I was going in a different direction with this until a friend guided me down the right path :) I really like how it turned out, and I have never made a tune that took that long to render out :) I hope you like it :)

"London based label Natural Selection present their forthcoming release in the form of a 4-track 12" EP, courtesy of Swarm Intelligence, entitled "Radiance". Radiance is an impeccably crafted experimental Techno EP, which redefines genre parameters.

Born in Dublin and now firmly based in Berlin, Simon Hayes aka Swarm Intelligence has cemented his place in the Techno underground with critically acclaimed LPs and EPs on labels such as 47, Instruments of Discipline and Voitax. He returns to Natural Selection, after releasing his track "Generative" on the label's latest VA release; "Natural Selection: Selected Works Vol. 1" in 2024. Featuring amongst an extensive list of heavyweight label affiliates such as SHXCXCHCXSH, Charlton, ASEC, Nørbak, MAEDON, Annie Hall & more. After further connections with the label via live performances at their regular label nights at FOLD London, it was inevitable that Simon would be invited to release a solo EP on their imprint.

His distinctive sound comes from over a decade of releases spanning multiple genres and tempos and oscillates between rhythmic noise, tense atmospherics, uncompromising levels of distortion, and stark, astute beats. This resolutely non-conformist approach to his productions has earned him a reputation as a true trailblazer in the realm of Techno and has led him to perform at some of the world's finest institutions including Berghain, Tresor and Basement NY.

For "Radiance", Swarm intelligence delves further into the sonic unknown, presenting a bold evolution in his uncompromising vision of Techno. Deep, fragmented textures form the backdrop for thunderous, distorted rhythms and IDM-laden drums and percussion, fused with meticulously designed cinematic soundscapes and powerful low-end muscle. Fierce, unrelenting, and deeply conceptual, all rules and boundaries are smashed to pieces and all tracks are equally suitable for blasting through the world's biggest club systems and rigs as they are for home listening."

Swarm Intelligence - Radiance EP [Previews]

rhubiqs - Infinite Dusk 
Spectral Passage [Affin CD13 / Affin]

Produced by Tom Squires aka rhubiqs
Mastered by Taylor Deupree at 12k Mastering
Design by Markus Guentner
Released by Affin from Germany
Release Date: November 07th, 2025
Format - CD and Digital

With Spectral Passage, rhubiqs delivers a deeply immersive concept album that traces a psychological journey from turmoil to clarity. Inspired by artists like Tim Hecker, Fennesz, Sarah Davachi and William Basinski, the record layers guitars, synths, pianos, samples, field recordings, strings and brass into shifting soundscapes that mirror the mind’s passage through anxiety, trauma and renewal.

Opening with dense, disorienting textures (Infinite Dusk, Endless Nights), the album gradually evolves toward light and release. A turning point comes with Alone & Adrift Pt. I and Pt. II, where shadow gives way to brightness and resilience. The closing track, A Final Transmission, offers a gentle resolution, leaving the listener in a place of hard-won peace.

More than a collection of songs, Spectral Passage is an emotional narrative in sound - a transformative listening experience.

Doing some dub techno. It just gives me good vibes. I hope it can give you the same.

October Dub

Six70’s tracks are full of texture you can feel — dusty layers, deep reverb tails, submerged chords, warped delay lines. It feels like he’s painting with sound. Even minimal elements have depth. It’s not just sound design — it’s storytelling through space.
