For AI-38 Italian duo LF58 (Giuseppe Tillieci and Filippo Scorcucchi) present ‘Radials’. A site-specific concept piece that was recorded live on location in Venice, Radials showcases the powerful and transportive sound world which LF58 have become known for. 

Radials takes its name from the homonymous exhibition created by the Roman artist group Sbagliato, for the 2023 Biennale Architettura of Venice. 

Following a landmark renovation of the Fondacoo dei Tedeschi by renowned Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, Sbagliato proposed the spatial transformation of the historic sixteenth-century building that would blur the lines between fiction and the real. 

The concept, to create unexpected “voids” within the fixed order of architecture, prompts the observer to question the fleeting and subjective nature of the reality that surrounds us. The building’s main loggia - a series of five archways exposed to the Canal Grande - take on a theme of reproduction and multiplication, giving rise to infinite perspectives in a dizzying mise en abyme. Through the portal-like potentialities of the loggia, the visitor enters the gateway to a fluid realm of distorted time and space. 

LF58 arose to translate the visual concept of Radials into sound, delivered through a special quadraphonic concert performed at the Fondaco dei Tedeschi in October 2023. Quadraphonics, with its four distinct audio channels, were used in direct correlation with the visual elements of the installation to immerse the audience in a dreamlike, multisensory experience. 

The opening scene of running waters and the cacophony of the bustling city streets quickly dissolves under the chiming of nearby bells, as hidden liminal spaces become revealed. It’s not long before all remnants of the ordinary are left behind, as the listener is submerged into the shimmering frequencies of parallel dimensions. 

A spatial soundscape of ever-moving forms and colours, Radials descends into ever-deeper waters. As the facade of what was once known falls away, a transportive journey of mind-body alterations begins.

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Mown - Such A Waste [CBS012]

Mown crafts a foreboding sonic narrative that feels both ancient and futuristic, like a warning whispered through time. Pulsating patterns, immersive atmospheres and refined rhythms evoke a world on the brink of revelation - or ruin. It’s a gripping descent into the ritualistic core of electronic hypnotism, where every sound feels like a sign.

Re:Axis, Kontinum and Aleja Sanchez each channel the arcane prophecy into their own language, delivering remixes that resonate as echoes of an inevitable fate.

Artist: Backwards Cavern [Melbourne, Australia]
Format: Digital
Release Date: September 22th 2025
Cat: ST093

. Backwards Cavern - Paper Relic (Mwamwa Interpretation)

Backwards Cavern was initially developed in 2021 but I kept the music to myself. The alias primarily focuses on more glitchy production but I am keeping a welcoming mind and broadening my horizons for creative freedom/expression.

The Fractured Chapel Album was a collection of works from 2020 till 2024, and was a slow progression out of my citizen maze alias - which I chose to leave behind. The album was inspired by a lot of IDM and more cinematic/tribal elements as well as some drum and bass influences.

Backwards Cavern - Fractured Chapel (Incl Eafhm & Mwamwa Interpretation)(ST093)

Nocturnal Squall was conceived just after the intensity of the La Vallée Électrique festival. In three tracks, Nawl, an artist from Lyon, distils the energy of the night, the poetry of the winds, and the force of a dancing storm.

This EP offers a range of styles that grow in intensity, reflecting his experience during the event, the story of a metamorphosis, when humans become Mistral.
Martin Nonstactic's remix unfolds a new dimension, awakening unexpected and emotional sounds.

Nawl - Nocturnal Squall [MLF019] Snippets

Always a pleasure to support our good friends over at @secuencias_temporales, this time with a new artist from a familiar background. 

Melbourne-based producer Adam McCoy, formerly known as Citizen Maze, debuts his new alias Backwards Cavern.

The project began taking shape in 2020 during the COVID lockdowns, a period where isolation and lifestyle changes sparked a new musical direction and a desire to work on more glitchy and open-ended experimentation. Backwards Cavern represents a step beyond the constraints Adam felt about Citizen Maze, while still carrying forward familiar elements such as sweeping pads, field recordings, and distinctive progressions.

Fractured Chapel is a collection of works written between 2020 and 2024, capturing the gradual shift from Citizen Maze to his new project, Backwards Cavern. Some tracks were first created with Citizen Maze in mind but were later transformed to reflect a different sound and direction.

Each piece draws inspiration from specific environments from urban spaces, coastal settings to mountainous landscapes, using place and atmosphere to shape mood and tone. Musically, the album pulls from IDM, cinematic and tribal textures, and subtle drum and bass influences, reflecting a balance between experimentation and evolution.

AF Premiere: Backwards Cavern - Nomad Static [Secuencias Temporales][OUT!!22.09.25]

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

We all have core memories of special dancefloor moments. Audience fully hypnotised, beating as one, lost in the music. Pure instinct, and the wildest spirit within each one shining through. Some artists have an uncanny ability to channel that. And today we present 2 masters at making those moments happen, via Perpendicular Festival 2025. Part of the Ouroboros takeover on Friday night, their performance at the event was one for the books. 

Toé, one of the minds behind EWO collectif and the Ouroboros project, has been mesmerising audiences with some stellar performances. A testament to it was her set just a couple days ago on her home turf, when we witnessed her sorcery at the peak of it's powers. With music that taps into the most feral and primal, it's hard to explain the purity of the feelings she conveys with her mixes. One thing is for sure, Toé has an ability to get your inner animal manifest on the dancefloor. 

Vardae needs no introduction at this point. His releases on Samurai Music or Non Series have established him in that "timeless" space of music creators. One to blame for the expansion on half time and dnb sounds into new psychedelic territory. Vardae is at the very front of a movement that unites breaks, tribe, trancey sounds and techno energy into a new irresistible ritual. His live performance gets better every time, and he turned Ouroboros upside down a couple of days ago. 

Together, you can only imagine what these magicians summon with their sonic potions. And Perpendicular was the cauldron in which their perfect mix took shape. Impossible drum patterns, enchanting atmospheres and their particular flare for transcendental sounds. Combined, these two take their wizardry to the highest levels. 

We couldn't be happier to host these two beloved artists, friends and amazing creatives. Inspiring humans that we always wanted to have in our channel. Infinite gratitude to Melu, Cedric, and the Perpen team for letting us host this piece of musical history. This is HUGE.
