99 POST AMBIENT SONGS

Bartosz Kruczyński, also known as artist Earth Trax (@earthtraxonline), is arguably among the leading names in Poland’s current electronic music scene. Based in Warsaw, his music is deeply emotive and explores a wide-ranging sonic palette that is complemented by well-defined artistic concepts. He has already featured on labels including Phonica Records, Growing Bin, Into The Light and Shall Not Fade –with whom he released his acclaimed debut album in 2020–.

His Lapsus release 'Closer Now', takes a different trajectory to his previous album 'The Sensual World' [Shall Not Fade, 2022], fundamentally an energetic and high tempo club record. In contrast, 'Closer Now' focuses on fresh and disparate ideas, with tracks that could typically be classified as more unrestrained B-sides that deconstruct sounds aimed at the dancefloor.

‘Closer Now' is influenced by liminal spaces and cultivates surreal and dreamlike qualities. Conversely it also possesses a sense of strength and grit, highlighted by moments where electronic distortion bares its teeth. It is an album that  refers to both IDM and chill out rooms.

A SHATTERED DREAM

Iron Lang’s debut series of sonic installments, Only Tears Can Quell These Flames, explores the omnipresence of sound in contemporary life, emphasizing the connection between the physical world and its digital manipulation. The work reflects on how our sensory engagement with real and virtual spaces shapes our perception of acoustic phenomena and transforms our relationship with both natural and constructed environments.

Each installment is built from field recordings captured across Italy between 2023 and 2024, electromagnetic interferences, and raw sounds produced by instruments Iron Lang crafted by hand. Through digital processing, these source materials are reimagined— blurring the line between environmental texture and musical form, and turning distant murmurs and mechanical resonance into emotionally charged sonic landscapes.
