xquisite releases is proud to present ‘Summer in Sexilia’ the new album by Cecilia @babiaudi

On the winding roads of escape, running away from the burning city's suffocation, in search of air, Cecilia drowns in the thick, elemental romance of Sexilia island.

The landscape oozes and recalls the radical desire of adolescent souls, a chaste and mystical resistance which flutters and strolls above through ditches, railroad edges, highway exits, stinking alleys owned by starving cats.

Sparse and sculptural breaths, the songs are drunk with melancholic infatuation.

“Summer in Sexilia” is a sensory encounter with the great despair in which the lover's courage takes shape once again, sublime, hanging on the memory of the shining stars.

In the hallucinated Summer of Sexilia, the ground trembles, the hands get dirty and the world craves for real tenderness and silent ecstasy.

Tous les fonds récoltés serons reversés à l'association @lesmididumieofficiel

all raised funds will be donated to @lesmidisdumieofficiel

Collectif solidaire avec les Mineurs Isolés Étrangers à Paris depuis 2016, les Midis du MIE apportent repas, orientations et soutient aux ados en exils.

L’Association créée en 2016 et dont les valeurs principales sont la solidarité, l’accès aux droits, aux loisirs et à la culture, la dignité des personnes et la protection des enfants, a pour but de soutenir et de participer à des actions en faveur des jeunes migrant·e·s.

Les principaux domaines d’activité de l'association sont les distributions alimentaires et non-alimentaires, les maraudes, l'accompagnement administratif, l'hébergement d’urgence, l'hébergement de jour et lieu de vie collectif, l'apprentissage et culture, entre autres. Toutes ces initiatives demandent des ressources financières constantes

De plus, le lieu qui abrite l'association est sous le coup d'une expulsion. Elle a donc plus que jamais besoin de soutien pour pérenniser ses activités et pour trouver le prochain lieu pour continuer d’offrir un accueil de jour aux jeunes à la rue.
C'est pourquoi nous souhaitons lui reverser la totalité des revenus générés par ce 2eme volume de T.I.G.

We are really glad to welcome 𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐘, a sound artist and composer based in Cairo. Renowned for his ground-breaking exploration of sound through experimental IDM music, generative compositions, algorithmic patterns and intricate odd time signatures, ONSY is one of the few artists who has an identifiable and distinctively unique sound of his own. With albums released on notable imprints such as Schematic, Augsmatic Diaspore, Kaer‘Uiks, ANBA, Quiet Time and 3 X L, Onsy’s work is distinguished by subtle and emotional melodies, meticulously crafted sounds that showcasing his diverse artistic vision. Additionally, he is one half of the duo 0N4B and widely collaborates with musicians and visual artists. Another bundle of goodness for Episode Б53 including stuff from Autechre, Muqata'a, Brothomstates, EEDL, Arovane…

Hwa Fi Eh is the DJ alias of Rawyah, a Cairo-based selector and dancer blending experimental club, bass, and SWANA-rooted rhythms. Her sets are raw, emotional, and body-led—where folklore meets distortion and tension moves through sound.

----

Hwa Fi Eh’s mix is a high-energy blend of percussive club sounds, warped techno, and global bass, threading experimental textures with moments of classic rave nostalgia. The mix moves seamlessly between gritty underground rhythms and hypnotic polyrhythms, anchored most dominantly in deconstructed club and techno.
