DEFUNKT010
Synaptic Signals: Vol. 1 - Pulse

The first transmission in a new series from Defunkt Records.

Emerging from the ether of fractured rhythms and electrified thought, Synaptic Signals is a conduit for the restless, the abstract, and the sonically unbound. A series dedicated to unraveling the pathways of sound—where chaos meets precision and structure dissolves into pure signal.

Volume 1: 𝘗𝘶𝘭𝘴𝘦 serves as a beacon for those who revel in dissonance and form alike, a prelude to the 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘈𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 gathering in Goa, India, on February 20, 2025. Within its charged circuits, four architects of auditory disarray converge:

A gateway to the experience—transmitting now.

Roel Funcken & EXM – Flyphel
Two IDM icons, Roel Funcken and exm come together on Science Cult for an LP that is nothing short of alchemy. Flyphel feels like a living, breathing entity — an intricate fusion of sound that shifts between the mechanical and the organic. Each track unfolds like a story told in textures and tones, with Funcken’s razor-sharp precision meeting exm’s ethereal abstractions. You’re not just invited to listen, you’re pulled into its world, where every detail reveals something new on repeat visits.

This stunning release arrives as a 2 x 12″ LP encased in a beautifully printed outer jacket with matching inner sleeves featuring paintings by Roel Funcken, making this as much a visual statement as an auditory one. With their combined expertise in sound design and their shared commitment to pushing boundaries, Roel Funcken and exm have created something that feels both timeless and ahead of its time.

Imbolc Festival [wavecult] - 9th August '25

Been thinking about Tommy and loss and a whole bunch of dark heavy stuff. decided to make a big scary 190 bpm track for old mate. I reckon he would have had a blast shaking tail to it. 

I've put it up for free download on here and bandcamp if anyone wants it, I hope it helps x

Kamorā - Sauin

Tokyo-based Herbalistek presents Tropism on Ethos Records, a compelling EP that explores the invisible forces driving movement and emotion. Inspired by natural instincts and unconscious reactions, each track translates organic motion into sound—gradual shifts, evolving rhythms, and the subtle tension between control and surrender. Drawing from both internal impulses and external cues, Tropism unfolds as a sonic journey where texture, timing, and pulse form an unspoken dialogue that moves both body and mind.

Patch experiment using the Noise Engineering Variatic Erumption x 2, and Minigorille CV graphic modules x 2. Clock output from the Tiptop Circadian Rhythms into the CV Graphic input 1, left side (purple). Then another output from the TipTop CR taken to the right side (siliver) CV Graphic module. Output 4 from the Tiptop CR sent to the left side Variatic Erumption (ext gate to the hit jack input) which would send very slow burst of random gates. The CV Graphic CV output (PONG sequencer mode 2) A and B would output bouncing ball like CV voltages to the Variatic Erumption CV Pattern, and Time/Division input. This created some very organic scattered sequencing taking one output that was triggering a Snazzy Fx Ardcore running custom frac drums patch.

The other output was running into a trigger input on the Mutable instruments clouds, which is causing the light granular scattering in between the beats. Another output from the V.E. running into the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas, for the FM pluck like percussion sound. Next output from VE running into a 4ms RCD, random triggering spaced out burst to the clock input. From here, the output was taken (4)out to the MakeNoise Optomix set slightly open, which was running a ALM's new "Akemie's Castle" dual voltage controlled oscillator, running out the chord output (OSC A). From the Akemie's Castle the output is going into a Tiptop Z-DSP processed with the The Halls of Valhalla card running program 7 (Asgard). Mult output also taken to the Strymon Big Sky pedal running in "Chorale" mode mix completely wet for delicate melodic swells. Making the rich choral timbres. Another gate output from the Noise Engineering V.E. running into the Mutable Instruments (mystery) module. Output from here sent to the Qu-Bit RT-60 effect module, which is also being triggered (for effects program change) via by the 5 division output from the 4ms Rotating Clock Divider.

Kick drum created using the MakeNoise telHarmonic module, running into a Optomix. Snare and hi-hat sounds courtesy of two Ladik D-333 Rom players. One running the Snares card, and another running hi-hats. Both outputs being summed into the Synthrotek DLY module. The delay input being modulated by a modcan QuadLFO output 1 slow S&H. First sequenced notes via the Mutable instruments Braids running the new "HARM" additive harmonics mode. The quantization was set to "Oinian". Second Braids for other harmony running the "OPSK" smooth sine like melody, VCA mode set to on, with short decay for pluck like quality. Signal for both braids are being sent to another Qu-Bit RT-60 running program number 1-Reverb. Quantization set to "Oinian". Bassline sound created with a Intellijel Shapeshifter output 1, then being run into intellijel uVCF filter in LPF input, then the signal goes out a Qu-Bit RT-60 in program 1 Reverb.
