blurer is a peripheral study exploring ways to perceive our surroundings beyond any focal point. The poetic text where the winds are coming from, invites contributing artists and musicians to collectively explore a world that has become unfamiliar yet again. Inspired by the moment Alice tumbles into Wonderland, it asks what it means to unlearn, relearn, and navigate within a world anew. Like Alice, this conceptual mixtape delves into places, things, and feelings that have been overlooked, ignored or seen as a backdrop. The text, tracks, and sounds of this compilation take us on an explorative journey—not to arrive somewhere, but to sense that what lies within the blur has always already been in the here:now.
(Lisa Walder, 2025)

Most music is used as a form of abstract translation. To unblur the personal, we abstract it and transform and transport it through familiar sounds. Through abstraction, the motives are essentialized to their core. In this, minimalism becomes a prioritisation. A blur can be more flexible. The reduction of elements could be optimistic or protective.
What this release does is observe the peripheral, to look for emotionality or personality within it, but also to create atmospheres that appear peripheral, yet are again included in the general blur.
When hearing the sounds of blurer, the focus of the compositions fluctuates and directs the listener’s perception to certain points within, not only to hear what seems essential but also to draw closer attention to the peripheral. Throughout the whole release, the procedures are very different. Some moments are vivid, almost narrative. There are deconstructed references to find, in both energetic and quiet forms. Occasionally, we pass by rearing, foggy drone walls or prancing, twirling, or scurrying melodies carried around, on synths or guitar strings. Blurer seems to harbor atmospheres of comfort in the cold, loops of spiraling memories or expressions of disorientation, that scamper around on the acoustic foundation created by the 19 artists.

Haron – Taxa (QUEESTE005)
https://smarturl.it/queeste005

01 Drosera
02 Benthos
03 Pantala
04 Pincertail

Haron’s Taxa EP dips into a world of fizzing electronics and draws from it four potent club mutations. 

Having explored spacious ambient on 2018’s well-received Wandelaar, the Dutch producer turns his attention towards full-body rhythms. These newly prepared compositions, the first club release on Queeste, are dappled with synthesised colour and unexpected timbral shifts, aligning the producer with global bass permutations while maintaining his own playful course.

The skittering dancefloor percussion of opening track ‘Drosera’ immediately signals this change in direction, leading effortlessly into the tightly coiled drums of ‘Benthos’ whose name is taken from the community of organisms that dwell on the seabed. In a nod to Wandelaar’s serene tones, the track ends with weightless ambience alongside snippets of human voices, a single moment of stillness on a release elsewhere defined by movement. ‘Pantala’ is pristine computerised dancehall teeming with disembodied samples and impressionistic swirls of noise before Taxa ends with ‘Pincertail’ whose bustling syncopations recall UK funky at its nimblest.

No less evocative than his beatless work, on this EP Haron has crafted his own idiosyncratic abstraction of club music, one imbued with joyful melodies and a giddy, pleasingly destabilising sensibility.

Taxa

introducing ⤷ Haron – Taxa (QUEESTE005)

The car raced through the city beneath the glow of the street lights. They illuminated the road ahead as the evo raced towards the finish line. In pursuit was a collection of cars and bikes, they whizzed by startled pedestrians and onlookers sat perched on street corners in bars and cafes. The city was lawless after dark, chaos unfolded beneath the black of night as the racers and mischievous came out to play beneath its cloak. The engines roared as the city sprung to life. 

Duswunder is set to release a new EP on All Centre, a record label which seems to always be ahead of the curve and plotting behind the scenes. Each release is as startling as the last and the latest doesn't fail to disappoint.

For the month of August, regular host Galtier was joined by Rave Man aka Frikaan Time aka Akanbi who offered a 40 minute energetic, highly eclectic range of selections, sitting primarily around the 140bpm range.

We also spoke about how his passion for music is injected into his DJ sets and likewise how it lead to the conception of his club night Groovy Groovy.

Yours,

Premiere: 333 Boyz - Globehead Part 1 [anòmia]

She'd taken to fixating on the slow moving hands on the clock, tap tap tapping away at her desk with the end of her pen. It was almost as if she went in to a trance-like state when she entered the building each day; doing what she needed to do, but never more. Instead she spent the majority of her time day dreaming about escaping this dull place, of moving on to pastures new, of taking on new challenges and embarking on exciting adventures. It would happen, eventually.

With a background in scoring video games and animated movies, Warsaw-based producer and sound designer Ku Ku has a real knack for playing with unusual techniques and lush, atmospheric motifs. Following contributions for compilations on Classical Trax and BAS, which is the label this new release lands on, Ku Ku presents a collection of four original tracks plus three remixes, that were spawned from hours of material that have since been remoulded and formed into a cohesive release that meanders through sparse electronics, video game samples and shoegaze flourishes.
