For our final release of the year we are thrilled to share this conceptual EP ‘An-Xileel’ from two aliases’ of Naarm based artist Daniel Jakobsson; Eastern Distributor and Jörmungandr.

The world building for this release came through a necessity for escapism for Jakobsson. Across this release, he takes you on a vivid journey through Black Marsh, a territory that sprawls through tranquil yet wild swamplands into densely breathtaking rainforests.

Within this captivating landscape resides the Argonians, reptilian humanoid creatures who call Black Marsh home. The EP delves into the world of the An-Xileel, a mysterious anti-imperialist political faction among the Argonians. With sharp, obsidian eyes gleaming with ancient intelligence, they are dedicated to purging the former colonial influence and restoring the homeland to its pre-foreign rule state.

Opening the release, 'Sap Speaker' by Eastern Distributor sets the tone with a frenzied and energetic vibe, establishing the EP's atmosphere. Throughout the track, the crisp percussion maintains a sharp presence amidst the focused and intentionally immersive synthesis. The inspiration for this track stemmed from the swamp environments.

Moving on to Dam Dweller, the composition features cold, dark percussion alongside psychedelic sweeps that plunge the listener into a profound low-end groove. This groove undergoes a gradual evolution into a 4/4 eruption, accompanied by the delicate touch of gentle pads and strings. The inspiration behind this track draws from the water and cave systems of Black Marsh.

Dam Dweller gracefully concludes, paving the way for Sand Shaper, a mellow yet robust track. With a focus on organic instruments, a gliding bass, and bowed strings, Sand Shaper captivates with hypnotising atmosphere and polyrhythmic percussion. The inspiration for this piece lies in the territory's sandy shores.

Root Mender brings the tempo back up, radiating positivity, vitality, and life. Thick sub-bass tones resonate through the body, and purposeful drum programming slice through the ever engulfing ethereal pads. An amphibious croak pulses beneath heavy kicks, accompanied by soothing vocals. Strings and acid basslines elevate the track, marking it as the EP's highlight. The inspiration for Root Mender is drawn from the tree homes of the Argonians.

Concluding the EP, Tree Minder adopts an introspective tone. Minimalist percussion and sharp automation contrast with angelic pads and echoing sounds. Flutes, bells, and bows collectively paint the spirit of an alien world, mirroring the hope brought by the An Xileel to the Argonian people.

02. Eastern Distributor - Dam Dweller
03. Eastern Distributor - Sand Shaper

For its 3rd compilation, Blue Night Jungle dives deeper into the french mental music scene. Enhancing the underground metamorphosis of a new way of conjuring trance within electronic musics, it welcomes a batch of new artists (Beatrice M., RAVL, Vanda Forte, Paul Rêve, Tampo, Orchid, NOGE, Kick21, Solma, Khey Mysterio, Cléo II) but also spare room for known figures of the label (Smogo, Drawbridge, Trois-Quarts Taxi System or Boskøw). Going from deep tribe adventures to dark DnB paths, jungle and trance experiments, it gathers this whole new "mental" scene of french parties for a long journey through the depths of unknown jungles.

Premiere: A.dixen - Ksueroh (Cycles Dub) [ACD001]

Plunge into unexplored sonics with Paris-based Australian artist al dente as he unveils his debut EP on Pure Space titled ‘multiform’.

Across the release al dente assembles a hypnotic merger of eerie atmospheres and playful rhythms, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a world that is both deeply mysterious and unexpectedly fun.

Kicking off the EP is "the temptation," a subtly bass fueled cut that casts murky textures across mesmitic delayed melodies with a pitched vocal sample holding the journey steady. It's instantly captivating and sets the tone of the release for a journey into deeply satisfying electronix.

Transitioning seamlessly into "multiform," al dente unleashes a torrent of slippery beats and twisted synths. Playful in spirit, the track balances its propelling bassline with a crispy four to the floor beat - perfect for warming the floor or a freaky late night adventure.

Flipping the switch, al dente ups the pace on “overnight”. With sharp, skippy rhythms and glitchy nuances the track melts together proto-electro with a modern production sheen. The vocal samples a Croatian soccer commentator, a nod to his family's Croatian heritage and continuation of the playful nrg throughout the EP.

Completing the release comes Melbourne-based producer White Fluff’s remix of “overnight”. Injecting the track with his signature blend of psychedelic sound, the remix feels stripped back yet purposeful, adding a new sonic pallet to the release. It's a reimagining that ensures that the EP leaves a lasting impression long after the final beat fades away.

Track: Venomous Dub
Artist: GAUSS @gaussss
Label: Geosmine
EP: Rana Brama
Release Link: https://geosmine.bandcamp.com/album/rana-brama

This first Split EP from Forest and GAUSS represents their take on modern trance music. Each track, while belonging to a specific sub-genre, shares a distinct primitive and organic touch. From heady and menacing synths to tribal and movement-inducing percussion, each composition is crafted to convey both emotions and the urge to move.

Venomous Dub is a versatile track blending warm undertones and fluttering swampy sounds with old riddim vocals.

In keeping with the organic minimalism that defines Geosmine's visual identity, Arroyo designed an artwork incorporating Pre-Columbian and Gothic art influences, centered around reptile figures.

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Vardae - Sunud [ANNV5]

The inspiration comes from The rhythms that unite us, the sounds
that guide us on a meditative journey. The whole set maintain a
development and exquisiteness in each note and section that
flood you with a hypnotic and essential groove, offering an
immersive and captivating experience as result.
--
This is an odd to unity!
A long time ago in the Mongolian steppe, people from the Khori,
the Kiyat and the Sunud decided to unite their forces with other
tribes to fight against the oppression of Western forces. The tribal
leaders celebrated their union under the stars of Altan Ovo sacred
mountain. The Mongol Empire was born, the attackers were
defeated and the steppe found peace for centuries.
Don’t stay alone, go with your tribe and you’ll be able to move
mountains!

Part of the various Waitomo out on Stagno Records 26th April 2024.

About the VA :

A powerful glow paralyses time in the night. The hypnotic lights and the darkness of the ravine draw together silence and noise, the harmonic vibrations of a-formed bodies.
It's a different light, travelling cautiously and heavily, enough to pierce boundaries. It can permeate and engulf anything, its bioluminescence is magical and part of its amorphous system.
It's both astral and all too earthly. All around, sparkling threads weave the world's most intricate mesh: those who only travel in a straight line will be able to dodge the stars, but not this. It will be absorbed and be light.

A sprawling exploration of shimmering galaxies and subterranean swampy-tek. Not Mass, Simone Bauer, Thoden, Abo Abo, Drawbridge, and Orchid join forces and weave murky and liquid plots, sanctioning the second part of this VA's trilogy on Stagno Records.

Drawbridge - Boiling Swamp [STAGNO RECORDS]

We are very happy to announce that the first EP “The Other Side” by our friend from Le Midi, Souzo, is now officially out!

Five beautiful originals full of attractive deepness, comforting analogue warmth, and seductive tones for the explorers of the mind.

The drexciyan grooves of ‘A175-4 Levit8’ and the pressure-inducing ‘Don’s Eternal Drift’ set the release’s mood and show Souzo’s delicate taste for sharp, icy transients and round, mellow subs. We just stepped through the gate. Following up is ‘Haze Modulator’, one of those tools you feel like never fading out with a perfect balance between cycles of coercive dancefloor energy and drop-out momentum.

‘Octotiger’ and ‘Overloaded Bucket’ open new corridors and make up the last chapter of the EP where Souzo showcases its interpretation of the drum & bass plus techno cross-bred genre, where rolling hi-hat loops and stomping syncopated kicks provide an anchor to his signature, ethereals and sustained textures.

The release is available for support on Bandcamp and streaming on Soundcloud and any usual platform.
