Ego Death

Pre-order

PREMIERE: Fragile X - Ego Death

SETI

2020 goes on impassively and we are still immersed in outbreaks and freedom restrictions within society, with our two clubs and record store closed due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, our nature of resistance and strong mentality carries over to this second volume. An association of artists related to our collective coming from all corners of the Iberian Peninsula as well as from the Balkans, representing their own personal movements, labels and collectives.

Producer Osill, coming from the Red Home school (Jm.Aboga) takes us into the deep, melancholic and round landscapes of dub techno, perfectly reproducing the most classic canons of the style in “Untitled I”.

The Madrid duo UHF (David Aragón + Milford) board on “Endless Illusion” with the mission of distorting our reality with the blow of a break and show us a crystalline future through a solid mantra of evolving synths and pads surrounded by ethereal melodies.

If the urban elements of a dark near future had a sound representation, they would be a tangible and faithful reflection of "Embrace The Dark Side", a creation by Negocius Man, where he teaches us, through its forcefulness, the implicit beauty of the dark side of any creation.

The love theme of the prom at a robot institute in year 3000 comes from the Kraftwerk inspired euphoric synths and vocoders of Dark Vektor, with whose “Tanzliebe” hits us again with a compendium of a rendered universe typical harmonies.

Large-Scale Aggressor is the new incarnation of Amper Clap, laying the foundation of its new pseudonym with this “Ally or Enemy” and by using thick and frosted broken rhythms, emotional as well as brilliant synths reinforced by post-apocalyptic bass lines and vocals.

Ephemeral unions generate beautiful and authentic products, “Silent Love” synthesizes the power of techno fused with the emotionality of melodic electro, a creation by Mutant Cassette (Jose Sáez + Cascales) where they insufflate this track with an ascending vortex of pure euphoria.

Siarem returns to HC Records with a pure yet evolved EBM reminding us Front 242's best b-sides but with 21st century sharpness and definition, rugged bass-lines and vocals encouraging urban combat.

From Serbia, Alavux lands in Valencia with “Time Shifter 03”. A metallic, rough, mechanical and industrial electro track leaving us without a rest and recorded in a single take where the primary impulse prevails over planning, providing greater strength to the track.

The longest track in the compilation is provided by Abiz Sonko, who over eight minutes develops an emotional but also metallic Techno that converges in a slow-cadence hymn called “Army Of The Broken Souls”.

Mysterious Group drag us once again into the most mechanical and industrialized mud in “200713_0677” where forcefulness, minimalism and a horizon loaded with steam reflect the tireless hammering of Techno.

The most acid and refined vision of the most constructive and current Techno is provided by 9n9u9e9v9e9 in “R.H.P Landing on Thelisto”.

The return to the streets of a near future comes from the hand of Kastelian, Domingo Dark Vinyl’s new pseudonym, in “Ghetto Cyberpunkers”. Dirty breaks, energetic synths with a vintage aroma and a conjunction of old school street voices.

Finally, The Lost Boys’ second appearance is a faithful reflection of the urban, rude and combative present in which we live, which looks back on past times without losing the futuristic and innovative sense of offering what is incompatible in principle. Rap lines, thunderous bass drums, acid synths and 90s memories come together in “Control The Beat”.

See Blue Audio: ambient / electronic / beatless / cinematic / downtempo / eclectic / introspective… Shade rather than light...

2021 has already become a very productive year for Glaswegian electronic artist Fragile X. His Bricolage label has released a wealth of distinct and diverse music, while the Fragile X album 'Between Worlds' on the Soundtracking The Void imprint received justified praise and support. Now he returns to See Blue Audio with his third themed collection, 'The Inner Circle', and the twenty-first release on the label.

The story of 'The Inner Circle' goes back to 2016 and 'The Outer Circle' released on Bricolage. Subtitled 'A Semi-Conscious Experience', it captured the mood of a Sunday morning after a long weekend and travelling home on a busy subway train from the West End of Glasgow. Field recordings made on the journey were used as the basis for a series of tracks that reflect this special post-clubbing state of mind.

Field recordings also form the core of 'The Inner Circle', but whereas its predecessor was a little raw and rough around the edges, this long overdue follow-up is more refined and thoughtful, more mature even, in terms of both production and and ideas. This is also reflected in the setting of the field recordings: 10pm on a quiet weeknight and travelling from the south side of the city. In both cases, the destination and final stop were the same – home – but 'The Inner Circle' is more introspective in tone. Essentially, this is the story of the subway environment expressed through music.

This second collection of five tracks, predominately beatless, begins with 'One Way' and the implication is clear: this journey has an ending. As often happens, we experience a sense of exhilaration when entering a subterranean world, and the dreamlike, slow-motion synths are reminiscent of 'Departure from Nowhere' and 'Colour in Motion', the opening tracks on 'Maps of the Lost' and 'Chromatherapy' respectively, both released on See Blue Audio in 2020. This is followed by 'Kinning Park', a suburb of Glasgow, and we are now fully immersed in an underground world of metal and machines. There's a feeling of anxiety, even claustrophobia, to this track with its eerie bleeps and shadowy sounds.

As we reach 'Shields Road' and closer to home, the atmosphere is lighter, lifted by ethereal washes of electronica and trippy beats, which appear for the first time on 'The Inner Circle'. Then it's onto the post-industrial area of 'West Street' with its euphoric ambient tapestry of sound, which breaks down to an electronic pulse taken from a field recording of a train in motion, a hypnotic sound that surely resonates with us all.

Finally, 'Home' as the train pulls to a stop, and we pass through the ticket barrier and into the cool night air.  Exquisite and cinematic, it's a sublime ending to the story, but as is often the case, tinged with sadness now that the journey is over. As in life, most journeys are a bittersweet mixture of highs and lows, tension and excitement, communication and contemplation.

'The Inner Circle' is a musical dialogue between a mechanical underground world and the stories of the travellers through that world, as imagined by Fragile X, who fleetingly appear and disappear in the short stops between stations. The field recordings are far more than just background sounds, and they have been looped and integrated into the music that surrounds them. Cables buzzing, trains approaching, brakes screeching, doors closing, tannoy announcements, dripping water and the clang of metal, the buzz of commuters, the very stuff of life. In the context of 2021, it's also the sound of the slow and hopeful return to normality from the coronavirus pandemic.

New Mass Hysteria, this time we have guest Mystery Friend from Argentina, who delivers a mix of old school house/acid from records of his personal collection, perfect for the beginning of summer. First hour by resident Dolorosa, also contributing some house.

Mass Hysteria w. Dolorosa [24.06.2021]

A soundscape between dream and transcendence.
“Ambient meets Spirit – Floating Realms” drifts through luminous dimensions of light, sound, and memory. Electronic textures merge with soft panflutes, Asian harmonies, and deep dark-techno sub energy. Every sonic wave feels like a breath — sometimes pulsing, sometimes floating, sometimes silent.

The album opens like a digital temple gate: orchestral strings unfold across ethereal pads before sub-bass currents rise and fill the space with infinite depth. Between mechanical rhythm and spiritual melody, a dialogue emerges — between human and machine, earth and data, body and soul.

“Floating Realms” is not music you listen to — it’s a state of being.
An audiovisual dream woven from code, emotion, and light.
Perfect for moments when you close your eyes and let yourself drift away.
