𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Maquis Son Sistèm - Rizosfèra [SNVA001]

The Natron mirror of water, at the heart of many myths and tales, populates the imagination with its enigmatic deep red color and its placid and dark surface, guardian of secrets, seemingly quiet.
From its shores, majestic mountains can be glimpsed towering against the sky.
Its supernatural appearance that not even the most solid scientific reasoning can drive away: an expanse of water resembling rust streaked with white that pervades the Ngorongoro crater.
A peculiar color gradation resulted from the accumulation of sodium, very high temperatures and alkaline springs, which trigger a calcification process that no body or species can escape.
Once permeated, it remains there forever and becomes part of it: liquid and solid, fleeting and permanent, ethereal and evanescent.

"Natron VA001" is the Stagno Records’ genesis: an immersive voyage through this crimson expanse. It is a powerful, commanding force, like a tempestuous storm, yet also delicate and otherworldly. 
Six incandescent tracks from a meticulous selection of talented producers around.
Maquis Son Sistèm, K.o.p.32, Marmo, Atoloi, Plants Army Revolver, and CP1: in this impalpable journey they push the boundaries of uptempo and half-beat, with their pulsating basses echoing the raw energy of the crimson landscape. Fearless and immersive, these soundscapes are infused with techno overtones, transporting us into a world of sci-fi and aprioristic scenarios

Kontinum - Lakitu (KNTM004)

For its 3rd compilation, Blue Night Jungle dives deeper into the french mental music scene. Enhancing the underground metamorphosis of a new way of conjuring trance within electronic musics, it welcomes a batch of new artists (Beatrice M., RAVL, Vanda Forte, Paul Rêve, Tampo, Orchid, NOGE, Kick21, Solma, Khey Mysterio, Cléo II) but also spare room for known figures of the label (Smogo, Drawbridge, Trois-Quarts Taxi System or Boskøw). Going from deep tribe adventures to dark DnB paths, jungle and trance experiments, it gathers this whole new "mental" scene of french parties for a long journey through the depths of unknown jungles.

Release Name: Stagno Records VA02 - Waitomo
Premiere Release: Not Mass - Weirperc 
Release date: 26 April 2024 

About Waitomo VA:

"A powerful glow paralyses time in the night. The hypnotic lights and the darkness of the ravine draw together silence and noise, the harmonic vibrations of a-formed bodies.
It's a different light, travelling cautiously and heavily, enough to pierce boundaries. It can permeate and engulf anything, its bioluminescence is magical and part of its amorphous system. 
It's both astral and all too earthly. All around, sparkling threads weave the world's most intricate mesh: those who only travel in a straight line will be able to dodge the stars, but not this. It will be absorbed and be light."

Premiere: Not Mass - Weirperc

A fierce introduction to the world of Oomycota, Confluence is the debut long form release presented by Naarm based bluhol (aka Loïcc).

Building upon bluhol’s debut liveset performed at Minutiae Festival, held on Wiradjuri Land in NSW during the new year cycle 23. Confluence represents a conscious shift in the Australian electronica soundscape, drawing deep inspiration from the vast bush land lining the eastern coast and paying homage to the unique nature and phenomenons that exist there.

bluhol, previously producing under Loïcc, is a sound artist based in Naarm, who’s roots are firmly planted in the Northern Tablelands of NSW. They intricately weave together the organic and synthetic, exploring the juxtaposition of nature’s fluidity with the structured rigidity of urban landscapes. With a keen focus on technical sound design and modular synthesis, bluhol crafts immersive auditory experiences that transport listeners into realms both melancholic and unsettling. Their compositions serve as a medium for contemplation, inviting audiences to reflect on the interplay between their past and future selves.

Oomycota operates on unceded Gadigal land. Confluence was written and produced in Naarm. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of these lands and extend that acknowledgement to the Anaiwan people, the custodians of the lands where bluhol originates and draws inspiration from.

We recognise the immense privilege in being able to create on these lands, and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.

1. Aporia
2. Coercion
3. Shadow
4. Casual Madness

BC : https://monochromerecords.bandcamp.com/album/ways

Artist's words : " "Ways" is a four-track EP oscillating between 160 and 170 bpm that delves into the complexities of life's paths. Starting with "Aporia," which explores the struggle against life's obstacles through warm tones and a focused drop, the EP then transitions to "Coercion" with its synthetic urgency, reflecting external pressures. "Shadow" reveals the darker sides of our psyche, leading to "Casual Madness," a track that confronts the madness within us and the societal norms that sustain it. Together, these tracks invite listeners to contemplate the hidden forces that shape our journeys."

BUY: https://decadanceamsterdam.bandcamp.com/album/rizoma-granulare

Rizoma Granulare embodies the symbiotic relationship between electronic music and the intricate horizontal growth of rhizomes, resulting in a release that finds its roots in a subterranean sound realm, where granular textures and hypnotic rhythms intertwine through an intricate musical ecosystem. Listeners are invited to experience the interplay of stretched grain resolutions and primal bass syncopations pulsing from the depths of each artist's introspection. Flourishing organically, the music branches out in unpredictable directions.

KR3.017

Orphx makes a striking comeback with a six-track EP on KR3, celebrating Rich & Christie’s three-decade career bridging the industrial music and techno scenes. 

Theikos EP - spans multiple eras and moods, merging raw, ancient production methods with modern interpretations. The result is a sonic landscape that bridges pulsing club rhythms with the intense energy of extreme electronics and death industrial. The title track, "Theikos," began in 1998 and was only finalized in 2024, years of evolution shaping it into a truly formidable piece.

This 12" release stands out as a deep and fully realized body of work, filled with personal insight and resonant echoes of a primordial world.

The standard edition comes in a sleek single-pocket gatefold sleeve, featuring a 1997 photograph taken in Toronto by Michael Nine, capturing the duo in their early years and visually anchoring the album to the roots of their sound. Limited and special editions include an exclusive booklet with archival photos of Orphx and a poster, along with a promotional videos featuring remastered and reimagined archival footage created especially for this release.
