'Noone St. Encounter' and all associated works were created, produced and compiled on unceded Aboriginal land. 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.

‘Noone St. Encounter’ sonically depicts ex-terrestrial-isms that stem from an obsession of other worldly life forms. Rxex utilises modular synthesis to create atmospheres that are both biologically familiar and alien to the human ear. Probing beyond the outer orbits of the sound-solar system, Rxex incorporates psy-fi fantasy bass-abductionism to create a unique and varied sound that is informed by a distinctive modular synthesis. 

The release features an excellent remix by Naarm based Homelander that operates as a more functional dancefloor track to round out the EP.

Don't Look Back Just Breathe (Homelander Remix)

@antiverseworld ,  the new event dedicated to mental dancefloor oriented music taking place once a month in Carbone club (Paris), and curated by the former Concrete (Paris) founder/A&R Brice Coudert, is launching its own label Antiverse records.

The very first release of the imprint, Mental Tools vol 1., is an extended 10 tracks EP produced by RAAR, showing all the spectrum of sounds that you could experiment at Antiverse, from Minimal Techno to Psy Trance or Bass Music, but always with a minimalistic approach and a strong potential to bend minds and drag them into very deep waters.

With several tracks that reached millions of streams, Raar is both acclaimed for his Techno bangers and impressive Djsets, as well as for his talents as a sound designer and producer of a more IDM-inspired sound that made him release, among other things, an EP on Lith Dolina (AD 93's sublabel), and see one of those tracks ranked among the 100 best of 2021 by WARP-affiliated platform, BLEEP.

The 10-tracks pack on Antiverse records is as the same time a piece of music that could be listened in one go like an album, but also a very strong arsenal of musical weapons for Djs.

Premiere: Abo Abo - Close To Ymir

A fierce introduction to the world of Oomycota, Confluence is the debut long form release presented by Naarm based bluhol (aka Loïcc).

Building upon bluhol’s debut liveset performed at Minutiae Festival, held on Wiradjuri Land in NSW during the new year cycle 23. Confluence represents a conscious shift in the Australian electronica soundscape, drawing deep inspiration from the vast bush land lining the eastern coast and paying homage to the unique nature and phenomenons that exist there.

bluhol, previously producing under Loïcc, is a sound artist based in Naarm, who’s roots are firmly planted in the Northern Tablelands of NSW. They intricately weave together the organic and synthetic, exploring the juxtaposition of nature’s fluidity with the structured rigidity of urban landscapes. With a keen focus on technical sound design and modular synthesis, bluhol crafts immersive auditory experiences that transport listeners into realms both melancholic and unsettling. Their compositions serve as a medium for contemplation, inviting audiences to reflect on the interplay between their past and future selves.

Oomycota operates on unceded Gadigal land. Confluence was written and produced in Naarm. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of these lands and extend that acknowledgement to the Anaiwan people, the custodians of the lands where bluhol originates and draws inspiration from.

We recognise the immense privilege in being able to create on these lands, and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.

SQ1: Okareh
A constellation of sonic spells shaped by intuition, rhythm, and deep time.
Beginning with a breath of the cosmos — a slow unfolding of space and feeling —
drifting into grooves that ground and enchant, where the earth speaks in pulses.
Rain speaks in rhythms. Shadows pulse.
Time folds inward, reshaping the senses.
