Pessimist & Vega with Mønic - 04 June 2025

The Dark Wanderer Hoji presents the first EP of Ornament170.  
Four tracks, crafted as a single journey — dark, deep, and precise down to every beat.

The journey opens with 'Gneiss' — minimalist and focused, immersing you in a dense, immersive atmosphere from the very first seconds.  
It’s followed by 'Tempest' — the core of the EP. Hard-hitting, heavy drums lead you through a tense sonic landscape.  
Next comes 'Cyanide'. A cyclical lead pulls you in repeatedly, blurring the line between start and finish.  
The final stop is 'Caravan' — technical and structured, with powerful drums and precise delivery. It closes the journey confidently, without unnecessary flair.

Ornament170 begins its movement.

01 // Hoji - Gneiss
02 // Hoji - Tempest
03 // Hoji - Cyanide
04 // Hoji - Caravan

Taken from - Pianeti Sintetici - 侍栽培二

https://pianetisintetici.bandcamp.com/album/-

The second release on Samurai Music sub label Saibai welcomes Italian sound-world-builder Pianeti Sintetici for a richly rendered foray into dynamic electronica that moves like a set of vibrant ecosystems. 

Davide Perrone has developed his Pianeti Sintetici ('synthetic planets') alias to explore the idea of creating imaginary worlds through teeming, densely layered arrangements of modulating synthesis. He's previously delivered spellbinding albums and EPs to respected labels like Astral Industries and Hypnus. On 侍栽培二, Perrone ably blurs the lines between percussive, textural and melodic parts, letting voices bend and warp as each sound evolves through the labyrinthe lattice of his constructions. This is electronic music so dynamic and ever-shifting, it sounds positively sentient, and yet there's a strong emotional sentiment that binds these fantastic visions together as sincere expressions from a grounded, human perspective. 

True to Saibai's focus on deeper, mellower flights of fantasy away from the dancefloor, SAIBAI2 offers a kinetic, engaging listening experience dressed up in opulent tones that gleam, shimmer, bend and flex with hypnotising dexterity.
