It was hard to imagine that Proxima Centauri B, a planet with a high civilization index, would one day become a savage mining colony. The once-thriving clan of Castafarian Keepers had been torn apart by internal strife. The names of influential leaders were erased from history in a series of purges, while the more compliant ones sided with the darkness. Yet, scattered across the boundless landscapes, there were still those who remained true to the ancient traditions.

— Are we sure this Kujo guy got it right? First the portal, then the memory module, and now the trip to here. This is madness, Doc!
— Sometimes, even I forget what I am truly after. Let’s just enjoy the view for now. We’ll find out everything soon enough.

A glimmer of teleportation shimmered in the twilight. Queen of the Smorings was never late. Approaching Spacelunch and Cat, she nodded warmly: “So, how do you like it here?” The conversation flowed as naturally as if no time had passed since their last meeting. It was now clear that the disappearance of Nomad had been an omen of what was to come. The guidance of the warrior queen sounded definite and convincing. Once she was done, a burlap pouch containing an unknown mixture appeared in her hand as if conjured out of thin air. “Take this. It will help in your upcoming encounter. May the force of the elements be with you.” With the sun slipping below the horizon, the gathering of the elders was about to begin. There wasn’t a second to lose.

The latest entry in this deep and meditative Mood Series brings a refined blend of minimal, dub-infused textures with a sharp sense of rhythm. From the first track 'A Piece Of Hope', the rolling shuffle and warm bassline hint at house influences while keeping a stripped-back, hypnotic flow. Lingering chords and subtle vocal touches add melodic depth, making it a well-rounded dancefloor selection. 'Closer' is more into headier territory, building tension with taut percussion and looming chords. The arrangement keeps things fresh, with rhythmic stops and shifts that create movement while maintaining an immersive, weighty groove. The evolving chord work, particularly in the latter half, gives the track an engaging, dynamic feel that holds attention without overcomplication. The title track introduces a more organic approach, weaving in natural sounds and intricate, live-feeling percussion. The deep, rolling bassline anchors the groove, while atmospheric elements subtly shift in the background. A gated breakdown at the midpoint adds a dramatic edge before smoothly returning to its steady pulse. Thoughtfully layered drum fills give it a live, evolving energy, making it an evocative listen both in and out of a club setting. Closing things out, 'Sweet Moment' is the most introspective of the set. A sparse yet emotionally rich melody, possibly from a stringed instrument, adds a haunting touch. Crisp percussion and static textures complement the melancholic undertones, lending a classical elegance to the composition. It’s a strikingly delicate piece that lingers in the mind well after its final notes.
With its balance of club functionality and deep musicality, this release stands as a strong debut, capturing a distinct mood while offering enough variety to stay compelling from start to finish. We are glad to welcome Javier Ho to the series and thank him for making us his home destination for his debut EP.

Italian experimental imprint and event series Polysonica line up their sophomore release 'In Principio Era Il Suono' - a split EP from UENO Collective and Maurizio Sebastianelli that embodies the label’s signature synthesis of forward-thinking sound...Our pick is lead track 'Trópos' - opening with an eerie, buzzing whistle that burrows into your ears, while spacey bells tremble at the edge of silence, as if composed in a shadowy monastery nestled high in Palestrina. As the second minute arrives, haunted frequencies creep in, intertwining with dissonant, horror-like transmissions before evolving into spirited arpeggios and lucid pulses - an eloquent exploration of the tension between darkness and light, and the emotional labyrinth of navigating both.

Mindwaves-Music proudly presents the highly-anticipated album, FM VOLTA, from Berlin-based Danish artist, SOFUS FORSBERG.

Full album ||
http://mindwaves-music.bandcamp.com/album/fm-volta

Nine is the magic number, making this a very special release since the 2005-launch of the artist's previous album, Udefra. So following a busy period of collaborations, projects and performances - Sofus brings us FM Volta: featuring a fusion of man-machine energies, identifying in particular with the modular synthesizer.

From the bizarre and eccentric to the dark and spacey: non-standard techniques in music production have culminated in some incredibly experimental sounds. This latest album is a sonic animation in the truest sense of the word – a painting of sound vibrations inspired by band members: the modular synthesizer, drum/FX machines and mixer.
 
The artist demonstrates a fascination with the 'patterns of sound' illustrated by nature:  “If we look at geometry and the pre-designed elements of nature – everything is already there, so I feel I am channeling that information. So by studying things like the Fibonacci sequence of numbers and fractals – I am simply presenting ideas of how I see the world and the universe. It's all connected – just like music, maths and science.”

From John Coltrane and Hendrix to Autechre: inspiration for music is discovered throughout the ages. The FM Volta album is a revelation though as it follows a nine-year spell of experimenting, studying, exploring, performing and collaborating. It's been a long-time coming - yet Sofus Forsberg has reached one of the most defining pinacles of his musical career with this exceptional new release, in which he unveils a fascinating approach to music production.

The artist will continue to share, collaborate and release new material well into 2014. It's going to be an interesting year ahead. In the meantime, we are happy to share with you this new production from the artist – so feel inspired and watch this space for more from Sofus Forsberg this year.

Sofus Forsberg - One More Time

READ > https://inverted-audio.com/indopan-shore-ellipsis-ft-elaine-howley 

Following 2023's cassette 'Yupana', Andrew Morrison delivers Indopan's latest album, 'In Opulence', via @100percentsilk, "a 70-minute suite of jazzy kinetics, lysergic breaks, and dusted swing". Our pick "Shore Ellipsis", is a hazy, kinetic slice of techno, the track soars on skittering beats, wobbly synths, and Elaine Howley's vocals taking it to the next level.

Indopan - Shore Ellipsis (ft. Elaine Howley) [100% Silk]

Un viaggio ipnotico nello spazio sonoro: questa traccia techno/elettronica a 135 BPM fonde profondità atmosferiche con groove pulsanti. Perfetta per set notturni o momenti di totale immersione, “Orbital Drift” ti trascina in un'orbita fuori dal tempo, tra battiti oscuri e texture cosmiche.
