Globular Clusters (V.A.04) inaugurates the fourth instalment in Materica’s conceptual investigation of sonic cosmology, a rigorous examination of gravitational intensity, massed temporality, and the poetics of collectivity in sound. Drawing its name and thematic architecture from the astrophysical phenomenon of globular clusters: ancient, spheroidal aggregations of stars in dense gravitational orbit around galactic cores, this compilation embraces the metaphorical potency of celestial entanglement. These stellar formations, held in dynamic tension for eons not merely by proximity but by gravitational resonance, become a structural analogue for the record itself: a convergence of disparate sonic bodies, unified by mutual orientation toward a shared affective field.

The compilation thus performs a material and affective condensation, a sonic analogy to the densely packed stellar cores it references. Tracks oscillate between implosion and expansion, articulating orbital dynamics through fractured percussive geometries, smudged harmonics, and the tactile distortion of time-space. This is music calibrated not toward linearity or teleological progression, but toward mass, density, and friction. Within the textural lattice of these compositions, serenity and chaos coexist as polarities held in constant energetic tension, generating a composite architecture of affect that resists reduction to discrete elements.

Eight works revolve within this gravitational lattice. Polymorph’s Pensieri Confusi opens with fragmented tonalities that evoke cognitive disarray. Blume’s Like This introduces recursive rhythmic interference, challenging club conventions through internal dislocation. Sonar by Jovz emits degraded pulses into imaginary deep space, simulating the echo of a signal vanishing into the void. Cortex, the collaboration between Abo Abo and Rudis Materia, constructs an intricate mesh of cybernetic tension and sonic overload. INN’s Uuu atomizes rhythmic syntax into spasmodic bursts, forming a synthetic elegy. HWA’s 8xr offers a distorted, granular reflection on rave culture under collapse. Guana’s Dust Bowl Extraction builds percussive forms from scorched sonic remnants. Baarek concludes with Ache of Being, a suspended dirge of grief rendered in bass pressure and atmospheric drag.

Continuing the cosmological trajectory established by prior Materica releases, Nebula, Tidal Disruption, Wormhole, and Globular Clusters mark a shift toward intensified compression. It is an epistemic refusal of sonic expansion in favor of implosion, density, and accumulation. Here, proximity does not signify collapse, but generative pressure, the proximity of bodies, of ideas, of frequencies folding into one another.

Surrender to its mass. Let yourself be drawn into it.

Seoul and London-based @yonvonkim is rooted in a background of embodied awareness, and her sonic world embraces both analysis and intuition. With a foundation in biotechnology, she approaches sound as an ephemeral architecture shaped by attention, touch, and subtle transformation, evoking sensation and structure. By moving gently through emotional terrain, embracing vulnerability, drift, and moments of raw presence, music becomes a fluid medium through which to listen with the body and hold space for ambiguity, tenderness, and transience. A resonant, liminal space of becoming.

Here is this month's episode by Drawbridge. For this occasion he has selected music that can feel either really fast or really slow to your ears. A Journey through his past and his present navigating through industrial, trance, downtempo, soundtracks and weird elements. Enjoy this big shake of pure psilocybin mixed with some dirty concrete! 

Metamorphosis podcast #022 - Drawbridge

CRUDE and Qi have already created multiple mesmerising projects together ~ 2 mixes, 1 radio show appearance, a gig at CRUDE’s Säule event and Qi’s very first EP release that came out this June - next stop together will be Horoom Bassiani in September.

It is a project that marks the beginning of something powerful and deeply resonant.

Qi is an artist from Yerevan, Armenia ~ exploring transformation, intuition, and connection through immersive, ritual-inflected sound. She is also the founder of Siooqh, a label for sonic storytelling inspired by nature, ancient echoes, and inner alchemy

Qi is not only an incredibly gifted artist, but also a beautiful human being who has become a dear friend that is deeply treasured.

Her music carries both intensity and soul, and I couldn't be more excited to share this journey with her— and with all of you.

Her sonic journey is bewitching and transcends rhythmic ecstasy. It symbolises vibrating liberation and a deep ritualistic hypnosis ~ the embodiment of divine darkness, inner alchemy and collective euphoria.
