Lyon-based wizard @warzouk is about to drop his new album in Compact Disc format, on his own label @bigscience. "A tribute to rave compilations, sound systems and social committees" as the artist explains himself. We unveil the big-bass track "After Pardi!" as part of our premiere series.

Pre-order

Premiere: Warzou — After Pardi!

Soreab - Sensitivity 6.0 

March 24, 2023 -  12" Vinyl, Digital & Streaming

Soreab debuts on Avian.
Dario Picchi, whose repertoire includes forays into Dancehall, Bass Music and genres less easily classified, alongside a spate of intriguing collaborations, keeps things sparse on Sensitivity 6.0. The six track EP offers up idiosyncratic takes on IDM, Techno and Ambient music with a focus on intricate sound design, showcasing the Baroque Sunburst label head’s admirable versatility as a producer.
Brazen opener Squirrel Stampede might surprise listeners expecting a more delicate approach from the EP title. Neatly layered and economic in its execution, it’s a forceful slice of modern Techno. Meditative follow up Trub marries a thick, undulating percussion line with a saccharine melody. Loose synths emerge sporadically from the sonic periphery, breaking up the rolling drum pattern to create a cinematic atmosphere. Closing out the A side is Giale Draws, an intriguing beatless piece with nods to both vintage Musique concrète and more contemporary compositions from the electronic music leftfield.
On the B side, Soreab ups the tempo and goes fathoms deep with the cavernous Dust Eater. Landing somewhere between Autonomic Drum & Bass and Dub Techno, it sets the tone for the dense, atmospheric march of Insomnias that follows. Letting well-worked drums lead the recording, Picchi introduces Rhodes and a low-sunk synth flourish to create a crisp, hazy atmosphere. Rite closes the EP, a glistening Ambient recording with subtle percussive motifs and delayed vocals that sit atop hypnotic pads – a wide-open, ethereal closing statement.

Carrier - In Spectra
Cat # CRRR002
Label : Carrier

Carrier’s experiments in rhythmic pressure continue with In Spectra, the second offering on his eponymous imprint following releases for FELT and The Trilogy Tapes. A triad of kinetic reductions from an unrivalled practitioner in angular minimalism.

In Spectra finds Guy Brewer magnifying the approach taken on Neither Curve Nor Edge, unthreading the micro-structures within to strip bare his process of reverse-engineered dance forms. His hyper-focus continues on sound and texture, but meshed tighter in tense atmospherics with fascinating results.

Coastal circles the lurch with steady poise, rallying with its faint hardcore momentum and muted dub reverberations. Wood Over Plastic scatters its disassembled rhythmic remains across warped zones of surreality, before closer Locus furrows inside a repurposed stepper amidst sharpened percussion and a creeping sub. Further proof of Carrier’s unique vision, In Spectra is a vital development along his open-ended sonic journey.

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Smogo - Sauvage [ES034]

With this second EP ever released and his second offering to the Electric Shapes' catalogue, Smogo dove deeper into the areas of the subconscient. With a blend of hard rhythms and dangerous sound designs, gathering both his love for Science-Fiction and organic textures, this new EP reflects more than anything his attraction towards ultramodern mental music, well reflecting the ongoing european enthusiasm for fast paced techno, buzzing soundscapes, ethereal harshnes, citing A Strange Wedding, Raär, Solma, Trois-Quarts Taxi System or Sole Massif as his source of influence. Calling this wave as "psytech", it conjures on the dancefloor a bestial spirit made for dance, self-abandon, communion with the others.

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Smogo - Sauvage [ES034]

Glad to share our first release of the year, produced by Andrei Rusu and including a remix from Beatrice M. The Romanian and Berlin-based artist has been deeply involved in electronic music production, DJ-ing, and live performance as part of the duo Khidja. We discovered his music through his first solo EP, "I’ve Lost Control", released in 2024 on Berlin based label Malka Tuti, followed by the album "Met Him On A Wednesday", released under his alias Ed Rain and marked by its introspective tone and experimental approach. His weird electro sound is influenced by post punk, DIY and wave. Rusu’s music is organic, exploratory and unconventional.

Andrei: « This is my most cathartic to date, it’s quite haunting and feels a bit like screaming into a pillow. I imagine it as the perfect soundtrack to banging your head against a table. »

A key element throughout the EP’s sound and lively feeling is the use of Andrei’s favorite machines such as the Mort’s Barge module, the Microtonic or the Syncussion. He creates captivating soundscapes and deep evolutive atmospheres that inspired Beatrice M. to deliver a slow bassy belter that compliments this release perfectly.

Left My Head (Beatrice M. Remix)

Trois-Quarts Taxi System - Fraction

Priori’s hit EP Pareidolia gets a well deserved remix treatment. The relation between Priori and Midgar started early 2023 with the release of his Pareidolia EP, where a remix for Keplrr followed quickly the year after. Now, early 2025, a group of close friends and admired artists were invited to rework the Pareidolia’s originals.

We're anticipating the release of the full EP with sound experimentalist Notte Infinita, who takes his turn on Pareidolia’s title track and creates some magnificent eyes-closed drum & bass hypnotism.
