„ok so picture this lil knight—not really knightly looking, more just called that—dancing all soft and floaty, kinda like a baroque-y ballet, maybe a passepied? not sure. he moves like a cat, tail all fluffy, spinning slow... and then halfway through you just stop caring and start floating up for no reason. that’s pretty much it.”

blue steel is a Warsaw-based producer making music somewhere between emotional trance flashbacks and save screen ambience. used to do more club stuff, but now mostly enjoys wandering through glitching textures, clunky combat, and epic finales. his recent releases sketch out a path from restless dungeons to sun-drenched ruins.

Due to a recent law in Hungary, made to limit the right of assembly, amongst other minorities, the LGBTQ community and Budapest Pride face uncertain times.
The only answer to this, is to unite and let our voices heard.
We need to safeguard queer spaces.

Electronic music has always been a safe space for the queer community, so Marmint is launching a compilation in solidarity with Budapest Pride on the 28th of June, 2025.
The digital release is going to be accessible on Soundcloud, Nina Protocol, Bandcamp and other streaming services.

All proceeds go to Budapest Pride (Szivárvány Misszió Alapítvány)

lyrics:
pag-ibig ay palaisipan
sa tamang oras baby kelan ba yan?
dali daw eh, galing mo naman
(galing mo naman)
di manalo sa larong pag-ibig
mga sinuwerte pabalato naman
mapa rockers man o punks na long hair
tiyak hindi lahat wagi diyan

ganto talaga sa mundong ibabaw
naku damdaming walang mayaw

away at bati
away at bati
oh baby
alam mo naman depende
sa araw at buwan at kung hindi
ay okay lang yan...

ganto talaga sa mundong ibabaw
naku damdaming umaapaw

ganto talaga sa mundong ibabaw
naku damdaming walang mayaw

Dear Baby From Malate

Self-aggravated
Agree to disagree
I think I made it
As clear as it can be

I can't believe that it's
Coming and coming again

Hard to keep aiming
There's something in my eye

Can't tell what's missing
We've blurted out the lines

Don't expect too fast I'll
Be running be running away
The alley I'll limp
Where we started we started the bends

Change
(Tell me how you do it)
Change
(When you give me all the blame)
Change
(Use some common sense)
Change
(In that dirty little brain)

Words just like honey
It's pouring out my mouth
Still dreaming funny
Her teeth kept falling out

This sinking ship
Made me vomit all over the place

Tough pill to swallow
It's punching me inside
Guess that's what hollow
It's something that i tried

Now you point the blame
I can't hear a word you say
Broke a sweat don't let
Regret go all the way

Change
(Tell me how you do it)
Change
(When you give me all the blame)
Change
(Use some common sense)
Change
(In that dirty little brain)

𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝓢𝓮𝓪𝓷 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓓𝓲𝓮𝓰𝓸:
When we started the Ultrasoft Notes project, we imagined it as a fascinating opportunity to discover our friends’ musical tastes outside of function-based dance music contexts. Since the inaugural mixtape, we’ve been pleasantly surprised by how much these contributions allow us to connect with our guests on a deeper level — not through verbal narratives, but through intricate meditations expressed in sound.

Anton is someone we have held in high regard throughout the years of knowing him. He is a true genius — combining impeccable taste with an inspiring obsession for the art of digging. This edition of Notes reflects exactly what we’ve come to expect from him, and somehow still offers more. It is intelligent, carefully considered, and expansive in its content. 

In these times of confusion, distress, and conflict, we invite you to listen. We hope that this mix brings you feelings of love and care. #stopgenocide

I. Fundamental
Colocalization pertains to the method of checking whether two or more kinds of cells are co-located in a specific frame. Different colors are assigned to different cells and a software identifies which cells are co-located in the frame; however, this is not to say that these two types are interacting with one another as these could just be floating on top of each other at a microscopic scale. This fascinated me as it can be analogous to the abstractness of music. We don’t see music physically, yet as we listen, we feel as if the music is there. 

II. Technical
What I did was I ‘colocalize’d all my past mix recordings to look for similarities. The result is this symbiosis of all the music I want to share, where it feels tangible to my surroundings. I sought after tracks that can colocalize through multiple seasons such as the sound of the warm summer and the cool of the monsoon rain.
