• Tracks Premiere •

In the second week of 2023, Worg returns to release duties with Il Piano di Medea EP on Lykos Records. Having as inspiration the quest of Jason and the Argonauts, the narrative expands in three original tracks while it also includes a remix by Neel. From those parts of the mythical journey, as envisioned by Worg, we would like to present the premiere of Il Vello D'Oro. Praising the divine radiance emanating from the Golden Fleece with its grainy texture, the track bathes under its purifying energy. The steady percussion pace provides a sense of purpose and commitment, as did the mythical hero when he set sail to obtain this artifact. With the creation of a constant "buzzing" and the invocation of some strict and heavy bassline, the dense textures form a strong enough foundation to uphold the epic proportions of such an expedition. In addition to the premiere, we talked to the producer about his background and the upcoming release.

MNMT Premiere: Worg - Il Vello D'Oro [LYKOS]

Artist: Worg 
Title: 'Oracolo'
Label: Lykos Records 
Cat. #: LYKOS-V
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Release: 13th January, 2023
Pre order: https://lykosrecords.bandcamp.com/album/il-piano-di-medea-ep-lykos-v

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Worg' track remixed by Neel on 'Lykos Records'.
With this release the label celebrates the return to the ranks of the founder Worg. A triumphant homecoming comparable to that of Jason, the main character of the Argonautica, who travelled in search of the Golden Fleece (Il Vello d’Oro) aboard the ship Argo. 
After many vicissitudes, the hero returned to Iolco, his homeland, to reclaim the throne usurped by his half-brother Pelias. 

In his reinterpretation of Oracolo Neel, the grand Maestro of techno, in a similar way uses musical elements such as a harsh and acid bass line or a tight rhythm to lead the listener into a psychic state of suspension and mystical elevation.

Premiere: Worg - Eryx

@LykosRecords è una label, dal fascino decadente, che costruisce la sua poetica sui viaggi nel tempo e nella storia, con particolare attenzione a quell'aura che ancora oggi rende eterna e memorabile la mitologia greca e latina. E questa volta ci presenta l'EP "Orazi e Curiazi" con la premiere della traccia "Alba Longa".

Orazi e Curiazi EP

Alba Longa (Original Mix)

Laertes vs Worg - Alba Longa (Original Mix) - Lykos Records [PREMIERE]

Artist: Laertes vs Worg
Title: 'Vinti'
Label: Lykos Records
Cat. #: LYKOSVI
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Release: 30th August, 2024
Pre order: https://lykosrecords.bandcamp.com/album/orazi-e-curiazi-ep-lykos-vi

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Laertes & Worg' gem on 'Lykos Records'.
In Chapter VI of the Lykos epic, the destinies of two majestic cities from the VII century B.C., Rome and Alba Longa, intertwined in a confrontation that soon transformed into a titanic battle. 
This epic clash, extended into a long and bloody war, laid the foundations of a precarious balance, leaving both powers in a deadlock. 
The rulers of the two cities, the noble King Tullus Hostilius of Rome and the proud King Mettius Fufetius of Alba Longa, aware of the devastation the war had wrought, decided to end the conflict.

To avoid further bloodshed, they appointed two groups of representatives to decide the outcome of the dispute. 
For Rome, the Horatii (Orazi), three brothers of noble lineage and sons of Publius Horatius, and for Alba Longa, the three Curiatii (Curiazi) twins, prepared for an epic duel with swords as the instrument of judgment.

Similarly, in the world of artists, a similar confrontation took shape. 
Two divergent visions, two contrasting yet somehow akin masteries collided. Laertes, a veteran with legendary exploits, and Worg, a young tribunus militum rich in fervor, joined forces. 
Amidst meetings, exchanges of ideas, and deep respect, a new chapter in their artistic history was born.

This EP, like the conflict between Rome and Alba Longa, presents itself as an eclectic collection of tracks. 
Its musical narrative reflects the epic battle of the 7th century B.C. 
The vinyl, divided into side α and β, juxtaposes the reflective and tribal depth of deep-techno (side β) with the visceral, physical, and dancefloor-oriented aspect of techno (side α).

Side α immerses the listener’s imagination within the battle with “Vincitori” and “Vinti”. In “Vincitori”, Laertes and Worg converge their skills into mammoth atmospheres, syncopated rhythms, and metallic percussion, bringing a clash of blades to life through sharp synths and a groove reminiscent of the thunder of war horses. 
The former presents in “Vinti” a majestic metallic melody, evoking, the roar of battle and the glittering sword strokes and slashes hurled at iron shields.

The side β opening with “Alba Longa”, it evokes the ancient city through sinuous and seductive choirs, sound textures reminiscent of tribal ceremonies, and rhythms of ancient tribes. 
With “Trigemini”, the ritual intensifies, featuring frenzied metallic percussion and synths that evoke wild lands and primordial civilizations.

Thus, both in mythical antiquity and contemporary techno, the confrontation between powers and visions leads to the creation of an epic chapter, carved in vinyl and the legends of the times.

Premiere: Laertes vs Worg - Vinti [Lykos Records]

Artist: Worg
Title: 'Rapsodia Sciamanica'
Label: Lykos Records
Cat. #: LYKOS I
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Release: 14th January,​ ​2019
Pre order: https://lykosrecords.bandcamp.com/releases

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Worg' gem remixed by Svarog on 'Lykos Records'.
The EP Lupercus inaugurates the Lykos Records label, inspired by the legendary figure of Lupercus and the rites connected to him. 
Worg’s music with obsessive rhythms and oneiric melodies is the bridge between our reality and the pagan divinity. 
In the hands of the Ukrainian Svarog, the track is tinged with dull colors with a strong, predominance of the kick and a swirling drone, thus completing the ceremony.
Have a good listening.

Title: 'Fiore Bianco'
Label: Lykos Records

Release: 26th August,​ ​2019
Pre order: https://lykosrecords.bandcamp.com/releases

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new OutpostLive' track remixed by Nørbak on 'Lykos Records'.
For its second release "Tacita Muta", Lykos Records has enlisted a new legionnaire called OutpostLive to tell the tale of the Goddess Tacita, the female personification of eternal silence. 
 OutpostLive reenacts this ancient Roman myth and guides us on an enchanting and magical journey to the Underworld. 
“Fiore Bianco” evokes the voices of dead souls arising from the obscure abysses, broken only by some pads and harmonies. 
Nørbak on the other hand, brings a brief glimmer of light into Tacita's underground journey with its strident and brilliant sounds, a metaphor for Jupiter’s bolt lightning.

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Ness' gem on 'Lykos Records'.
The label has the honor to welcome in its ranks the one who could be compared to a centurion, the greatest in charge in the Roman Army. 
With more than a decade of experience behind him and which has dictated the aesthetic canons of a genre, Lykos Records presents Ness and his Ep „Memento“.
The β side begins with a utopian and almost catastrophic vision that „System Failure“ paints, through scratching and repetitive sounds, alarming and catapulting the listener into a dark and distressful nightmare.

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Laertes' track remixed by Worg on 'Lykos Records'.
Titanomachia is the title of Laertes‘ new work inspired by Hesiod‘s Theogony. 
The artist tells through aggressive and groovy sounds one of the bloodiest wars in Greek mythology, Zeus leading the Olympian gods versus Chronos and the Titans.
The description of the battle changes with Worg, who proposes his version of Chaos. 
The story of the battle is entrusted to the evolution of lashing metallic effects that recall the lightning of the father of all Gods.

Lost In Ether | P R E M I E R E | Laertes - The Immortal [Lykos Records]

taken from: Laertes - Titanomachia EP [LYKOS IV]
release date: Oct 30th, 2020

"In ancient Rome, Consuls held two strategic roles: exercising authority over all the public affairs of the city and accompanying the legions in their military campaigns.
!Lykos Records gave this role to Artist Laertes, born Gianluca Meloni. Ambassador of sound of Rome, Laertes has been one of the pioneers of the deeptechno genre. After establishing in Italy as producer, live performer and mastering engineer, he exported his aesthetics all around the world.
Titanomachia is the title of Laertes‘ new work inspired by Hesiod‘s Theogony. The artist tells through aggressive and groovy sounds one of the bloodiest wars in Greek mythology, Zeus leading the Olympian gods versus Chronos and the Titans.
Chaos throws us into the swirl of battle. The repetitive sound of the synth bass sequence alludes to the sound of spears broken on shields, while pads and strings charge the entire track with tension.
The narration continues in a daring succession of loops and hypnotic rhythms, with the second track The Immortal. Strident bleeps and incessant percussions and rhythmic patterns characterize the progressive crescendo.
The description of the battle changes with Worg, who proposes his version of Chaos. The story of the battle is entrusted to the evolution of lashing metallic effects that recall the lightning of the father of all Gods. Psyk closes the chronicle of the epic battle with the adaptation of The Immortal. 
The kick recalls war drums that galvanize the troops on battlefields. The artist evokes the heroic spirit with powerful and thunderous sounds.

• LYKOS RECORDS EPITAPH •


 Founded by Worg in the Anno Urbis Conditæ MMXVIII, Lykos Records was born from the ruins and rubble of ancient imperial Rome. 

 Lykos Records draws its inspiration on such a decadent charm. The label builds its poetics on journeys through time and history, with particular attention to that aura that still today makes both Greek and Latin mythologies eternal and memorable. 

 Victories, defeats, narrations of extraordinary and epic events are depicted into that graphic-musical style characteristic of Lykos Records: from a deep, hypnotic and mental sound to rougher, visceral and pressing ones. A new generation of artists and remixers, flanked by some of the most renowned international masters, are involved. 

 The sound suggested by Lykos legionnaires, through sound design techniques, harmonies, melodies, evocative texture creations and different genres mixed together, makes of each release a story of its own, unique and rare.

 If ars dicendi, the art of saying or rhetoric, was born in ancient Rome, it is now in contemporary Rome music that promotes the art of conceiving, producing and evoking stories, sensations and memories, by all the techniques already mentioned.
 Through these sounds, music becomes a language able of communicating emotions: an interiority created by the musical production touching deep inside the soul of the listener.

 Each release is a unique piece for collectors as it is enriched by hand-drawn artwork. Actually, the ruins of ancient Rome are illustrated by artist Roberto Mulliri, whose works condense the magic of two thousand years of history. His drawings recall the seventeenth-century engravings, with exasperated perspective visions mixed with violent optical effects. The illustrations on the covers of Lykos Records are an invitation to discover some precious Roman treasures - they are a journey through myths and legends between Colosseum, Pantheon and the Imperial Forums. 

 The label is nourished of Rome, of its history and of those souls that roam its streets.
