PREMIERE: Anteac - Sex And Death [Paranoid Rec]

Selective Response's biography dubs him a "Sonic-Chameleon," a bold assertion that he continually validates not only across multiple releases but also within this very EP. Each track feels like a custom creation tailored for a specific DJ style, unified by his signature high-energy, razor-sharp production aesthetics. If you need a linear, rolling track that continuously evolves, you're covered with "Carbon Copy." Menacing vibes with distorted acid lines? "Ambush" it is. "Street Justice" sounds like an autonomous boombox from another universe and evokes gritty, urban imagery, while "Abscess" brings a more experimental edge to the EP, even carrying breakcore hints.

Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | The Fifth Stigma - Shielded By Thorns (Low Order Remix)[Venaeform]

While Scalameriya's first album, Hubris (2016) on Genesa Records, was an exploration of what he considered "uncharted territory" at that time, Aeon Core (2022) on Perc Trax, on the other hand, was a process of cataloguing the various techno influences from his teenage years, seen through the lens of his modern, unmistakable style.
The next chapter of Scalameriya's turbulent saga in electronic music is Kornukopiya (2024), the manifesto of a mad scientist, a depiction Nikola resisted for years that ultimately became an embraced part of his persona as he finally takes on the lab coat of a genre-defying artist he was bound to become.
His documented, unwavering discipline has transformed into nothing less than rituals that are performed daily, securing him the grace of the muse as a result.
With Kornukopiya, Scalameriya ventures beyond the ordinary and dashes to the forefront of avant-garde club music, evading the shackles of conventional techno yet again while he effortlessly showcases his limitless hyperphantasia across 25 tracks, each as relentless and articulate as the other, making this album an auditory opulence for listeners eager to experience more than just a simple interaction between an effective kick and a random blip.
Always remaining conceptual, worshiping the idea and imagination as sacred phenomena, this time he consolidates the ever-recurring motifs of sci-fi, danger, and weight in his music with the mystical, bringing forth coherent displays of sound that, collectively as an album, emit an uncanny fusion of mechanical ferocity and ethereal enchantment.
At the moment, Kornukopiya can be considered Scalameriya's "magnum opus", but with his merciless pursuit of the apex of sound design, this statement will likely be rendered obsolete in the blink of an eye.

Premiere: The Prescriber - Isn't Shit [Fever Recordings]

Dario Desaer marks his return with this second release on his own label, MASSA-BETOGING. 'Under Dead Neon' unravels like a fevered descent into liminality. Opening with 'The Waiting Place', the EP sets the stage with sheer intensity, embodying the grotesque essence of its unexpected, full presence. 'Lost Girl' then erupts—a relentless dance floor weapon, yet still drenched in shadow. ‘Blue Room’ plunges deeper, mirroring the glow of isolation, while ‘Removal’ delivers the final rupture—an analog implosion: distorted, filthy, and absolute.

"Ether, or æther, was the mysterious substance once thought to suffuse the universe and be the medium that propagated light (and radio waves once they were discovered). Before that, it was the material that suffused the realm of the Gods. So, to say that something is in the ether means that it is something being communicated from place to place; it has no precise location, just as a radio broadcast can be heard from many different places. "
