Dulce Masse Vega born in Ecatepec, State of Mexico, Lyo XS has made her mark in vibrant Mexico City. Since 2015, she has been wowing audiences with her experimental electronic music project, formerly known as OLY and now evolving under the name Lyo XS.


Her music has resonated at renowned international events and festivals, such as EDC, Mutek Montreal, Ceremony, NRMAL and Boiler Room, leaving an indelible mark on each stage.



We are pleased to announce the release of "Fortuito" ep.
In the words of Lyo XS, this is a production that nostalgically evokes the impulse to get closer to music, overcoming his insecurities that arose along the way and saying "me vale verga" this is what I like.
This project integrates emotions that she has collected along her path, which began as an accident or luck.


"Presión" is a track in which she mainly reflects her insecurities, her impostor syndrome and the constant thought of what they will say, if they will like it or if it will be enough.
Lyo XS turns all these insecurities into this piece, which has become one of her favorites.

NÜ PREMIERE : Digit0nica & Tufi - Swarm (OVER MY BODY)

The first release on raghoul in 2025 will be the debut album ‘Sankara Never Died’ by Moroccan producer 3xOJ. This 9-track experimental bass album is packed with collaborations, featuring live drummers, vocalists, rappers and transverse flute-players, and will be the first release on the label to be made available on vinyl. ‘Sankara Never Died’ is the fruit of four years of labour and is a homage to the electronic sounds coming from this small but significant corner of the continent. Each track invites the listener into a universe of its own, and explores the different sounds that the artist has been working with over the past decade.

Having gained praise for his release Stasix on Nyege Nyege Tapes and EP Stork on Hakuna Kulala, 3xOJ is a Meknes-raised, Casablanca-based electronic music DJ and producer. His approach to music history and theory has brought him in contact with a wide range of styles and influences that he has learned to weave together with his love for contemporary club culture.

note from the heart

Let's not pretend that any of what we do and make as a label and people holds any value or makes any sense in a world where several genocides of our peoples can unfold before our very own eyes with total impunity of the international bodies that are supposed to keep humanity safe and sane. Daily, our screens, powered by the blood and lives of millions of our Congolese brothers and sisters, are overflowing with images that could only be from nightmares. But they're not. They are the horrifying daily realities of our Palestinian, Sudanese, Lebanese, Syrian, Yemeni and Congolese siblings subjected to the exploitation of natural resources, labour, and land. To those continuing to resist and defend their homeland, we owe you our lives. And from the white ruler, we ask: How do you expect us to create capital for you as you bury our women with their children still hiding in their bellies? How do you sleep at night knowing your peace is drenched in the stench of mass graves that were once hospitals? How do you want us to wake up and seize the day when you continue to seize our lands and futures with it?

Sankara Never Died is a catharsis, a purge of some sort. It is a reminder that the revolution is here and looks red, brown, and black.

From the world to Casablanca, back to the world.

DRUM NIGHTMARE w ESTOC

The Shapeshift Spaceship universe is transfuturistic. Being at the boundary of states is not an anomaly in this universe, but a starting point.

Shapeshifting is a method of applied radical imagination that, in the manner of afro- and other emancipatory -futurisms, uses the spatiotemporal immensity of the future and intergalactic distances to declare a transfuturistic universe free from conventional gender and taxonomic reasoning.

The central motif of the Shapeshift Spaceship project – emancipation through the transformation of one's own shape – has an age-old parallel in music: it too uses the principle of constant ephemeral change, rhythmed by repetition, to create its own elusively passing beauty with the extraordinary capacity to transform human emotions along with its own change. The possible maximum of this intoxication with music is a state of ecstatic rapture, a transformation directly experienced through the moving body, accompanied with the awareness of the expanded nature of existence as an indivisible continuum of all its interconnected parts.

With the participation of following shapeshifters, queer, FLINTA, enby and LGBTQQIP2SAA artists: Anthr0morph & Oliver Torr, El Pelele, Evil M, Hihelga, Pope Sangreta, IDKLANG, Technopagan, HrrHrrHrrr, Dj Würm

The compilation is released as an editorial selection curated by Šimon Kadlčák in collaboration with MeetFactory and speedcoretrew.

The project was supported by the Prague City Hall, the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, Prague 5 and the State Culture Fund.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Death is certain, life is not. And both are available at our supermarket. 

With everything that’s happening in the world, one must wonder if there’s breaking free from it all or should they just stop trying to make sense of it. It’s a choice and it isn’t — depending on the circumstances one finds themselves in. What seemed senseless beginning to take form and what had always been solid shatters into pieces: home, family, plans, love, identity, freedom, sex, philosophy, technology, making-it, bank account, self, traumas, patterns, overcoming them, residence, conscience, morals, vodka, values, vulnerability — they have equal chances to serve as safe place or jail, wake or deliverance, life or death — go figure.

In its first release, Patar flips the table — and the cards, and the chips with it. No stake is too high to even mention it. One track and 7 versions of it, as an attempt to transgress from confusion to clarity — or maybe the other way around. Here’s an artistic experiment for you: do not brief, do not declare, do not obey, and do not fight — or do. And see what comes out of it. 

Qurgōn is a pit grave. There are dead horses in it, dead people, dead weapons, and vessels. It stinks and it’s scary. It’s a place where nothing will ever be born, or will it? It requires nothing, silently craving admiration. It only ever serves a collective memory of all the heroes and the blood-thirsty freaks alike. They are one, after all. It only is to be unbothered, looked at in awe and disgust; to be a break out on the smooth surface of the steppe’s ass.  

One artist made a call, seven responded — to dig to the bottom of that pit or touch upon its stony texture.

In order of appearance:

Viner [France, Marseille]
Şüräle [Kazakhstan, Almaty] 
Wulffluw XCIV [Moldova, Chișinău]
yutani [Armenia, Yerevan]
Sha Gen [Tajikistan, Dushanbe]
Aunt Zazà [Spain, Barcelona]
Hayk Karoyi [Armenia, Yerevan]
A.Fruit  [Spain, Barcelona]

Here’s another experiment for you: renounce all styles and genres and go with it. Who cares, anyway? Gloomy and epic, repetitive and bass-y — oh, always bass-y. Percussion-thick, yelling, obnoxious, rich. The sound of dying, finding peace, losing it again, and returning back to the hassle. The all-penetrating sound of a baby’s cry and the last exhale of a fighter knocked out for good. Ferocious sirens needling through the layers and layers of dead horses and weapons, clanking, squelching — resonating. With the horrors and hope. With memories and fantasies. With clinging to what seems to be it — and letting go. 

Nothing is certain anymore, yet everything is clear. 

p.s. The locations are mentioned to help gig providers locate the artists and, maybe, give an idea of their background and current state of mind, but not really and not necessarily.

* Qurgōn [Uzbek], commonly unknown as Kurgan [Turkic] or Курган [Russian]  a circular burial mound constructed over a mass burial site of warriors; originally in use in the Russian Steppes, Caucasus, and Central Asia, but later spreading into eastern, central, and northern Europe in the third millennium b.c.
