolve, leaving only a pure sense of presence.

For this second volume, Valentino Mora has gathered a new ensemble of artists exploring the frontier between intimate perception and sonic landscape. The compositions – slow and organic – unfold like micro-universes, at times ethereal, at times dense, designed to guide the listener on a sensory journey that transforms anxiety into movement, and movement into inner peace. Transcendental Movements Vol. 2 is an invitation to listen differently: not to escape, but to return to yourself.

On Biotope, @valentinomora ventures even further from the dancefloor, delving into a rich, psychoacoustic realm shaped by modular and spectral synthesis. Built primarily around the Rossum Panharmonium, a module that analyzes and re-synthesizes audio into evolving harmonic clusters in real time, the album conjures an imagined ecosystem, where sound behaves with the logic and fluidity of organic life. Eschewing traditional field recordings, Mora instead sculpts textures and gestures that feel deeply natural yet are entirely synthetic. Inspired by elements such as soil composition, air, humidity, light, temperature, and the chemical properties of both land and aquatic environments and the living creatures that inhabit them, the soundscapes emerge as a kind of sonic biology. The result is a collection of slow-moving, tension-laden compositions that blur the boundaries between physical sensation and abstract design. Biotope unfolds like a closed ecosystem: modular synthesis treated as a breathing entity, shaped by resonance, friction, and organic motion. It embodies a kind of mystical biology, where textures mimic living forms, and frequencies pulse with intent.

This is music to be felt as much as heard, Biotope invites you to listen with your skin, not just your ears.

Valentino Mora - Biotope (Spazio031)

"Reflection Code" is an EP that delves into the multifaceted aspects of human reflection through a collection of immersive musical compositions, each inviting the listener on a unique sonic journey. The EP invites listeners to explore their inner reflections and connect with each composition on a profound level, creating a unique auditory landscape that lingers long after the music ends.

Toki Fuko music can be described as mechanical signals are structured in a hypnotic substance. Their constant musical experimentation actor perceives as an analysis of the surrounding world.

{..}
Twelve kilometers down
beneath the line of this sound
the world bends
under its own weight
and listens to itself

There
where darkness has thickness
and time drips vertically
the stone does not sleep
{..}

‘Gergely’ is the third EP in the catalog of Stagno Records, marking the debut of the duo Hagva, in-house core project of the label.
Across four extended compositions — Korath, Marianne, Khaini, Leura — Hagva sculpts a guttural sonic geology where time folds and sound gains physical weight. The drones don’t flow, they settle and stratify. The harmonics don’t fade, they thicken and stagnate. Echoes emerge slowly and relentlessly, rising from the deepest trench in the world, to fall again.
It’s a distinct sensation of immersion, driven by a seamless flow of layered soundscapes, aquatic textures and elemental density. It’s not a journey outward, but a pressing descent inward.
It’s the vertical time: a gravitational field of submerged frequencies, tension that breathes slowly, eager to preserve its unique form like mineral memory.

With ‘Gergely’ Hagva opens a world entirely their own: primordial, tactile and unmistakably deep.
There is no map to follow, only pressure points and impulses. Where this record takes you next depends entirely on the landscape of your inner world.
