London based label Natural Selection present their forthcoming release in the form of a 4-track 12" EP, courtesy of Swarm Intelligence, entitled "Radiance". Radiance is an impeccably crafted experimental Techno EP, which redefines genre parameters.

Born in Dublin and now firmly based in Berlin, Simon Hayes aka Swarm Intelligence has cemented his place in the Techno underground with critically acclaimed LPs and EPs on labels such as 47, Instruments of Discipline and Voitax. He returns to Natural Selection, after releasing his track "Generative" on the label's latest VA release; "Natural Selection: Selected Works Vol. 1" in 2024. Featuring amongst an extensive list of heavyweight label affiliates such as SHXCXCHCXSH, Charlton, ASEC, Nørbak, MAEDON, Annie Hall & more. After further connections with the label via live performances at their regular label nights at FOLD London, it was inevitable that Simon would be invited to release a solo EP on their imprint.

His distinctive sound comes from over a decade of releases spanning multiple genres and tempos and oscillates between rhythmic noise, tense atmospherics, uncompromising levels of distortion, and stark, astute beats. This resolutely non-conformist approach to his productions has earned him a reputation as a true trailblazer in the realm of Techno and has led him to perform at some of the world's finest institutions including Berghain, Tresor and Basement NY.

For "Radiance", Swarm intelligence delves further into the sonic unknown, presenting a bold evolution in his uncompromising vision of Techno. Deep, fragmented textures form the backdrop for thunderous, distorted rhythms and IDM-laden drums and percussion, fused with meticulously designed cinematic soundscapes and powerful low-end muscle. Fierce, unrelenting, and deeply conceptual, all rules and boundaries are smashed to pieces and all tracks are equally suitable for blasting through the world's biggest club systems and rigs as they are for home listening."

Radiance EP [Natural Selection]

47 revisits German artist OAKE’s seminal track “Paysage Dépaysé” in a special remix EP.

OAKE have established themselves as flagbearers for dark electronica in the years pursuant to their EP on Downwards in 2015, making cinematic dance music for imprints across the experimental-industrial axis—including a solo effort on 47 in 2019. After a series of standout early releases, the artists put out one of their canon-defining tracks, “Paysage Dépaysé,” as part of the Monad XXIV EP for Stroboscopic Artefacts. Now, it receives the remix treatment on 47029 with three dynamic and radically divergent approaches to OAKE’s atmospheric and deeply melancholic inaugural work, which will be pressed to vinyl for the first time.

The newly remastered original song is a post-industrial dirge that weaves OAKE singer Konstanze Bathseba Zippora’s otherworldly vocals over a noisy mothswarm of electronics, but label veteran Killawatt revs the first version’s subdued threnody up to a dance floor-friendly techstepper. On the B-Side, remixer Lemna uses a more restrained style, enshrouding the instrumentals under a martial sashay of tribal breakbeats, while 47 newcomer Quelza brings the collection to a ruminative close by bending and breaking Zippora’s virtuosic solo through a latticework of glitched-out synths and percussive stabs. The entire package will be available for purchase on June 24th, 2022

PREMIERE: Swarm Intelligence - Inflate [NS008]

Artist: SSTROM
Title: 'Uppehåll Från Framåt'
Label: Rösten
Cat. #: ROSTEN11
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Release: 24th September,​ ​2025
Pre order: https://sstrom.bandcamp.com/album/avvik

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new SSTROM' gem on 'Rösten'.

With a decade-spanning discography, several bands and half of SHXCXCHCXSH this restless creator presents himself. 
SSTROM embodies the calmly bold. 
Building a version of the modern disco that nobody asked for. 
SSTROM is the capsule that shocks and comforts, gathers and spark a new thought. 
The robust shell acts as a camouflage for the wild and wicked bleakness of the music he produces.

If the contemporary club urge could be described as a helmet waiting to brake, this experience is what you are after; surprising, uplifting and changing.

With ‘Avvik’ SSTROM carves out 6 somatically clear scenes articulating diverse textures, densities and states of aggregation. 
The constructions evolves as fractious rhythms strives for another order. 
Trial and errors bungys droughty, moist, stiff and tensile. 
SSTROM forces us to flicker in twitches between layers and dimensions beyond the given three.
