Comprised of four tracks which perfectly summarize the trajectory the duo’s sound has taken over the past few years, the “Stutter” EP is Mystic State’s most confident, mature and accessible release yet."

Mystic State - Stutter (EP Showreel) [CKRA029]

Dualism EP is out now on Merkaba Music <3

Soloe’s debut release, ‘Dualism’, refers to the idea of having two distinct but complementary elements; in this case, the eclectic mix of soulful ambient and dreamy sounds with glitchy basses and psychedelic frequencies. The rich and textured soundscapes, evoke a sense of raw, untamed beauty, while the basslines are powerful, driving, and punchy, providing a grounding force that keeps the music anchored.

Whether you’re looking for something to dance to or just something to vibe out to, this EP is for those who appreciate the delicate balance of opposing forces and the unique beauty that emerges from the tension between them. The tracks embody the duality of light and dark, delicate and heavy, and natural and synthetic providing an ethereal and captivating experience.

Hope you enjoy!

Listen to 'Shadow Box' – out now on all platforms >>> listen.therustmusic.net/tygris-shadow-box

With a healthy catalog of dynamic tracks across the tempo spectrum, Tygris has delivered precision, fidelity, and musical clarity year after year alongside our internal cast of talented creatives. For The Rust Music’s 83rd release, we were given the opportunity to debut the next iteration of Tygris compositions, this time reaching towards a new bounty of songwriting fundamentals and engineering choices for fresh inspiration. For his first full release of 2024, he’s coming out of the gate at full speed with his newly minted Shadow Box drum and bass EP.

Fusing his in-house blend of pulsing side-chains and throaty synthesis with the trappings of drum and bass productions feels, in a word, natural. Each track is an entire narrative of its own, taking listeners on multi-tiered instrumental journeys through the Tygris palate. Honing in on percussive runs and rock-solid bass lines, the EP pays its respects to the influences that shaped it while pushing Tygris’ arrangement and production skills to their next fulcrum. For fans, collectors, and selectors of contemporary drum and bass music, Shadow Box is sure to be an instant grab and a stalwart favorite for 2024.

Tygris - Niteowl

Did a hole week

Take the leap, move fiercely towards the unknown, sway in rhythm between obstacles and embrace the uncertainty with a gentle smile.

This 11 tracks long album, meticulously crafted with the intention of turning inner demons into house pets, is an ode to self-worthiness.
Shoo-shoo the feelings of inadequacy, this world is chaos anyways, nothing can tell you what to be, how to be, not even orange people or insecure children disguised in billionaire meat suits !

Leap is an hybrid creature, getting inspiration from music of all kinds (mostly shades of Bass music in a larger sense, alright, alright.. not much opera or Metal core going on here, maybe next time). Alternating downtempo, faster beats and at times frenetic psychedelic glitchy goodness.

The opening track "Insidious", despite its eerie name, is a tasty blend of machine-like grooves and emotive themes, setting a strong tone.
From here on, let the ebb and flow carry your mind and soul through
this story, the story of a leap of faith and hope that we aren't totally lost !

The artwork, an original watercolor piece by Taiwanese artist GuaGua Wang is the perfect addition to this release, giving it a strong and beautiful visual aesthetic, and mushrooms are gods by the way, treat them nicely.
