LISTENERS GUIDE

Sit tight, keep an open mind, let the balm of music surround you.
You are one of the multitude, in a collective listening act. The nocturnal cicadas will guide your steps into Olorun’s enchanted world.

Asiento is gentle yet brave, attentive yet curious, the feeling at the start of any journey, real or imagined. You can feel a light summery breeze on your skin, accelerating your pulse: a need for exotic places. Accept it and savour it. Tribal rhythm of the unknown, a pleasant memory of our past and the anchor to the natural world. Intrigued by a flock of birds flying high, cherish the beauty of this haven of sweetness immersed in lush nature. 

Yoruba is a delicate ode to movement, a cinematic fantasy of this adventure through the jungle. Pulsing, chasing, echoing: we are fascinated by the natural world, especially because we can’t fully comprehend it. The adventurous Spirit will show us the beauty of Gaia.

Aroüagues brings in ancestral voices to chase the listener, organic percussion to create magical soundscapes. Like a sturdy shell that passes through foggy textures, this is a moving meditation. The connection with the natural world is reminded by the sound of the cicadas.

Daniel[i]’s Amalgam is a liquid sculpture, modeled on the crescendo of this short but delightful voyage. Fog has become warm, a sense of rarefaction to come full circle, creating a twirling, bouncing sense of dance, a place where getting lost again and again. A place where appreciating the untouched beauty of this universe, in times where this seems the most difficult thing to do.

Premieres

After phenomenal debut LP 'Indirect Image' on Danza Nativa just a few weeks ago, a French prodigy Olorun is back with another great release, “WHS02” EP, this time on Aachen-based imprint Whispering Signals. The release features three originals accompanied by a hypnotic remix of Aroüagues by label boss Daniel[i], our premiere for today.

Daniel[i]'s Amalgam of Aroüagues is a slow spellbinding trip that creates a mysterious atmosphere. Its distant chants, tribal percussions, and cosmic synths generate a feeling of discovering an extraterrestrial tribe in the middle of a rain forest having their ritual and communicating with their temple somewhere in distant outer space. Daniel[i]'s Amalgam is an ideal track for warm-up sets in dark basements ahead of long techno marathons.

“WHS02” EP is set for release on April 1st via Whispering Signals.

Olorun - Asiento

It's More Fun To Compute

We’re kicking off the new year with the debut self-release from Melbourne-based artist Fefe, whose seven-track mini-LP, Sketches from Memories, drops in just a few days. This release is a reflection of Fefe’s creative journey over the past five years, capturing the evolution of his sound through a thoughtful collection of tracks.
Our premiere today, Ghost Gum, is an evocative piece that blends gentle, textured percussion with earthy synth tones and a haunting saxophone melody. The track conjures the imagery of a ritualistic dance deep within a forest, brimming with otherworldly energy.
Sketches from Memories will be available on Bandcamp starting January 15th.

PREMIERE: Fefe - Ghost Gum

Spiraling melodies and half time tempos spring to the forefront for our premiere today, titled Ravina. Portuguese artists Floating Machine and Inerte have combined talents for a contribution to the Berlin and Lisbon based event series and label, Art Bei Ton. The fifth edition of their VA series, ‘Seeing Cursed Spirits’ will soon be released that showcases a variety of sounds. All nestled within the folds of deep and hypnotic techno.

Ravina evolves, slowly but surely. Each pulse of the percussion brings new life and energy into the air. A soft pad floats in the background, ethereal and ever-shifting, creating a sense of vast space that’s peppered with bright auditory textures giving movement and spontaneity as they jump around the listener. Gradually, voices become more pronounced, their distant melodies forming a loop that seems to repeat and evolve in subtle variations, like a mantra or chant. The panning continues to play with perception, shifting focus gently from one side to the other until the ending moments as each element slowly falls away.

Art Bei Ton’s latest VA will be released on the 16th of January and includes offerings from a diverse set of artists including Viels, PEIX, and Nao Nhil.

Seeing Cursed Spirits

PREMIERE: Floating Machine & Inerte - Ravina [Art Bei Ton]

The third release on Lola Haro’s Small Steps label from Belgium sees German producer DJ Balduin step up with a contribution that embodies the label's sound. Known for his intricate, warm house basslines, clever loops, and breaks, DJ Balduin delivers a three-track EP, Everything, capturing the fleeting magic when light meets dark. Out on Valentine’s Day, 14th February, the release includes the track Somar and will be available in digital and vinyl formats via Bandcamp.

The EP is all about mood and movement. In Somar, DJ Balduin plays with a mixture of rising and melancholic pads, including distant bird chatter and playful loops. A punchy beginning, the tracks mellow into moments of bliss, offering warmth throughout. The interplay of light and dark is palpable and emotive, evoking euphoria reminiscent of sunrise sets at festivals—those moments that shift the tempo and prepare us for another day of dancing.

Small Steps and DJ Balduin captures these intangible moments with its sound: the eye contact on the dancefloor, subtle smiles, and the pull of the kick drum as we sway.

Everything

PREMIERE: DJ Balduin - Somar [Small Steps]

Through overwhelming days and times of strife, an emphasis to look inwards and reflect seems appropriate. Outside stressors abound, almost at every turn it seems as the world claws at your mental stability. Italian producer, dj and more, Simone Gatto’s forthcoming Invisible Love album on his own Pregnant Void imprint marks a response to these negative forces. Giving space, soft moments of introspection and smooth melodies that all lend well to its healing nature.

Like a deep breath, The Secret of Quantum Life slowly begins. In and out, in and out. The meditative nature can’t be ignored, Simone’s background influences coming through in spades as warm tones envelop the listener, accentuated by generative warbles providing movement and spontaneity. As the track progresses, varying swirls and melodic eddies appear, like changes in the wind.

Gatto’s Invisible Love album will be released on the 7th of February.

Invisible Love

PREMIERE: Simone Gatto - The Secret Of Quantum Life [Pregnant Void]

Time flies—what started as a platform to spotlight music we love has reached an incredible milestone: our 500th premiere. Over the years, we've witnessed trends emerge, evolve, and transform into something entirely new. Within these 500 premieres, we've featured a kaleidoscope of styles and genres, but at the heart of it all, the music has always been deep, introspective, and original—an authentic reflection of the artists who create it.
We're thrilled to present Ojalá by Dutch artist Love Over Entropy for this special occasion. Taken from the long-awaited album "To Sit Quietly Where Everything Is Moving Fast," set to be released via Something Happening Somewhere, this track radiates optimism and quiet determination—qualities that feel perfectly encapsulated in its title.
Ojalá unfolds with gentle confidence, its uplifting keys and delicate arpeggiator lines moving together like a conversation that flows without effort. There's an understated elegance here—a lightness that never veers into excess. Each element breathes in unison, giving the track a natural, organic momentum.
The word ojalá, with its roots in hope and possibility, feels like a guiding principle for the music. It's as if Love Over Entropy has captured that sentiment and translated it into sound: a wish carried forward, subtle but powerful.
With this milestone premiere, we're reminded of why we started this platform: to share moments like this, where music connects us not just to each other but to something more profound.
Here's to the next 500 premieres—and to Ojalá, a track that reminds us of the beauty in looking forward.

From the depths of one of the hard disks founded in BD's studio we recovered an album with files created around 2014-2015. All these tracks were composed around the optical science theme and compiled under the optx (optics) name folder. 

Musically speaking you'll find a mix between electronica and experimental electro without the usual beats but keeping the vibe combined also with an advanced treatment of synthesis, including granular and timestretching massive programming methods and speech synthesis on voices. Sometimes the minimal sound approach reminds a THX1138 atmosphere surrounded by digital sounds and bleeps, textures of noise and drones create several places as if they were recorded in a clean and dry lab facility. 

As usual in Artificial Domain, this edition is released on CD and digital download only (Flac or uncompressed formats recommended) to enjoy all the audio spectrum, from ultra low ends to ultra high pitch frequencies which couldn't be possible on vinyl format.

Tracklist:
1. optical data
2. technik und vision	
3. optx	
4. retinal scan I	
5. emisión (only on cd version)
6. fiber optics	
7. il
