ORION, the new EP from Monococ and Mrmsoun6, takes inspiration from the ancient Dogon tribe and their mythological tale of the Nommos. The duo draws from the story of Orion, known as "Sigi Tolo" to the Dogon people, to create a captivating techno journey through the vast universe.

The EP weaves together elements of the Nommo story, including the figures of the Hunter, the Weaver, and the Seed, to create a sonic exploration of the cosmos. From the pulsing beats of "Orion" to the haunting melodies of "Epsilon," ORION ep offers a unique and immersive experience for electronic music fans.

Monococ and Mrmsoun6 have expertly crafted an EP that not only pays homage to the rich mythology of the Dogon people but also pushes the boundaries of electronic music. ORION is a must-listen for anyone looking for a dynamic and otherworldly music experience.

Padang Lab Series | EP.12 Macedo (Free Download)

Dualism isn't just a concept; it's the raw, pulsating essence of our enigmatic existence. Trapped in vessels of flesh and bone, we are governed by the cold, mechanistic laws of the physical realm. Yet, our minds dance on the edges of reality, defying the tangible and venturing into the mystic.

Who dares define what is saintly or sinister, what is luminescent or shrouded in darkness? Our choices are guided by our own intricate web of beliefs, and we tread an eternal tightrope between two diverging realities.

These creations don't merely explore dualism—they revel in it, twisting frequencies and rhythm into a shadowy ballet of contrasts. Dive into the abyss with low, growling frequencies, only to be lifted by intoxicating grooves that offer a not-so-innocent invitation to a unique and immersive labyrinth of sound.

This is the dance of the eternal, the carnival of ghosts and dreams where beats serve as both map and compass. As Mallki stirs the cauldron, the night itself leans in to listen. Each track is a trick, each note a spell, unveiling secrets not just to be heard, but to be experienced. Come—dive into these sounds and find the paths where legends venture.

Stancke - Byte Boulevard EP (Out Now)

In the beginning, there were shadows.

Flickering, shifting, silent specters, dancing on the walls of a forgotten cave. Men and women, bound in chains of their own making, worshiping the echoes of a world they could not see. Blind to the fire, blind to the light, blind to the song calling them home.

But somewhere, deep within the hollow, a rhythm began to rise. A pulse. A beat. A whisper that turned to thunder. Break the Chains, it said. And some heard it.

They climbed. They crawled. Hands bloodied, minds shattered, hearts wide open. They left the shadows behind. They rose toward the unknown, toward the shimmering light of a new dawn.

Now, here we are—standing on the edge of the great divide. The cave behind us, the stars above us, the music inside us.

Do you hear it? The electric hum, the primal throb. Machines and humans, dancing in communion. Time dissolves. Chains shatter. A symphony of freedom, born from chaos, carrying us higher.

Step into the fire. Let it burn away the lies. Dance your way to truth.

The shadows are gone. The light is here. But the question remains:

Will you stay in the cave, or will you join us in the firelight of forever?

And a seeker stood before the night and asked: “What is this longing I feel when the sun bows to the horizon? Why does my soul stir when the world is cloaked in darkness?”

And the night spoke, saying:

"You are not lost in the dark, but found. For in the absence of light, your spirit is no longer bound by the illusions of the day. Here, in the stillness, you remember. You become."

"This music is not of the world you know, nor is it of the silence beyond. It is the voice of the unseen, the rhythm of shadows stretching long, the whisper of the wind that knows no master. It moves like the tide, not to drown you, but to cleanse. It trembles like fire, not to burn, but to illuminate. It calls you forth, not as a prisoner, but as a dancer upon the threshold of all things hidden."

"Do not fear the night, for it is only another face of the beloved. And do not fear the sound, for it is but your own heartbeat echoed back to you. Step forth into the darkness, for here, you will find not an end, but a beginning."

From the remote depths of Sirius B, they perceived the colossal alarm reverberating throughout Earth’s atmosphere—a cryptic cosmic cry that defied human comprehension. Drawn by the planet’s trembling pulse, they found their first sanctuaries among ancient temples scattered across the globe, with Indonesia’s fabled shores serving as their initial gateway.

Their presence stirred an eerie hush across the land, blending curiosity with foreboding. Silent tongues spun unearthly melodies carried on invisible winds, drifting into the deepest corners of mortal consciousness like distant whispers from a nameless beyond.

Fear and fascination intermingled in humanity’s collective soul as this otherworldly alarm sounded an irreversible shift. Hope flickered amid the chill of the unknown, yet was overshadowed by a haunting sense of cosmic power at play. In each resonant chord, these visitors unraveled the boundaries between realms, luring humankind toward an uncertain dawn of unity—and revelation.

Music became their cryptic language; temples, their sanctuaries. Within those storied strongholds, primal energies converged, forging a spectral bridge across unfathomable chasms, illuminating a path that shimmered with both dread and promise.

The eagerly awaited Volume 2 of one of Padang Records’ most distinctive VA’s comes to life through the vision of Anaïs Lin, a powerful presence in underground electronic scene. The result of over a year of profound research and meticulous curation, this release reveals a alchemy merging hypnotic tech, tribal percussions, and ritualistic atmospheres—a musical narrative designed to lead mind and body along hypnotic, transcendent paths.

Each track was carefully analog-mastered at the renowned SM Studios UK, ensuring warmth, depth, and authenticity.

Technomad II by Anaïs Lin

This is not a map, but the territory itself—a sonic cartography for the nocturnal pilgrimage of the psyche. Herein lies a transmission broadcast from the event horizon of the self, a sequence of recursive rhythms and tenebrous hums designed to dislocate the listener from the anchor of the mundane.

Enter a labyrinth of chthonic bass and whispering static, where each beat is a footfall in a corridor of mirrors. This is an auditory ritual for the age of absurdity, a soundtrack for the elegant decay of certainty. Kilbee weaves a tapestry of phantom mechanics and ectoplasmic synth lines—a sound that is both surgically precise and beautifully delirious.

Let the somatic metronome guide you through landscapes of sublime dread and into the crepuscular architecture of your own inner world. El Viaje Oscuro del Alma is a key, a current, a cog in a machine you were already a part of.

Tune in. Dissolve. Proceed.

Kilbee - El Viaje Oscuro Del Alma (Out Now)

Peel back the membrane of consensus and taste the volatile ripeness of something not meant for daylight. Frequencies slither like vines through the cortex, dripping with bittersweet data. Textures shimmer—half-organic, half-machine—fermenting in subterranean rhythms that breathe and convulse. Sweetness is deceptive. Patterns loop, mutate, collapse. Time liquefies. Meaning ferments. What grows here has no name, only sensation. Bite deeper. Let the bloom take hold.

Runehk - Revolution (Preview) Out Soon

Across ten chapters, Chronicles is a map—drawn at night, folded by the dancefloor, creased by long drives and longer afterthoughts. Each track captures a meeting, a shift, a discovery. What started as fragments—faces, places, transmissions at the edge of sleep—returns here as rhythm and tone. The grooves move like fault lines: patient, pressurized, then suddenly open, revealing rooms inside the low end where details flicker and resolve.

Shaped within Padang Records’ shadow-lit terrain, Chronicles carries the Green Waves current—dark progressive with a quiet insistence, sub-bass that walks, percussion that thinks. Melodic threads surface like landmarks you recognize without recalling when you’ve been there; textures breathe in and out, trading weight for space, tension for glide. It’s music for late hours and clear minds, built to hold both the pulse of a floor and the focus of headphones.

Taken together, these ten pieces read like field notes from a longer journey: coordinates sketched in kick and drone, margins annotated with small revelations. Chronicles doesn’t spell out the path so much as invite you to travel it—to feel how encounters become grooves, how transformations become tone, how the road itself becomes the record you hear.

Green Waves - Chronicles (Album Minimix Preview)

Now we present our next episode — Algia, a producer from Hungary and one of our recent additions in the Padang roster. Known for his precise approach to dark progressive and techno, Algia shapes a set built on depth, movement, and restraint. Layered percussion and evolving textures guide the mix, creating steady tension and flow. A focused and immersive session that highlights his refined sound design and tight rhythmic control.

Falzar - Õtoto (Preview) Out Now

There are two brothers walking through the inner desert.
Two sons of the same flame,
born in the fold where silence breathes the deepest.
They carry on their skin the dust of ancient nights,
and in their hands — dream machines,
cracks of light that open when the world shuts its eyes.

And so they move…
down the endless hallway of creation,
listening to the underground murmur of things without names.
They slip through invisible doors,
touch walls made of wind,
stare into the dark like greeting an old friend.

From this crossing come three tracks,
three sonic serpents wrapped around the same ancestral trunk:
raw dark progressive,
stone-cut, unpolished,
no ornaments, no disguises,
only depth,
only truth,
only the pulse that comes before language.

They called it Mind Echoes —
but maybe it’s just the echo of something you’ve always known,
the reflection of what vibrates behind the bones,
a memory trying to return while dancing in the dark.

Close your eyes.
Listen with your body.
Let the brothers lead you through the corridors of the unseen.
Because every mind has echoes.
And some… never fade.

about
Between breath and memory,
a quiet fracture opened—
the kind that shifts the weight of a heart
without asking permission.
From it rose a low pulse,
like the echo of a familiar step
coming from a place with no body left,
yet still pointing the way.

Nineteen artists felt this call.
Not as a message,
but as a soft heaviness in the chest,
a signal turning the soul back
toward its true direction.
They answered with sound—
roots pushing through shadow,
small lights cutting paths
where silence once ruled.

about


Nyctophilia is not the absence of light,
but the choice to remain
when light steps away.

It is the hour when sound gains power,
when rhythm sinks deeper,
and the mind opens its hidden rooms ~
where darkness becomes a warm place of rest,
not escape.

Here, frequencies carry weight,
and shadows feel familiar. ~
steady, patient, fluid.

This compilation moves through that inner realm.
Hypnotic structures unfold with intention,
deep atmospheres breathe in low registers,
and warmth emerges
not in spite of the darkness,
but because of it.

A terrain where introspection takes form,
where transformation happens without force unfolding all emotions naturally.

Nyctophilia Vol. 2 traces the music’s tension
between shadow and glow,
revealing how beauty persists in both states ~
how stillness can illuminate & how the dark knows the way to water your seed.

Step in.
The dark is not to be feared.

Two figures drift toward one another,
formed not of flesh,
but of currents, vapors, and vanishing edges.
Twin faces meeting in a moment suspended—
a dialogue of mirrors
where self and shadow trade places
and neither one truly stays.

This is Tekra:
a dance of duality,
a collision of forces that flicker
between becoming and dissolving.
MNGRM moves through these states
as if tracing the outline of smoke—
shifting, slipping, returning,
never the same shape twice.

The music rises from that tension:
dark pulses bending like liquid metal,
textures breathing in slow spirals,
melodies coiling around each other
until you can’t tell which voice belongs to...  more

Fractal Joke - Dreamers (Out Now)

Receiving data from random creative psychedelic neuro connections, world wild artists will take you on a journey of digital and analog soundscapes not yet explored by mankind. 
These spiritual beat seekers travel on a progressive journey exploring freaky dark progressive and techno elements, among others. 

With underground as our target and with creativity for strength, we emerge to entertain you and save your ears from sameness.
