At the slow party

Drowned By Locals marks its fifth anniversary with a three-volume digital anthology and a limited printed manifesto, Black Circle, written by Ian Bruner and published by Drowned By Public.

drownedbylocals.bandcamp.com/album/porn…c-tantalus

Rather than serving as a retrospective, the anthology traces the label’s evolving sound, its expanding cohort of misfits, and its unfolding trajectory. Across the three volumes, DBL assembles new works, long-buried material, and contributions from artists connected to the label through releases, radio, dormant ideas, or future intentions. Taken together, they form a portrait of the label’s instinctive curatorial logic — pairing worlds that should not, by any reasonable measure, coexist.

Release Schedule 
Volume I: Pornographic-Time, Vol. I — The Pornographic-Tantalus — November 28, 2025 
Volume II: Pornographic-Time, Vol. II — The Continuous Present — December 19, 2025 
Volume III: Pornographic-Time, Vol. III — The Horizonless Interface — January 30, 2026

All volumes draw their titles and thematic direction from Black Circle. The manifesto describes “pornographic-time” as a condition in which desire is continuously activated but never fulfilled. It’s the experience of being pulled outward by images, demands, and expectations faster than one can return to oneself. You remain visible, but rarely seen.

Each volume adopts a different facet of this state.

Volume I — The Pornographic-Tantalus
“Each gesture toward conclusion makes the object recede. Tantalus stands beneath bowed fruit trees, but as she moves to consume, the branch bends away. With each pang of thirst, the water ebbs further.”

Volume II — The Continuous Present
“Because of its accelerated pace, pornographic-time both appears and vanishes instantly—a cybernetic loop, a continuous present. Overfull and empty. Life collapses into micro-moments that disappear as soon as they arrive.”

Volume III — The Horizonless Interface
“Both the targeted individual and the pornographic-Tantalus occupy the time-space of the horizonless interface, hived in algorithmic neurological pathways and pathologies, resulting in a bare life layered with compulsive and neurotic loops of behavior.”

Black Circle expands these ideas into print, combining Bruner’s text with visual contributions from more than twenty artists. Released in a hand-numbered run of 100 copies, it will be available independently or bundled with the anniversary T-shirt. All physical editions include the full three-volume digital anthology.

SKY H1 — Motion EP
Label: CODES 
Cat.No.: CDS004
Release Date: 15 July 2016
@codesact

‘Motion’ is the new EP release on PAN’s sublabel CODES from Belgian producer SKY H1.

Having previously collaborated with producers and collectives such as Bala Club and Creamcake, Brussels-based SKY H1 has since performed at the likes of multi-media 3HD Festival and Amsterdam’s Sonic Acts to high acclaim for her distinctly forward-thinking sound.

Drawing from a background of widely-varying musical tastes from Ambient to Grime, her own work is an amalgamation of emotive compositions of orchestral Elysian synths, often displaced with sparse percussive elements.

The new record, ‘Motion’ is a highly personal endeavour, constructed from the results of a turbulent time - where she describes it as ‘a flash of her emotional state over the last few months’. “It signi-fies leaving behind a period in my life and stepping into something new.” She explains.

Moving through bleak soundscapes layering vaporous choral synths, ethereal vocals and glassy, lucid tones crafted in complex structures, the record bears moments of melancholy as well as joy on tracks like ‘Tell Me’ and ‘I Think I Am’. “It's about going through the different stages of grief and accepting the positive effects the loss of someone can have on you.” She says. “It's about experiencing an intensely emotional time with a lot of ups and downs, and I think this is transparent in the way the tracks are ordered.”.
