Very few electronic music artists can boast of spanning a wide musical spectrum as the UK producer Calum Lee aka Paleman / Fresnel Lens.Always emphasizing the percussive side (advantage of being a jazz drummer), and always with an innovative spirit, the releases of this authentic sound designer oscillate between the most abstract / experimental electronica and minimalist club focused techno, from atmospheric and introspective works to the sickest dubstep / bass music.

As at 30D we declare ourselves absolute fans of Calum’s music, we had a clear obligation to ask him to join our catalogue, specifically for the EyesHave It sub-label (we had especial interest in his interpretation of broken, dark and industrial techno). His answer was direct and unmistakable:”I’ve sent you a lot of pieces that fit with your label vision and the imagery that we love.. I’ve been studying existentialism a lot recently, so these tunes are a reflection of my headspace at the moment!”. A true declaration of intent!

And here it is, five perfect examples of obsessive tribal madness, overexciting synthetic broken beats and a lot of rawness. A pure musical gem.

Samet is proud to present its 4th release made by a Strasbourg-based artist Itako. During the past few years we have been witnessing his musical development, organically evolving from EBM influenced sound with a touch of bass and broken beat music, constantly moving forward his own unique sound. 

On this release, Itako brings six dirty club tracks (including a remix made by Rusmir and a collaboration track with Vod Kasat) wildly spanning between BPM, going from industrial downtempo all the way to pumped up DNB/half-tempo infused tracks.

Dark Way

The Luminous Descent is a cosmic oratorio chronicling the fall, transformation, and rebirth of a star-soul. It begins high in the trembling architecture of heaven and plummets through ruptured light into the depths of a crater older than memory. Across twelve movements and a final ascending coda, the piece follows a sacred cycle: collapse, revelation, purification, and return.

The journey opens with the catastrophe of The Orbit Breaks, where ancient equilibrium fails and gravity claims the star. Through the Rupture drags the listener through the torn mantle of the cosmos, into a corridor of pressure where sound bends like molten metal. In Where the Veil Cools to Glass, the descent slows long enough for the star-soul to touch the dimming membrane between realms, condensing its radiance into crystalline form. Halo of Dark and Light reveals a suspended equilibrium—half illumination, half shadow—preparing the soul for what waits below.

With Canticle from the Hollow Sky, faint hymns echo from unreachable altitudes, fading as the soul sinks further. Pressure Cathedral marks the entry into the core-chamber where cosmic weight becomes sacred architecture, every chord a stone column forged from collapse. The Starbone Reliquary uncovers what remains when brilliance calcifies: relics of ancient light preserved in the dark.

Touching the Crater Floor brings the soul to stillness, where impact becomes silence and silence becomes revelation. The Silence That Remembers Fire awakens memory—a distant echo of the star’s earliest light. As the soul ascends toward Shoreline of the Last Radiance, its form becomes diffuse, rejoining the luminous boundary between ruin and renewal.

The final movement, The Luminous Return, reclaims the upward path. The star-soul rises through the strata of its own unraveling, transformed not back to what it was, but into what it must become.

Then comes the coda.

Ember Throne Ascension erupts like a final breath of defiance—a molten electric guitar solo over a cathedral of cosmic sound. It is the spark that refuses extinction, the last ember erupting into brilliance before dissolving into the quiet beyond creation. The oratorio ends uplifted, electrified, ascending: not a fall, but a coronation in fire.
