A third volume of nocturnes devoted to whetting all thirsts -
a salve to soothe all burns of desire.
For where there once was love,
ever shall its void fill with longing.

Gliding in through the Deutsche bass-biome, we gladly present label newcomer, @genus-aix (aka Jost Wessel). Welding true to the INDEX:essence™, “Heavy Metal, Solid State” is a spectrum of sonic winds. Migrating across 5 low-end rifters, Wessel sound-designs a liquefaction of moods that weave in and out of various textures and inspirations. The result is a shimmering dramaturgy that has the feel of a well plotted mini-album — a start-to-finish 'xperience and a fledgling tease into the talents of Genus Aix.

Tracklist: 

1. As One So Torn
2. Yours In Haste
3. Quicksilver Tooth
4. Rail Carrier
5. Exceptional Blooming

We have been yearning to relieve ourselves and do so today with the release of our first single 'Kiss My Vibe', from the upcoming Downstairs People album 'DSP'.

Downstairs People – Kiss My Vibe [INDEX:016]

The holographic swarm that is Downstairs People returns with their latest collection of subconscious songwriting.

Simply titled ‘DSP’, Downstairs People’s sophomore album expands on their surreal horoscope of Top 40 musings, with nine works that explore the altered states of pop.

DSP reimagines the FM radio spectrum with distorted hooks, sour candy production and cascading vocal harmonies with no lyrics. Sung to us in an unknown language, it’s an archive of warped transmissions from beyond our solar system, conveniently recorded and presented as a flat, spinning monolith.

A brief history of having no time, and an ode to the subversive power of pop music.

XENIA REAPER – You Really [INDEX:019]

XENIA REAPER – Gambling (previews) [INDEX019]

"Music, more than any other art, has an extensive neuropsychological representation, with direct access to affectivity, control of impulses and emotions, and motivation. It exerts great influence on the individual's behaviour, it is one of the fastest and most effective ways to promote the balance between the human being's physiological and emotional state, and that brings them physical and psychological well-being. It produces an exciting effect by increasing the rhythm of breathing, blood pressure and heart rate as a result of sympathetic autonomic activation that produces a feeling of increased alertness."
