ASC – Sigma Detection
FOMO_001

Sound doesn’t seek attention.
It simply persists.
It seeps into the cracks of space.
It suspends time between beats.

The first release from FOMO_ inaugurates the _Spectral series — the exploration of rhythm,
structure and perception that redefines musical experience through immersive, high-intensity
sound.

“Sigma Detection” is a spectral sequence by ASC — a master of sonic tension mapping.
Four tracks immersed in sonic pressure:
– intense, surgically pulsating energy (*Calm Under Pressure*)
– shadows bending under their own weight (*Dark Arches*)
– layered tensions unfolding over time (*Torsion*)
– waves that absorb rather than strike (*Maelstrom*)

Music for focused listening, for sets where space between sounds matters, and for collections
seeking sound buried just beneath the surface.

About FOMO_:
FOMO_ is an artistic platform exploring the thresholds of sound, space and perception, combining
electronic music with a meticulous approach to sonic experience.
As a label, FOMO_ focuses on searching sound — crafted not for function, but for deep listening
and emotional resonance.

Each release is a singular work — an aesthetic and emotional manifesto aligned with FOMO_’s
values and its vision of music as a form of art, introspective tool, and a medium for shifting
perception, emotion, and reality itself.

Release date: 09.05.2025

ASC – Sigma Detection [FOMO_001]

We're happy to be back with our mix series. This time we have a session by Parisian artist BLNDR (Hypnus Records) with a sophisticated and meticulous selection, immersing us in an hour of deep and tribal techno, which is his specialty. Tom is a close friend of the label who made an incredible remix of MB4, one of the tracks that are part of Seph's album entitled Ulizen.

Danza Nativa Invites 027 - BLNDR

High above the stars, where the wind no longer blows and silence envelops the universe, rises a mountain of angular rock - ancient and lonely in the endless darkness. Its peaks stretch out and touch the light of past suns. It listens to the whispers of distant galaxies and the mesmerising cosmic storms that Re:Axis brings to our ears.

José Diogo Correia aka Re:Axis started his journey in sound at young age, perceiving the vibrations from acoustic and electronic instruments as a tool to create space and travel within. He has released music and toured the world since 2006. It was the year he set the love intentions to share, connect and get inspired through energy and frequencies. All the experience and maturity acquired over the past makes him a unique artist of the dance music scene, whose musical development we have been following for a long time. So we are more than delighted to have the chance to host him and his music on our imprint. 

Re:Axis provides us with a mix that skilfully combines repetitive, hypnotic patterns with mystical and cosmic atmospheres, all underlined with a special psychedelic twist. He stays true to his name and manifests a real sound mantra - a steady movement around a central axis that is constantly changing and yet remains stable. The music becomes a rotation, a trance, a journey that leads both into the inner self and into the boundless outer space.

Dynamic Spheres #027 - Re:Axis

Monochrome presents, 𝖕𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖙𝖊𝖒𝖕𝖘 𝓥 : Marie Pravda, Ankali.

This spring, Monochrome is offering each month to one or several artists to discover their influences and inspirations through a forty-five minute to two hour recording. These three recordings will focus on percussive rhythms between Ambient, Deep Techno and Drum & Bass.

Artist biography :
When Marie Pravda settles into a DJ booth she’s there to spark some chemistry with those willing to embrace it. While she is perfectly capable
of generating similar energy in her recordings for the online world, it’s the endless push & pull with the physical crowd that charges her selection and mixing. Developing into an avid digger during long shifts in gloomy basements and online, the Prague-based DJ and DIY promoter took the Czech scene by storm with her savage take on a growing range of club music – be it with selections from her trippy or dance folders.
In 2020 she joined the resident collective of Ankali & Planeta Za where she runs her regular Planeta Pravda club series. Marie has contributed episodes to numerous online radios and mix series for club or non-club outlets. She recorded mixes for Knekelhuis, hereandthere, Galactic Funk, and appeared on online broadcasts of NTS, Hör, Mutant, Kiosk, Operator and many more.
In 2021-2023 she was a member of the artist roster of Gravity Network, an international initiative for club cultureexchange in Europe and beyond.

232Lab - Nothing Part13 
Birds & Bugs [ST088 / Secuencias Temporales]

Produced by Manuel Domarchi & Matthis Domarchi aka 232Lab
Mastered by Jorge Eafhm at Secuencias Temporales Studio
Artwork by Scencist
Released by Secuencias Temporales from México City, México
Release Date: May 12th, 2025

This debut album carves out a singular path between deconstructed club music and immersive textures. 
Free from established genres, it invites the listener into a world of sound design where every element becomes material to explore.
Ambient, techno, dub, the influences are present but always filtered through a deeply personal approach.

The result of a four-handed sonic laboratory, the tracks are raw, blending chaotic textures with soothing layers. 
The whole creates a shifting space, balancing fragmented rhythms and hypnotic melodies - an invitation to inner listening, somewhere between tension and serenity.

232Lab - Nothing Part13 [Secuencias Temporales]

This week we’re in the Bay Area, where Endzeit has quietly become one of the most thoughtful techno series on the West Coast. Over the past few years, they’ve brought in artists who feel closely aligned with our extended niche community, people who approach sound with care, intention, and a sense of forward movement. We’re glad to host Torsion, the founders of the Endzeit, whose "Delayed with..."  mix captures the clarity and pressure that runs through everything they do.

Torsion doesn’t move in straight lines. Their work circles, strains, folds in on itself, always dragging tension to the surface. Formerly known as Sentient, the duo has spent years refining a sound that resists resolution. Their recent track Misgivings, released on Semantica’s Petricor compilation, lands like a pressure system, low-end submerged just enough to make your footing uncertain. There’s no payoff, no center, just a dense psychoacoustic atmosphere that holds you in place and dares you to find shape in it.

Torsion's mix for Delayed stays on-brand in the best way: tight, physical, with a kind of controlled momentum that hits first in the chest, then catches up to your head. It opens with force, big room sound, no wasted space, but somewhere around the midpoint, the gears slip. Syncopation edges in, structure blurs. It’s not a derailment, more like a detour through darker, looser terrain. By the end, the groove snaps back, but the trip has already shifted. What starts as propulsion ends in something more hypnotic. It’s techno made with discipline and intent. No spectacle, no filler, just impact.

Delayed with... Torsion

Following https://soundcloud.com/mikkel-rev's debut album on the label in 2023, ‘The Art Of Levitation’, the Norwegian artist returns with Journey Beyond, a selection of tracks demonstrating his innate ability to conjure the most atmospheric trance music, irrespective of BPM.

Journey Beyond was created from an extensive set of tracks sent to the label that were initially sequenced as two shorter EPs. With the first offering a slower 80bpm trance style, and the second EP, a classic ~130bpm trance style. However, over time, with tracks swapping in and out, ASIP had the idea to create a mixed version, progressing through the tracks and increasing bpm's, showcasing Mikkel’s ability in bridging euphoric worlds - and a style that is often reserved for Mikkel’s live performances amongst the forest raves held as part of the Ute Collective in Norway.

Classic trance and the art of a DJ mix have been influential to ASIP since the label’s inception, making this release and the process of creating it a true reflection of how Mikkel and the label come together to define the end output.

Featuring artwork by Ventral Is Golden and mastered by James Bernard.

We continue our journey into sound with the Wandering II Compilation. This compilation celebrates the 20th release in the original SS series. A journey that took close to a year to compile and prepare. The tracklist is comprised of friends and artists who share in a connection with Silent Season through their music.

The Wandering Compilation is named after the Wandering tree, a Big Leaf Maple that grows very slowly near the beach by my house. I sit under this tree to ponder and watch the ocean. It’s a favourite place to chill with music and contemplate life. It’s under this tree that the idea of compiling a series of music that embodies the Silent Season vision and sound was born. We welcome you to sit back, close you’re eyes and listen to the sounds of the Wandering II compilation.

In a world rife with chaos there is so much beauty that can be found by being in nature. The aim of the Wandering compilation is to share music that encourages people to take notice of their natural surroundings and find peace within Mother Nature. The love of nature is a common language that transcends political and social boundaries. Through music, nature gives us universal purpose.

Featuring tracks by: A.P, Yuka, DT-90, Kanthor, Aesthes, Ethernet, Hydrangea, Brother Blue, Alfredo Mazzilli, Hidden Element, Martin Schulte, Archivist, Michał Wolski, Birds of Prey, Mechanist, Slownoise, Warmth, Brando Lupi, Segue, Mr. Zu, Mon0, Tdel, Sonitus Eco, As If, ASC, Legiac, Inanitas (not in order)

In the words of Michael Mantra “No matter what happens, keep moving forward step by step. No one can stop you from making progress. Always move forward. Perseverance Furthers.”

Mastered by Anders Petersen at GS Mastering & Post.
Dedicated to Michael Mantra.

The Wandering II Compilation will available soon as a 3xCD set as well as in digital formats.

Stay tuned for more. Sign up to the Silent Season newsletter.

A Bee Mask: Headband - Peter Van Hoesen Remix
B Peter Van Hoesen: Breach

Chris Madak (aka Bee Mask) epitomizes the dissolution of distinctions between music for the mind and the body. His stunning live performance of ‘Headband’ at the 2014 Labyrinth festival left Van Hoesen dazed and enthralled. This was the origin of the remix found here, which perfectly conveys the themes of ‘Stealth’. The remix is complemented by one of Van Hoesen’s own productions, the epic ‘Breach’.

Cat. nr. T2XS301. Released on 500 vinyl copies and digital formats.

K▲NZ - Dark Places

Sander Baan & Dafoe - Reeno (Original)

English

Thug life urban areas give birth either to crime, or to art. In the case of Kaloyan Gavrailov (aka KANZ), the shady Lyulin neighbourhood of the Bulgarian capital Sofia, thankfully sparks the latter.

Kaloyan discovers music production in 2004. Captured by breakbeat, in 2007 together with Dimitar Slavkov - Dickie, creates the colourful live act duo 80s Clash. Flowing through genres such as deep and progressive house, he settles in dub techno and ambient, and embarks on his KANZ live act alias.


In 2015 he releases the emblematic "Sea of Uncertainty" trough  Stephan Panev’s KOMPONENTI Imprint. Two years later, KANZ takes off on yet another artistic adventure, resulting in the foundation of the experimental techno live act LESNIK with Kalin Baychev SuB (Porno BPM). With him he rocks the Sofia nightlife scene, performing at various events - ФАЗА, Subfactor radio show, and others.

Throughout the years, labels such as [-M-E-L-M-A-K-], Audio Avantgarde, Adultempo Specialists, KOMPONENTI, Mahorka, WTF is SWAG, Axaminer Records and Amek Collective see KANZ on their release titles. In 2021, the artist's pandemic soul finally pours into his first album “Remind Me Tomorrow” on Mahorka.

It is there where the musical direction of KANZ can be sensed best - ranging from ambient to dub techno, through IDM, generative music and psychedelic electronica. It is where one dives deep. No reminders needed.

Bulgarian

Всеизвестно е, че нелекият живот по крайните квартали ражда или престъпност, или изкуство. В случая с Калоян Гавраилов (известен още като KANZ), съмнителният столичен ж.к.Люлин за щастие го тласка към второто.

Калоян открива продуцирането на музика през 2004 г. Запленен от брейкбийта, през 2007 г. заедно с Димитър Славков - Дики, създава колоритния лайв дует 80s Clash. Преминавайки през жанрове като deeep и progressive хаус, той се "настанява" в дъб техно и ембиънтa, и се впуска в музициране под псевдонима KANZ.

През 2015 г. издава емблематичното "Sea of Uncertainty" за лейбъла на Стефан Панев - KOMPINENTI. Две години по-късно KANZ отпътува на поредното артистично приключение, което води до основаването на експерименталния техно лайв акт LESNIK с Калин Байчев SuB (Porno BPM). Двамата редовно разцъкват софийската нощна сцена, изявявайки се на различни събития - ФАЗА, радиопредаването Subfactor и др.

[-M-E-L-M-A-K-], Audio Avantgarde, Adulttempo Specialists, KOMPONENTI, Mahorka, WTF is SWAG, Axaminer Records и Amek Collective са част от лейбълите, чиито рилийзи "краси" името на KANZ. През 2021 г., пандемичната му душа най-накрая се излива в първия му албум озаглавен „Remind Me Tomorrow“, и издаден за лейбъла Mahorka.

Именно там музикалният път на KANZ може да се усети най-добре – криволичещ по ембиънт и дъб техно калдъръми, пресичащ IDM мостове, отправен към генеративната музика и психеделична електроника. Там човек се впуска дълбоко. Без необходимост от напомняне.
