Even though he lived in the Netherlands for a while, Japanese producer and sound sculpturer So Oishi first discovered SoHaSo on his return to Tokyo, where he now resides. The Lithospere EP is his impressive debut for the Utrecht-based label. 

https://soundcloud.com/sooishi's music has a unique soothing sensation while its psychedelic undertone resonates on various levels. The four tracks on this EP are simply phenomenal, whether you are into deep ambient soundscapes (Lithosphere, Rays), wonky break beats (BLOSC Figure One) or seeking a decisive Japanese answer to early Autechre-records (Nighthawk). 

While in The Hague, So Oishi studied algorithmic composition and sound synthesis at the Royal Conservatory. "I was doing geeky programming and developed my own software synthesizer and a composition program when I was there", he looks back on his Dutch years. He still uses both elements in his compositions from time to time. And it shows, because So Oishi has carved out his very own unique sound on the Lithospere EP.

So Oishi - Nighthawk

*This has been in the pipe-line for a while.* We tweaked and fine-tuned, and now the result is here for the world to listen to. A beautiful and personal 4 track EP that’s not from this planet. For this release *Lnrdcroy* delivered tracks that fit to the early and mid 90’s techno aesthetic and that tradition of pushing bounderies and finding inspiration in the new and unknown, doing things that haven’t been done before. Quite hard in 2024, but this one didn’t settle for less and has a unique blend of advanced rhythm programming and outerworld melodies.

Unio Mystica:
Absorbed from my room onto a triangle ship, by an alien wearing blue scaled bio-armour, to travel instantaneously across vast folds of time & space. The alien occupied the pinnacle of the triangle, the other two points by myself and an unknown human female, respectively. The ship, at least for this type of journey, was powered by harnessing the coalescent, universal force of LOVE. This truly hierogamic union acted as a sort of inter-dimensional transcendence driver, which allowed us the defeat of all material boundary and therefore, time itself.

It was a keen insight into the ultimate conciliation: that love permeates and binds together an otherwise cold and hostile universe. 

And perhaps it was not an ''alien'' but an angel. Angels are traditionally understood to be preternaturally photonic (of a type), lacking physical densification, and which manifest themselves as various imaginal forms in the human psyche...

What is known: the starship is ours; a portal of two souls combined.

Giving Chase is Hudson Valley-based musician and DJ Scotia's debut solo release on Acid Camp Records. The six-track record is a high-femme hardware journey filled with jacking rhythms, swampy acid lines, and coquettish vocals. The EP opens with a pairing of feverish acid jackers "Who Really" and "Time 2 Work." "Pillow Priestess" and title track "Giving Chase" are expressionistic grooves that explore the ups and downs of sex and romance. "Love To Hate It Too" is a cheeky love letter to acid-house culture, and Otodojo's remix of "Time 2 Work" puts the original track through a kaleidoscope of bass rhythms and textures.

Scotia co-promotes the party Community Rave Network, a monthly queer-centric event that prioritizes classic rave values of music-first ecstasy. She began buying vinyl, DJing, and making tracks while living in Brooklyn in the early 2000s. After moving back to her hometown, she began promoting parties as Outpost 1 that supported regional club sounds—making connections with Brooklyn's UK Bass upstarts Turrbotax and the ballroom scene's Mike Q. In 2011, her work in the music industry went on hiatus, returning in 2022 and since then performing at Wrecked, The Bunker, and at renegade raves and clubs down the East Coast.

BLOMAQ - Cloud Mill (Nicolas Barnes Rmx) [Superordinate Dub Waves]

At a very young age, @ingamauer was hooked on the frequencies of Bunker Records, Trax and Underground Resistance, developing a musical taste that ranges from industrial, techno and EBM to New Wave and Disco.

In her current hometown of St Petersburg, she is a resident DJ of the city’s most famous club @stackenschneider, but it is not enough for a curious soul like Inga, so she set out to explore the World.

Since 2014 she has broadcast her very own “Bon Voyage” radio show on Radio @comeme and as a DJ she already captivated dancers at famed clubs such as Salon Des Amateurs, Robert Johnson and De School.

Furthermore, in late 2016 she debuted as a producer with her first release “From Cologne To Clone” at HVNX, a subdivision of John Talabot’s acclaimed Hivern Discs label. This was recently followed by another dark arresting techno not techno EP on Shtum, the sublabel of Uncanny Valley from Dresden.

Before Inga Mauer takes off big time, she has prepared a mix for the EDWIN Music Channel that does not curry favour with all dancer’s guilty feeds. Instead she melts experimental music by Bourbonese Qualk and De Fabriek with organic ambient tracks from O Yuki Conjugate and drum machine gospel from Otis G. Johnson. A surprising, deep emotional trip that shows her skills as an unforeseeable selector who got only one thing in mind: to send the listener on a twisted bon voyage!

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE!
