John Ov3rblast returns with The Ascension LP, a cinematic journey that merges deep atmospheres, slow-evolving structures, and the artist's signature sense of spacious minimalism. Known for his introspective approach to sound design, Ov3rblast crafts an expansive sonic landscape that bridges ambient techno with meditative electronica.

The album-though yet to be fully unveiled-promises a refined continuation of his thematic focus on internal transformation, spiritual ascent, and the interplay of light and shadow in sound. Early glimpses, such as the tracks 'The Melody ' and 'The Menace' reveal rich textures, distant reverberations, and pulsing undercurrents that suggest both movement and stillness. Fans of Ov3rblast's Resistance LP will find The Ascension to be more ethereal, yet grounded in the same meticulous craftsmanship.

Production is clean and immersive, with a focus on slow-burn builds, evolving motifs, and subtle emotional cues that reward deep listening. It's music made not for peak-time clubs, but for personal rituals-soundtracks for late nights, long drives, or internal dialogues.

The Ascension LP positions itself as a meditative sonic work-one likely to resonate with listeners seeking depth, coherence, and a sense of inner alignment through sound. John Ov3rblast continues to prove that in the right hands, electronic music can be not just heard, but felt.

Grief Has Its Own Timeframe

When I Think

Hyperglitch is an emerging genre that is informed by glitch, idm and experimental music that came before it, but is distinct from them. It uses new techniques, explores new concepts, and has a new aesthetic. “Hyper” in this sense doesn’t mean more, or faster, or louder, it’s meant in the “hypertext” way; as in: deeper and more interconnected. Hyperglitch is the evolution of glitch. It’s what happens when a generation of artists grow up surrounded by glitch, entrenched in the digital world. Their fluency and usage/exploitation of glitch has deeper roots and is more natural and nuanced than someone born outside of this environment. 

My hope is that by helping to define the genre through this series, it will help other artists within the subgenre to find each other, and help us all develop our work and leave the past behind (or at least the parts that are holding us back). I also hope that by casting a wide net it will dissuade others from creating a formula for the genre and freezing it in time (although I’m sure some of that is inevitable). I also want to stress that Hyperglitch is new. Some of the ideas have been circulating for years, some even as far back as the early 2000’s, but their current formulation and the combinations employed by these artists are something I have never heard before (even though I have been imagining the emergence of something similar for a long time). I hope this series will illuminate the thread that I think connects these artists, and will hopefully inspire other artists to join in and create their own Hyperglitch music. 

The first album in the series is Reason by Seskamol. It is an incredibly cinematic album that intercuts dissociative ambiences with harsh, fast and hyper-detailed percussive sections. Seskamol’s understanding of rhythm and percussion seems to have moved past the need for any groove or pulse, but instead of using the pallets of electro-acoustic music, or breakcore, he mangles the two with new and more refined techniques. Similar to the raw expressions of noise music or blast beats, but reinventing them through the drum programming of breakcore with modern sound design. The result is what I imagine it would be like to wake up in a post apocalyptic wasteland, an eerie calm and then the blasts of music from an aggressive and violent time before the collapse bombarding you from a radio passing through stations, or the blasting stereo system of a renegade gang vehicle passing you. The album oscillates through feelings of desperate anger and the disabling apathy of a particularly strong depression. By passing through it with Seskamol, we know we aren’t alone.

Summit

After appearances in the labels Polish Juke and assemblyline, hæra and distope are back with a collaborative LP on BAS titled light pollution. Combining distope’s academic sound design background with hæra’s abstract vision of footwork, light pollution is an unusual album of juke grooves pulsating under ambient textures and dubbed out samples. While strongly rooted in footwork music, the record mostly avoids the genre’s usual dancefloor associations and instead offers a minimalist, meditative experience more suited for an introspective listening session than the club. light pollution is also the first and only longplaying release from the label in 2020.

hæra & distope – azura

"Larger than the will of any individual, the totality of modern human society is simultaneously one constituted by our actions yet also a gestalt entity obeying an emergent logic of its own. Constellations of processes and events act in discordant symphony largely blind to each other, while together they constitute a distributed machine serving solely itself at the price of human abjection. Conceivable solely as an abstraction, but concrete to the very core of human objectivity, this totality is profoundly human in origin but absolutely alien to our needs. Its very shape is contingent upon the trajectory of history from which it emerged, a trajectory which is now dislodged and savagely dragged along as the totality cycles itself blindly forward in time, obeying nothing other than the immanent logic of capital. Ignorance of totality matters not to it, as those who possess knowledge of its contours are no less objects to its continual unfolding. 

The horizon of its trajectory offers a fractal vision of futures such as ecological collapse, mass refugee crises, escalating pandemics, genocide, and more. Like the shards of a kaleidoscope, these morph in and out of each other, their causes and consequences all intertwined with the horrors of this perpetual unfolding of global capitalism. To grasp this all as a human is to accept it, for there is little else one can do." (Man From Sol)
