With “Over Empathy”, Kletis continues his exploration of the misty borderlands between techno, bass music and dubs, delivering a dense, poetic and introspective EP where sound itself seems to breathe under the rain. 

Balancing inner fog and ritual depth, Kletis sculpts music that seeks not to belong but to feel, a language of textures, shadows and light, where every frequency turns into vibration and empathy becomes sound.

Release Info :

C.L.A.W.S - Splat City II [Dark Entries // DE322]

C.L.A.W.S. comes to Dark Entries with a new ripping LP, Splat City II. C.L.A.W.S. is the solo project of musical luminary Brian Hock, who has been a key figure in the Bay Area underground for over two decades via his involvement in projects like Bronze and The Vanishing, as well as helming the record labels Squirrels on Film and Immortal Sin. With C.L.A.W.S., Hock takes on the dancefloor, picking up cues from the Hague’s Giallo-dipped electro, the skewed minimalism of Chicago acid, and the mind-rending forays of San Francisco post-punk icons like Chrome and Tuxedomoon.

Following 2019’s inaugural Splat City EP, Splat City II continues to map the psychogeography of a metropolis both alien and immediately recognizable, one where life is cheap, but so are the thrills. Previously released on Squirrels on Film in digital-only format, this expanded vinyl edition of Splat City II features two new cuts.

Things kick off with “Route 505” and “One Tear,” a duo of rompers that vibe like Tom Ellard and Chip E locked in a room with a vial of liquid. Next up, Bay Area deckmaster Tyrel lends his editing chops to “Vigilant Slimy Monsters,” sculpting a moody space disco beast. Squirrels on Film co-founder Solar teams up with Hock for “Black Magic Carpet Ride III,” a cavernous downtempo banger. The slow-mo pace continues with “Wild Slugs United,” which features the no wave-esque clarinet work of Paul Costuros. Closer “Don’t Flip the Crystal Ship” pays homage to Bayview venue Bay Area 51 with melancholic strings and a quartz-solid electrofunk bassline. Splat City II comes in a sleeve with artwork by Bert Bergen, which features a vampiric cat and sci-fi cityscapes.

1. Route 505
2. One Tear
3. Vigilant Slimy Monsters (Tyrel Edit)

Put your keys in the Ignition and get the slab moving with 11th Hour - as the Belgian bass behemoth comes through with 6 tunes that’ll serve as your nemesis’ Kryptonite. 

Dishing up beats so cold, they make the Krypton rock’s meteoritic space travel equate to a stroll through Death Valley in mid-July - 11th Hour’s penchant for deep grooves, subtle progressions and subtastic Low Frequency Slaying sound design is showcased to its fullest.

Collaborations with two of DDD’s favourite UK MCs, Slowie and Rakjay, add cerebral lyrical fire to the mix - with both tunes rowdy enough to absolutely go off in the dance, yet equally serve perfectly when sparking up back at the afters. 

Don’t disregard the EP’s deep cuts though - they are well worthy of your attention - with each tune providing its own flavour to the release, all while being immaculately packaged together to form a cohesive whole. 

Ready for Ignition? 11th Hour is set to cause systems to spontaneously combust.

Samuel Kerridge presents Memoir Of Disintegration 291125

Toxido Mask unveils her first ambient album Spirit Waters on Pregnant Void, a creation born from a long, transformative journey.  The eight-track collection, including six originals and two remixes by Ina Kacz and Nadia Struiwigh, emerged in quiet hours of research, reflection, and deep listening to the currents within and without. Each track draws inspiration from the realms of myth and spirit, where water is not merely an element but a living presence, carrying memory, mystery, and the possibility of healing.

Perception shapes reality.
Every glance, every presence - alters what it observes.

The Observer Effect explores this fragile tension between listener and sound. Between awareness and surrender.

Six artists trace the invisible lines where rhythm becomes perception itself - minimal yet expansive, mechanical yet deeply human.

Recorded across continents, the compilation captures states of quiet attention: dub’s slow pulse, house’s steady breath, and textures that dissolve into pure motion. Each piece reflects the other, shifting as you listen, reminding us that observation is never neutral.

In the end, what we hear is also what we project - a mirror in vibration.

I. quartervane - monopole
II. Tap Newo - Tincture
III. Smeti - Reusable
IV. Roman Rai - Problem Solved
V. Daniel Neighbour - Dubmuse

London-based imprint Osmura returns with their second compilation series, 'Transient Glow'. Flowing through bass, dubstep and techno, the compilation features new tracks by the likes of Gillielove, Andrae Durden, Prieste5s, Ila Brugal, Viiaan and lastly our premiere, ophélie who rounds off the release beautifully with a deeply emotional track. Drawing from elements of dub, ambient, prog and techno, ophélie's 'Drosera' feels like a mirage, a hazy memory filled with emotion that captures you within its spell. It feels like a desert-island track.
