For our fifth Various Artists, we're exploring the everchanging waters of broken beats and bass music. Compiling producers from Czech Republic, Georgia, and the UK, Broken Gills brings to the front our labels' bass face, full of grit, but also with a cheeky smile you get when the system is on point.

ICI MTN is a live performer and producer, member of the Franco-Dutch collective Plor. Through his creations, he develops a hypnotic and melancholic universe with a deep, minimal and hybrid techno aesthetic.

Close to sound creation and electroacoustic music, he maintains a porous link with these influences, which naturally lead him to integrate a sensitive, poetic dimension into his music.

He considers this first release as a very intimate world, in which he has tried to place all the tracks likely to introduce the listener to his meditative vision of dance music.

The intention is to embrace a wide range of aesthetics, such as hypnotic techno, deep percussive rhythms or mental grooves, while focusing on complex atmospheres and textures. It's a notion that brings a lot of sensations as a listener, so he wanted to transcribe them as best as possible in this debut project.

About Waitomo VA:

"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."

Eunoia - or beautiful thinking - a fourth DE RIO compilation reflecting on the accelerating life pace where sound assists the mindwork and gravitates ideas borne across fragile imaginations. A massive 17-track сompilation is featuring rising stars and boundary-pushing talents, artists whose creativity is determining the sound of the future electronic scene like Feral, Pianeti Sintetici, Vel, Alpha Tracks, and many more, a novelty substratum in its spectral variety. Loyal to endless sonic exploration for the dance floor of the present future, this release showcases the multi-dimensional soundscapes at the core of techno’s nonconformist spirit. Hear Aratak’s rhythmic pull of absolute traction, dive into Dwelve13's comforting bass and avant-garde piano, feel Answer's bleep integrity, lose yourself in Plate's circular patterns, journey through Wild Moss' psytrance reformations, and slow down for a second with Lenti Sistemi’s leftfield basis and fine-detailed ambience.

Solma - Rolling Silk

We are glad to present the debut LP album from an artist within the Organic Signs family: @solmadj . One year ago, the French artist planted the seed of this sonic journey with his set at The Memoir by Hypnus Records. Now, that seed has fully blossomed, unveiling a collection of new creations. Eight tracks that define his sonic universe, where DnB, halftime, and tribe intertwine in an atmosphere of hypnotic textures and pulsating synths.

The journey begins with Wetlands, drawing us into a mist-laden landscape where solitary birds glide through the sky and the dense humidity clings to every breath. In the dim light, a deep, enveloping sound spreads through the air, merging with electrified gusts of wind. As we move forward, distant echoes of other life forms emerge, thriving in the space between water and earth.

The first heartbeats stir in Mud. Continuing the path set by its predecessor while subtly layering new elements, the track immerses us in mystical soundscapes, unlocking portals to uncharted dimensions. Percussive fragments, scattered across the stereo field, begin to surface tentatively, paving the way for Clay, where the hypnotic progression deepens.

With Spores, the rhythm evolves into 4x4, maintaining the ethereal essence that has permeated the album from the start. Percussion elements phase in and out, leading seamlessly into Trimitic, a stripped-down yet profound exploration of minimalist Tribe.

The album builds in intensity, reaching its peak with Fungal Network, an electrifying burst of energy crafted to set the dancefloor ablaze. Then, The Consciousness of Plants slows the pace once more, introducing a whispering voice and a synth that oscillates fluidly, pulling us into its meditative sway.

The journey culminates with Reset, where the tempo eases, and the narrative comes full circle. The echoes of birds return, this time illuminated by the clarity of a new dawn. With Liquid DnB rhythms and textures, Solma concludes his debut album with a farewell that lingers in the mind, resonating long after the final note fades.
