With great joy we announce VALLEY001, a compilation of Valley family members that displays the versatility, power and most of all talent their community possesses. On the 2nd anniversary of the Valley Radio mix series we are able to celebrate a great coming together of people, motivated by passion and love. 
In this project Valley shows once again that they move rather like an organism than a static platform. Constructing an ever-evolving state influenced by the creative energy of its digital and social surroundings, Valley’s next shape will always be surprising yet familiarly touching. 
Treat yourself to a great variety of sounds with the debut compilation album and start your adventure of discovering the Valley.

Cheng Daoyuan - 荊詠 Stigmata

Cheng Daoyuan  - 臨化 Incarnation

Aspiring Prague’s dark horse of a producer Ursula Sereghy & Warsaw’s very own romantic badboy Julek Ploski finally have a big pleasure to release their collaborative track 'Řeřicha'. Named after cress the plant, 'Řeřicha' has slowly grown next to the road heading towards Ursula’s debut album 'OK Box', released via Gin&Platonic - also home to Julek’s eponymous longplay opus 'spie'.

Textur is proud to present the debut EP of Quiver. His EP ‘Artificial Tranquility’ (TXT-07) commutes between emotional narratives and persistent patterns. The music aims to create a listening experience that invokes both eeriness and familiarity, placed somewhere in between organism and cynicism.

Creating a sonic meeting-space, in which organic and warm timbres from the pipe organ and other acoustic instruments intertwine with the cold and cynical properties of digital sound-design, the EP explores worlds and timbres that are essentially ‘in between’.

The photo-mosaic cover-art has been created by photographer Nicola Hein. Much like the music found on the EP, it has taken form as an abstract piece composed of contrasting yet recognisable pieces of textures and shredded materials.

The EP is the seventh release on Textur, a small non-profit label and music collective rooted in Copenhagen, with an ambition to create a platform for exposure, collaboration and community among artists outside the commercial music scene.

餘孔 Scarsleft (from “5qmt” spring comp,  Daddypower Records)

Taken from 'Kleis' (G&P021) by Somaticae, out June 5, 2022.

Active since 2006 with multiple projects, evolved in countless DIY or festival performances & putting out a handful of hardline releases, on their latest project 'Kleis' out in May via Gin&Platonic, the Saint-Etienne based musician and respected performer Amédée De Murcia alias 'Somaticae' examines the disturbing concept of dichotomy, fundamentally shaping the world around us.

Being a follow-up to his noise, electronica and techno-oriented past releases via Brainstorm Lab, Lost Dogs ent. or In Paradisum, Kleis (meaning key in ancient greek) offers two iterations (the third is a cassette-only bonus) of an epic and raw, yet genuinely fluid sonic riddle. Composed and recorded during 2020 in Lyon, Kleis is a rebus encrypted with grubby drums, entangled irregularly like sonic tentacles of an octopus, unpredictably rolling on tossed with the cold streams of sharp noises. „The symbolism of the key has a double connotation since it has the power to open and close. It commands access to a place, inside a box, and to an acquaintance. Conversely, it can forbid this same access, so the key has both a role of initiation and discrimination,“ says Amédée.

Somaticae - Kleis I

He's reduced me to paranoia!

Somatic paranoia

Wound up with the matrix of 

My personal Saturn

A Christ In The Throngs of Christs-Tangling

Over Not Nary A Thing But Death Itself Will They Even Touch A Hair On The Head Of My Children

That depth of protection 

Terminally turns against my open breath

Through the care of the adipose

Fat overtakes strike upon bone

So that these black ringlets on the thick of my left hand’s middle finger

Running on the phalanx base past the carpals and above the lower digital knuckle

Tell me in my night time slumber the woes of this day’s light decayed

And I become ash

And the rust of us drops to phlegm

For no bone understands their piercing 

Their burn by air nor their punk by time

Sinews do not recall even one battle of 

Dribbled mucous and cracking blood 

with the thunderous clouds of pollen felicity 

amongst the collard-patched sandy yellowhills 

Dusts they carry when their water is no more they do not even recognize 

This bone in my brain I have

You gave though you didn’t have

And baby, this bone feeds too 

And on what? There is no knowledge.

Nothing but this whale,

Oh lord

There is no stretch or scrimmage ordained

Thought is illicitry

Speech is illicitry 

Sobs as the asbestos does its work on it

The bright of two eyes cross Oolong glass cradled by suicide nets 

to heat metal for warm tea to dip foam breadcrust

Africa finally breaks to feign spinal catastrophe

Where homo backs lock cold upon soil

Together we donkeying this stripped world

Shellshocked daddies canker our view

Waving hot bone of ox against dry bone of mammoth to assure that Aggliostrxo will remain parted from me

He and his Fresca face remain stone to me 

And I actually got a bone where actual sense should be

Low in the human zoo

Fat overtakes strike upon bone

Blue for nothing but this whale, oh lord

Only the graven embrace of combs

Inlaid fancy in my iron chest’s solemnity

Can stand to stand any of it

I bow my head and clasp my hands above this box

I whisper, Aggliostrxo, a wish that this cheat finds its way to you

As fanfare for the touch of our sorrows

Over which Urania-glow is to be in falters.

On Misinput Tycoon (GEN052), https://soundcloud.com/fausto_mercier returns to Genot Centre with an album full of intricately engineered, futuristic sound explorations. Quirky, syncopated, even grimy melodies emerge between sounds reminiscent of cinematic automatic sliding doors, plasma-filled light cannons and full-spectrum boot-up sounds. The approach is bio-mimetic, elastic, fizzy, accelerating and decelerating, like listening to a process of wringing out an artificial fabric, or rupturing ultra-light fibrous materials in incredible resolution. More than ever, this album is littered with colorful, even contemplative segments: having an orchestrated, playful feeling. But make no mistake: more than mere intermezzos, this only a further dimension of the album's depth, the bright timbres ready to interface with a stroboscopic, liquid, granular counterpoint at any time.

// Roland Nagy (https://soundcloud.com/fausto_mercier) about GEN052
“I’m constantly watching pixels since I was 5. This album reflects wasted time and digital traumas. MISINPUT TYCOON is a sequel of my FULLSCREEN album from 2019 (also on Genot) - a sonic playground that feels much safer to me compared to my previous works. Also, it's the first album I made without hearing „What would XY think about this track?” in my head. These are my hymns for healing from the digital core - hope it will help.”

// BIO
Roland Nagy (he/him) is a Hungarian sound engineer, ex-media arts student and producer. Ever since 2016 he has released music under https://soundcloud.com/fausto_mercier moniker on labels like on EXILES, Kaer‘Uiks, Pointless Geometry, Infinite Machine or Genot Centre. His work in the field of electronic music production, while resonating with hardcore digital culture and bouncy rhythmic heaviness, is closely connected to his fascination for natural soundscapes and their fractal nature. In particular, Nagy skillfully manages to depict a violent, tense world populated of minuscule yet grand sound variations, intertwined in a web of apparently chaotic textures. He was part of Shape Platform roster in 2020.

sysadmin's second addition to evo-natura's catalog is the captivating two-tracks drone EP "2".

The project features the mesmerizing compositions "Sickly Sweet" and "Enigma," both centered around mournful progressions that gradually evolve over time, where decay becomes an art form, creating a contemplative atmosphere that exudes a soothing aura. Within the gentle embrace of the pieces, themes of forgiveness and awareness intertwine, leaving an open invitation to explore the depths of emotion through sonic exploration.

VAGINAL GROOVE, KUNG POW PENIS

This compilation was made by beautiful humans from all around the world. It is a collection of 11 varied tracks. It is noisy, experimental, sometimes brutal, with choir, different languages, vocals, piano and drums... While the tracks are all different, they are united by the fight against domestic violence.

As you may know, this pandemic is a nightmare for women facing domestic and sexual abuse. In many situations they have been forced into lockdown with their abuser. 

The money raised on Bandcamp will go to La Fédération Nationale Solidarité Femmes, a French charity helping women in distress. Please consider buying this release if you appreciate it and spread the word about the current situation. 

If you or someone you know is facing violence, despite how hard and impossible it might feel, help is out there and it is possible to escape the situation you're in. 
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Violence needs to stop.
