Obtuse Swamp's third ecosystem "Reef Stage” from Berlin based producer Ilayruni dives deep into polyrhythmic slow-mo-feeling spatial sound architectures. With a remarkable evolving narrative, the EP is a constant evolution of both rhythm and spatial soundscapes. This time french producer Arsene Martinet along with London based o.utlier and Caldera give us another perspective of the very bottom of our biome. Cannot end this ecosystem presentation with a huge mention to our beloved biome designer @fredonne delivering another 3D exploration of Obtuse Swamp.

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐄 : Ilayruni - Sand Dollars (o.utlier Reshape) [Obtuse Swamp]

"Dsic" marks the return of Aa Sudd on Optic Portal, now with his debut album. Recorded between 2020 and 2024, this album brings together four years of sound research. Glitch fragments, stretched recordings, and physical modeling collide in tracks that resist fixed form. Each piece is distinct, yet tied together by a single process: resampling, reshaping audio until it becomes something unrecognizable, alive.

Dark Currents. For this episode I’d like to welcome 5RVZ.
@5rvz

5RVZ presents 'Dark Currents' - a journey through self-produced soundscapes and re-sculpted, carefully selected works that are layered, looped, and woven into a deep ritual flow of dark and dense atmospheres, hypno rhythmics while searching for the weird and odd. This is not the last thing you will see and hear from the Amsterdam based, London born 5RVZ. 

I’m very pleased that he participated and will be the one to guide us through his musical fascinations.

[DISSECTION] is a mix series where various artists show their personal spice and flavor. For this one, Vekh comes straight at you with cutting edge drum and bass. A lush rollercoaster of fast electronica and roaring basslines. The result is a blend of modern techno-infused breaks and a subtle tribute to the liquid era of the early 90s.

GIFKIKKER is a Brussels based collective and label that fuses roughness and bite with depth- and clarity. Inspired by the sounds of the rustling leaves, flowing rivers and industrial soundscapes, our aim is to create genre-fluid music that blast the listeners into a wall of sound. Experimentation is key, where there are no boundaries.

PREMIERE:bluhol & Jörmungandr - Black Cockatoos Echo Through a Burnt Canopy [Virtual Forest Records]

Buy on Bandcamp : https://cosmicwaverecords.bandcamp.com/album/various-artists-iv-cwr011

This new VA offers a journey through contemporary soundscapes, where sound, texture, and rhythm interacts with fluidity. Nine productions revolve around a shared balance of energy, space, and emotional depth, creating a continuous sonic flow.

The journey opens with Cyberlife, delivering a dark, soft introduction, a slowed-down break with percussive undertones, perfect for easing into the immersion. The energy builds with Jafadan, driven by a dub groove and resonant toms, gradually adding depth to the sonic material. Hohe continues the ascent with a tribal, textured track, built on repetition and vibration in an organic loop with hypnotic tension. Mersel pushes the narrative into an analog and psychedelic dimension, with massive basses and expansive synths. Solarythm steps in with a faster tempo and granular, trancy layers, where heavy bass intertwines with a hypnotic melody. Fonzo shifts the journey into a sci-fi universe, combining break rhythms and dissonant synths to create an evolving, kinetic soundscape. The duo Sublife (Sub Accent and Cyberlife) delivers percussive, introspective techno, enriched with airy pads and breathing analog textures. Yunze Ou leads the descent into the final stretch with a slow, melodic track, deeply rooted in deep sensibilities. The compilation closes with an ambient, cinematic track by 矯激 [Radical], whose deep basses open a space of suspension, somewhere between sci-fi and dreamlike reverie.

1. Cyberlife - Shamanic Neural Network
2. Jafadan - 26-50
3. Hohe - Jouissance
4. Mersel - Complementary System
5. Solarythm - Uzu
6. Fonzo - Magia Negra
7. Sublife - Cyberaccent
8. Yunze Ou - Northern Light
9. 矯激 [Radical] - Nexus 000
