All To Get Her

Icelandic dub techno icon, Aðalsteinn Guðmundsson, known as Yagya, is one of few artists we have encountered that prefer the LP format over EPs. Having consistently released an album every few years for more than 20 years, Yagya is about to release his 9th studio album, "Faded Photographs" later this month. Yagya described the LP as his "most involved and time-consuming project to date" and also pointed out that it "marks an exceptionally confident return to the art of songwriting". The album features vocals from Saint Sinner, Benoit Piolard, Bandreas, but the majority of the tracks on the album contain vocals solely from Guðmundsson himself. 

Today, we are honored to present the opening track from "Faded Photographs" - "The Downpour". The track emits many emotions we have come to expect from Yagya's work, nostalgia, melancholy, even mourning. Featuring strings from Pablo Hopenhayn, the track really gives a taste of what feelings to expect as one embarks on the rest of the album's journey.  Yagya described the album as being "an utterly seamless experience, demanding to be heard as a whole", so it only felt right to premiere the opening track as to not interrupt the intended flow.
"Faded Photographs" comes out on Yagya's own Small Plastic Animals on March 17, 2023

This immersive collaboration between the UK based musician, Andrew Heath and French musician, Christian Wittman charts a musical voyage that explores themes of great tides that rise and fall and of air currents that flow between lands and seas. 

Dense clouds and currents of electronic sound are permeated with sharp, pin-pricks of percussion and modular noises with drifting piano, both electric and acoustic along with guitar notes that float above the maelstrom. All bound with field recordings that resonate sympathetically alongside the drifting tones. 

Sometimes light, sometimes dark - evoking the contrast between the apparent calm of the sea, and the dynamics and flows that unfold, both in depth and in the air, creating organic and immersive soundscapes, aerial and underwater at the same time. 


As well as many solo releases under his own name, Andrew has collaborated with artists including legendary German musician, Hans-Joachim Roedelius, experimental electronic and classical composer, Christopher Chaplin, Dutch ambient guitarist, Anne Chris Bakker, Argentinian composer Mi Cosa de Resistance and UK artists, Toby Marks (Banco de Gaia), James Osland and Simon McCorry. Andrew has also been commissioned to produce works for film...  more

Hollow Faith [Darkwave Sound Concept]

"MISSED LOVE TO PRIMA NEON" is the new album by THE DEONISOS — a dark and emotional journey through retrowave, cyberwave, synthwave, darksynth, and cosmic ambient.
Blending heavy bass, atmospheric synths, cinematic pads, and futuristic soundscapes, this release creates a unique soundtrack for lonely nights, neon-lit cityscapes, and endless cosmic silence.

This album captures the melancholy of retrowave and the intensity of darksynth, inspired by artists like Kavinsky, Perturbator, and VOJ & Narvent.
Every track is built to immerse you in a retro-futuristic world where past and future collide — a world filled with neon lights, rain-soaked streets, and the cold echo of space.

🎧 Perfect for fans of:

Retrowave / Synthwave / Cyberwave

Darksynth & cinematic electronic music

#Kavinsky, #Perturbator, #VOJ & Narvent, #Kyrie, #Mr.Kitty 

Whether you’re driving at midnight, coding in a neon-lit room, or simply searching for deep emotional electronic music, Neon Melancholy will resonate with you.

🔮 Listen now and dive into the sound of the future that feels like a memory.

THE LONELYNESS MAN IN THE WORLD

From the passionate lands of France, Arnaud Galoppe, known as Focal and Kinosura, has hand-mixed an emotional labyrinth of dark techno and melancholy ambience in Ultimae’s latest compilation.
Polarity is a double-sided conglomerate of electronic expressions from all over the world, spanning across atmospheric soundworlds of intimate drone and deep, industrial progressions.
This collection of heartwarming soundscapes and foot-stomping house beats is smoother than butter, a series of 26 top-notch tracks that paint an interesting, auditory adventure. Although the album has a minimalistic approach, it offers a surprisingly detailed production. Each track is layered with expert craftsmanship and hypnotic melodies laced against diverse, psychedelic noise echoing in the distance.
Polarity is certainly an experience worth traversing, and we are proud to host it as an excellent addition to any electronica connoisseur's sound-library.

The Polarity artwork was imagined by plasticians Suzy Lelièvre and Raphaël Kuntz.
From a sphere, they conceived a parametric deformation protocol for a decomposition in several stages.
While Suzy imagines shapes and the potential modifications to impact, Raphaël works on the incarnation process to extract a mineral matter look, something geological, almost chemical. As they materialise, with slow lighting work, shapes undergo random offsets, revealing the tension between a near scientific protocol and its subjective interpretation. Beyond the infinite production of singular shapes, the goal of both artists, especially for this project, is to invent new processes that invite a reconsideration of our attitude to shapes.
In the same way, from Ambient to Techno, through a game of modulation of pads, rhythms and frequencies, Polarity offers a variety of musical spectra flowing into one another, a melodic exploration of the twists and turns which link both universes.

Mastered by Vincent Villuis & Vladislav Isaev at Ultimae Studios.
