https://soustraitance-sstr.bandcamp.com/album/serendipity

After three years of meticulous exploration, refinement, and aesthetic definition, we are finally venturing into the realm of solo releases: we proudly unveil today Anta Doma's Serendipity EP.

Following their standout contribution from 2023 to our “Masterbep” V/A, the French duo delves deep into the mythology of a new world in the making, channeling the wrath of almighty elemental forces. The EP features five rhizomatic tracks that seamlessly intertwine the label’s signature sound with 

Anta Doma’s own identity ; expect slow-burning industrial breaks, high-velocity DnB, and ritualistic ambient textures - all bound by a focus on sonic mutations and razor-sharp sound design.

Four years since her last dancefloor 12", @upsammy returns to Dekmantel with a four-track exploration of gleaming, sprightly drum and bass with a restorative centre. Thessa Torsing's moves in upper tempo zones have been defined by her light touch, finding power and presence in finely chiseled sounds and sculpting space between intricate, interwoven rhythms.

The dynamic movement of her pristinely moulded percussion is absolutely geared up for the club, but it's also matched with an uplifting, meditative sound palette which tempers the busy energy of the drums. Pushing and pulling on her arrangements with ever-increasing expressiveness and revelling in the subtlest of modulations to her kinetic beat systems, upsammy proves once again that moving in time to fast music can be an incredibly restorative experience.

🚨 10 Inch repress coming
J A featuring Donato Dozzy - Sorella di confine | RUBBER013

A1 - Eclisse indolente
A2 - Era vitale
B - Sorella di confine

Vinyl / Digital: https://rubber-denhaag.bandcamp.com/album/sorella-di-confine
Distribution by @clone-distribution

The initial 7-inch edition was withdrawn as the pressing didn’t fully capture the sonic quality of the tracks. Rubber releases a small repress on 10-inch, a format that truly carries the sound and presents the music exactly as intended. 

Reuniting as a trifecta, J A returns to Rubber with a three-pronged EP. This time, Andrea Noce and Jonida Prifti are joined by Donato Dozzy—the Italian maestro of minimal techno, who threads liquid geometry into the pair’s vocal acrobatics.

Like a silver fog descending, ‘Eclisse Indolente’ opens. Not quite ambient—with field recording-esque emanations filling the backdrop—the spoken lyrics are moonlit incantations, spells for a mid-winter ritual. ‘Era Vitale’ showcases Dozzy’s hypnotic latticework in full effect, the operatic accompaniment gliding over a twitching beat. For the titular track—its thundering power a homage to the sound system—blasts of cold bass interject at intervals; a muted post-dub tirade, narrated by fractured, echoing whispers.

Building on their previous album for the imprint, enter ja, which leaned more instrumentally maximalist, this incarnation shifts to subtle, mesmerising sonics that let the lyrical prowess surge forth. A testament to the mystical nature of the voice, Sorella di Confine is pagan-folk for the club; a lunar chant, an ebony hymn.

The record serves as a sister release to Prifti’s eponymous poetry collection, published in 2024 by Marco Saya Edizioni. An extract from the collection’s afterword appears on the back sleeve, penned by the renowned lyricist, playwright, poet, and novelist Pasquale Panella.

Midnight Traffic - Kahu 
Kahu / Taksu [Midnight Traffic]

Produced by Rishi Haridas aka Midnight Traffic
Mastered by Vipul Angirish at AudioSol
Artwork by MT
Released by Midnight Traffic (Self-Release) from Hyderabad, India
Release Date : March 03rd, 2025

Kahu embodies the Hawaiian essence of its name—guardian, protector, and safe keeper of something precious. Ethereal melodies and fuel-efficient percussions create a rhythmic flow, balancing intimacy with expansiveness. Textured synth lines shape a dreamlike space, where fleeting chants drift through a pulsing percussive heartbeat, evoking the spirit of an ancient ritual reimagined through modern sound.

Taksu channels the radiant energy of presence, where spiritual strength and creativity converge in motion. Intricate textures and spiraling synth motifs guide the track forward, carrying the natural rhythm of existence. Rich sonic layers invite deep immersion, dissolving the boundary between listener and sound.

Both pieces embody their namesakes not through description but through experience—felt, heard, and carried forward.

Released on 12" and Digital 28.03.2025
- https://tamen.bandcamp.com/album/onyx

We’re delighted to welcome these two Australia based producers to the Samurai family with Onyx - a 4 track EP that delivers a blend of tight edits, chest heavy bass, and intricate sound design. Pugilist & Tamen combine nostalgia with forward-thinking production and Onyx traverses a rich landscape of jungle-rooted moods. 

Onyx introduces a step forward in the duo's production, utilising sculpted distortion as an instrument. Seen on 3 of the 4 tunes, this approach adds a temperative tension as the tunes give the impression they have gone too far into the distortion no go zone but ultimately finding a balance that compliments and enhances the tunes overall sound pallette perfectly.

Raw and direct with rich layers and honed grooves that ultimately mark the tunes as memorable, Onyx is on a new level for Pugilist & Tamen.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Italian sound artist Marco Shuttle debuts on Astral Industries with AI-39. Alluring and evocative, ‘Sonidos y Modulaciones de la Selva’ is a journey deep into the Amazon rainforest, seeking to capture its power and vastness, but also a rumination on the problem of its impending destruction.

In this album Shuttle sees the continuation and further ripening of an ongoing creative process, utilising both audio and visual documentations as source material. On this occasion most of the field recordings were taken in the Tupana Arü Ü nature reserve in the Amazonas region of Columbia, between Leticia and Puerto Nariño.

For the compositional process Shuttle employs a distinctly minimalist approach, achieving highly rich and articulate soundscapes with relatively little. Painting with an almost impressionistic stroke, the depth of imagery is underpinned by a strong experimental leaning and a sophisticated musical language.

Within its wild freeform, the seamless interplay between nature and the machines sees them merge into a mysterious dance - a liquifying sequence of scenes that shimmer with flora, fauna and the unmistakable aliveness of the jungle. A procession of sputtering and cavernous pulsations, sprawling biologies and hidden mysteries, the jungle as an entity, a spirit, begins to emerge. With all its peculiarities and strangeness, it reveals a world of seeming chaos, yet underneath it all a thread of something innately conscious.

Although it could be considered a form of sound diary, the scope spans much further than a standalone creative work. Within its intoxicating montage of shifting forms, ‘Sonidos y Modulaciones de la Selva’ stands as a sonic ethnography, and a contemplation on time, space, and our evolving relationship with nature.

Ongoing large-scale logging, agriculture and infrastructure projects are leading to significant deforestation in the Amazon, and continues to threaten biodiversity, the global environment and the livelihoods of indigenous communities. Part of the proceedings from this release will be donated to Amazon Watch (amazonwatch.org), a nonprofit organisation that works to protect the rainforest and advance the rights of indigenous peoples in the Amazon Basin.

“Special thanks goes to Marco Cruz from Amazon Jungle Trips and to Aberlardo and Manuel (who is also the narrator of the story at the end of Part 2), the indigenous guides who took me deep into the forest and made me experience its overwhelmingly powerful beauty. This record is dedicated to Colombia and all the fantastic people I met in this wonderful country” - Marco Shuttle 

Part Two

Toki Fuko captivates listeners with deep soundscapes and melancholic melodies. Insomnia is part of the four-track EP Phantom Scripts, set for release on 10th April on The Hague located spclnch, available in both digital and vinyl formats on Bandcamp.

A hypnotic blend of soundscapes and field recordings, Insomnia navigates us through an eerie atmosphere. An initial sense of unease, but an underlying current of reassurance lingers throughout. The track transports you to a dimly lit room where fingers glide effortlessly across piano keys, merging electronic textures with classical composition. Midway, a voice sample emerges, adding depth to the narrative and drawing you further into a world explored through sound.

Insomnia evokes the feeling of creating messages from the void and the unknown.

HL Premiere : Anta Doma - Low Rate Cardio [SousTraitance]

"Juno Review: A record that explores deep, hypnotic rhythms with a strong tribal and mystical undercurrent, the latest Siamese Twins records pushes the boundaries of what is possibly in eastern influences underground techno. Side-1 opens with 'The Golden Triangle', an atmospheric introduction that feels cinematic, setting the stage with ambient textures before giving way to movement. 'Lens of Time' follows, locking into a deep, primal groove where rolling percussion and rich low-end create an entrancing effect. On Side-2 'Mekong' leans into tribal mysticism, blending ancient rhythmic patterns with a modern pulse. The production is detailed yet raw, drawing from rich percussive layers. 'Ruak' closes the EP with pulsating bass and deep, rolling rhythms, channeling Eastern influences into a hypnotic techno flow. A powerful release from Siamese Twins Records, driven by Sunju Hargun's distinct vision"

SREP002 -  fog

Coming from the east of the Netherlands, si’nedd has spent years immersed in the vibrant underground scene, where DIY culture thrives. His journey has been shaped by late nights at intimate, off-the-grid venues, much like his shared studio with Bart, where the energy is raw, and the connection with the people around you is real. It’s in these spaces that his love for music deepened-where he dared to create purely for the joy of it. His music reflects those shared experiences, driven by a deep-rooted passion that’s all about the moment, and the love of the craft. Music for the sake of music-always.

PREMIERE: Midnight Traffic - Taksu [Self Release]

To speak to Luca Daniel Schwarz aka LDS about his music is to be enthusiastically guided into a complex world of his own creation: clean and powerful techno which pulses with life from the textured patterns and drum sequences that have fills and accents that would make anyone who's picked up a set of drumsticks envious.

Yet this ecosystem of noise is deceptive; Schwarz's process for making music is very different to how a live drummer would create the same subtlety of performance. Forever researching new technology, Luca got deeply interested in different programming languages, and created a series of probability based music tools for manoeuvring sounds and sequencing.

Manipulating those probabilities takes a skillful alchemy, needing understanding of both musical structure and how the tools he devised work. To return to the drummer analogy, if the drummer is focussed and intentional in the moment of playing, then the method used in LDS tracks is almost diametrically opposed, with all of the intention coming in the assembly of the instruments, potential paths, and gateways; once play is pressed the music flows, following all the rules that were set in advance, not unlike a domino run or Rube Goldberg machine.

And like a domino run, the results are fascinating and, ultimately, fun: staccato vocals pop in and out in 'zipp prompt'; laser-like synths pulse; background noises sweep across the aural plane of the dub techno of 'diff, blockmix' and 'pow' adding texture that brings vitality all-too-easily missed out when complex mathematical processes become entwined with music creation. The high sensitivity to texture and rhythmic detail in Stadion Progg is multiplied further on Jean Redondo's remix - whose track, Hypersonic, was the backbone of 2023's 'yet' compilation on Tresor.

The balance between technology and a sense of fun might also come from the maker; it's not easy to overstate Schwarz's passion for what is now his favourite way to make music, "it never gets boring. There's always a moment of anticipation to see what actually emerges." And the true "power of 2" comes into play when the resulting music can be fed back through the system again and again, potentiating the music in exponential ways.

Smogo - Submit To The Forest, 2025 
Buy: https://electricshapes.bandcamp.com/album/submit-to-the-forest

With this second EP ever released and his second offering to the Electric Shapes' catalogue, Smogo dove deeper into the areas of the subconscient. With a blend of hard rhythms and dangerous sound designs, gathering both his love for Science-Fiction and organic textures, this new EP reflects more than anything his attraction towards ultramodern mental music, well reflecting the ongoing european enthusiasm for fast paced techno, buzzing soundscapes, ethereal harshnes, citing A Strange Wedding, Raär, Solma, Trois-Quarts Taxi System or Sole Massif as his source of influence. Calling this wave as "psytech", it conjures on the dancefloor a bestial spirit made for dance, self-abandon, communion with the others

[MOWN005] Mown - Cloud Factory (PREVIEWS)

**Available as Digital & Vinyl on our Bandcamp - https://rrose.bandcamp.com/album/2-or-3-drops-of-height-have-nothing-to-do-with-savagery

T4T LUV NRG returns with a new release from Rrose, an artist who has been broadcasting transmissions of esoteric minimalism to the worldwide underground for nearly three decades. Stretching across eras and intentionalities within their work, they invite listeners to inhabit unfamiliar realms of phenomena in the dance. Influenced by the surrealist whimsy of Marcel Duchamp & fellow provocateurs in the Dada movement; the artist as self, subject, and instrument is disassembled, embraced, & reassembled back again into an enticingly abstract form under the sonic melding of experiential sound & techno as the medium.

Rrose’s captivating dexterity & evocative tension courses with an arcane fluidity throughout each of the record’s three tracks; their entrancing qualities perfect as tools to supplement the rhythmically inclined DJ bag, or as standalone experiences in circadian perception. “Second Coming” arises in vaporous glamour & undulating perceptive shifts, unfurling an atomic web of percussion occupying an elegant liminality evolved by the listener as participant. “Triplicate” expands our journey further, a dance of glimmering waves inside an elastic cocoon, molting with new anatomical downloads in between spaces of stillness, movement, & rippling kinetic vectors. As the B side morphs into “Silhouettes”, we glide onwards in a dance of smoldering glow, threads of energy conduction meld & drape themselves over subsonic pulsations, free flowing into constellations of momentum over a sprawling canvas.

The seeds of this project were planted during a fateful evening shared between Rrose & label head Octo Octa at a gig held in a former mortuary in Bristol, involving everything from nudity and mud, to gongs and piercing needles. It’s only right that through this nonsensical, & dare we say “Dada-esque” experience, that the two became friends. Within these layers of absurdity, a mutual appreciation of nature, & a later collaboration in Rrose’s curation of the ambient-leaning Air Texture series, “2 or 3 Drops of Savagery Have Nothing To Do With Height” was brought to life in a characteristic stream of delicate composition, fantastical wordplay, and the beauty of unknowing.

Through moving bodies, emphasizing the tactile qualities of sound, & inducing transcendent states of being, T4TLUVNRG finds synergy in the ecstatic with Rrose’s intents of the project; psychedelia at it’s most transformative & grounding node, letting subsonic pulsations and threads of energy conduction guide you deeper & deeper into an enveloping beat.
