Cypha - Xzirow Command

Slaloming between stations since early 2022, traverse is the Amsterdam-based radio series and music platform pushing a hypnotising collage of elastic bass and pulsating rhythms that slide through genre descriptions with abandon.

Now expanding into a label and experimental home for producers to explore their own versatility, traverse presents its debut compilation: traversée. An eight-track VA of moods and grooves that skips between styles and bpms through a collection of atmospheric pieces designed directly for the dancefloor.

Encouraging artists to explore creative avenues that they would have otherwise passed by, traverse is a space to share new ideas and personal reflections that aren’t tied to any one convention or formula.

Populated by producers from all corners of the world, from Brazil to Japan via Mexico and the Czech Republic, traversée 001 is a unifying body of work that truly reflects the ethos behind Lolo Batten’s traverse platform.

Beatrice M.: "Caught between a passion for mental 170 halftime tribe sounds and 140 progressive dubstep-techno hybrids, I often produce a track at 140 bpm and then speed up the bpm at the last minute to see how it sounds. This is what happened with “TriForce”. Another key to my productions is the snare on the third beat, and the fact that I almost always sample scenes from the longest ongoing British TV series Doctor Who, the voices bring me comfort and reming me of the excitement of watching episodes during my teenage years."

A powerful glow paralyses time in the night. The hypnotic lights and the darkness of the ravine draw together silence and noise, the harmonic vibrations of a-formed bodies.
It's a different light, travelling cautiously and heavily, enough to pierce boundaries. It can permeate and engulf anything, its bioluminescence is magical and part of its amorphous system.
It's both astral and all too earthly. All around, sparkling threads weave the world's most intricate mesh: those who only travel in a straight line will be able to dodge the stars, but not this. It will be absorbed and be light.

A sprawling exploration of shimmering galaxies and subterranean swampy-tek. Not Mass, Simone Bauer, Thoden, Abo Abo, Drawbridge, and Orchid join forces and weave murky and liquid plots, sanctioning the second part of this VA's trilogy on Stagno Records.

To celebrate the first extended play on De la... je l'espère, Partial Pressure EP by Seta Loto, the Italian minimal bass gem, takes listeners through soundscapes where unseen forces shape and bend the space around them. Inspired by the concept of partial pressures —forces coexisting in harmony—  
the EP blends minimal drum and bass, left-field bass, and experimental textures, drifting between the scientific and the surreal. Across 4 original tracks and 2 remixes, the music explores how distinct components unite to form a greater whole.

All original tracks written, recorded, produced and mixed by Seta Loto

Seta Loto - Partial Pressure (Aerae Remix)

‘Metal Form Suite’ is a culmination of the sounds that inspire the label in its endeavour to create scaled events with underground and DIY tendencies. Through this compilation and curation, General Merchant is showcasing the range of sounds that you may expect to hear at one of their warehouse parties.

General Merchant acknowledges that it operates on stolen land, belonging to the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora Nation, and we pay our respects to Aboriginal elders past, present and emerging.

Introducing -Jan Swam - The Wind Carries a Druid Voice (Organic Signs)

In a distant future, druidic rituals have evolved into intricate sonic algorithms, unlocking portals of consciousness. This compilation is a collection of lost transmissions—resonances emerging from digital forests and the echoes of ancient incantations. Each track serves as a key to an altered state, where shamanic past and cybernetic destiny intertwine in an eternal spell. Psychedelic textures drift through half-tempo and accelerated rhythms, weaving an auditory tapestry that dissolves the boundaries between the organic and the synthetic, the archaic and the futuristic.　
Organic Signs’ label manager Jan Swam guides us through a landscape of shifting textures, sliced open by psychedelic synths and softened by a ceaseless whisper, keeping us suspended in a hypnotic trance. 
Human Lessons premieres The Wind Carries a Druid Voice by Jan Swam from the release.

_________________________________

Vitaliy Dubree’s new album Ratio et Caritas finds the Chernogolovka-based producer stepping outside his familiar dub techno framework into a more exploratory electronic space. Known for his releases on Leipzig’s Insectorama, Dubree shifts focus here toward intelligent electronica with clear traces of Berlin School sequencing and electro-inspired rhythm design. The record explores the balance between structure and emotion, through precise sound design, pulsing low-end movement, and melodic phrasing that gradually builds narrative tension.

While still grounded in the spacious atmospheres and delay drenched textures of dub, Ratio et Caritas feels more introspective and narrative driven than Dubree’s earlier output. Each track carries subtle references to Soviet era sci-fi films, weaving archival fragments into the mix to create a sense of cultural memory and modest futurism. The result is an album that bridges studio precision with emotional resonance, less a functional dance record, more a focused study in texture, pacing, and the intersection of human and cosmic scale.
