introducing... Lint. with the release of their debut
single No Time for Distance, a lush and disorienting collage of decaying textures and rhythmic detritus. Born from a live improvisation session at kwia, Berlin and restructured in the studio, the track employs a technique the artists refer to as “smudging”—an infinite delay-tail sampling process that pushes recorded fragments into abstraction.

Gliding in through the Deutsche bass-biome, we gladly present label newcomer, @genus-aix (aka Jost Wessel). Welding true to the INDEX:essence™, “Heavy Metal, Solid State” is a spectrum of sonic winds. Migrating across 5 low-end rifters, Wessel sound-designs a liquefaction of moods that weave in and out of various textures and inspirations. The result is a shimmering dramaturgy that has the feel of a well plotted mini-album — a start-to-finish 'xperience and a fledgling tease into the talents of Genus Aix.

Tracklist: 

1. As One So Torn
2. Yours In Haste
3. Quicksilver Tooth
4. Rail Carrier
5. Exceptional Blooming

Written & Produced by Jost Wessel

Genus Aix - As One So Torn

In „MY AVATAR“ AA4K ( https://soundcloud.com/aa4000 ) is fully embracing an empowering conversation with their inner child, bringing them into the present and showing everything they reached and outgrew together. Genus Aix ( https://soundcloud.com/genus-aix ) twists this emotional and tempestuous heart-to-heart and gives it more distance with adding a rather nostalgic and soothing flair shaping the uproar excitement into a consolidated state as a base for further development and sustainable long-term contentment.

After AA4K’s 38-track debut album in 2023 their succession project „PUPPY’S DREAMS“ (The new EP! Available now! Link below!) is the altercation to reflect their inner feelings and project them into the further real world around them. Driven by pain, emotional turmoil and agitation the first four tracks show the hopeful-melancholic side of the process while trying to liberate yourself from the past. Reflecting on those emotions baby3D, Genus Aix and INSTAR are expanding this facets of the process to accept the ambivalence of things, settle and fully breaking free.

No matter near or far 
You’ll stay right by my heart
You gotta be who you are 
& You’ll see all those stars 

1
You gotta be who you are (2x)
No matter near or far 
You’ll stay my avatar

2
You gotta be who you are/ 
when you’re falling down
like a shooting star
You gotta be who you are / 
when the sun comes down
You’ll be my star

3
When your world is crashing
I’m gonna stick around
When everyone’s bashing
I’ll hear your sound. 

4
It’s like that time in life that’s not fair
You wanna stay so // belong to me
And even if this time in life is not fair
I’m gonna show you // if you believe

Vicki Siolos is an ambient/experimental DJ from New York City. After 15 years working in music journalism, publicity, and booking, she followed her intuition into DJing, drawn to the freedom of shaping sound in real time. For over 5 years, she’s hosted Bright Patterns on The Lot Radio as a perpetual canvas for sonic landscapes. Each month’s show is an attempt to capture life in the moment, letting sounds surface as they want to be heard.

She’s contributed multiple mixes to Mysteries of the Deep as well as Deep Breakfast, Sure Thing, Moods, Daisychain, and Delayed. The set she played at the inaugural Mostra Festival in Barcelona connected her with a like-minded community that opened the door to appearances in Madrid at Calma and Espacio Perpendicular. Her ambient style brought her to play in Scotland and Japan, and Enmossed commissioned her for what Boomkat called a “glacially paced and immersive” mix tape, affectionately titled Kintsugi as a reflection on resilience and the beauty in imperfection.

Creating space for others has always been a driving force in her work. Bright Patterns has welcomed both first-time DJs and seasoned selectors, building an archive that speaks for itself. A defining moment in her journey was joining the Outer Space chapter of No Way Back during the pandemic, where she crafted a set dedicated entirely to Norm Chambers' catalog. His music—along with artists like Jo Johnson, Throbbing Gristle, Loscil, Imaginary Softwoods, and Tarotplane—continues to shape her sonic world. She later honored Norm’s legacy with Panabrite Patterns, a tribute spanning four artists closely tied to his work.

Lately, Vicki is channeling her evolving relationship with music into original productions, shaping sound in her own way.

Premiere: Lint. - No Time for Distance (Genus Aix Remix)

Appendix.files introduces Lint. with the release of their debut single No Time for Distance, a lush and disorienting collage of decaying textures and rhythmic detritus.

Born from a live improvisation session at kwia, berlin and restructured in the studio, the track employs a technique the artists refer to as “smudging”—an infinite delay-tail sampling process that pushes recorded fragments into abstraction.

The original mix captures the sensation of memory dissolving in real time. Over five and a half minutes, No Time for Distance (Origin Mix) unfolds as a drifting, hypnotic composition shaped by ephemeral melodies, decayed loops, and warped rhythmic pulses.

The release extends into six radical reimaginings by a diverse group of artists: Genus Aix, DJ Strawberry, Another You, E.M.Butler & unown B.O.S., and Anixe M. Each remix further distorts the original sound source—drawing it through different filters of genre and emotion, from dub-drenched haze to rhythmically fragmented club mutations. The digital edition closes with the Valley Mix, a contemplative alternate version that fades the project into the ether.

Running just over 30 minutes, No Time for Distance is both a standalone piece and the opening gesture in Lint.’s evolving language of live-sampled decay and collaborative transformation. A full-length album is currently in the works for 2026.
