èvia - "downpour"

✽ We are premiering the track "Bálna Szigony" from the upcoming debut album by @yibai100 ✽

“Rianás” is a Hungarian word for the sounds caused by the breaking or moving ice plates of frozen lakes and rivers. We were struck by the innovation and excellent detailed sound that Dávid (with mastering by Roland Nagy) created on this song.

☛ Rianás is the debut EP of yibai aka Dávid Gerlei, a first-year electronic music and media arts student at The University of Pécs.

Release date ☛ February 17, 2023 via @exiles-electronics

Amnesia Scanner & Freeka Tet - HOAX (PAN 148)
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 148
Release Date: 04 October 2024
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/HOAX

Mutating out of the collaborative practice established on STROBE.RIP, Amnesia Scanner and Freeka Tet are so back with a new dual record project that explores and explodes norms of music production, songwriting and sonic aesthetics. HOAX is *not* an album and remix released together, but rather, a singular experience unfolding as two mirroring, mutually-reinforcing (or perhaps deconstructing) records.

The Amnesia Scanner “AS HOAX” record administers the liquid drip of devastating ballads, wandering mosh-ups and industrial flood lights that we fiend for. But, as with every AS record it is impossible to mistake the grunged-out doom for nihilism: there is simply too much raw emotion, vulnerable narrative and playful experimentation. With drums and chaos from Freeka on four “ASFT” tracks, AS has delivered perhaps their most prescient, hopeful and soon-to-be-seminal record of their genre-defining career.

Against this belligerent crispness emerges the sublime obelisk of noise in Freeka Tet’s “FT HOAX”. This is the debut full-length record released under the Freeka Tet moniker. It is a conceptual art piece that is unapologetically immediate. Using custom bashed scripts the AS record is negated, inverted and buffed down to reveal underlying rhythms and textures.

Freeka has taken the ubiquitous technology of noise-canceling headphones as a point of departure for this experiment in music-denial. The desire for eliminating environmental sounds is turned inwards to undermine the music itself. A variety of original techniques are used for ambient AS cancellation including creating a virtual space simulation and adding noise to spectrogram images.

While Freeka’s gesture is extreme, the result brings you to a serene contemplative plateau. The dual mirrored records are meant to be unlocked together: listening to the drone-ification opens up patterns and movements previously hidden, your newly trained ear will go deeper into the layers of subliminal encoding on HOAX leaving you reprogrammed.

The lyrics are a sticker suspended above reflective abyss: labeled ingredients are anchors that pull a connection out of the crashing shores of Oracle’s baritone sax croning and operatic countertenor samples from latent space. The resulting They Live glasses that are ripped from your eyes makes this dual record project a scathing polemic on state of music and creativity, thus raising the stakes of what it means to be an artist in the post-post-post-digital-crypto-AI-utopia-anthropocene.

Glimpse 1470 (Oct 11 2025)

n 1997, Membrana became the first sonically appropriate record by the electronic act AUTiSM after a couple of totally obscure and amateur releases. The album was acclaimed by Tangerine Dream’s Christopher Franke via the electronic music competition sponsored by the Soros Foundation in the economically struggling ex-USSR republic of Belarus.
The record left no doubt that AUTiSM represents the biggest electronic act in a country where electronic music was the domain of a relatively small number of young visitors to cheap underground nightclubs.  

On the occasion of 25th anniversary of the album, "Membrana" returned in a form of a full re-master, available for discovery, re-discovery, and nostalgia, depending on how close you are to the history of the band.

This release not only marks an important point in the band's history but remains an enjoyable electronic masterpiece, full of analog and digital synthesis and tons of samples from a variety of sound sources. It showcases not only the masterful sample work of Vadim Militsin but also represents the vibe of the time when new digital technologies finally fell into the hands of mere mortals at computer-based home studios.
