OW3 Loek Frey - Decipher

For Omen Wapta’s third release, Loek Frey explores the far reaches of mechanic and organic spaciousness. His first album ‘Decipher’ is melting together metallic  and biological influences. Loek states that the artistic freedom he had during the creative process was a liberating experience: it allowed him to take risks and translate his subconscious into music. Letting go of direction, the irregular complex rhythms still provide a clear and minimalistic approach to sound design.

OW3 contains eleven electronic scapes, some more than others are intensified by layers of clashing atmospheres. Remaining fresh and breathable, elements from different sources coexist in another dimension. The result is a naturally arising composition of sound, with a sense of progression.

With its first label compilation, "My Own Mirror To Stay," Sure Thing invites six new voices into the fold. Each provides an acutely personal reflection of the dance floor suspended in a singular crystalline moment, from wide-eyed to weightless, together seeking new horizons inward and out.

MIST006 - V/A - My Own Mirror To Stay

Montreal-based producer https://soundcloud.com/priori-ties Priori has a new release on the horizon with Midgar's "Pareidolia." The title is inspired by the phenomenon of recognizing familiar patterns in random objects, which Priori artfully incorporates into his sound design. Imagine anthropomorphic water droplets ascending to a higher plane of existence. The release coincides with the label's 9th anniversary.

Priori - Pareidolia EP [snippets]

Rotterdam-based producer and sound artist Nikos lands on Flippen Bits with his debut EP, encapsulating his ever-evolving live sound in a tripped out four-tracker. 
Playfully layering rhythmic patterns, this textural debut EP takes inspiration from the sounds of techno, dub, bass music, drone, psytrance and morphs it into a trip of a debut outing.

Starting off slow and deep with trippy chugger Critter that delicately explores the spaces between the 6/8 and 4/4 metre, the EP picks up pace rapidly with the swooshing Cilia, a hypnotic techno track with breathy textures.

Nothing To Undo takes us further aspace with its polyrhythmic structures dancing around droney pads, while title track Metaturnal provides the perfect closing of the EP with psychedelic five-and-a-half minutes that continues the polyrhythmic Mantra of the EP with a more minimal approach.

Companion operates on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri-Woi Wurrung and Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we work and live. We pay our respects to their continuing cultures and connection to Country, community and music; and to Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.

CMPN005 - V/A - Collection Two [Snippets]

Pure Space returns with a certified dancefloor heater from local Eora-Sydney artist Command D.

First heard through the Inner Varnika festival soundsystem this year ‘Musik’ comes as an audacious dance cut, bolstered with aggressive drum programming, a punching bassline and playful sampling.

The vocals that carry the tune are reminiscent of many 90s dance tunes; simple yet purposeful to those rolling deep on a dancefloor.

Sure Thing presents Well of Sand, its second compilation. Six tracks from label friends and favorites, each new to the roster and offering bold, untempered explorations of tempo and weight, a concise yet expansive collection recalling the deliberate cadence of rippling sand and the sheen of shimmering oases.

Well of Sand

pi pi pi premiere: Command D - Half Blue (Violet Mix) [Sure Thing]

Command D’s life between the urban and green surrounds of Eora/Sydney shine through in his Animalia debut with a smoked out, dubby four tracker. Diving between slinky downtempo and dance-floor driven beats, weighty bass-lines, crisp percussion and submerged pads wrap the record in a shrouded atmosphere of tension and release.

Animalia would like to acknowledge that all tracks were produced on the traditional land of the Gadigal peoples of the Eora Nation, and pay respect to their elders past, and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Daisy Records Volume Two

Just over one year since our inaugural release we present the second instalment of our annual V/A compilation series ‘Volume Two,’ whereby thirteen so-called Australian artists weave a sonic tapestry that draws from the depths of the contemporary and intertwines with a nostalgic touch of 90s psychedelia.

From ambient dreamscapes and downtempo grooves to rhythmic echoes of dub and trip-hop, ‘Volume Two’ creates a journey where reality and imagination seamlessly collide. It’s a kaleidoscope of sounds, where lush pads and intricate sound design create a piece of music that is a testament to the boundless creativity thriving in the heart of Australia’s musical landscape.

Oscuro - Perseverance

►Stream: https://fanlink.tv/oscuro-perseverance

Hey friends! My latest track 'Perseverance' is out today. I tried to capture the emotion of pushing past what you feel are your limits and continuing, even after you feel you've given everything. Sometimes, things can shift and you can look back and see how easy it would have been to quit, but you were able to keep going and get to the other side. I hope you enjoy the music and I hope you all have a great weekend!

Take care ❤️🙏
