Renegade Breakdown (Jessy Lanza Remix)

“Tenderness” is the first collaborative album between Japanese musician Yumi Iwaki and Brazilian Carlos Ferreira using unreleased sketches, improvisations, and samples, “Tenderness” is a mosaic of painted sounds that does not end in itself, inviting the listener to inhabit its center.

Porto Alegre based experimental guitarist Carlos Ferreira and Tokyo-based synthesizer hypnotist Yumi Iwaki are presenting "Tenderness" , their first ever collaborative album through Modern Obscure Music. Carlos and Yumi have created this powerful ambient odyssey at the distance. Despite some connections between Yumi's family roots with the Brazilian musical scene, both artists feel a strong attraction about their cultural differences, through Literature, films, scents, colors, and nature… Carlos feels “there are infinite cultural differences between Japan and Brazil, and this can be explained by historical and even geographical factors, but people come together through very strong elements that are able to transcend these differences. Diversity must also unite us.”. Yumi explains that when she met Carlos on Instagram, she was instantly captivated by “his quiet, deep and fantastic view of the world, the feelings we shared seemed to take shape naturally, but it was Carlos' great talent to complete the production...  more

Satabban - LAMPBOUND

Total runtime: 33:16

In "Lampbound”, you embark on a retro video game journey as Max, an ordinary guy who stumbles upon a mysterious genie's lamp. In an unexpected twist, Max is magically pulled into the lamp and finds himself trapped within a fantastical world. With the genie's powers at his disposal, he must navigate through a labyrinthine maze of perilous puzzles, treacherous platforms, and enigmatic creatures to escape the lamp's confines.

As Max progresses, he uncovers hidden secrets and acquires unique abilities granted by the genie. These powers enable him to manipulate the environment, such as freezing time, conjuring temporary platforms, and transforming into different forms. Careful planning and clever utilization of these newfound skills are crucial to overcoming the various challenges that lie ahead.

Throughout the game, Max encounters eccentric characters, both helpful and mischievous, who offer cryptic advice or attempt to hinder his escape.

As Max inches closer to his freedom, he unravels the genie's backstory, uncovering the truth behind his entrapment and the enigmatic origins of the lamp. Will Max triumph over the lamp's ancient magic and find his way back to reality, or will he remain trapped within its confines forever?

TRACKLIST/LEVELS:

1. Lampbound Foyer: Max begins his adventure in the grand entrance of the lamp, facing introductory puzzles and obstacles while learning the game mechanics.

2. Wishful Woods: Max ventures into a mystical forest within the lamp, navigating through dense foliage, avoiding traps, and solving nature-themed puzzles.

3. Crystal Caverns: Max explores a series of shimmering caves adorned with crystals. He must traverse slippery platforms, dodge falling stalactites, and unravel puzzles involving light reflection.

4. Clockwork Citadel: Max finds himself in a clockwork-themed fortress, where he must manipulate gears, overcome timing-based obstacles, and solve intricate clock puzzles.

5. Mirage Oasis: Max encounters an illusionary oasis filled with mirages and sand-based challenges. He must decipher the real pathways, avoid mirage traps, and cleverly utilize sand-based mechanics.

6. Haunted Halls: Max enters a spooky section of the lamp, haunted by mischievous spirits and ghostly puzzles. He must outwit the apparitions and navigate through ethereal environments.

7. Elemental Chambers: Max enters a series of elemental chambers representing different powers. He must master the elements, such as fire, water, and wind, to progress and overcome elemental puzzles.

8. Genie's Sanctum: Max reaches the heart of the lamp, a majestic chamber housing the powerful genie. He must face the ultimate test, a climactic showdown with the genie, combining all his skills and knowledge.

Twisted tendrils, organic growth, and murky jungle scenes all spring to mind while listening to the forthcoming Hypersonic Macrobiomas EP by R-010 on Obtuse Swamp. The Madrid based producer stretches his auditory muscles to showcase a wide range of moods throughout the release that build upon dynamic sound design, half time tempos and deft uses of melody to propel listeners into a whirlwind of feelings.

One of two remixers on the release (the other being a fellow Spaniard, Absis) is Berlin native, Toxido Mask. Her take on R-010’s ‘Thermoplastic Skins’ dives deeper into the abyss, as bass lines swell and stuttery percussion lines pick away - both contributing to a frenetic tension that just needs to be released.

Hypersonic Macrobiomas will be out in its entirety on the 19th of December via the Barcelona based imprint, Obtuse Swamp.

Hypersonic Macrobiomas

PREMIERE: R-010 - Thermoplastic Skins (Toxido Mask Remix) [Obtuse Swamp]

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.

A Midsummer Night´s Dream to me is filled with magic, light, love and romance <3

In this moment I stopped ego and darkness from ruling the music industry and get back to the shadows where they belong. They cannot see the light until purified.


The midsummer afterI could be with my love. The best midsummer in my life so far!

Kanthor, Mathéme -A Midsummer Night's Dream remix by Fjäder

The last track on the Prologue EP belongs to a Parisian duo who are related by blood: Atomic Moog. 

Their track “The Last Train”  is a great representation of what defines them as artists. The recording takes you on a long drive as the listener sits in the backseat and views the terrestrial beauty that is the world around them.
