Of Paradise sublabel, Badlands, emerges from an extended slumber with a new offering from label co-founder Silent Era: Emerald Pool, a four-track EP of ambient and experimental soundscapes crafted entirely from field recordings gathered in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks during the autumn of 2024.

Stripped back and delicately nuanced, Silent Era’s sonic journey through California’s forests and mountains is both blissful and haunting – a meditative unfolding of nature’s rhythm that invites the listener to reflect on the planet and their connection to it.

Accompanied by a limited-edition photo zine with incense, Emerald Pool delivers a deeply immersive experience and signals the beginning of a new chapter of sonic experimentation from the artist.

BAD005 // Silent Era - Emerald Pool

Pokoj : Theo invite Madeleine (04.07.25)

Legendary dub techno artist Paul St. Hilaire (AKA Tikiman) announces new collaborative album, marking 10 years of Kynant Records. 

Building on the success of Paul St. Hilaire’s landmark solo album for Kynant in 2023, w/ The Producers switches up the formula to pair St. Hilaire with a different producer on each track. Referencing fellow dub techno pioneers Mark Ernestus & Moritz von Oswald’s acclaimed album w/ The Artists as Rhythm & Sound, St. Hilaire flips the concept to feature as the lone vocalist.

Over the album’s nine tracks, St. Hilaire offers a range of conscious song-writing and headtop musings, such as the spoken-word dread of “What’s This” or the sparse call-to-action of “Send Them On”. w/ The Producers is yet another essential record in St. Hilaire’s unmatched discography.

The album marks 10 years of Kynant Records, with label owner Richard Akingbehin curating an eclectic but sonically connected group of producers. These include luminaries such as Digital Mystikz boss and dubstep trailblazer Mala, or the elusive Chain Reaction artist Shinichi Atobe. They sit alongside some of the most exciting names in recent electronic music - Batu, Gavsborg, Azu Tiwaline, Priori, Cousin, Russell E.L. Butler, Aurora Halal and DJ G - all of whom bring different elements of dub techno into their productions.

w/ The Producers finds Kynant Records bridging the original voice of dub techno with the genre’s new wave. It’s a statement of intent from the label, which began 10 years ago with deep, hypnotic techno and has veered gradually towards more dubwise sounds.

C2 Paul St. Hilaire & Azu Tiwaline - Let The Night Start

Kamoun has developed a signature sound where percussive intensity meets atmospheric depth, blending polyrhythmic drums with modern electronic textures. His fascination for traditional tribal percussion, paired with influences from minimalist field recordings and British bass culture, generates a hypnotic energy that resonates with the raw power of contemporary electronic music.

On 'Wave Prophecy', his first 12" on Dance Data, Kamoun showcases his distinct range - from deep tribal grooves to high-energy dance tracks, Kamoun fuses rhythmic complexity with avant-garde sensibility, forming a unique and addictive sonic palette.

As If the full 5 tracks weren't already enough of a treat, we've also got a fresh remix from our friend Sepehr, who takes La Panthère to a tantalizing place with his 'pantheress' rendition.

It’s our pleasure to feature our friend @tangeladj for the 32nd episode of the Herbarium mix series. She put together a magical trippy yet playful mix, we’re in love with its dynamic.  🌳

Here’s a little insight into Tangela’s choice of a plant as a synaesthetic base for her mix -
Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) or kallara as referred to by the Bundjalung People in Northern NSW is a particularly special native tree. They grow in swampy environments next to bodies of water. I have fond memories soaking in tea tree lakes in the northern rivers, stained brown by the leaves stewing, precious oil seeping into the water. For centuries the Aboriginal people have used this plant for medicinal purposes as a natural antiseptic and tea tree lakes were often sacred women’s spaces used in birthing ceremonies. This shrubby tree doesn’t scream for attention amongst the vibrant flora but its significance runs deep, a swampy healer and spiritual protector. This mix is a sensory soak in the soothing, tingly river, dripping with kallara magic.

About Tangela 

Tangela’s style of aural storytelling is as distinct as it is varied. She guides the listener through deep, subby, subterranean worlds, encouraging listeners to float up through spacious, textural soundscapes full of unexpected turns, all with a nimble and playful touch. You’ll find yourself wondering how it is you got here from where you began.

Tangela’s meteoric rise through the underground scene finds its origins in her weekly radio slot on Sydney’s iconic FBi radio 94.5FM, currently in it’s fifth year of broadcasting all things “squelchy, wobbly, gooey, twisty”. Her signature style has translated from the airwaves to dance floors across many of Australia’s cult clubs, DIY warehouses and bush raves, including her own as founder of both dstreet and Minutiae Festival. Her record label Oomycota pushes into the experimental realm of techno, platforming emerging artists from Australia and beyond. 

Alongside curating and throwing DIY events, she is heavily involved in her local community, organising ‘Dance Class’, a series of BIPOC & FLINTA DJ workshops and radio mentorship.

Herbarium No 032 - Tangela - Melaleuca Alternifolia

“Drumbeats of the Unseen” is a sonic gateway carved from primal drum force and deep trance rhythms between 4–8 Hz. There are no words here—only vibration, momentum, and the ancient heartbeat that pulls you inward.

Each track is a journey: from the heavy earthbound thud to the accelerating ritual drive and the soft descent back into stillness. The sound breathes, trembles, and opens a space where you can dissolve, travel, and reassemble yourself on the other side.

This isn’t background music.
It’s music that grabs you, holds you, and leads you.
Music that pulses in sync with something ancient and unspoken within.

River of Steps 2

ghost tears  .5

An immense and terrifying drone reverberates through the hive cathedral. 
Sub rumbles, chitin crackles, and monstrous exhales conjure sacred alien majesty.
