Standards & Practices is proud to present the new full-length collaborative release from Stave & Karim Maas, "Into Eternity". Comprised of material that emerged from a particularly fruitful session following their first collaborative effort ("Godless", on the Bristol-based imprint UVB-76), their second LP picks up where that release left off with eight tracks of sleek and brutal bass & breaks music, demonstrating the same kind of disciplined rigor, focus, and attention to detail that characterized their first collaboration together.

From the terse, sinuous opener "Invaders Will Die (The Falling Tsar)"—which moves and prowls like a snake stalking its prey, to the low-slung and corrosive "Liar" and "For A Shaking Mind" (both of which brings to mind some of Mick Harris's work as Scorn), the entire set has a sustained atmosphere of existential dread and brooding menace that is difficult to shake.

Aerae - Nefanda [SMDE51]

Released on Limited Edition Marbled 12" and Digital

Collector’s Special Edition Limited to 50 copies and exclusive to Bandcamp and voidvinyl.eu

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.

Sciama - Between Veils [SMDE52]

Released on 5 Track 12" and Digital

Collector’s Special Edition Limited to 50 copies and exclusive to voidvinyl.eu and Bandcamp

With a steely sound matching fathoms-deep echo chambers with metallic textures and precision drums, Sciama arrives on Samurai Music to press into the inspiring hinterland between techno and drum & bass.

Sciama is the production alias for Michael Watters, a producer who since 2019 has carved out a formidable reputation across a stellar run of releases on ASC’s Auxiliary label. While his music references UK bass, transcendental techno and industrial, the end result is a taut, focused journey through fractured, weighty rhythms and vast, ranging atmospherics tilted towards the darkness.

Between Veils is testament to Watters’ refined production, steeped in intensely detailed and layered sound design in constant fluid motion, whether locked to the grid or shifting across the surface of the track like grayscale snow drifts. Noise becomes a subtle tool in his hands, capable of delicacy as much as abrasion, and discord evokes a haunting beauty if you listen past the clangorous overtones he elicits from his pads.

Moving well beyond the boundaries of any specific genre, Between Veils winds up as a strong, independent statement on the meeting point between broad influences and clear intentions — a formidable addition to Samurai Music’s explorations beyond drum & bass and Sciama’s steadily evolving, singular style.

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.

out on October 3rd.

Unspeakable Periphery: Otherworld Transmission | XM010X

“Tropism” is the unseen force that guides movement which is the instinctual pull toward something greater. It governs how plants stretch toward light, how bodies sway to rhythm, and how thoughts drift in response to invisible stimuli. This EP attempts to capture those motions, translating them into sound: gradual shifts, unconscious reactions, and the tension between control and inevitability.

The Untouchables – The Hidden Files [SMDE53]

Released on Limited Edition Marbled 12" and Digital 
https://theuntouchables.bandcamp.com/album/the-hidden-files

A vault of deep pressure unlocked – The Hidden Files collects a set of heavyweight VIPs from The Untouchables, each a reimagined version of past dread-infused cuts. Typically crafted for — and reserved within — their own DJ sets, these alternate versions are now unearthed for wider transmission. 

Stripped back, rebuilt, and submerged in new layers of sub-weight, they explore a more introspective energy. Tension, restraint, and meditative pressure — the Brussels duo reveals hidden forms with signature finesse.
