Sonic Quest” asks: what is the quest?

Set out on a maze of aural psychedelics, where primal forest rituals intertwine. Get lost in the wilderness and discover the answer through a wide spectrum of rhythms.

SIJIN - 4th June 2025

Aerae - Nefanda [SMDE51]

Collector’s Special Edition Limited to 50 copies and exclusive to Bandcamp and Void Vinyl

Plying refracted rhythms with an exacting poise, Aerae arrives on Samurai Music with a fully formed sound that plumbs the depths between techno immersion and D&B beat science.

An accomplished, palpable tension runs throughout Nefanda, Aerae’s second solo release. Following up on the meditative pulse of her debut album on Annulled Music last year, the Paris-based artist digs deeper into ominous atmospheres filled with evocative reverb decays and taut, dynamic drum work — tools she wields to render tracks with specific meaning, coded by the Latin framing that runs through all aspects of her musical output. Contemplating the ancient language as an inescapable part of her European roots, on Nefanda Aerae ruminates on external trials and inner impulses, and conjures a jaw-clenching soundtrack to match.

Finding her own language within the dialogue between techno, D&B and dark ambient, Aerae’s music makes a vivid impression thanks to the ideas and intention that drive her in the studio. Nefanda confirms her status as a leading light in deep, psychedelic dance music, making something extremely personal that also reaches out beyond notions of the self like all the best transcendental music.

Aerae - Mons [SMDE51]

Marking the arrival of his debut EP on Samurai Music, Sciama delivers a deep dive into his shadowy, immersive sound world — weaving layered rhythms, hypnotic textures, and weighty low-end pressure. A precise reflection of the sonic aesthetic explored through his Samurai release.

Taken from - The Untouchables  - Lost Knowledge [SMDELP16]
3xLP/Digital
Marbled LP Edition Limited to 100
https://theuntouchables.bandcamp.com/album/lost-knowledge

Four years on from their landmark Grassroots, visionary half-time heavyweights The Untouchables return with their third album, Lost Knowledge. The duo of Kate McGill and Ajit ‘Nitrox’ Steyns have carved out a space in modern D&B all their own, building on a legacy that reaches back to the late 00s to keep pushing into unexplored terrain with an assured and deadly line in rhythmic intrigue and atmospheric immersion. 
 
Lost Knowledge launches into action instantly with the high-pressure drum science and dubby splashes of ‘Drunken Bells’, capturing the loopy techno propulsion and rolling intensity that drives so much of the output on Samurai Music. Where The Untouchables excel is in finding variety and nuance in their relatively forbidding, pared down sound.  

Nothing happens by accident or feels out of place — McGill and Steyns are in total control, and they demonstrate incredible range and inventive approaches within their focused style. The accent of the grooves shifts, and individual sounds carry all kinds of artefacts, yet everything gets folded into the exacting Untouchables sound with a liberal dubwise sensibility. Brimming with inspiration and immaculately produced, on Lost Knowledge their one-of-a-kind sound is stronger than ever.

The Untouchables - Heads High [SMDELP16]

Introducing Sentient -A Shadow Flickers (Soreab Remix). 

Following his debut album last year, Sentient returns on the label with Unspeakable Periphery: Otherworld Transmission, a remix compilation that reframes his original work through the lens of a carefully curated group of artists.

From Alpha Solo’s dubbed-out abstraction to Clearlight’s tekker translation, from Soreab and La Serpiente tense rhythmic frameworks, to Left Path and Barking hypnotic and meditative zones, the compilation traverses overall percussive science and atmospheric deconstructions.

Closing the journey is a haunting illbient reinterpretation of the entire original album by Sentient himself, reassembling his own compositions into something more introspective - a stretched and fractured world somewhere adjacent to this one. As a bonus, the release also includes a continuous mix version of Unspeakable Periphery.

HL Premiere: Sentient -A Shadow Flickers (Soreab Remix) [XCPT]

The dark master Hoji returns with four tracks on Ornament170.
You’re invited to embark on a journey across the shifting edges — where primal drum & bass meets deep techno at 170 beats per minute.

The path opens with 'Dystopia' — drawing you into a lifeless expanse filled with organic shadows that follow you to the very threshold of 'Visible Edge'.
That edge reveals the true depth and power of the drums as they collide with anxious, distant signals.
Beyond that point lies 'Sairen' — a deep, measured piece guided by the echo of underwater sirens, ready to pull you into their embrace forever.
The final step is 'Tourmaline' — the last key of this journey, a trace that will remain with you always.

Ornament170 continues its course.

Refracted
Archive of Unmapped Terrains [ME006]

“Archive of Unmapped Terrains” marks the third chapter in Refracted’s sonic explorations in LP format. A collection of pieces that drift through impossible landscapes and shifting inner geographies. Built from layered textures, drifting atmospheres, and subtle rhythmic currents, the album invites the listener to wander through abstract terrains where forms blur, dissolve, and reassemble. Each track acts as a fragment from an unseen atlas, an auditory record of places that can’t be found, only felt.  

Releases December 5th on Mind Express.

We believe this multi-talented artist is constantly creating quality music with his own identity whilst experimenting through different schools of electronic music."
