After the last part of the Corpora trilogy and the "Paralyzed" EP by the label owner Sciahri, Sublunar is delighted to introduce a new artist into their family.

For the last decade, Calum Lee AKA Paleman has steadily built a powerful catalogue of releases showcasing his unique percussive and textural take on electronic music. In 2020 he launched a new alias ‘Fresnel Lens’ that showcases his film scoring work and more experimental, explorative personal works running alongside his continuing work as Paleman. After 2021’s self-released PLMN005, 2 Fresnel Lens albums and a short film OST, Paleman turns to Florence based Sublunar Records in 2022 for his next release and longest work to date - ‘Veiled’. The release encapsulates a considered and focused writing process informed by rhythm, momentum, abstract moods and a desire for tangible visceral sound design orbiting techno, UK experimental electronic music, and early electronics.
‘Veiled’ begins with a statement of precision, opener Bite gallops into action with polyrhythmic vactrol loops and grainy incisive modular sound design. The LP moves through moods, spaces and tempos arriving at the distilled and appropriately named ‘Mandible’ that
chews into the previous tracks' themes with a stumbling urgency and an insectoid textural palette. Veiled feels like the culmination of a decade of Paleman works, a collection of tracks and merged sonics that represents his experiments, his club focused minimal works and his more recent explorations on PLMN and as ‘Fresnel Lens’ with drone, experimental and cinematic work. ‘Veiled’ paves the way for a new decade for Paleman, condensed and focused, whilst simultaneously expressive, experimental and free.

Paleman - Bite

Manuele Chiaravalloti is Mod21 an italian specialist in profound and elaborated techno we’ve been following for a long while. For this album he delivers the best of his abilities in production, diving deep into the most intricate realms in the genre.

What do we do now is the beatless introduction to this sonic journey setting the pace for Anthropology of failure introducing the beat but still meditative and liquid.

Doomsday Clock goes straight into danceable business, using effected continuous synth lines over a clean groove that grows in intensity as the beats go by. Several layers of pads add space to the sound in this dreamy techno number.

On Cold silence the beat goes busier and percussive elements are the main element making this one the perfect dj tool.

Black heart is electric and stripped down, using a few crispy synthetic elements to keep the tension although there is no kick in the equation.

Escalation of violence introduces a bit of distortion and roughness on the rhythm but preserving the mental approach on sequences and textures.

Beyond the edge of an habitable world slows down the pace and uses hypnosis via repetition to reach the appropriate state of mind in the first hours of the club.

 It gets into your brain follows, giving exactly what the title suggests, with an erratic synth line flowing over a relentless groove. This one will cause some brain damage when listened to on the proper sound systems.

Come on honey, it's real money funny title for a serious brain melting exercise that reminds us of the sound of early minimal heroes like Basic Channel. Man is a tool goes in the same direction, focusing on the dub side.

You were the good one Qerndu changes directions drastically, diving into scifi alien areas, obsessive and tooly.

The virtual denies tactility, removes the beat and reduces the sound elements to the minimum getting closer to the end of this sonic journey.

Last track, Loyalty does not end with death acts as an electronic lullaby where harmonies and lush pads are the starring.

PREMIERE | Pyramidal Decode - Flame [ILLEGAL ALIEN]

Ricky Cross unveils a collection of four sonic voyages, each a passage through endless melodic loops and hypnotic rhythms. This EP isn’t just a sequence of tracks—it’s an intricate system of motion, where pulsating basslines and evolving harmonics stretch time itself.

Each piece sculpts its own atmosphere, layering shifting textures and cascading synth work that seem to extend beyond the confines of structure. Subtle yet relentless, the percussion locks in a groove that feels both weightless and inescapable, guiding the listener into a controlled drift.

Closing the journey, STNDRD delivers a futuristic reinterpretation, reshaping one of these labyrinthine compositions into something sharper, more angular. Rhythmic mutations and spectral details dissolve expectations, creating a contrast that feels both alien and inevitable, it’s a refraction of sound through a different dimension.

This is music not meant to be followed but absorbed, where the mind loops in sync with the machines, lost in an infinite cadence.

Ricky Cross - Oblivion (inc STNDRD Remix) - [AM04] Previews

Deep within the circuitry of a forgotten future, STNDRD deciphers the pulse of a machine-dominated reality. VX-404 is an encrypted transmission—fractured rhythms, mechanical decay, and unstable grooves shifting in and out of sync with time.

Across four intricate compositions, broken beats and spectral textures emerge from the void, colliding in unpredictable patterns. The structures feel volatile, like a system on the brink of collapse, yet held together by an unseen logic.

VX-304 operates in a liminal space, somewhere between past blueprints of techno and the raw, unfiltered noise of what comes next

After the release of Dystopian’s very first long player “The Untold Way“ Monoloc took some time to focus on his own label Unterland and the cinematic sounds the imprint stands for. Now he’s back on Dystopian with the “Drought“ EP, a heavy four-tracker that combines stepping grooves, gloomy soundscapes and dance floor effectiveness.

Oscar Mulero's DJ career has been as prolific and long lasting as the evolution of dance music. As a key figure in its development, Oscar has always absorbed new trends and kept his finger on the pulse of electronic dance music, from the end of the 80’s right up to the present day. It is impossible to understand his genius without taking into account the tireless work he has carried out behind the decks for over two decades. Production-wise he's been releasing records since the late 90’s, with countless 12" vinyls and several studio albums, as well as many remixes for the best players in the scene.

He runs Warm Up, his very own imprint, since 2000 as well as the label PoleGroup Records since 2004, both of which have reached the 50 releases mark. On 2013 he started a series of live A/V performances under several project names like Light and Dark, Biolive and Monochrome AV.

In 2019 he will celebrate his thirty-year career with a very special secret lineup party in Madrid that will be much talked about because of its concept and the quality of the guests.
