Human Space Machine makes another visit to earth with “Searching”: a fresh four tracker consisting of effective yet deeply heady pieces of club music.

Following his well received EP “Cycle”, HSM explores a darker vibe, one that has become signature to his more recent works. Human Space Machine’s music never floats too far from dance floor focus, but once again tirelessly sparks interest to the ear with complex rhythms and tribal percussion.

‘Searching’ makes a big entrance, an unpretending piece of serious acidness, not ever letting the listener leave the groove, yet carrying a glimpse of hope throughout. After comes ‘SP4C3’, pulling into deeper territory, with minimalistic techno-ey drums and a dash of psy-influences for those really late or early moments. Flipping over, the B-side punches out an ominous and broken cut ‘Ritm’ that crosses over many genres but is ultimately a signature HSM track, one for the subs. Rounding off, Human Space Machine’s ’SH3’ showcases his passion for faster pasted grooves and mind-tripping synths combined in a rhythmical journey.

Braindance

Turbulent

Premiere: Poly Chain – Turbulent

‘WAR1209’ finds Ukrainian artist shjva inducing trance states across an album equal parts tripped-out and dubby. Spanning brooding lysergic visions and locked-in dance floor hypnosis, expect drowsily impressionistic soundscapes and darkly cinematic gear across the 9-track duration. Total sonic immersion for the oddballs and the freaks.
 
Terraforming uncharted alien terrain, tracks like ‘X-Side’ and ‘Upper Limit’ descend into sprawling, widescreen exploration. Fathomless landscapes serving as vessels for deep introspection. ‘Enigmatic’, on the other hand, opts for detail and precision-tooled dynamics while retaining that same wide-eyed sense of wonder. Where ‘Dragonfly’ offers fractal fuel for ceremony and ritual, ‘Cloudhopping’ and ‘Psy-Fi Alien Dub’ wade knee-deep through some dub techno murk. Saving the direct and tunnelling for last, 'Banshee' and 'Chrysalis' are like two sides of the same proggy coin; one ominous, the other more optimistic and utopian.

PREVIEW: shjva - WAR1209

For Animalia’s 11th release, Animalia welcomes Ukrainian producer Volodymyr Gnatenko (@gnatenko) with his EP AbiaA. 

Known for his progressive, trance-tinged releases and live sets, AabiA builds on Gnatenko’s lush soundscaping with five new tracks, including a remix of fellow Ukrainian producer Shjva’s Usu and an additional digital sixth bonus track with Ilya Semaskevich. Deep, atmospheric and emotional, the EP spans dreamy synth lines meshed with breaks, both rolling and downtempo. I first encountered Volodymyr’s sound at a party in Berlin last April, where he played a transformative live set that stayed with me long after. AbiaA perfectly reflects what resonated with me then and still - the entrancing and immersive world he conceives is a rare skill in electronic music, but one I endlessly seek. 

Limited edition CD version available. 

Animalia would like to acknowledge that whilst all tracks were produced in Europe, the label itself operates on the traditional land of the Woiwurrung & Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation, and pay respect to their elders past, and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Siamese Twins embarks on its 10th release milestone with the acclaimed Thai performance artist Tul Waitoonkiat. In หนึ่งคำถาม (One Question), Waitoonkiat's poetry is conjoined into a versatile sonic meeting of minds, created in collaboration with producers Black Merlin, Sapphire Slows, and Sleep D. Aligning seamlessly with Siamese Twins' trademark ethos of cultural reflection and interdisciplinary exploration.

Waitoonkiat, known for his socio-political work "2553," which reflects on the 2010 military crackdown in Thailand, has presented his novel "Silence is Violence" through multidisciplinary art exhibitions across Bangkok. One of these collaborations with Siamese Twins’ Khun Fluff in 2022 established a profound connection and laid this release's foundational recording layer. The recorded poem explores existential themes, pondering the endless cycle of questioning and the dichotomy between silence and imagination, darkness and light, with its contemplative imagination setting the stage.

The A-side unveils George Thompson's universe, known in the terrestrial realm as Black Merlin, with two noirish cinematic explorations that compose Waitoonkiat’s trademark expressive and enigmatic voice into the release's fabric. Showcasing Thompson’s ability to create hypnotic, depth-charged soundscapes that captivatingly feed into a broader story rather than claiming center stage.

The B-side begins with a delicate approach to sound design, crafted through the Buchla synthesizer by Japanese modular artist Sapphire Slows. The charm of this version lies within the sustained notes that gently inhale and exhale between enigmatic vocoder effects and layers of beauty, nature, and technology.

B2 closes with a seven-and-a-half-minute peak timer revolving around a pulsating bassline and driving force of drum energy. One craving for packed warehouses and bush raves by the Australian wizards of OZ and Butter Sessions label owners, Sleep D, aka Corey Kikos and Maryos Syawish.

from the upcoming "Like a Song From Your Dream" lp
To be released April 30th 2024

Legowelt returns to L.I.E.S.Records with a new album full of ultra-RAW hypnagogic lo-fi electrofunk. Classic, murky, cold as ice Hague-style slammers from the king of Smack. These eight tracks go back to the essence of the Legowelt sound, cutting through the noise of modern dance music charlatans, taking them to school with his undeniable signature stamped all over this release. A dancefloor classic in the making.

PREMIERE⚡️Maks Yos - Detal 03 (feat. Lli) [PENUMBRUM]

Quickly emerging Australian gem Zara (@zaraolsen) brings her signature warm, emotive & sparkling sounds to Animalia with a special five track EP and collaborative animation with Amsterdam based artist Tharim Cornelisse.   The EP combines the deepest intricacies of IDM & modern tempo-explorations, all with a cosy sense of groove & rhythm, resulting in an exciting yet tranquil balance of sounds. Zara’s atmospheric, world building music is an unambiguous reflection of not only her upbringing in lush Australian surrounds, but also Animalia’s kaleidoscopic world, and Zara’s own sense of adventure and worldliness.
