On June 27, 2025, a long-dormant signal reactivates from Hamburg's hidden places: Helena Hauff and F#X return as Black Sites with R4 on Tresor Records—their first full-length album and the first release under the moniker since 2014. Like a hieroglyphic recently discovered and translated, R4 feels more like a long-awaited resumption than a comeback.

Recorded to tape with minimal editing or post-production the record is a classic example of the symbiotic relationship that can come from the interaction of human and machine. This punk ethos isn't invoked through distortion alone, but through method; in the album's breaking from the received wisdom of hardness tethered to speed as most of the tougher pieces are lower BPM and vice versa (with one notable exception in the mind-melting stomp of BLOKK).

Across ten tracks, Black Sites traverse a landscape where genre dissolves into intention. It migrates through electro's danceability, acid house's corrosion, and into the liminal realm of machine funk—a genre coined by Andrew Weatherall, which sounds like the results of technology dreaming of soul where the emphasis is on live execution, on immediacy over perfection—a sound forged in the act of creating, not polishing.

In a 2013 interview, around the time of the first Black Sites EP, Hauff was quoted as saying that she wants "things to fit together properly, but on another level, I really want them to make sense together." That principle animates R4: The album's form reveals itself in time, with each movement echoing and amplifying the others to create a synergistic whole.

From the opening crawl of C4 (a name that like the music foreshadows the explosions to come) to the end-of-the-night bliss of MOTHERJAM via the intense peaks of BLOKK, 707, and classic acid track 3D it's clear that R4 is a work made with serious intent; a refutation of a world where streaming has made the two-minute single the dominant musical form again. R4 demands immersion, not just attention. It is not a collection of tracks, but a singular, recursive experience: a mirror in which sound and listener repeatedly rediscover one another.

*******

I
Beneath the veil of midnight spheres, a restless crust takes breath;
Bright motes traverse its woven grain, then fade to fertile death.
They feast on green‑born alchemy, their bones return as loam,
Thus earth devours its travellers, and wears their dust as home.

II
When copper dawn ignites the fields, the walkers dream they’re free;
Yet every stride is planet’s pulse that leads the unseen prophecy.
Know this: the blood that stirs your limbs once rang in meteors,
Creation’s ash, disguised as flesh, still answers ancient wars.

III
The limits men proclaim as firm are drawn by blinded sight;
For eyes unsealed shall witness one continuum of night:
From seed to maw, from spark to void, one merging tide proceeds,
The maker and the thing unmade are braided in their deeds.

IV
So mark the whisper in the soil, the thunder in your breath:
All motion is the earth’s own thought, all stillness, borrowed death.
When insight lifts its hidden veil, the boundary is undone,
And moving dust at last perceives it never ceased to be one.

***

Chronicle of the Moving Dust unfolds as a five-part journey ~ a ritualistic expression of rhythm, memory, and inner ignition. Orzvyn channels a surreal, high-frequency language shaped for open minds and resonant floors, where fast conceptual atmospheres meet intricately rolling grooves.

This release deepens a personal mythology. After years sculpting a distinct sonic world rooted in introspection, tribal pulse, and what now shapes as a French vision of modern psychedelia, Orzvyn reveals a new voice ~ both precise and poetic. From the radiant trance of Born of Loops and Light to the meditative drift of Unfolding the Grace, each track offers a passage through perception and emotional structure.

Crafted with sensitivity and technical hypnosis, Chronicle of the Moving Dust reflects Neurom’s ethos: sound as transmission, movement as meaning, and music as a mirror of consciousness.

It’s our pleasure to welcome back @sentientsound, this time for a stunning SoundSculptors live set, the seventh episode of this series. His live set definitely pulls the listener deeply into the vortex with it’s dissonant abyssal drones and powerful drum patterns. He created a special mixture of half time and drumandbass, while varying the kick patterns strongly, sometimes even dipping into ambient where he even implemented his guitar. Punctually perfectly dosed distortion marks the intense sound signature of Sentient.

More about Sentient
London-based dubstep, drum and bass, experimental bass and ambient music producer & DJ, Sentient, has carved himself a niche in bass music with crushing, genre-spanning soundscapes, moving fluidly between various styles and sounds.
Inspired by horror game soundtracks with heavy, crushing atmospheres, his love of classical and hardcore music, and the idea of dissociation and abstraction from the everyday, Sentient’s distinctive sound fuses these influences resulting in a mesmerising blend of gloomy and oppressive sonic landscapes that aim to move the listener to an intangible plain outside of their field of vision.

It's been a minute since we heard from Swedish techno experimentalists SHXCXCHCXSH. With their last long player Linear S Decoded going down a storm in 2014, the duo return to Shifted's Avian imprint with a work to confuse and excite: SsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSs (this is not a joke). Each track features trademark SHXCXCHCXSH elements which are all wedded to Avian's monochromatic aesthetic 'wrought with tension'.

Here, we present the ninth track “SsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSs” – or nine "Ss"s if you like – which encapsulates this hyper tensile synthesis most impressively. What is coined most accurately as 'corrosive sound design', the track revolves around warped melodies, wrought iron percussion, white noise and buzzing static. There is what can only be described as an almost redemptive energy contained in “SsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSs”, as well as SsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSs' 14 other tracks. This opus sees SHXCXCHCXSH offering some of their most powerful and emotive work yet. The wait was worth it.

Out on June 6th via Avian.

Kevin McHugh has spent the last few years redefining his sound as LA-4A, focusing on what he terms "roots techno" after a long period working as Ambivalent. This direction is at its most palpable on his debut album Phonautograph, which is inspired by the redundancy of futurism. Tracks are titled after and inspired by obsolete technologies, from the titular early sound-recording device and the semantron, used to call monks to prayer, right up to the relatively freshly dumped dialup (which you can hear on the track); "Technologies that helped create a ‘tomorrow’, but were quickly obsolete by the time that tomorrow arrived," as LA-4A puts it himself. The track we're premiering here is "Capacitance", and appropriately enough it's brimming with electrical charge, acid fizzing through its core.

Premiere: LA-4A - Capacitance

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”

трип 006 is an album constructed with the songs of a varied collection of artists; fast and furious rhythms at times exceeding 140 bpm, live cuts, tracks with a song structure. 

“The idea behind the album was born the other night from a very broad conversation I (Nina) and Tombo had on the way people form their opinions and criticisms. That opinions are reflecting the inner world of the people who criticise and an opinion should be based on something… what it depends on and how this process has to do with growth, knowledge, self assurance and self improvement. That all things are relative and all eyes are different. That in the end it’s important to grow and shape your opinion, make up your own mind. This was the point of inspiration for Tombo - his artwork representing two worlds and two young boys who are affected by the ‘outside’, controlled and manipulated. One manages to escape by shaping his own desires, growth being a matter of choice. Learning that what enables one to see and understand more, is the freedom from anyone's opinion but your own.”

трип 006 continues the tradition of gatefold double EPs as conceptual album. All tracks are selected around a particular story, a trip, and presented as a continuous sonic landscape. All tracks are structured in a way that they can be mixed one with another an endless amount of times making a continuous loop, a trip, that needs only end when the party stops. Kraviz works without release dates or deadlines, enabling her to achieve a certain sound bank to shape the story, unmasking the thoughts and unravelling like a dream.
