Elements of Joy / Stave - SPLIT#4
Available at: pielectronics.bandcamp.com/album/split-4
Release Date: 14 February 2025
Format: 12'' / digital
---------------------------------
SPLIT#4 is the final release for the 10th anniversary year of the π project, featuring Elements of Joy (a.k.a. UVB) and Stave, both returning to the label after their earlier appearances with PI08 and PI07 respectively. The vinyl release showcases six original tracks—three from each artist—with bonus tracks included in the digital release.

On the A-side, Elements of Joy delivers 3 original tracks of New-Beat leaning techno, including one song that features vocals by Zanias.
The opening track, "Prutaneousa (A1)" connects the dots between his previous entry on the label and this one with the use of retro, 80s inspired vocal samples, but this time on a rather driving beat sequence than an industrial/noise one.
"A Master of Distress (A2)" dives deeper into a hypnotic mood while “Vampiric Habits (A3)” takes it even further to an ethereal atmosphere through the input of Australian vocalist Zanias.

On the B-side, Chicago producer Stave presents his signature hypnotic, broken-beat techno. The side opens with "Weingart (B1)", a characteristically Stave textured track. "900MPH (B2)" combines IDM elements with dynamic broken rhythms, while "Capital, Selves (B3)" blends experimental with Grey Area influences.

The digital release includes two more bonus tracks: an energetic EBM techno piece by Elements of Joy and an atmospheric techno by Stave, completing this diverse split release.

SPLIT#4 is a fitting close to the project's milestone year, celebrating a decade of our π vision.

A2. Elements of Joy - A Matter Of Distress

From the shadowy docks of Brest, producer Noctam emerges with "Impel Down"—a tense, propulsive cut now reimagined by techno maverick Tommy Four Seven. On this remix, mechanical precision meets eerie atmospherics, forging a relentless dive into dystopian club pressure. Out June 16, 2025, via Persephonic Sirens.

Duellist (@duellistuk) presents his third studio album, Purge Reflex, marking his debut release on X-IMG; a caustic downward spiral of abrasive yet meticulously crafted industrialized electronica. The release includes two frenetic and punishing remixes by Axkan and Kenny Campbell. The track KillChain is available now, with the full album dropping on Friday, 1 August.

The Scottish producer is following on from a recent split 12” release with Omen Records founder Axkan, titled Chronicles of Conflict.

Purge Reflex

Gauntlet

With “Interwoven”, Znzl offers a shift towards restraint and subtlety.
The noise is gone. Tension remains.
It never resolves. It doesn't need to.
No decor. Pressure. It lingers in its own space. It grows.
Glass-like textures forming a shape. Failing.
Concepts. No... Decisions. Four with no interest in spectacle. Cold. Personal.
You’ve heard them in a dream before, haven’t you? You forgot.
A memory broadcast on what you thought was a dead screen.

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a Crystal Geometry + AXKAN' gem on 'OMEN Recordings'.

The Rituals series rises again — a fresh strike carved deep into black wax. RITUAL12 summons an international assembly of techno insurgents from the OMEN roster, each delivering their own sonic rite. 
Across two sides, the intent is absolute: raw, unfiltered power pulled from the shadows and unleashed on the dancefloor.

[SIDE B]

CRYSTAL GEOMETRY + AXKAN – Kratom  
France’s Crystal Geometry joins AXKAN for a militaristic strike of modular chaos and pummeling drums. 
EBM-infused basslines drive beneath razor-sharp synth fire, rallying the midnight faithful to the front lines.

RITUAL12 is not a compilation — it’s a convocation. 
Forged in analogue heat, drenched in distortion, and aimed directly at the heart of the floor, this record demands full surrender. 
Step in. 
There is no turning back.

This VA release marks the beginning of a collaborative process.
Contrary to other releases, nobody decides who is good or fitting enough.
Instead all artists participate in a joint feedback process to improve on their tracks, until they have reached a level at which they feel comfortable releasing.

As the title indicates, each track is a reflection on the musical taste, life situation, and production ability of each artist.
Over time - with more releases - we'll be able to see all artists grow.
