Now it’s time to share a recording by @eszaid-377145560, an artist from un Avignon who has been very inspiring of late. 

Persistently structured, yet hardly legible. This is a story where time is told in the warp of  shadows and the length of reflections.

For our next installment in the mix series we welcome a new voice from Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung country - Einadia. Einadia is an artist beginning to define a sound through interest in varying forms of contemporary dance and experimental music. This mix is reflective of their interest and focus on dark and broken sound that revolve around intricate forms of bass and layered percussion, underlaid with the textures of ambient soundscape.

With his seventh full-length release, Unterland, Austrian composer and sound artist Kobermann (Johannes Piller) presents a meditative counterpoint to a culture spinning ever faster — one where the next reel, the next drop, and the next dopamine hit scream for attention. Unterland withdraws from this dynamic, offering instead a deep, slow-burning exploration of repetition, space, and sonic ritual.

Created primarily using modular synthesizers, field recordings, and minimal post-processing, the album moves between ambient, dub, and avant-garde minimalism, drawing influence from early New Age cassettes, contemporary drone practices, and tape-saturated club ghosts. But more than genre, Unterland is a terrain — an imagined topography where each track marks a physical and emotional waypoint.

The 60-minute journey begins with Waves, where blurred field recordings and gently detuned drones wash over the listener like fog over a valley. A child’s voice introduces the piece, speaking of “huge waves” — a fitting metaphor for the undulating nature of what follows.

The 23-minute Hokus Pokus becomes the album’s gravitational core. It’s less a composition than a space to inhabit: modular sequences, feedback loops, and noise textures evolve gradually, encouraging listeners to surrender to a slower sense of time. It’s an invitation to recalibrate — to listen in a way modern life rarely allows.

Alebrijes follows as a surreal, protective presence: ghostly rhythms, laugh-like tones, and deconstructed dub pulses drift through the mix like dream-guardians.

The B-side opens with Strobe Pad, where shimmering pads, panned percussion, and reverb-drenched harmonics suggest a moment of clarity — a brief emergence from the murk. The track serves as a light source before the final descent into abstraction.

Small Cases and Unfold mark a psychological ascent: from the minimalist weightlessness of travel into the oxygen-thin air of revelation. Granular textures and filtered drones evoke both euphoria and disorientation — the moment after a summit, when the world reshapes itself around your breath.

The closing track, Future Schmelz, places the listener at a glacial edge, where crumbling drums and filtered sequences collapse into a dance of entropy. Delayed hats, decaying Moog DFAM sequences, and feedback bursts create a post-dub atmosphere — as if memory itself were dissolving.

All seven pieces were composed and recorded between February 2024 and February 2025 using a modular system, recorded and arranged in Ableton Live.
