Limited available high quality (140gm black 12") vinyl copy of EMERALD 018. Comes with additional stickers!

‘Stronger Than Fiction EP’ is a result of investigating sounds and information while channelling techno in an oldschool manner. Arising from sheer call and response strength and folded into a no-nonsense, momentum-feeling arrangement approach rather than considered thought. Designed to push things off the rail a bit long after sunset and far from dawn.

Live At 宀

MIX066 - Jane Fitz (倫敦) [Live at 宀] (April 2023)

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

The latest chapter in The Continuum story celebrates the power of music. I connected with So Oishi at the special place that is Bonobo in Tokyo. The opportunity to play there also came through musical connections, so the thing goes full circle. Nothing better represents the spirit behind this podcast series than the seed we planted that night and the fruits we present today. 

So Oishi has had a year! He has been on a roll with a stellar release for SoHaSo and brilliant podcasts for Sungate and Noods Radio. So having him join the Continuum family is a pleasure. 

And oh boy his mix goes places like his music has this year... from ambient, to half-time, to 4x4 with some unexpected curveballs along the way. Original and brave, fun and playful, this is a refreshing take on our beloved psychedelic and atmospheric sound. To top it off, So went into detail and used music from some of the artists he met that night at Bonobo. Again, going full circle. 

Thank you So and welcome to The Continuum.

The Continuum: So Oishi

“As the Japanese composer Nas-Kaz once said, sound is like wind — it becomes boring when humans try to control it too much. I feel the same when performing live ambient music. We have reached a time where music cannot be created by thought alone; it has to be allowed to unfold, to breathe on its own terms.”

ambient live set at Halle am Berghain - December 2024

The Bunker Podcast 235 comes from @erikluebs. This is a live set recorded in Milan on March 28 at the party Acquario.

Erik Luebs is a US-born musician and sound designer based in Japan. Eschewing typical genre tropes, Luebs approaches techno with a playfully disruptive technique, reinterpreting the fundamentals using built-from-scratch patches and labyrinthine sequencing. While the labor-intensive process is inspired by a wide range of luminaries such as Mark Fell and Rrose, the resulting music is firmly tied to the dance floor.

Luebs released an EP on The Bunker back in 2021, and has since released on DJ Nobu’s Bitta label (@djnobu_bitta), and @nousklaeraudio. He also has an upcoming release on the legendary @kompakt imprint.

Erik will be playing an ambisonic surround sound set for a horizontal audience at Going In at Reforestor’s Laboratory in Brooklyn this Friday, and an extended sunrise dancefloor set at The Bunker’s takeover of @nowadaysnyc Nonstop on Sunday morning.

CHRISTIAN SAMSARA | Ozora Festival 2025 - DJ Set

“Misty Secrets“ is a window into the playful and organic world of French but Tbilisi-based producer Ina Kacz. Across five immersive, intricately woven tracks, she cultivates a vibrant sonic garden where percussive patterns, rich organic layers, and colourful textures intertwine.
The EP opens with “Whispers”, a mysterious initiation filled with ritualistic beats and abstract voices, as if calling the listener deeper into the undergrowth. The path quickens with “Last Night’s Dream”, a driving, mysterious chase, and reaches its most physical moment in “Dive In”, where rhythmic energy commands movement. Without breaking its stride, the EP turns to a more diffused light: “Unveiled Mysteries” wraps the beat in textured swells, while “Desert” moves under a soft, hazy surface, carrying a quiet sense of pressure beneath.
Prismatic, trippy, and rich with subtle shifts, the EP moves as a single organism, breathing differently in each track.
