PREMIERE: Ice_eyes x Sueuga - Superficie (Ziúr Remix) (Arboretum Records)

“If we blackened out the sky we can turn it to light 
I wanna find you in the rhythm 
I wanna gift you the night 
I'm trynna pull up on your fears and disappear them from sight 

…we come alive in the basement, we come alive...” 

written and spoken by Moonflower (Vernon Jordan III) 

After releasing an EP, "Angeltribe" on London label TT in 2020, and "Vorphic Skin" on Toothgrinder Press in 2023, Kat Nzingha's debut album "Grind" will be released on AngeltribeXTL in May of 2023. Based in Philadelphia, Kat Nzingha is a multidisciplinary artist that explores experimentations with abstruse textures. By combining their sculptural works with heavy low-end frequencies and celebratory tones they create blissfully cryptic sonic materials that are the extended bodies of modified objects of which they consistently fabricate. "Grind" conjures the spirit of the sculptural entity that is physically attached to Nzingha's body as seen on the album art. The sculpted spirit is manifested through the sonic form of convulsing kicks, metallic percussion, and hyper-processed textures. 

"It's finally time to release "Grind" after sitting on the album for two years. The end of 2020 was when I started to build...  more

For our 60th release, we are very excited to present ‘Ison’, a new album by ABADIR.

Growing up in Heliopolis, Cairo, I used to visit different churches with my parents for Sunday mass and on Christian holidays. Fascinated with the choir and chants by various sects, I absorbed all these different sounds into one hybrid memory, which was the main inspiration for ‘Ison’. Using segments and field recordings from Coptic, Syriac, Maronite, Greek Orthodox and Catholic choirs, I present my own vision of what can be described as fresh hymns, fictional chants, or parts of a contemporary Sunday mass.

This is not representational. This is not a cultural relic for the exoticizing gaze. This is purely personal; a fictional sound rooted in the present.

While ‘Ison’ is clearly different from my last album, ‘Mutate’, it follows the same approach of revisiting cultural surroundings for potential mutation. If Mutate’s clubby vibe was made “to make the floor burn”, Ison is intended to cure last night’s hangover.

Listen to "Ziplock Weaponry" by NIQH taken from "Familiar Rift" out digitally and on limited compact disc via Plasma Sources on 29th September

Bandcamp: https://plasmasources.bandcamp.com/album/familiar-rift

Following on from J-Shadow and Hypna’s A2I, Plasma Sources offers up Familiar Rift, the debut EP from NIQH (pronounced ‘NEE-KEEH’). Weaving together grains of garage, ambient and club, the release places a heavy emphasis on sound design like its predecessor to create an immersive world-building experience. 

The EP is a sharp juxtaposition to the label debut - where A2I was dark and heavy, Familiar Rift feels light and skittering. What links these two releases together is an emphasis on sci-fi, world building and high-fideilty, laser sharp sonics. Through these shared aesthetics, Plasma Sources intends to fully cement itself as an imprint which will not simply be tied to one sound or genre. 

NIQH’s process is determined by chaotic serendipity - Familiar Rift was fashioned into shape from a colliding together of captured sounds and experiences, before being assembled into new, mutated forms. Heavily inspired by the work of Moebius and the visual style present in Aeon Flux and many 80s/90s anime, the body of work here represents a dynamic, ever-shifting environment of sonic contortion. 

Despite the chaos at play, the release still feels focused to NIQH. “I finally feel like I’ve got to a point with my music making where ideas feel aligned, concentrated, focused, in a way they didn’t before. Each of the tracks here fuses the chaotic serendipity I love with the notion of keeping the core musical ideas and patterns simple. I’m trying to marry these two pretty disparate notions into a concentrated, highly detailed style of music-making which feels more like a flowing environment than a series of musical actions.”

[Premiere] NIQH - Ziplock Weaponry (Plasma Sources)

Taken from SBKT061: 33EMYBW - Holes of Sinian
Release date: 8th November 2023

Photography: Hqeivy
Design: Luke Griffiths
Mastering: Raphael Valensi


‘Holes of Sinian’ is the fourth studio album from Shanghai based artist 33EMYBW, and features collaborations with Marina Herlop, Batu, Forrest Gander and oxi peng.


‘Time is a porous Sinian stone.

The mystery of the Sinian stone lies in the "holes" rather than the "stones" - these holes constitute the beauty of the Sinian stone, forming overlapping gaps and penetrating scenes, and also constructing the existence of the Sinian stone itself . The mysteries and contingencies of life are like holes in stone, densely covered in time, leaving fractal paths and jumping clues in the evolution history of the earth. Ghosts of the oldest Ediacaran biota wander among them - "Evolution Failed!" But instead of dying, they drift from rocky crevices into another dimension, from hole to hole, haunting them in nonlinear time, replanning another arrival.’

PROTO NEXUS explore industrial dancehall and jungle through the vision of MOOKI6 (@mooquidi-alcaline) and B4MBA (@b4mba), this EP born in a travel through Kenya, established a deep connexion with riddimz

- POCKET CALL - is a darkness riddim focus on hard grooves, sharping snare, and heavy bass, a wild wine into a warm sound system, junglist breaks that enhance your night and connect your body and mind to ground them and make them levitate at the same time 
- JABA - While travelling across Kenya waiting for a compact aircraft to take us to the coastline, the bustling urban sounds of Nairobi and the intriguing outcomes of processing the plant used in their beloved drink, known as "Jaba," served as our creative wellsprings.
during this time we created this fusion dancehall anthem named JABA
This sound piece exudes warmth and boasts a meticulously honed sound arrangement that masterfully encapsulates the very ambiance that enveloped us at that time

- ANKHNOWLEDGE - is a frenetic archeological research in a Sub Saharan desert, finding artefact within sabar and breaks, sandstorm is announced  by strings and vocals, slow too fast, it puts you in a transe as snake charmer in a spaceship

Hace unos meses hicimos este mix narrativo para la exposición de Samara Scott titulada 'Doldrums' en el museo CAPC(Museo de arte contemporáneo de Bordeaux).

'Bita Sugar se desplaza entre sonidos del Caribe, Las Américas y África. Seguimos corrientes en el comercio colonial y antiguas 'rutas' culturales que conectan azúcar, cañas, ron, esclavos, máquinas, cargas, preservación, cuerpos negros y espiritualidades. Los sonidos se entrecortan, se distorsionan y se fusionan para contar una historia sobre los mares negros de supervivencia, los espíritus cantantes y los ritmos que crean melodías y recuerdos '.

Gracias a Cory John Scozzari por la invitación.
