Beneath the waves

A sky on the edge of collapse — “stars will fall” by https://instagram.com/sadmehrproject blends dark ambient textures with liminal unease, like a memory fading in reverse.

I Was Meant to Be Beautiful

Raumskaya is a music producer based in Moscow. His sound is cinematic and emotional. Raumskaya sounds like club anthems and bass experiments that have been polished at numerous live performances, music festivals, raves and parties. Melodies and sounds of other worlds from sci-fi films not yet produced.

Initially, the concept for the album was Digital Ecology - but then Raumskaya realized that this album is not so much about ecology but his inner world. And is it possible, if the author still submerges people into the album filled with his personal problems and joys?
Unlike his previous album ‘Castleclub’, ‘Eco’ is beyond Raumskaya’s club background. This album is his real life auto save. Conversation with himself. States and emotions without filters. A cry into the void, a smile and a squint at the blinding sun. Happiness, calm, fear, despair, longing are all in it. Raumskaya left his definitions of trends and styles and just recorded the stream. Melodies played by hands without using a computer. Only the sparkling sound of the 80s Roland d50 synthesizer.

Artwork by cadeu

cadeu has been collaborating with Hyperboloid for almost 5 years. During this time, the musician managed to explore completely different paths in sound design and production. From the emptiness and fragmentation of the 'de' album to experiments on format compositions on 'un'. Hyperboloid is always open to the experiments of his wards, which allowed the author to try out a variety of ideas in the search and understanding of his own sound and approach to electronic music in general. So, on 'hy', an album named after the label, cadeu doesn't try to put any heavy conceptual forms on the tracks, but rather plays with space, snatches of musical phrases and blocks of composition. The result is an intricate, but comprehensible sound pattern at the same time, with references to different styles - be it bass, IDM, glitch or jungle. As always, cadeu's music is difficult to characterize with genre clichés - 'hy' can be both a club and home thing, or just a fan piece. Tracks can be safely put in sets, you can walk to them with headphones or thoughtfully explore this diverse sound canvas.

cadeu сотрудничает с Hyperboloid уже почти 5 лет. За это время музыкант успел исследовать совершенно разные пути в саунд-дизайне и продакшне. От пустоты и фрагментарности альбома 'de' до опытов над форматными композициями на 'un'. Hyperboloid всегда открыт экспериментам его подопечных, что позволило автору опробовать самые разные идеи в поиске и понимании собственного звука и подхода к электронной музыке в целом. Так, на 'hy' [хай], альбоме названном в честь лейбла, cadeu не пытается натянуть на треки какие-либо тяжелые концептуальные формы, а скорее играет с пространством, обрывками музыкальных фраз и блоками композиции. Получается замысловатый, но в то же время понятный для восприятия звуковой узор, с отсылками к разным стилям, будь то bass, глитч, IDM или джангл. Как и всегда музыку cadeu сложно охарактеризовать жанровыми клише - 'hy' может быть и клубным и домашним, и просто фановым произведением одновременно. Треки можно смело ставить в сетах, гулять под них в наушниках или вдумчиво исследовать это многообразное звуковое полотно.

[PREMIERE] CADEU - 75 (HY OUT AUG 28 VIA HYPERBOLOID RECORDS)

Premiering "Zone 2' by Sistema Aero taken from "Oscuridad' out on 25 August via xenonyms

Sistema Aero is a new collaboration by Charles Taciturn and label boss GFXIII in an attempt to step out of their comfort zones and create something completely different from what they're used to.

A few worlds by Charles about the creation of the single:
"The process began by GFXIII (Rafa) sending an initial beat and me (Charles) returning the stems back after having added my own ideas. The process then repeated again, making the tracks each something entirely different than their very first iteration. The result is something both of us are beyond proud of and we're both very appreciative that these weird times allowed for something creative to bloom here."

About Let's Collapse

Let’s Collapse is a collaboration EP between Pixelord and Max Dahlhaus in Moscow and Berlin, respectively. The illusion of the global village, which it seems like yesterday’s, collapsed due to the outbreak of covid-19, but none of this can prevent people from contacting each other. This EP shows how the artists feel in it.

Both artists are good at creating cold music, and the collision of ideas has produced many wonderful changes in the results. The whole EP is like a roaring turbo engine, and the huge sound continuously presses our hearts. There is always some strange but beautiful sound between the heavy drums and the rough background noise, when they appear, it will make the listener's scalp tremble like two sharp pieces of metal rubbed in a flash. All these sounds constitute a sci-fi world, and the rich details bring people into endless spaces of imagination. The world is constantly destroyed and rebuilt in the journey of the seven tracks, and the epic ending leaves all this to the unknown.

《Let’s Collapse》由分别位于莫斯科和柏林的Pixelord 和Max Dahlhaus 共同合作完成。恍如昨日的地球村幻景由于疫情的爆发一瞬间崩塌了，但这一切都无法阻止人们相互联系。这张EP展现的就是音乐人在其中的感受。

两位音乐人都善于制作黑暗冷酷的音乐，这次创意之间的碰撞使结果产生了许多奇妙的变化。整张EP就像一台轰鸣的涡轮引擎，声浪持续地压迫着我们的心脏。在厚重的的鼓点与粗糙的背景噪音之间总有一些奇特但又美妙的声音，他们出现时就像两片锐利的金属片擦过一般使听者的头皮一刺。所有这些声音共同构成了一个未来的科幻世界，丰富的细节使人们进入无尽的想象空间。在这七首歌的旅程中，这个世界被不断地毁灭，又被不断地重建，充满史诗感的结尾把这一切留给了未知。
