Only Now x JaiJiu - Rebel Cry Pt.1

Shelter presents “Aveen” — the third installation in our genre-agnostic compilation series.

To follow up 2023’s “Feyrûse” and 2024’s “Mizgîn”, we have curated an emotionally charged collection of 17 tracks that press against the debilitating realities of life in the mid-2020s. The title stems from a Persian word meaning “pure” or “transparent” — signaling a search for unfiltered and sincere artistic expression in the midst of a social climate filled with smoke and mirrors.

“Aveen” features Shelter’s most international line-up to date, with music from 18 artists spread across 13 countries and 5 continents displaying their signature sounds shaped by their local scenes and cultures. 

Flowing through mutated shades of ambient, hypnagogic pop, trance, leftfield techno, neo-perreo, and GQOM — the compilation connects the myriad influences and mind-states of electronic musicians from nearly every corner of the world and tethers them together into a cathartic 17-track excursion.

El Ángel Exterminador - Hierba Retorcida

Seamlessly shaking Hybrid Club foundations with diverse influences such as Electro-House, Jersey, Grime, Dembow, and Baile Funk, each track is engineered to evoke introspection (and fun) through a cathartic, hedonistic dance experience.

“Party Handbag“ is a testament to papa wkd's vision, a promising new voice hailing from Scotland's dynamic queer club scene, shaping the present/future of electronic music.

Memory Index 3035 is part of an ongoing series of sonic explorations that will eventually become an EP. In this piece, I continue to delve into the psychoacoustics of noise modulated by rhythm, and how this tension creates a perceptual need for melody. What fascinates me most is that these melodies don’t actually exist — they emerge from each listener’s unique auditory universe, built through personal memory and perception.

Microhm is the experimental electronic music project of Mexican artist Leslie García. Her work fuses electroacoustic and electronics, with avant-garde sound design, creating immersive compositions that explore rhythm, distortion, and psychoacoustics. With releases on labels like Infinite Machine and Terminal, Microhm has carved out a distinct voice in the experimental club scene. Her performances and DJ sets blend emotional intensity with conceptual depth, offering deep sonic experiences. Microhm is a laboratory of sound where technology, affect, and speculation converge.

Sin Afuera (“Without Outside”) is the new collaborative EP from Chilean producer @Imaabs, label manager of NAAFI and cofounder of Máquina Simple, and @OtherIslands, a vocalist and producer from London’s underground club scene. Both based in Mexico City, the two artists share a close creative partnership shaped by a mutual interest in exploring the limits of global electronic music.

The EP’s title refers to the myth of closed systems—those that define themselves by casting an outside as dissident, migrant, or simply noise, and enforcing its exclusion. Through hybridity, dissonance, and distortion, the record traces the contours of this outside, imagining other ways of being in the world.

Released via NAAFI, the four tracks draw on and destabilize the rhythmic logics of dembow, baile funk, grime, dancehall, reggaeton, and jungle. Frenetic percussion and glistening synths meet expansive sound design: ASMR flickers, field recordings, and fragments of unintelligible speech bleed through swung grooves and shimmering textures. The result is a sound that is luminous and tense, shot through with longing and evoking a space that feels at once intimate and yet out of reach.

I tried some different beats and offbeat claps/snares/hihats in this one to make it a bit more interesting and less straightforward. The sidechain melody part seems like a total Bicep rip off but that was unintentional. I just liked the way it sounded and during the making I didn’t really notice it. I’ve used the Monomy synth plugin for this song. It’s a very nice plugin with great sounds. As for the last songs I made I again used some Hainbach “Landfill Totems” sounds by Spitfire Audio. I also used Carbon 2 with Reaktor and some strings and trumpets from Labs by Spitfire Audio. I simply can’t get away from all the nice and good sounding options Spitfire Audio offers. Off course I also had to use my one of my favourites effects; Camel Crusher and ValhallaSupermassive. All in all I liked this one enough to put it on Soundcloud. The picture is some weird cloud formation we saw from out of our bedroom and I took some photo’s of it. With some simple filters it almost looks as something out of this world.
