Elsa - Subsol EP [CA010] Preview Clips

Both originating from Basel Switzerland, experimental dance outlets Amenthia Recordings and A Walking Contradiction combine forces and present their first collaborative release. Both known for their dare-to-do-different approach and proudly presenting sounds that come from their inner circle of friends they compiled the Flash Crash / Hack Crash EP with exactly this mindset. From Agonis' heavy stepper to Konduku's whirlpool of low frequencies on the Amenthia side with Lemont continuing on this same low-end tripped-out tip to the slo-mo swamp sounds from Varuna representing A Walking Contradiction in typical fashion.

For the first album release on Pure Space - and a welcome addition to our Home Listening Series - we are excited to present "At Every Corner" by Mara, a pivotal figure in Eora/Sydney's experimental music community.

Infotext:
Sometimes, we have the tendency to run away from distress because we do not want to deal with the feeling of pain, but the first step in spiritual healing is overcoming the fears and recognizing the pain. The sooner you address the cause of your difficulty, the sooner you’ll get freedom from the pain. Be aware of your situation.
Once you have faced the source of anxiety, you need to acknowledge the pain. Feel your emotions and question what their sources are. Be honest about your feelings. In this stage, it is normal to feel like situations are beyond your control, which can transfer the feeling of hopelessness. However, by allowing yourself to feel rage, it becomes easier for your wounds to heal. Honor your feelings.
Honoring your pain will teach you self-forgiveness. You should be able to feel the kindness within you and experience all the love you have for yourself. You will feel a conflict between the instinct to heal on your own, and the desire to accept the situation and seek support to get healed. You prove that you have an unwavering determination to get healed by choosing the latter. When you want spiritual healing, you have to place your faith in the universe, too. 
Surrendering the pain means releasing the pain and seeking support from the universe. It will help you ease your sufferings.
The negative ego vanishes from within you and makes your heart feel lighter once you release your pain. This is a sign of spiritual wellness. You will start to feel a deep openness towards things and think with a peaceful mind. You will become whole again and you will develop the ability to deal with the disruptions of your life with tolerance. The inner peace will be restored. Feal.

PREMIERE : @veilnothingsreal - Pretty Light @ethosrecords
Track name: Pretty Light
Release name: Borrow My Eyes
Buying link: https://ethosrecords.bandcamp.com/album/borrow-my-eyes
Premiere date: 2025-01-21
Release date: 2025-01-24

Sometimes you do things that you don't really understand until much later. You play drums in a band at school, you get immersed in the electronic layers behind video games, and then you fall in love with analogue machines. Veil has carefully woven all these stages into his project, which is as musical as it is visual.

His new opus, ‘Borrow My Eyes’, reflects his universe tinged with science fiction, UK influences, ambient and textural interplay. Variations in broken rhythms collide with flashes of electro and murky synthetic veils, creating a cinematography that is both raw and enveloping.

The four tracks provoke an experience that is both sonic on the outside and visual on the inside. Your eyes close and your mind opens up to Veil's mental screen, offering a slice of your memories that you can interpret with the nostalgia of your choice. The Dutchman job sifre offers a tangy, deconstructed version of this with his remix of the track ‘Pretty Light’.

Borrow My Eyes

PREMIERE : Veil - Pretty Light [Ethos Records]

Tracklist: 

1. DAWUH
2. NGALENGKAH
3. TUMUWUH
4. NYEUNGEUT LAUT
5. PAPAIT NU AMIS 
6. LIMPEUR 
7. MIRENG LEUWEUNG

As most of us now live in a world saturated with information, this album feels like a reflection of how the modern world might sound if it were to process its own chaos through a unified scream. Hailing from the highlands of Bandung, West Java, a city where tradition and modernization intertwine in the rhythm of daily life, Xin Lie unpretentiously translates this cultural fusion into a sonically rich and rhythmically bold debut LP.

The artist’s roots in the hardcore and punk scenes reverberate throughout the album, though they’ve been reshaped and refined for the club. There’s an undeniable pleasure in experiencing the chaos Xin Lie channels—irregular beats, dynamic frequencies, and disjointed grooves collide and expand, each track laced with a sense of unpredictable energy. Yet even in its most chaotic moments, the music feels deliberate, its edges softened by a sense of compositional care.

The album reveals a strange duality: tracks that seem to beckon you to the dance floor but never quite let you settle there. Frequencies flicker and fluctuate in patterns that feel just slightly off-grid, as though resisting traditional structures. Yet, amidst the digital textures, Xin Lie weaves in organic sounds—snippets of native conversations or environmental noise—creating layers that feel both intimate and expansive.It’s fair to say this album extends far beyond the boundaries of today’s club music.

Picture this: you’re moving through your daily routines—mundane, repetitive—and suddenly, the music shifts your perspective. It reframes the ordinary as something surreal, as though it’s deconstructing itself in real-time, breaking into fragments or conjuring entirely new forms. Perhaps it’s best imagined as the soundtrack to a multi-sensory art installation or a performance staged not in a gallery but in an unassuming house down your street. Who’s to say where it might take you?

XIN LIE

XIN LIE - XIN LIE LP (DDR007)

This radio show seeks to explore and visualize the vast spectrum of human emotions and everyday moments through sonic experimentation. By blending a wide array of sounds—field recordings, poetry, spoken word, and influences from past and contemporary artists—i want to create an immersive, multisensory experience that challenges traditional boundaries of perception.
Drawing from genres such as experimental, ambient, drone, noise, deconstructed, emo, downtempo, and beyond, the show will serve as a canvas for emotional depth and complexity. It will offer a journey where sound becomes a mean for introspection, revealing how emotions, thoughts, and reality itself can become fluid and uncertain.
In this space, words will coexist with sounds, inviting listeners to experience a reality that is both elusive and vivid, where the lines between the spoken, the heard, and the felt blur into a dynamic exploration of what it means to be human in an ever-shifting world.

qanossonap is an artist  based in Athens, Greece, known for their experimental approach to sound. Their work often explores themes of memory,  body, feelings  and the dissolution of boundaries between self and environment. Their music is characterised by a blend of electronic, experimental, ambient and dance elements.

The first release on Project Squared in a year, "Make Your Mess" is a three track EP by Melbourne's Craig McWhinney. Craig has been making music for years and releasing since the late 2000s on Melbourne labels such as Pinksilver, Melbourne Deepcast and his own Haul Music; also on labels based further afield such as Brendon Moeller's Steadfast and Speedy J's Electric Deluxe.

Craig's music is Techno, but it isn't preoccupied with the 4/4, employing broken, swung and rolling drum patterns. His tracks often include melodic and harmonic elements and effects reminiscent of Dub Techno but without conforming to the pastiche template of the sub-genre.

The Make Your Mess EP is composed of the core title track and two additional tracks that arose as interpretations and variations on the initial production: "Provocation Is An Excuse" is more furious and loud, "Disengage" is more restrained. All three are around 125 bpm and were produced in the space of a month between September and October 2012.
