releases <3

The glimmer in our eyes gallops as a wild stallion toward infinity,
and in a screaming silence, wears the cape of innocent understanding.
Our love is grave danger, which doesn't shy away from its fate.
There is nothing to be afraid of tonight.
Love is the bastard child of the Heavens and the pits of Hell, it encompasses the entirety of human suffering.
what if we isolate it to a singular moment?
Quick and wonderful moments, without trying to hold on to it and wanting it to stay forever?

Between the concrete to the woods to the sea
We will be quiet until we understand
That this, this is momentary and unfathomable
We will take this in, with a deep breath
Until we plunge in and scatter
For out of particles wast thou taken
and unto particles shalt thou return
Walking the line drawn exactly between chaos
and symbiotic harmony.

"The glimmer in our eyes gallops as a wild stallion toward infinity, and in a screaming silence, wears the cape of innocent understanding.

Tofistock has become one of our go to labels since their first 'Movie Makers' VA back in 2018; we've watched the imprint come into its own, building a close-knit family of artists whilst refining their sound, which swirls around hypnotic trance, low slung trip hop and organic rhythms. For their next instalment, label heads Olsvangèr and MYKI keep it in the family. Alongside two solo cuts, another under Ols' DJ Headshot alias in partnership with Matris, they round off the release together under their new project Babylon X with trance-tinged title track 'Hyper Love'.

Step Ball Chain continues to shake the system and flip the skritch with its third offering via MYKI’s follow up solo release “Delenya”. The undeniably intriguing Tel-Avivian Producer & DJ, also part of the Tofistock label family and member of Shen band, shares a consensual glimpse into his fevered brain over the course of a spellbinding week. Progressively exposing sensations rooted in paranoia and isolation of recent dystopian life, the EP is sonically metamorphosed into conscious expanding club explorations, percussively advanced and masterfly frenzied dance tools for the globe's memorable dance floors. With an additional likeminded remix from label-head Roza Terenzi, the 4 tracks embody a staunch riot signalling the optimistic restoration of movement and ferocity, highlighting the crucial role and release these sentiments provide. 

Establishing the overarching atmosphere, Vertigo opens with a humble vigor; the commanding clunk of bassline leading the way for the solid stride and dynamic rhythmical transit Myki specializes in. Strictly snapped snares in conversation with auxiliary percussion and textural vocal splinters, the personality and flair that continues evidently through the release, alongside the subtly encompassing arpeggiated swells circulating overhead and the dipping lurching distortions breeding below. Roza’s remix bumps the rush of the original, preserving the frisky spirit through a stripped spine of sultry throb; then creating space for experimental evolution of rhythmic and melodic concepts. Existential breaks skip through the middle of a structural swell and switch up in kick patterns later down the line for endless mixing potential. 

The temperature continues to rise on the B side as Myki ascends into 140+ club territory. Puma Snap snatching your ears instantly with rudely harsh distortion, abandoned abruptly for a quick & slick stripped back drum pattern, gently teasing in extra percussion and light pad timbre. The infectious rolling bass pokes in underneath, locking effortlessly in union to drive the levitating hypnotic flow; the magnetic power of strutting feet to the floor. Bleeding Tooth shadows this stamina for the conclusion; yet with a murky roughness seeping through severe shaded drums and growling low end. Brace yourself for curious revelations and structure ambushes, keeping the innovation gushing with a jarring guitar disruption and gnarled vocal mumblings to stimulate physical combustion. 

Here lies a new age era of perc heavy prog-dance-trance, a twisted and tweaked high energy evolution from historical roots, the kaleidoscoping euphoria and playful aural punishment that trickles through Step Ball Chain’s ethos.

MYKI - Delenya (STEP03)

Hyper Love Vol. 1

Gamma Closure

TFSTK011 : Babylon X - Truckupidööm

Truckupidööm is rolling on basalt stones with an hypnotic inertia of a sensual mileage.
The pleasures of trembling releases from her body plastic and more plastic, spring and another spring, metal and another metal.
She sheds the industry’s father from herself and turns to mother earth, to the sand hall, to the whistles of camels, to the reddish threshold where sunrises are a burning fire, and silence is an azure eternity.

Label heads Olsvangèr and MYKI entrusted with the 11th installment of Tofistock.
5 spooky desert rollers to resonate the grounded dragon.

‘This is a personal homage to several genres we wanted to unite.
something between oldskool house, mediterranean magic, progressive trance, and jazz; nostalgia through the dusty roads.

Next up on KOC’s ever-expanding web of dance dignitaries comes a knockout split release from two of the finest in the game; Olsvangér & MYKI. The dynamic duo making shapes from Tel Aviv take a side each to showcase a special signature synergy; percussive, playful and innovative tech-trance. The A-side from Olsvangér is filled with an infectious groove, gorgeous stabs dipping and soaring over a delicious bassline and razor-sharp drum programming. MYKI mirrors the party starting prog; bumping up the speed with rhythmic explorations that have become trademarks of the Tofistock crew. With forces combined, the four-track EP is an essential collection of club tools and versatile modern sounds for the mind and body.

1. Srita Bagav
It is a circus of shame, fantasy and adrenaline passion that turns into an orgasmic crying "touch me already".
The production idea originated in the Tel Aviv Alphabet Club, the connections of the stubbornly diverse and the belief in their ability to blend and produce a common purpose is the essence of all this notion and there is an orgy of genres and elements without defining or judging.

2. Lips
Get closer to me, I'm ready.
All the feelings I had
Wandered through a tube to the lips.
Sometimes I feel drunk with pain
From hurt and self-pity
When we kiss
Innocence and silence
Like a lunar arm collects us.

3. Zanshin
I do not see or hear anything and go blind from the acid fog, preoccupied at 6:00 am and anxious to continue my way from the tar to the urine threshold.
Dark melody, eel bassline, a British officer's groove, and a melody that, like a locust swarm, sticks to the pyramid and covers it with endless bugs.


4. De Kesem

From Trance Brake to Prog House at light speed!

With the world in Covid-19 lockdown and the events industry stopped in its tracks, artists and online media like ourselves have been left financially vulnerable and, well...pretty bored. In an effort to alleviate both, Stamp The Wax launches Isolation Therapy, an emergency compilation built from scratch at lightning speed. 

We reached out to a bunch of friends who may need a hand, and gave them three days to make a track from scratch in isolation. 27 artists rose to the challenge and within a week from our first reach outs we were ready to go with masters (s/o Adam Scrimshire) and artwork (s/o Jess Ebsworth)⁣⁣. Final s/o to Aly Gilani for helping pull it all together. 

To provide artists with financial support as quickly as possible, royalty splits have been increased and accounting periods have been reduced to fortnightly during Coronavirus restrictions. Isolation Therapy will also provides much-needed funds for STW, having been hit heavily by the collapse of the events industry and postponement of all our media partnerships. If you can afford to buy the album, even if you don't like every track, it will be a massive support for independent journalism and go a long way to help us fight through this lockdown.⁣⁣

PUFF006 : MYKI - Corrupt Vertigo (snippets)

Trekking away through the mirage of the white abyss, unable to see the finish line, never mind where she started from. As the moon rises the temperature begins to plummet; her feet are quickly starting to freeze as she wades through the thick snow. She had to move rapidly, she had to find shelter from the storm or else she'd freeze there for eternity. Nobody came up this way anymore...

Tel Aviv-based label Tofistock return with their eighth release, this time from close family member MYKI. The seven-track EP entitled Natif, meaning stalactite in Hebrew, explores how 'the subconscious cave is not an empty space in the conscious mind'. MYKI's work with drum patterns lies at the centre of most of the tracks on the release, including our pick, 'Repetitive Madness' which journeys through different percussive iterations, driven by a bubbling trance-like acid line and polyrhythmic drumwork.

PREMIERE: MYKI - Repetitive Madness [Tofistock]

The subconscious cave is not an empty space in the conscious mind, it is a bubbling space, haunted by questions and mystical activity.

“Natif” (Stalactite - in Hebrew) is a seventh tracks EP by Tel-Aviv based DJ and producer MYKI.

Any substance, water drip or murmur reveals a cloak of meaning in the form of a showy echo. A variety of ancient animals, forbidden imaginary fruits and mysterious passions sneak in at night and look for a place of refuge to rest, to sleep.

The stalactites (Natif) are amorphous juice from the bottom of the mind, they are the seeds of confusion and irrationality and they seep through cracks in the cave and produce chaos and trembling until suddenly, out of a nightmare are born proud crystals of splendor and inspiring beauty.
