Accustomed to delivering doom and gloom since 2009, French label @dawnrecords now unveils its 21st corrosive release with "Modern Grief," the latest toxic alloy from their new in-house project, @gargantuan-collapse.

Set for a CD release on November 13, the "Modern Grief" LP offers ten dystopian tracks drenched in harsh noise, blending cutting-edge metal, heavy bass, grimy trap, and emo-tinged IDM.

Ever since our first release back in 2023, we’ve always tried to push out electronic music which does one simple thing - takes our love of sci-fi aesthetics and melts it into sonic form, irrespective of genre, sound, mood or anything else. Now with this aesthetic cemented in our first 5 releases, we feel it is time to drop our first compilation.

We’re proud to present Multi-Source, a 14-track assemblage covering the whole helix of experimental electronic music. The result is a very wild ride through an array of styles and BPMs, and it does exactly what we’ve always tried to do - put aside genre or mood, and focus on extreme, sound-design forward explorations of sci-fi aesthetics. It’s a celebration of the insanely broad range of music we’ve managed to fit into the Plasma Sources sound so far, and an observance of all the potential the imprint has to come.

There’s offerings from the full label family - we welcome back Cortical, Beton Brut, unearth, NIQH, J-Shadow and label boss HYPNA, who each present their signature laser-guided takes on club music. We also welcome a slew of some of our favourite artists right now - Ziyiz, Stolen Velour, Prior Self, Klahrk and Atrice highlighting the light, skittering side of our aesthetic, whilst Guide, Galtier, Bonebrokk and Reinartz illuminate the dark, deep and noise-tinged aspect of Plasma Sources.

As we look forward to the rest of 2025 and our future as a label, we offer up Multi-Source as a confirmation of our key aesthetics - juxtaposing dark and light, balancing experimentalism and dance floor sensibilities and interweaving sci-fi and biologically infused sound design.

Bios Contrast & Nilotpal Das - SSAC42

Listening to Bios Contrast–aka Nilotpal Das’--SSAC42 for the first time might be likened to the experience of watching sunlight shimmering on the surface of a body of water. There is an effortless spontaneity, a mesmerizing ebb and flow. There is a movement which continually reminds us of itself. We are drawn in without needing to understand why. Curiosity takes hold—not a ‘question-driven’ curiosity–but a quiet immersion in the unfolding moment. It feels familiar, but distant; intimate, yet undeniably alien–the more we surrender to it, the more it transforms. We do not give our attention so much as we permit ourselves to drift along. With each passing moment, we are captivated anew, drawn into the throes of unexpected emotion.

The sonic world of SSAC42 seems to pull influence from various forms of electronic music on the fringes. We hear rapid, intricate drum patterns. We feel the warmth of synth textures, the soft glow of ambient pads collapsing gracefully into themselves. The airy vocals of K_anti play a significant role–gliding in over arrangements at unforeseen moments, bringing us closer to something vast and luminous. We never quite arrive, but feel as though we’re always approaching. The tracks are melodic without being grounded in melody. They coalesce, fracture, and reform. A pattern begins, and vanishes, swiftly replaced by something else entirely. Time loses shape; moments of breathtaking stillness recline over fierce drum sequences.

This warping of time is notable in the first track “everyth1ng 1n l1fe”, where soft atmospheric elements churn slowly above chaotic jittering drums. The juxtaposition stirs, generating an ongoing tension that is never resolved. Ethereal, washed out vocals pull us further into weightless expanse. Lush moments build up and transfigure, revealing new forms with each phrase. The second track “EXT10” takes us further into moments of unanticipated wonder. Through the turbulence, shifting elements are not mourned as they pass, but welcomed; we do not question their departure—we move forward with them.

The third composition, “dysph0r1a” opens with a clear vocal presence.  K_anti’s tender delivery occasionally rises above the evolving terrain of synths—fleeting, decipherable, then submerged once again. Later on, the sixth track “ap0calypse 42” carries us through a striking arc: from softness to percussive fury, and back into calm. The transformation is tumultuous, but also cyclical—destructive and restorative in turn.

The shapeshifting quality of the album can feel disorienting. Just as we find comfort and predictability, it dissolves. Familiarity is teased, and withdrawn. Perhaps it is in this instability that the core of SSAC42’s potential lies. As the unending search for meaning in our human lives is consistently upended and reimagined, SSAC42 seems to quietly posit that moments of solace will reveal themselves amid the chaos; wonder and enchantment persist if we are willing to stay open.

Bios Contrast & Nilotpal Das - ap0calypse 42

"I pick my eyes from the viscous soil and glare into the atmosphere. I see battling cumulonimbus. The mountains fade, and the land becomes sea and fog."

For our second compilation ( following the BR only calmaria.xyz ), we invite a stellar cast of fringe sound artists and visionary music producers from around the globe to bend technique and language in the pursuit of unforgettable music.

After crafting new landscapes in the multidisciplinary compilation Calmaria, Caudal continues Acta’s exploration of the phenomena that forge unknown worlds and bring forth new life. We are drawn deeper into even stranger terrains. All is unseen and all is unheard. The weather is relentless and unpredictable.
