Jiho is a Korean artist based in Tokyo, Japan, who has been active in the underground music scene for many years.

Guided by his philosophy of crafting durable sounds with dynamic textures, Jiho launched 'Subhills' in 2018, a record label focused on defining the limits of groove and rhythm.

Rather than drawing from abstract inspiration, his craftsmanship is rooted in practicality, moderation, and precision. This unique approach gives rise to Jiho's rhythmic and crisp compositions, which prioritize quality, texture, and resolution over narrative. By combining analog synthesizers with digital elements, Jiho creates distinctive and diverse rhythms and sounds. His pursuit of speed and minimalism results in dynamic, immersive atmospheres.

Over the years, Jiho has shared the stage with renowned techno artists from various nations, continuously refining his music production approach. He has also released numerous tracks on prestigious techno labels worldwide, further solidifying his influence and reputation within the global underground music scene.

Jiho values a straightforward and minimalist mixing style over flashy techniques. He layers elements from multiple tracks to create new sounds, allowing the audience to experience a unique sense of immersion through his grooves and rhythms.

Oscar Mulero
Part of a physical creation EP
PoleGroup 079

Digital
01 – The body
02 – Like a black rainbow
03 – Golden dome
04 – Sacred place
05- A subtle physical sphere


Oscar Mulero returns to homebase with this intense four tracker that means a return to direct dancefloor weapons after the scifi and mental approach of his late works. Although being intense and direct, these exercises keep the abstraction and intelligence that techno is supposed to have since its inception. 

The body is the perfect example of this physical but complex approach, direct and gymnastic pieces combine in a constantly moving and evolving arrangement, full of twists and subtle changes but preserving the groove in every second.

Like a black rainbow uses a drilling bleep to perforate your inner ear while 909 shuffled hats provide the pulse required to move ahead. The bleepy thing evolves in frequency and the groove goes busier as time goes by, resulting in a mind bending experience.

On the flip side, Golden dome uses asymmetrical sequences as the main course, helped with micro drones to improve the otherworldly feel, as usual, the elements come back and forth wisely administered to provide the required danceable energy.

Closing the record things change drastically in Sacred place introducing unusual cadences on the rhythm and sequences, a futuristic march of robots maybe a nice image to confront with the sounds. Not everybody is capable of working with such a groove. Definitely the highlight of this collection.

As a bonus track for the digital edition, A subtle physical sphere, a galactic sound adventure , profound and abstract, a sound voyage into the realms of unconsciousness.

BIO:
Ferdinando Apicella, known as Singular Anomalies, is an artist from Naples. His first encounter with Techno music came through a cassette by Derrick May, an experience that sparked a deep and immediate passion for Detroit Techno. From that moment on, he began a journey of sonic exploration, diving into his first vinyl records and immersing himself in the catalogues of iconic labels such as Metroplex, Underground Resistance, Transmat, Axis, and M-Plant, while following the artistic evolution of key figures like Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Kenny Larkin, and Mike Banks.

After a period dedicated to studying Jazz an experience that further enriched his musical background. Singular Anomalies returned to his Techno roots, determined to seriously pursue electronic music production. This path led him to formal training, culminating in a diploma as a Sound Engineer and Sound Designer.

Today, Singular Anomalies blends historical influences with contemporary research, crafting a personal sonic language shaped by years of study, experimentation, and dedication to Techno culture.
