From @ssssofiiiii 's new EP "I want this feeling to last forever"

Stream & download: push.fm/fl/iwtftlfep

Emerging artist sofii, also known as Sophie Koella, announces her deeply personal debut EP I want this feeling to last forever, a self-produced meditation of 4 songs on emotion, memory, and the echoes of the unlived. Born from the necessity to process, the project weaves classical elegance, electronic textures, and lyrical repetition into a trance-like exploration of nostalgia: past, present and future.

Born in New Orleans to a French guitarist (who used to play with Bob Dylan) and an American mother, sofii’s life has been scored by contrasts: ballet and classic music discipline, jazz’s improvisation, and the restless energy of cities like NYC and Paris where she cut her teeth in its underground scene. After years modelling and djing, she stepped into music direction for Courrèges alongside Erwan Sene before claiming her voice as a solo producer. In 2024 she co-founded the Paris collective and event series More Hard Feelings alongside Emma DJ, Julia Lemaire, and Matière Noire inviting the likes of Skrillex, Varg2TM, Safety Trance and Bill Kouligas.

The EP’s lead single and title track is released with the album announcement with a music video. She elaborates:’Iwtftlf’ is a song about nostalgia for something we don’t yet know or have lived—also known as anemoia. It’s about a moment in time that stands perfectly still, a fraction of a second we wish would never end. This stillness, this calm before the storm, is at the heart of the track. It portrays a story suspended between the lived and the unlived, a memory that doesn’t belong to us yet aches like it’s already gone.

As for the rest of the EP, “Cry for Me” (reimagined with Greek producer Raed Raees) layers vocals like a cleansing tide, dissolving into a piano finale that nods to Sofii’s classical roots. The mantra “say it over” loops, invoking meditation’s rhythmic solace. “Remember“, penned in Paris, twists a crisis-born text message into pulsing synths and the EP’s only percussive heartbeat. And “Pocket Dial” samples a 3-minute voicemail from sofii’s grandmother—an accidental, aching relic of connection—set to wordless strings and synth.

If you listen to the breeze long enough, a song will emerge.
The air hangs on the cusp of rapture.
It will have you foraging in existential void, identity-gardening for a better future...
realworlding.

––––

Hiding in relative obscurity, Music For Your Plants – the sonic environment tended by Tallinn's Norman Orro – originated in late 2000s as a library-music-obsessed prog-rock collective in the dusty attics of the Estonian Academy of Arts. The project has since shed its initial kraut-informed sprawl, evolving through junglist, breakbeat hyperstitions toward a sort of post-anthropocene chamber music: densely layered, rhythmically unstable, and emotionally euphoric.

MFYP maintains a fascination with nonhuman perspectives and systems,
expressing this through forgotten esoteric plugins or operating 90’s hardware with the casual precision of someone peeling particularly stubborn fruit. Despite surface affinities with ambient or post-club sonics, Orro’s output eschews the genre’s more pristine tendencies. MFYP’s productions are texturally grainy, often abrasive in detail – the residue, perhaps, of early-digital workflows and a background in tape-saturated, longform rock improvisation.

Where Hassell sought hybrid utopias, MFYP’s trajectory leads deeper into what Orro has referred to as “Fifth World sonics,” creating a deliberate babel of "world musics" – sometimes deploying reflective detachment, elsewhere earnestly attempting to reconfigure music for an age where the concept of "world" is in crisis. This approach, crystallised on the 2013 Humanity EP, helped cohere the “eco grime” microgenre through holographic, deconstructed folktronics and mutations of UK bass DNA.

On Aeolian Software, we find bit-crushed fretwork and pop-leaning structures, if only briefly gasping for air. MFYP’s current phase appears concerned with breath and density, melodic cells surfacing through mist before dissolving again – as if uncertain whether to take root or vanish.
New Age textures creep in sideways, only to be clipped by loose 2-step scaffolding, while vocal trance fragments pockmark the air like overheard dreams. Somewhere between the PS2 boot sequence and a pan-global spiritual, it's panglossia for the post-everything listener.

Premiere : music lovers anonymous @emellay - I Can Feel You Through the Screen [katharsis] @katharsislabel

“Emellay” is the second EP released by Upstate NY-based artist music lovers anonymous (MLA). The project can be seen as a sort of sequel to his first EP, “Wherever Chance Leads Me, I Will Go As A Friend,” released on formforum earlier this year. There are familiar sounds: humble field recordings, string-like textures, with an increased emphasis on controlled discord. Samples from important periods in his life are re-contextualized into something individualized: an interpretive dance between the weight of life and the bliss of insignificance. A pseudo-self titled project, “Emellay” functions as an unfinished self-portrait. Or maybe rather, a blind contour. These tracks were created without an end—with closed eyes—like a story being told as it is written...a story taking place in a bedroom, at a laptop, with a MIDI controller. It is an ode to an undeveloped identity, leaving melodic artifacts in its wake.

This is music for headphones.

Destructive Examination Pt.1

jjjacob - Ancient Mana Crypt (Basura Remix)

Eaposting 4 deals about the hyperconnection and globalization: "We live in a more and more globalized and connected world that is progressively incorporating arts and cultures from different countries and different scenes. This hyperconnection brings many advantages, and one of these is unquestionably the unprecedented simplicity with which art can be shared and can cross geographical borders. On the other hand, it’s getting easier to lose trace of smaller realities with the risk of disregarding their value. The aim of the compilation is to give producers the chance of expressing the culture of their own country, or a country that they feel connected to, reinterpreting it under a modern light and their own musical style in order to highlight different local realities.”

The concept was portrayed in this amazing artwork by Marnie Hamilton from New Scenery featuring some old personal photographs seen through a modern viewfinder, enhancing the contrast between culture, tradition and history and modern society, and how the past can be reinterpreted in new unseen ways.

Emotional material manifests itself in many different forms. Sometimes it flows like a river, rolls like a wave or pours like rain. The fluidity of emotional experience makes sense as our bodies are mostly made up of water – life's matter and matrix, mother and medium.

It is time to let go of your fear and doubts. You must learn to embrace the darkness of your soul, for it is a light beacon of hope for humanity. Your soul wants to show itself in its truest form, strength, perseverance, courage and determination of spirit. In this lifetime your soul needs to cleanse and open its feelings for katharsis. This current physical lifetime offers you a new leaf, to be able to learn to balance obsolete, distorted behaviors.

lyrics:
Free me clean me
Rinse my soul
Wash my body
Bring me to my poignant cleansing
Free me clean me
Free me clean me
My soul is damaged 
Can you heal my wounds

Free me from my self 
Free me from my pain
Free me from my darkest thoughts
My purest emotions are the best
Poignant cleansing
