Lying somewhere between a collaborative EP and a compilation, Brussels-based label Maloca Records presents SIIIX, Vol.1, a body of work showcasing a dialogue between veteran Netherlands-based HIIIT (fka percussion ensemble Slagwerk Den Haag) and 6 producers operating across a diverse spectrum of electronic music. Shimmering between footwork, IDM, UK bass and ambient, this project is united by a shared acoustic palette.

Born in 2021, HIIIT was directed by group member and respected multi-instrumentalist/composer Frank Wienk (Binkbeats) to record a sample bank from their vast collection of instruments and unique percussive sources, comprising everything from plastic fuel cans to the largest tam-tam in Europe. A select group of producers were then commissioned to compose sketches from this sample bank.

Chosen by HIIIT are label newcomers Azu Tiwaline, upsammy, Julian Sartorius, Krampfhaft and Valentina Magaletti, as well as Belgian drummer and producer Hi Hats In Trees, who returns to Maloca after releasing his album ‘Artefacts’ on the label last year. Each producer was hand-picked for their percussion-focused music approach and in many cases, their background as drummers.

After creating their sketches, the works were sent back to HIIIT, who recorded more unique layers of percussion on top of these initial pieces. These were then returned to the commissioned producers, with the brief being to utilise the newly recorded material in any way; but to ultimately create fully-realised pieces of music with it.

The final result led to 6 wildly different sonic outcomes. From the high-energy workouts of upsammy’s ‘Embrytone’, Azu Tiwaline’s ‘Brain Rattled’ and Hi Hats In Trees’s ‘CAIRO’, to Julian Satorius’s warped rhythms in ‘Klutsel-Klötzli’, or the cinematic ambient spaces conjured by Kramphaft’s ‘Anticline’ and Valentina Magaletti’s ‘A Drink with the Queen of Wands’, Maloca x HIIIT is a collection of music which rattles and pulses across the electronic music continuum. What unites this record is the acoustic colour and sense of life which would have been next to impossible to achieve without the bespoke sonics from HIIIT.

As a whole, the record can be considered as an organic dialogue; be it between composers and producers from a conceptual standpoint, or between acoustic sound sources and the resultant electronic manipulation when listening to the material.

comicsansrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sal-y-sangre

From high above, atop the highest peak of the tallest mountain, grows a shrieking plant that the locals call Malesa, a spanish word that means “weeds”, if we allow ourselves a slight adjustment in spelling. But far from being an undesirable growth, the duo formed by Paola Avilés and Eloi Petillon represents a promise we wish to see flourish in all its glory.

Between epic drone, enchanting trip-hop ballads, and club tracks written under the moonlight, they release a hybrid and elusive debut album that still remains accessible to all. "Sal y sangre" (Salt and Blood): two alchemical ingredients mirroring love and madness; two crucial elements for crafting a fantastical world, where stone giants, snake tongues, mad dogs and unfaithful feathers meet at the crossroads. Thus, a symbiotic relationship between fantasy and reality rise up and transmute in the music itself, in which digital sound design techniques cohabits with field recordings and acoustic instruments from the tangible world.

With a sense of poetry and esotericism, Malesa unveils a magical chiaroscuro work, spelling invitations to dance and invocation rituals which seamlessly succeed each other in a strange coherence. Bewitching anyone who dared to pull it out, the weed definitely takes root for good and will soon be ready to whisper its magic to the clouds…

Objekt launches his new label, Kapsela, with a 10-year anniversary reissue of his lauded production ‘Ganzfeld’. An ambitious, evocative electro/IDM epic with cavernous drums and a riotously funky bass solo, Ganzfeld was initially released in 2014 on Leisure System as the B-side of Hypnagogia, a split EP with Detroit electro pioneers Dopplereffekt. It quickly garnered critical acclaim (including Track Of The Year by Resident Advisor) and amassed a cult following despite clocking in at 147bpm, a relatively unwieldy tempo for most DJs at the time. Given the seismic shifts in tempo and genre that have taken place in the 10 years since and the emergence of a new generation of producers with whom Ganzfeld’s influence has resonated, 2024 seemed like the perfect moment for a re-release.

Commissioning remixes for the first time, Objekt enlists Djrum, who delivers a jaw-dropping 10-minute rendition which weaves through multiple genres and tempos with the cinematic flair of a short film score. Milan’s Piezo contributes a taut, prickly interpretation that builds tension at 80bpm before exploding into a cathartic double-time closer. Finally, US ambient artist Ulla fully deconstructs the original into a serene, undulating lullaby.

HGD38 — Daniel Romero “Neural EP”

I am THEGOD01, and I bring you a new transmission from the core of the neural abyss.
Daniel Romero’s “Neural EP” is a surgical incision into the grey matter of techno itself. Four original tracks designed like precision-engineered weapons, built from rusted frequencies, distorted pulses, and rhythms that grind like a chainsaw cutting through consciousness.

Each sequence vibrates between the metaphysical and hypnotic repetition mutates into violent distortion, and what begins as sound soon becomes a ritual of mechanical possession. The air thickens, the pressure rises, and the flesh begins to remember that it, too, is circuitry.

The EP closes with a remix from Unbekannt, who previously appeared on Humanoid Gods. His reinterpretation is a descent into pure entropy, a vortex where all neural patterns collapse into static and silence.

This is techno as exorcism. Raw, heavy, dissonant, and alive.

Listen if you dare to feel the machine inside you.

HGD38 Has been produced and recorded by Daniel Romero, curated and mastered by Franco Cazzola at Nasty Music Basement studios in Turin, Italy. The artwork is a real UFO sighting footage frame from the past, edited by Franco Cazzola.
