Ophélie, a French Berlin DJ and radio host for Refuge Worldwide, introduces their inaugural release on Hundert Records titled "Pipa Pipa". Drawing inspiration from the early days of Jungle and Drum and Bass labels like Moving Shadows, Ophélie offers their unique interpretation of the atmospheric aspect of this genre. By blending deep, soothing chords with a timeless drum arrangement, they craft an auditory journey that transcends the dance-floor.

PREMIERE : Ophélie - Pipa Pipa

‘Metal Form Suite’ is a culmination of the sounds that inspire the label in its endeavour to create scaled events with underground and DIY tendencies. Through this compilation and curation, General Merchant is showcasing the range of sounds that you may expect to hear at one of their warehouse parties.

General Merchant acknowledges that it operates on stolen land, belonging to the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora Nation, and we pay our respects to Aboriginal elders past, present and emerging.

PREMIERE⚡️Circular Square - B-LL0XE (Chewlie Remix) [10.60 Hz]

We are very happy to announce that the first EP “The Other Side” by our friend from Le Midi, Souzo, is now officially out!

Five beautiful originals full of attractive deepness, comforting analogue warmth, and seductive tones for the explorers of the mind.

The drexciyan grooves of ‘A175-4 Levit8’ and the pressure-inducing ‘Don’s Eternal Drift’ set the release’s mood and show Souzo’s delicate taste for sharp, icy transients and round, mellow subs. We just stepped through the gate. Following up is ‘Haze Modulator’, one of those tools you feel like never fading out with a perfect balance between cycles of coercive dancefloor energy and drop-out momentum.

‘Octotiger’ and ‘Overloaded Bucket’ open new corridors and make up the last chapter of the EP where Souzo showcases its interpretation of the drum & bass plus techno cross-bred genre, where rolling hi-hat loops and stomping syncopated kicks provide an anchor to his signature, ethereals and sustained textures.

The release is available for support on Bandcamp and streaming on Soundcloud and any usual platform.

Label co-founder Tal Fineman launches new alias @faulteruk with Obstinacy, a 4-track EP that showcases the cutting edge of contemporary club sounds.

Spanning a broad spectrum of energy, Obstinacy balances heads-down groove with a meticulous, measured approach to songwriting.

A record of two halves, the EP opens with two peak-time bombs designed to ignite warehouse dancefloors worldwide. First up is the unrelenting techno weapon ‘Perspectives’ (file in your wormhole playlist) followed by a slamming, in-your-face electro wobbler, ‘Data Spike’.

The ‘B-side’ shifts towards deeper shades and organic textures, with the dub techno & minimal-leaning title track ‘Obstinacy’ - an ideal layering tool for like-minded DJs. Finally, the EP closes with ‘Zaf (Dub Mix)’, a brooding, delay-laced gem that rounds out the release on a moody note, hinting at much more to come.

Release Date: June 6th, 2025
Info: After a couple of 4/4 releases, W133 finally returns to breakier, bassier territory — and presents its very first collaboration EP, entitled „Unifying Theme“. The two Berlin-based artists Prieste5s and Insomniast, who initially connected through the label and have both already blessed W133 with solo material, now team up and deliver something truly special. Their styles complement one another effortlessly, merging into a distinctive and interesting sound.
The EP kicks off with „Icons“ — a deep and heavy roller that blends pounding toms, fast-paced rhythms, and an eerie mystic energy. Things stay moody with „Last Things First“, where a rumbling bassline underpins distorted vocal chops that echo through the void.
„Surge“ continues in a similar spirit, upping the energy with crisp, high-frequency percs and swirling FX, before we flip to a slightly lighter note on „Tempest“. This one’s a bit more playful with multiple percussions, still driving but with a twinkle in its eye.
Closing out the EP is „This is not the End“, a slightly faster and certainly the most mischievous track of the release — high-pitched, water-meets-metal sounds and a juke-inspired rhythm make this one bounce with pure energy.
We sure hope the title of the last track isn’t lying, because we’re already excited for more output from this newly found duo.
As always, the release is complemented by a photograph by Philipp Roth. Out on 6.6.2025 via all digital platforms.

Premiere: Esgeem – Microflip | Proper Pull

An ethereal drone piece from from Finland-born, Palermo-based artist Gruth's forthcoming album.

@gruthsound
@midira_records

On "Noemata" Gruth returns with his fourth solo album, featuring a pair of extended noise drone pieces written and recorded in 2020 in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. Built from layers of field recordings from the shores of Bahia, processed vocals, long-form guitar improvisations, subtle electronics and a guest appearance by Alberto Iannuzzi, who added an underlining soprano saxophone improvisation to one of the tracks.

With "Noemata" Gruth evolves his sound cosmos, stepping away from the dark aesthetics of his previous works into brighter endlessly growing drone sound walls.
The album draws its name and inspiration from the phenomenological concept of the “noema”, used by Edmund Husserl to describe the object of thought as it appears in consciousness. Gruth treats the idea as a starting point for a kind of sonic introspection: music as a study of attention and perception.
Noemata has also been presented to a sleeping audience in a pitch-black basement at Desterro, Lisbon, illustrating its immersive potential.
Away from all the conceptual background, "Noemata" is a massive drone album that needs to be played loud to unfold its complete impact.

Out 01.08.2025 on limited cassette via Midira Records.
