June felt like living inside a pressure cooker: heat steaming the pavement, skies breaking open in floods, and a world that keeps tripping over its own shoelaces. But music, as ever, remains the lifeboat.

When your brain’s frayed like old cassette tape, Katatonic Silentio on Fleur Savage offers ambient rescue missions, and Purelink on Peak Oil floats in like a cool breeze through blackout curtains. Secret getii’s xochicuicatl beams in cryptic transmissions perfect for solitary nights.

For sharper daylight hours, Aspetuck’s Oslated release maps out subterranean passageways, while Cosmin TRG and DYL’s Romanian link-up draws blueprints for thinking techno. Shaw Cuts marks a decade with cuts that gnash and groove, and Raär’s new album on Omen Wapta proves rhythm still has plenty of riddles left.

Meanwhile, Dino Sabatini & Maurizio Cascella, Toki Fuko, and Rene Wise remind us that sometimes salvation is as simple as bass rolling through a dark room.

OW11 Raär - Incentive

The air shifts. Drawn from a live composition and distilled into eleven personal mantras, Raär's Incentive unfolds as a long-player sonic rite, tracing a path through a wind chamber. A narrative pulled into motion by a propulsive undercurrent.

The eleventh opus in Omen Wapta's lineage begins with flickers at the edge of vision. No clear path, just shapes that rise and vanish in the periphery. The air carries tension. Low hums lean into pressure. The ground rolls forward.

Trees bend inward. A summons breathes from below, hovering between clarity and wandering dust. The pace fractures. A space opens. Long enough to feel it pass: a shadow, a pulse, a question. Something inside has turned.

The chase tightens. Each element presses against the next. Inside the rhythm. Inside the self. Overtones shiver. The wind doesn't stop. It carries what remains. Sound, now memory. Movement, now shadow. Incentive carves deeper into Raär's terrain. Untethered, inward, and elemental. He sculpts in weight and pressure, low-end as bedrock. FX opens the ground between weight and light. Tape compression binds the vessel. Beneath, a drone exhales. Charged with trace.

Every track, a step. Each pause, a turn. Guided to feel, not to grasp.

OW11 Raär - Incentive [preview]

secret getii’s xochicuicatl , Out June 4, 2025 via Appendix.files
[@powerdynamics]

Tracklist:
01. half revolution, no revolution – 05:00
02. no brainer  – 05:00
03. i think i’m a drug dealer now – 05:00
04. the longest party – 05:00
05. everyone is a supermodel – 10:00

New York City / Berlin — Appendix.files presents xochicuicatl, a 5-track collection of raw ambient excavations and subversive emotional fragments from secret getii. Recorded in NYC in the spring of 2023, the EP wanders through dream-smeared cityscapes and back again, channeling the hazy comedown of overstimulation into abstract, cathartic form.

This is ambient not as background, but aftermath — think LSD flashbacks in a graffiti-soaked alley, suddenly grounded by the warmth of a friend’s couch and a slow-burning existential clarity. xochicuicatl operates somewhere between the debris of club culture and the softness of shared space. Each track teeters between euphoria and melancholia, thick with distortion, delay, and heart. 

Across its 30-minute runtime, secret getii shapes textures that hum with emotional interference:
rough-edged tones that distort as they soothe, melodic loops that spiral inward, voices half-buried beneath noise and reverb. The titles alone—half revolution, no revolution, i think i’m a drug dealer now, everyone is a supermodel—read like private transmissions, at once ironic, sincere, and a little unhinged.

Dedicated to Noel Flores, Lazaro Rodriguez, and Robert “Ready Freddy” Jennings, xochicuicatl is both personal document and shared code—intimate, unresolved, and entirely its own.

Premiere: Katatonic Silentio [FS001]

Rene Wise returns to Dustin Zahn’s Enemy Records with a massive follow up to 2022’s label debut, Jungle House. On “Deprivation,” the Moving Pressure artist delivers 4 undeniable, heads-down Techno grooves in his signature style.

Minimalism is the theme on the A-side. Anxiety and Insomnia are both stripped down and tripped out. Both hold steady in arrangement, allowing for the smallest details to shine through. Each track is topped off with Rene’s otherworldly synth washes and FX splashes atop of steady unwavering grooves.

A slight departure from his usual grooves, the B-side drifts off into uncharted territory while keeping in line with the moodiness of the A side. Sakar focuses on a pulsating tension-building synth line in constant flux. Meanwhile, staccato basslines and percussive splashes merge to form the record’s funkiest moment on Cutting Thick.

"Deprivation" is available June 20th, on Dustin Zahn's 'Enemy Records.'

Track List:
A1) Anxiety
A2) Insomnia
B1) Sakar
B2) Cutting Thick

Infotext:
It all began with “Have Sword, Will Travel“, an EP that started the „armed“ journey with its many different ups and downs. But the label is still here and celebrates its 10th anniversary today. Besides being pretty emotional about the fact that this journey is still continuing after so many years, I’m also looking back at an intense period of time full of doubts, disappointments and mistakes. Especially social media leads us to believe that every life is so exciting, spectacular and unique and that you are doing something wrong compared to all of this glamorous self-promotion. If you really start comparing to these blissful images, things feel miserable very fast. But instead, the healthiest things are to just be yourself, to follow your vision no matter how slow and complicated things evolve and to avoid doing things that feel wrong and factitious. And because of that, everything is right where it should be for Shaw Cuts and it’s still so much fun and exciting to run this project. I’m trying my best to keep things going and to keep things fresh & exciting - hopefully for another decade.
Thank you all for the genuine appreciation and support of all the music that got released over the past 10 years, for having an open mind for all the different projects and for helping the label to grow and develop a certain brand recognition and identity. Without you none of that would have been possible. Have Sword, Will Travel.
