Gold Leaf Forever (KAVARI Mashup)

Tedium is modernity in the waiting phase. A longed-for moment of stasis.
A compilation of 23 tracks that shows us a rather wide spectrum including diverse manifestations of modern electronics. Boredom and neurosis that hold hands and become a chameleon-like whole.

Sometimes this combination draws its essence from obscure ambient demotivating, other times steals the body of enormous noisy and granular flows.

An emblematic sound vessel capable of containing everything from the sharpest electro-acoustic resonances to the most deformed deteriorations of hip hop imagery.

The Helsinki-based multidisciplinary artist Exmantera (Daniil Mantere, they/them) https://soundcloud.com/exmantera is one of the prominent names in the Finnish underground digital electronic scene, and they’re known for their abrasive, knife-sharp outings where crispy sound design meets clangy dramatic tension. After hosting a remix on last year’s “Ross 308 EP” by the also Finnish artist Comastasis https://paynomindtous.bandcamp.com/track/ross-308-exmantera-remix, we’re thrilled to share with you their latest work “LETHALITY” EP.

“LETHALITY” is composed of seven tracks and comes with an eerie, obscure artwork by Exmantera and uzâ a’amo instagram.com/uzaaamo/ as well as two collaborative tracks with Nova Caine @n0vad0sed and Yaokai @yaokai. As evoked by its title, the record is unforgiving in its sonic violence, aggressive distortion, and clangorous instinctiveness. Episodes inspired by the finest instrumental grime are followed by ear-splitting bursts, metallic percussions, glitching artifacts, and sinister melodies. These raw ingredients are molded into eventful tracks that immediately capture the listener despite the unrestrained rhythmic violence, guiding them down a treacherous path of digital corrosivity. In other words, Exmantera encapsulates spectacular ferocity and immaculate bloodlust in each of the compositions, molding the elements in the ultimate sound transposition of the impulse to maw, gnaw, and kill.

The album CLEMENCY holds exceptional significance for CHARITY SsB, as it represents not only a music collection but also his bold venture and evolution in the realm of music production. This album signifies his transformation from a rapper into a versatile music producer. Moreover, it marks his first formal album after years of collaboration with the renowned Shanghai electronic music label GENOME 6.66 Mbp.

CLEMENCY comprises ten diverse tracks, each capturing CHARITY SsB's life reflections and musical insights at various points in time. From 2020's Only One and The Meaning of Life to Wood House and Zhuangzi created during Shanghai's lockdown in 2022, these tracks span several years, showcasing his creative depth and rich emotional world.

The album's title, CLEMENCY, embodies a profound philosophy. CHARITY SsB believes that in a world filled with desire, conflict, and war, and within the complexities of societal systems, music is a divine gift of mercy and solace to humanity. Music creation is his sole pathway to experiencing true freedom and spiritual liberation. It holds significant meaning in his life, serving as his soul's sanctuary and the pillar of his spirit.

Many tracks in the album, such as the nearly ten-minute-long Wood House and the ambient-rich Courier, display intricate segment connections and rich musical layers. These songs resemble unique journeys, with each journey offering distinct life meanings. Through these musical works, CHARITY SsB conveys his profound insights into life and his boundless passion for music. To him, music is like a utopia of the spiritual world, providing him with endless solace and inspiration.

Tufi & Oliver Torr join forces for Tied With Wire, their debut on WARE.

Tied with Wire is a slowly cooked collaborative project. In this EP, Tufi revisits sketches from 2019, reshaping and morphing them with Oliver Torr into adventurous club music, full of twists and turns. Drawing from Tufi's multi-genre influences, the seeds of his Argentinian cultural background, and Oliver's precise sound design, evolving textures, and harsh atmosphere, the result is a cohesive four-track EP, where the weird and the familiar become one piece tied with wire.

Partly completed during a week-long studio session in Athens with an organic approach, the project reflects an ongoing learning process—a fertile ground for experimentation without any time pressure. In an age where reality is accelerated, prevailed by anxiety, individualism, competition, and the relentless race against time, this EP aims to decelerate time. A break and a reminder of the urge of collective spirit.
Adding to this collective sense, the duo invited long-time friend Bungalovv to conclude the project with the artwork.

Midnight Surrender — from the album Fading Colours, produced by Enaque & Nujord — is a deep house and melancholic pop track that embodies the quiet beauty of giving in to the night. With its lush textures, warm basslines, and emotive melodies, the song captures the feeling of release, vulnerability, and the power of letting go under the cover of darkness.

The hypnotic rhythm of Midnight Surrender carries the listener into a dreamlike atmosphere where time slows down and emotions take over. Blending deep house grooves with the raw intimacy of melancholic pop, the track creates a soundscape that feels both cinematic and deeply personal.

Perfect for late-night drives, reflective playlists, or moments of solitude, “Midnight Surrender” is a song that resonates far beyond the first listen. Its combination of emotional depth and subtle electronic elegance makes it a standout track within the Fading Colours album — a project that showcases Enaque & Nujord’s ability to merge atmosphere, storytelling, and rhythm into timeless music.
