deep deep dark techno

We are back again with a beautiful contribution to @instinktlab's newest VA with production collab from Laima Adelaide & Reto. 'Dust Static Absence ' is a subtle soundscape dances through rhythmic ambiance, touching gently on deeper techno textures with raw sounds and developing sequences

"The second release on our sub-label BLENDE HUB marks the closing chapter of a journey. As the first various artist compilation from our platform, it features 11 tracks by producers from Berlin, Moscow, Tbilisi, Yerevan, Bern, Glasgow, Würzburg, St. Petersburg, and Shanghai.

Each contribution is rooted in personal connections and stories collected through years of travel and shared experiences. This VA brings together artists who’ve all found their place in our flows of life -proving once more that music is a universal language.

From broken hearts and personal struggles to uplifting support and artistic unity, this release concludes a phase of global connections we made personally on our musical path and opens a new personal chapter for us - one of collective expression across the underground electronic scene worldwide.'

The 𝙰𝚛𝚝 𝙱𝚎𝚒 𝚃𝚘𝚗 @art-bei-ton team is very excited to present the selection from the 'Open Call' project we ran this year. Our initial intention was to feature 7 artists to celebrate our 7th anniversary, but after receiving 92 amazing tracks, we decided to release 15 of them!

Since its creation in 2018, Art Bei Ton has been holding space for many emerging talents to express their vision of trippy and hypnotic sounds.
Curating diverse international artists through our events, podcast series, and label releases, we always aim to discover new DJs and producers from around the globe.

RTNH - Session2 
Sessions [LR069 / Lett Records]

Produced by Rati Baramadze aka RTNH
Mastered by Lett Records
Artwork by Natalia Sutidze
Released by Lett Records from Lyon, France
Release Date: September 05th, 2025

"Sessions" is a collection of live recordings by RTNH, captured in real time during the creation of his performance sound designs. Each track preserves the raw, unedited flow of a live session, where decisions happen in the moment. Each piece is built on the foundation of looping — not as static repetition, but as a living, evolving form. Through continuous and nuanced manipulation of sound parameters, these loops expand beyond linear time, unfolding with a sense of progression that defies a clear beginning or end.

Paul Rêve & Solarythm - Snakes and Horses [Virtual Forest Records]

Mwamwa is self-discovery through music creation, a laboratory of unpredictable sound experimentation where complex patterns, generative synthesis techniques and asymmetrical structures would be present, as well as compositional resources, counterpoint and irregular time signatures; looking to achieve an ethereal style with techno, jungle and idm predominance, but also exploring many other possibilities.

Fragments Of Dawn VA Vol.2

Focus

Polygonia - Focus [DAYBREAK]

ALBUM BY PSYNOBODY ¬ SONIC SHAMANIC

Somewhere beyond speed, beyond sound—
in a place where light and darkness swirl into each other—
there exists a presence known as Nobody Sonic.
He doesn’t run; he vibrates—with frequencies pulsing like a psychedelic rhythm echoing through the void.
Every oscillation sends out waves of blue-violet energy;
energy that glows like neon one moment and collapses into shadow the next.

Nobody Sonic wanders through a vast, dark dimension—
a place where sounds are shattered, fragmented like an old tape hissing and glitching on rewind.
He longs to break through this darkness;
to slip between the cold, distorted frequencies and reach the pure light beyond.
But each time he gets close, a wave of silence pulls everything inward…
a silence that seems to rise from within him, from the emptiness of being nobody.

Inside him, a swirling energy keeps spinning—
an energy trying to transform from “not existing” into “being.”
It’s as if Nobody Sonic is a missing musical note;
a note that, if found, would complete the song of the universe.
So he keeps searching for the right frequency—
the one resonance that could realign his fractured identity
and carry him from dark waves into luminous ones.

They say that if someone, in music or imagination, produces a frequency that matches his vibration,
Nobody Sonic appears for a moment—
glowing, trembling, unseen yet undeniably real.
Because ultimately, he wants only one thing:
for someone to hear his wave.

5. Sonic Shamanic - Rising From the Ashes 156 MAS

Born from a year of experimentation and reflection, Yasei's debut album on Optic Portal emerged in an off-grid studio in the Spanish mountains near the sea, where living in harmony with nature shaped both process and sound. Tested on the dancefloor yet conceived in solitude, "Hanakaze" merges organic atmospheres with shifting rhythmic architectures into immersive, genre-fluid techno with echoes of drum & bass and ambient. It’s a sonic statement that captures both intensity and emotion, a reflection of Yasei’s evolving sound identity.
