...it wasn't really me

Salamanda - Drink Wisdom

hree years after their first collaboration, culminating in the release of “The Passenger”, Om Unit and Martyn are back on 3024 with another four track exploration of tempo and vibrations on a new EP called “AJ^6”.

The two ‘veteran’ producers have been highly prolific over the past years, with Om Unit making waves with his massive Acid Dub Studies project as well as new work under his Philip D. Kick alias, and Martyn spearheading and mentoring a robust group of new musicians responsible for no less than five (!) compilations on 3024. What brings the two producers together in the studio once again is the constant hunger for new and interesting sounds on the outer rim of the ‘bass continuum’. Instead of tirelessly rehashing old tropes they are continuously inspired to write new music that’s both current as well as firmly in their aesthetic profile.

‘Basilisk’ and ‘The Trenches’ are great examples of the duo blending odd tempos with dub wise heaviness. ‘Basilisk’ has already been doing some serious damage on the dance floor with its punchy 107 beat structure and headzy breakdown, while the almost imperial march of ‘The Trenches’ introduces a bubbly bass line. ‘Illroy’ and ‘Dragonfly’ both inhabit a dreamier, more melodic universe and have a timeless, ambivalent quality to them, somewhere between a lost b-side of an early 00s Hospital Records release and something on Scuffed. Enjoy!

Air in the Dark

Casanora invites listeners into fluid worlds with her new EP, ‘The Year of the Jellyfish.’ This collection dives deep, presenting sounds that swim, float, and flow, inspired by the breezes of Puglia and the warmth of the Mediterranean. Through a calming exploration, the EP captures the serene dance of jellyfish, inviting us to drift and discover beauty away from fast tempos.

With ‘The Year of the Jellyfish,’ Casanora creates a tranquil atmosphere amidst chaos, encouraging moments of reflection as thoughts wash ashore. This seven-track EP serves as an ode to freedom and the vastness of the sea.

The soundscape vibrates between realms, transporting listeners through calming tunes like ‘Floating Clouds’ and more energetic offerings like ‘New Sun.’ The music ebbs and flows, balancing relaxation with energy, provoking both nostalgia and awakening.

Casanora, a gifted sound designer, blends melancholic melodies with playful rhythms, crafting an experience that resonates deeply. Each track is an invitation to lose and find oneself simultaneously.

‘Dealer of the Sea’ not only previews the EP but also serves as an entry into an expansive new world, showcasing Casanora's unique sound. It offers a hypnotic pulse, creating a sense of immersion into the currents of sound, inviting listeners to lose themselves in its depths.

This EP caters to fans of experimental electronics, indie pop, and ambient music, aiming to engage both existing fans and newcomers alike through themes of self-discovery and deceleration. With ‘The Year of the Jellyfish,’ Casanora presents an enchanting soundscape that offers an alternative to life's hectic rhythms.

Notably, artist Jose enhances the EP’s experience with unique videos for each track, providing a poetic visual interpretation that deepens the musical journey, drawing viewers into surreal landscapes reminiscent of dreams.

‘The Year of the Jellyfish’ offers a sonic experience that resonates on emotional and intellectual levels, urging us to slow down and engage more deeply with our surroundings. It serves as a manifesto for deceleration, inviting us to escape daily stresses and emerge in a more tranquil reality.
