INDIVIDUAL DROPS by ICE_EYES is a cold-blooded showcase of dynamic sound organization, where sputtering shreds of sound cluster into larger scale rhythm units, before shattering into new formations once again. Sounds here are sliced, combed, atomized and always performing new acrobatics around the indeterminate no man's land of the rhythm-pitch transition zone, yet somehow never straying too far from advanced dancefloor-ready syncopations. 
The tonal medium of these broken rhythmic arrangements immediately suggests something trembling with cutting edge technological infrastructure, where harmonically dense pads evoke a long forgotten IDM cgi landscape, where hybridized sounds rattle through an elaborate piping system. Warbled mumblings remind us this music is still situated in the realm of the human, but one where every transmission first passes through a chain of paranoia, interception, re-encodings and subversive content barricades. 
The album is finished off with each track rearranged once again by a handful of masterful remixers. 

ICE_EYES about INDIVIDUAL DROPS 
“In seeking of new challenges, our latest work Individual Drops, is focusing on new evolving sonic material from a more microscopic point of view, by integrating more obvious granular synthesis ideas. The purpose is to create a new formula that works both in sculpting sound design, and the same time respects our dystopian orientation as an archetype. At this point, we engage more intensive, ever changing, faintly anorgasmic, sonic motifs, that work as a guidebook to an overall fragmented picture. 
Arcadia, as an art form that can be used as a metaphor of utopia, is always present at the background of that image, holding all parts together, like an anchor in a turbulent sea, resembling the Argo floating on these angry waters. Space or Khoros is a variable of time balancing from small to large places, but not in an paternal way. Granular synthesis at its core, forming each sound in a discrete way, like a drop of rain falling in a pit of clear water.”

Edited Arts is launching ‘Endorphins’, the first in a new series of charity compilations. Endorphins features contributions by Cassius Select, Ccontrary, DJ TESS, Emily Glass, furious styles, Hard Fantasy, Jaeho Hwang, Jasper Jarvis, Lighght, d0us, Shelley Parker and terribilis.

‘Endorphins’ is a compilation of pre and post cathartic visions & sounds. Embodying the alleviating potential of club music, 12 artists have made sonic references to the happy hormone that acts to relieve pain. Vigorous drums, shy wubs, disobedient trance, lifting breaks, and reclining interludes work towards the unrestrained mindset of this collection. This is the first release from a series that recreates psycho-sensory states of happiness, or the lack thereof.

Profits from this release will go to Black Minds Matter and Drake Music.

Lighght - Excruciating Brightness (Ode To DJ Netflex)

An iridescent hope; an imagined reality. ‘Unsleep’ is the debut collaboration between NYC’s @laenzzz & Tokyo luminary @tsumutsumu. As Laenz’s falsetto vocals dance in the reflections of crystalline club textures, the EP presents an experimental dreamscape melted from 2020’s charred blossom.

 ‘fantasma’ pulls us deeper into an altered consciousness: as concrete club rhythms bounce in the VR echo chamber. 


“Imagine a pair of chopsticks submerged into a glass of water. They appear to be bent by refraction of light. While veritably straight, this encounter gives credence to the mental image of curved chopsticks. At times, we process this temporality into a dream state, a safeguard against a dissipating world. Yet when transience is incongruous with our wakeful states, dreams, clung to for their impermanence, uncover a reality that is just as illusory. Whether a spectre or a dream, perceptual experience exists. As dreams and reality clash, they create frictional heat, dissolving a once tenuous boundary. The sensation that differentiates the two is an uncalibrated compass. While this blurred landscape sits through an eclipse, the future becomes backlit with promise, a contour of dissimulated simulation. The dream, rather than a speculative retreat, becomes the illumination. To unsleep is to undo is to unlearn, a chance at reversibility and a sense of mutable permanence.”

Aperture is the debut album from Hyph11E.

Holes are ontologically parasitic - they are always within something else and cannot exist in isolation. Holes accompany us throughout our lives, dilative and devoured, fillable but indispensable. On one hand, they are the driven force for evolution, on the other hand, holes are also the layer of scab that signals growth. Without tearing, cutting and gluing, we cannot create or eliminate a hole. Topologists use the number of holes to distinguish geometric objects. In the same method, in the closed circuit of Encrust and Erosion, we became idiographic individuals.

In her new album, Hyph11E guides the light to travel within and through the hole, and it becomes Aperture.
