It has been three years since Soil Records released the last edition, the fourth in this case, of their Valley of Tears series of releases. It was a fairly representative series of releases of this recording project, and in fact, we were quite surprised by the label's statement regarding this musical collection, however, we are even more surprised that the label is reviving this saga after announcing its end. Soil Records will maintain Valley of Tears as it has done up to now, with a careful selection and vinyl as the only format.

This fifth release brings together four interesting names; two consolidated projects, Crystal Geometry, who joined the Soil Records catalogue in 2019 participating in the Body Shaper EP (remixes), and the Catalan duo NX1, who participated in the commemorative album of the label's fifth anniversary in 2023. The other two artists who complete this edition are E-Bony and Parand, two artists who have been on the rise for a few years now. E-Bony, like NX1, was also involved in the label's fifth anniversary album, while Parand is the only one of the four artists to join Soil's catalogue for the first time. 

Valley of Tears 5 opens with NX1's SL2  (a nod to SL1), industrialoid techno with a punchy, concise punch, which faithfully reflects the duo's sonic character. Crystal Geometry introduces us with Haute Tension in a more rave-like environment with a fast and totally evolving techno. With Missed Connection, Parand chooses to connect electro with techno and syncopated rhythm with binary rhythm. E-bony closes the EP with Zero Point Echo, perfectly structured techno with an excellent sound design.

Release date: February 14th, 2025.

CTSD - [Vūdcast_046]

https://soundcloud.com/vumantra/ctsd-vudcast_046

Uncompromising, unrelenting, and unadulterated techno aptly describes the sound of CTSD’s releases and DJ sets. Veering toward the darker edges of sound design and composition, his productions have found homes on labels such as Void+1, Renegade Methodz, Mord, Demian, and Caedite Eos, highlighting his dedicated approach to pushing the envelope through sonic experimentation and exploration.

His vision and take on contemporary techno has been showcased at venues such as Tresor, as well as through his own imprint and event series "Diorama" in his home base of Berlin, alongside a regular schedule of gigs abroad.

CTSD will play at OHM Berlin for the  VūMantra Records night on the 22.05.2025

TENSIONER
"Cauterize" [EP]

Tensioner ( also known as Cut Unconscious) returns with a new EP titled Cauterize that explores a careful balance between hard hitting techno and classic bass music formulations. Tensioner injects his own unique influences from noise and glitch into this balance creating a ring modulation between techno and bass music that fans of both or either can enjoy.

::: The following text was found scribbled on a half-burned napkin from the well-known ramen chain "Nyx-E", that was recovered inside Void+1’s archive-complex. The napkin was located in the private office of a clearance archivist. Said employee has an MP status from seven days prior to this inspection :::

"I lit another cigarette I wouldn’t finish. Ashtray’s a ruin. They always say you get used to the smoke... They lie...
The recording came in clandestine; no metadata, no chain of custody. Just the title: "Burning Chrome".
Techno, if you still want to call it that, but stripped of official markers. Four pieces, each like a shard of something much older, deeper... like the audio equivalent of looking into a mirror that doesn't reflect your image back.
I’ve heard genre-hybrids before. But this… this was a ritual. Encoded liturgy from some techno pantheon we don't even have a name for yet... Machinery talking in tongues.
It was a collaboration, yes, but not merely two artists working together... You wouldn’t trace it back to two minds, or even one. These tracks don't behave like something composed. They arrived like a breach.... less like music and more like a backdoor into something you were not supposed to know about. Scalameriya and Cam Lasky didn’t "produce" these tracks; they jacked into some shared hallucination and released it into the system to be used by those who still remember what it means to move with intent.
By the end, I wasn’t sure if I was listening to music or being rewritten by it. But one thing i was sure of... Void+1 did not commission this for a product, but as protocol. Something to carry in the bloodstream of the culture like a dormant sequence, waiting for the right environmental conditions to arise for it to be awakened. I will hav..."

Scalameriya is an eccentric producer, sound designer, live-act and DJ known for unparalleled skills.
Being gifted with hyperphantasia, he operates at the threshold of madness through unshakable obsession and a near-mythic discipline that drives him beyond the limits most dare not approach.
In a volatile industry that is plagued by repetition and mediocrity, he remains an anomaly immune to trends and a paragon of authenticity with a sound unmistakably his own.
He further contributes to the electronic music scene as the co-founder of Void+1 Recordings, a label established in 2023 that quickly garnered attention for its diverse catalog that showcases a range of subgenres, from industrial to minimal, reflecting his broad, cross-genre vision of the scene.
Scalameriya's individuality and ritualistic discipline have unsurprisingly proven to be effective, earning his uncompromising and highly refined body of work a place in the catalogs of some of the most influential record labels of the underground, while each of his performances reaffirms the reputation of a skill-demon. An architect of the future, your favorite artist’s favorite artist and an unstoppable force of nonconformity.
