Locre * Outset [Premiere]

New track by Hajj ( @hadji-hajj ) & Pithe ( @xxxpithexxx )! This will be included in GUN-X03, the new collaborative project between Club Late Music ( @club-late-music ) & Morsel ( @morsel-tales ). Will be out on November 20th.

Members of the GUN (Global URL Nation) community be asked to made a track with one poem as an inspiration [read below*]. The release comes with a writing zine and all proceeds for the compilation will go towards Medical Aid for Palestinians.

The album oscillates between a sombre, dynamic landscape through a selection of heart-felt ambient tracks to bass driven club rhythms, mirroring the dark melancholic yet heavenly imagery painted in the poem.


*"Never in my born days did I see such night
The day the angels put their wings to rest
Lonely feathers plucked from their backs drift politely
And nestle into cloudy swirls of grey, as bitter as the winter skies
And wither into ash from the lightning, smoke and rain 

Can you hear the angels mourning?
Can you hear them singing?
“Where is heaven 
for the heavenly”

As the faint patter of their tears reign on the curb beside me

Distant echoes 

I hear them

Here comes my messenger,
Shrouded in tarnished wings, gatekeeper of the other world
Onto a bronze key, he clings
Onto hope that we would meet again one day
He made me gatekeeper of this city
Until it’s time for me to sing along with him.

Until then, I hope I never see such night, again.

Hajj & Pithe * Watch Over Me [Premiere]

A new premiere from the upcoming double EP from Griigg ( https://soundcloud.com/griigg ). The frist part, called 'Vessels of Chaos: Celestial Tears' from which this track is part of, will be out on December 6th via MONTAGE ( https://soundcloud.com/m0ntage ) and Over My Body ( https://soundcloud.com/overmybodytw ).

Celestial Tears blends shimmering textures with vast soundscapes, distilled with ethereal winds, heart-felt melodies, and astral cries - for a blisscore contemplation of serenity to be found in impermanence and infinity.  Infused with paleofuturist imagery, they imagine new forms of communities, beliefs, rituals and worships - cherishing communion, shifting perspectives and internal transformations as ways to situate ourselves in the emptiness of existence.

It embodies the conclusion of a years-long change in his creative process for something much more raw and spontaneous, to lay new foundations for his lore and practice. As a convergence point between his previous works, it explores ways to be with the world by crafting abstract landscapes and immersive tales - seeking the sublime in chaos.

Griigg * Back to Dust We Become (One) [Premiere]

edna ( https://soundcloud.com/ednahaha ) uses deviant beats and dark and ecstatic textures to create a portal to other dimensions. Her music is like a zest of life, developed in weird, dynamic and sexy atmospheres, into which ectasis and joy appear like explosions. She explores the narrative potential of DJ sets, weaving in and out and around hard techno, breaks and tribe, choosing a direction rather than a stream. On the stage, she sculpts a weird and playful, generous black-eyed creature, often associating music with visuals, dance, and performance.

This new premiere is from a track from “Portails”, her first EP, announced for the beginning of 2025, after several single releases on compilations in 2023. As a rising DJ and producer from the queer scene of Marseille, edna’s talent is demonstrated well beyond, in European clubs and within multiple musical and scenic collaborations with artists from all over the world.

Portails, is about transcending boundaries, with each track serving as a portal to a distinct sound world populated by strange, otherworldly creatures. Musically, it navigates a landscape of cross-genre experimentation, demonstrating how a narrative can emerge through contrasting genres and sound textures. Each track taps into the same emotional core, using different sonic languages to express a unified journey.

In the hard hitting Camouflage, Claustinto’s haunting vocals, driven by a heavy bass, sharp textured artisanal FX, and a persistent nagging synth, explore the pressures of societal masking.

Claustinto created the lyrics and reworked the instrumental. Mixing and mastering took place in Submarine FM’s studio, in Blacieux, Ardèche.
