Ever since our first release back in 2023, we’ve always tried to push out electronic music which does one simple thing - takes our love of sci-fi aesthetics and melts it into sonic form, irrespective of genre, sound, mood or anything else. Now with this aesthetic cemented in our first 5 releases, we feel it is time to drop our first compilation.

We’re proud to present Multi-Source, a 14-track assemblage covering the whole helix of experimental electronic music. The result is a very wild ride through an array of styles and BPMs, and it does exactly what we’ve always tried to do - put aside genre or mood, and focus on extreme, sound-design forward explorations of sci-fi aesthetics. It’s a celebration of the insanely broad range of music we’ve managed to fit into the Plasma Sources sound so far, and an observance of all the potential the imprint has to come.

There’s offerings from the full label family - we welcome back Cortical, Beton Brut, unearth, NIQH, J-Shadow and label boss HYPNA, who each present their signature laser-guided takes on club music. We also welcome a slew of some of our favourite artists right now - Ziyiz, Stolen Velour, Prior Self, Klahrk and Atrice highlighting the light, skittering side of our aesthetic, whilst Guide, Galtier, Bonebrokk and Reinartz illuminate the dark, deep and noise-tinged aspect of Plasma Sources.

As we look forward to the rest of 2025 and our future as a label, we offer up Multi-Source as a confirmation of our key aesthetics - juxtaposing dark and light, balancing experimentalism and dance floor sensibilities and interweaving sci-fi and biologically infused sound design.

martyrX - PRETTYBOY (Despina Remix)

Shelter presents “Aveen” — the third installation in our genre-agnostic compilation series.

To follow up 2023’s “Feyrûse” and 2024’s “Mizgîn”, we have curated an emotionally charged collection of 17 tracks that press against the debilitating realities of life in the mid-2020s. The title stems from a Persian word meaning “pure” or “transparent” — signaling a search for unfiltered and sincere artistic expression in the midst of a social climate filled with smoke and mirrors.

“Aveen” features Shelter’s most international line-up to date, with music from 18 artists spread across 13 countries and 5 continents displaying their signature sounds shaped by their local scenes and cultures. 

Flowing through mutated shades of ambient, hypnagogic pop, trance, leftfield techno, neo-perreo, and GQOM — the compilation connects the myriad influences and mind-states of electronic musicians from nearly every corner of the world and tethers them together into a cathartic 17-track excursion.

Digitonica, Lujiachi - Xorath [OMB015]

Xorath is a two-track EP by Digitonica & Lujiachi, built around sharp, driving percussion and a dense, detailed sonic language. The rhythm grabs hold from the very start, pulling into a state where repetition becomes trance and structure gives way to instinct. With a ritual energy running through both tracks — not ceremonial, but physical, urgent. Elements of sci-fi sound design are embedded deep in the mix, not drawing attention, but shaping the atmosphere from within. The sound shifts gradually, drawing deeper into a darker space, where movement becomes a way to forget, or to endure.

Written in response to the tension of the present, Xorath doesn’t seek resolution. It stays inside the feeling — steady, precise, and quietly consuming.

Listen to 'DESPOTE/FROST (Rumina Remix)' by SMT3X feat. Slikback taken from 'GODSPEED Remix' out on April 23rd

Pre-order: https://smt3x.bandcamp.com/album/godspeed-remix

With GODSPEED Remix, SMT3X invites a cutting-edge roster of avant-garde artists to reimagine the tracks from their Godspeed EP, expanding its sonic landscape across deconstructed bass, fragmented rhythms, and experimental textures.

Rumina infuses DESPOTE/FROST with her signature tribal energy, pushing its sacred intensity even further into darkness. Layering relentless high-speed kicks and a deconstructed darbuka, she transforms the track into a ritualistic club weapon. 

Each remix deepens SMT3X's sonic universe, propelling their exploration of contemporary post-club music into uncharted dimensions.
