PREMIERE: Gillielove - PF1 [Ethos Records]

The new album by experimental sound designer and electronic music producer Rando Arand takes the artist on a completely different path compared to the previously known dance music influenced deep and contemplative instrumental tracks.

Featuring several notable guest artists, the album is a sizzling hot record that makes feet tapping and bodies grooving.

On the artist’s most listener-friendly work to date, an impressive lineup of Estonian vocalists makes an appearance: Hyrr IV, the lead singer of the indie band Ouu; Jon Mikiver from Elephants from Neptune; actress Mirtel Pohla; alternative pop artist Kitty Florentine; queer artist Helgi Saldo; comedian Maiduk; and hobby musicians Maihe and David.

The conceptual album "Child of the Internet" is dedicated to young kids for whom the internet has been a defining part of growing up. Genre-wise, the album is very flexible, weaving through various musical chapters and styles with the help of numerous musical sketches, touching on both the comedic and the darker oddities that circulate online.

The album features scorchingly hot, electrified synth-funk jams with a nostalgic touch reminiscent of Prince ("Slidin in Yo DM’s", "Refresh"). Kitty Florentine delivers a sensual neo-soul ballad ("Just Scrolling"), filled with soft tones, soulful warmth, and a smooth groove.

For more demanding listeners, the record also explores elements of chillwave, glitch, lo-fi hip-hop, techno, house, and breakbeat. Longer tracks and shorter interludes come together like a bouquet of favorite memes or a collection of countless open web browser tabs that we all keep running. At the same time, the album hints at the immense impact the internet has on our everyday lives.


Rando Arand’s latest studio album is an intriguing listen — perfect for enjoying alone with good headphones or as an ideal background soundtrack for a larger gathering with friends.

FCKDSKO Releases Auditory Pareidolia Induction, A Techno EP That Tricks The Senses

Denver-based producer FCKDSKO returns with Auditory Pareidolia Induction, a hypnotic techno EP that draws directly from the psychological phenomenon in its title—auditory pareidolia, the brain’s tendency to perceive illusory sounds that don’t exist, like voices, harmonies, or melodies inside existing sounds. 

This concept becomes a compositional tool across three immersive tracks that explore how repetition, distortion, and modulation can trick the ear, pushing listeners to hear beyond what’s actually present.

The opening track, “Auditory,” sets the tone with industrial undertones and a rolling hypnotic pulse. Jazzy cymbals flicker against cascading effects, while distorted synths rise and recede in waves. Patterns seem to form within the chaos—phantom melodies and rhythms emerge, then vanish. It’s a shifting soundscape built for deep focus and altered perception.

“Pareidolia” is a broken-beat detour with a funkier swing. Its centerpiece is a Reese pad so heavily modulated it feels organic—warm, brassy, almost like a baritone saxophone. This pad can create auditory illusions of harmony and motion when juxtaposed against the ghastly, undulating pads that swell and shrink throughout the composition. It’s dissociative and deeply satisfying, inviting repeated listens to decode its layers.

The closing track, “Induction,” channels acid and melody through a slow-building arc. Crisp percussion anchors the evolving synth work, as the track crescendos toward a wall-of-sound climax infused with breaks and harmonic saturation. By the end, you’re not sure if what you’re hearing is truly there—or just your mind connecting the dots.

FCKDSKO is a genreless manifestation of distorted, reverb-laden dance music, typically dark and atmospheric but guided by a love for all forms of psychedelic expression. That experimental lens defines his approach: unbound by dance music convention, he draws from techno, ambient, breaks, and even minimal classical composition. This boundaryless style has earned praise from artists like Takaaki Itoh, Pan-Pot, Slam, Alexander Kowalski, Noir, Marco Bailey, and Dimi Angelis.

His tracks have appeared on underground tastemaker platforms including HATE, 6AM, ballacid, Ltd, W/Lbl, and Les Yeux Orange, while sharing lineups with forward-thinking selectors like Christian Smith, Exos, Neel, Tin Man, and Pig & Dan. FCKDSKO is also a resident of Nocturnal, a Denver-based collective known for its cutting-edge sonic curation.

With Auditory Pareidolia Induction, FCKDSKO invites listeners into an altered state—where sound deceives, rhythms blur, and hallucinations arise not from what’s present, but from what the mind wants to hear.

KINETIC ENERGY BOUNCING IN WAVES

London by-way-of New Zealand producer SDS MAX arrives on excess, armed with 4 imposing leftfield cuts, including a razor sharp collaboration with Bristol MC Grove.

No time for pleasantries, ‘Tun Up’ opens with Grove’s hypnotic vocals layered over rippling drums and high-end synths. The energy builds to a stomping hook while Grove holds court over the swelling bass, conducting and guiding you through. Track 2 ‘Sleep Walker’ resets the levels with dreamy melodies before SDS Max forces you awake with dubby bass and the crack of a snare. 

Combining clap shots, metallic sonics and oscillating stop-start bass, ‘Two Holes in Your Umbro Jumper’ gives off the eerie buzz of a rave on an abandoned space station. Imagine walking the endless corridors, with ravers rattling around in zero-g and strobes lighting up the airlock. We’ve not reached the outer solar system yet but SDS MAX knows how to bring the vibe back to Earth. Closing track and EP namesake ‘Murky Water’ features a total onslaught of percussion, bass, and laser gun synths likely to turn the dance on its head and leave the crowd reeling. 

With previous releases for the likes of Vief and Hefty Bruises, SDS MAX continues to push forward on this solo EP for excess.

Sounds of Lava Lava 13
Jakob Mäder
Sparkling
Release Date: 23/05/2025

Lava Lava proudly welcomes Jakob Mäder to the family with an irresistible 2-track debut.

Over the past few years Jakob has become an influential figure in the Stuttgart scene, running events with his Midnight Service crew and playing alongside acts like Johannes Albert, Marie Lung and Panthera Krause. When he’s not been playing live he’s been notching up acclaimed releases on Frank Music, Zissou, Skylax and Berlin Bass Collective as well as his own Constant Change imprint.

Title-track ‘Sparkling’ kicks off the EP with crunchy percussion and rounded bass notes. Classic piano lines interplay with spiralling synths and acid hooks while echoing snare hits drive you through this peak-time track.

'Enjoy The Light’ blends modern Deep House sounds with club-focussed 90’s nostalgia. Low slung drums and shuffling percussion bounce alongside bright keys and breathy angelic vocals while spaced out synth licks unfold across the track giving an added sense of depth and warmth.

PREMIERE: Mndset & CYRRCA - COMMUNICATE ENERGY (Suff Daddy Remix) [Broadway East Sound Tank]

The Scottish artist Alasdair Gray (1934-2019) is a ninth-generation ecological fox. His novel Lanark: A Life in Four Books (1981) is considered a masterpiece of weird, realist fiction and surreal, dystopian storytelling.

U-1 Flight by new-dot-com goes in a comparable direction with its five tunes that boldly explore the realms of edgy techno, heavy bass, and trippy dub. They use factual basses, kicks, snares, claps, hi-hats, and devious sonic shapes and reassemble them into diverse, thoroughly fictitious textures, structures, and ruptures.

“The U-1 flight from Unthank may proceed to Hampden as planned on beam co- beam co- beam coordinate zero flux zero parahelion 43 minutes 19 point nought 7 seconds epihelion ditto neg- ditto neg- ditto negating impetus reversal flow 22 point nought 2- nought 2- nought 2- nought 2- nought 2 beyond the equinoctial of Quebus on the international nerve - national nerve - national nerve-circuit-decimal-calendar-cortexin-quantum-clock. Message understood? Over.” (Chapter 40: Provan)

Clever as a fox, the narrator goes down his own road and sees what happens along the way. And how does Lanark react to the cited announcement?

“It sounds like gibberish to me.”
