𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐄 | Ilayruni - Telepathy Tapes (Caldera Remix) [Obtuse Swamp]

Barcelona’s Obtuse Swamp has been building a catalog that values depth over immediacy, and its third release, Reef Stage EP, extends that approach. Ilayruni delivers five originals that follow different routes through polyrhythmic terrain and show a fascination with rhythm’s ability to bend perception, supported by remixes from o.utlier, Caldera, and Arsène Martinet. 

There’s a peculiar space on the dancefloor reserved for tracks that are neither peak-time weapons nor background textures, the zone where hypnosis sets in. Telepathy Tapes, our premiere for today, sits right in that territory. Its low-slung tempo carries real weight, yet the percussion feels meticulously carved, with each strike holding space rather than filling it. Vocal fragments drift through like subconscious prompts, keeping the groove alert even as it sinks into hypnosis. It’s music designed to pull dancers inward, less about release, more about the slow, steady locking of body and mind. 

The Reef Stage EP is set for release on September 30th.

PREMIERE: Ilayruni - Telepathy Tapes [Obtuse Swamp]

Monochrome Premiere :

Artist : @ctafad
Track : Allelopathy
Label : @melifera_records
EP : Temperament
Format : Digital
Cat : MLF020
Release Date : 22.10.2025

With Temperament, CTAFAD explores a techno palette rich in vibrant colors, sometimes tinged with darker shades and dub textures. The melodies unfold with finesse, balanced by more intense rhythms, giving the tracks a raw energy imbued with sensitivity.
One can feel the pursuit of balance between spontaneity and structure, musical maturity in constant motion.
Solarythm’s remix adds an airy trance touch, further expanding the EP’s trajectory.
An artistically warm transition, perfect for accompanying the shift from summer to autumn.

"Dsic" marks the return of Aa Sudd on Optic Portal, now with his debut album. Recorded between 2020 and 2024, this album brings together four years of sound research. Glitch fragments, stretched recordings, and physical modeling collide in tracks that resist fixed form. Each piece is distinct, yet tied together by a single process: resampling, reshaping audio until it becomes something unrecognizable, alive.

The fifth and final chapter of the Raíces series marks the closing of a profound cycle — a journey that has explored the dialogue between sound and Nature, rhythm and remembrance. Raíces V gathers four artists whose works intertwine ancestral resonance and contemporary sonic architecture, tracing the invisible thread that connects the organic with the electronic.

Each piece unfolds as a ritual of grounding: deep techno pulses meet ancient drums, acoustic textures, and echoes of the living earth. In times of uncertainty, these sounds act as roots — anchoring us, reminding us of the fertile stillness beneath movement.

Curated by Aleja Sánchez, the release features new works from Vand, Vardae, Dino Sabatini and her own composition, closing a series dedicated to honoring music as both a spiritual language and a return to origin.
