PREORDER - https://murmursrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/sonic-iterations-vol-1

This collection of music sits naturally as the first release on murmurs, exhibiting some of my favourite sounds and artists from around the world. It explores various moods of dance music, setting the sonic foundations of the label and giving a glimpse of more to come.

~ Through the furthest reaches of our feeling and thought, whispers of familiarity bring solace. It is this essence which simultaneously restricts and expands imagination. Let the adventurous nature of our beings embrace that which was, is and will be, in all its unfamiliarity. For only then can we comprehend the auditory murmurs of time. ~

EKKEL - DRUM RING SEISIMIC003
Returning to an aphotic minefield of sound - Seismic Records is back with its third release, Drum Ring, crafted by Norwegian producer and Ute Records co-founder Ekkel. Emerging from the forests of Nordic electronic heritage, Teo Bachs - aka Ekkel - channels the raw energy of ’90s progressive sounds into his mind-bending productions. From the studio, his signature blend of breaks and intricate percussion create soundscapes that are as cerebral as they are propulsive. Titled Drum Ring, the EP captures the feeling of a complete mental trip through a narrative of tension, ancient textures, and enchanting melodies.  
Poised with a sense of urgency, the A-side unfolds with a neatly rolling rhythm. Hradec Fog Fever builds a controlled frenzy of percussive elements, with layers stripping in and out, consistently driving the track forward. Slipping into A2, Owl Foot casts a sonic mist, a haze that tentatively creeps forward, flickering between atmospheric dips and shadowy contours. Vocal-cut whispers transcend through the soundscape, shy yet impactful, drawing you closer. It’s a tender introduction to a minimalist, dark progressive journey - a delicate balance of intrigue and mystery, where each sound lingers like a secret waiting to be discovered.
The B-Side strikes with poignant, powerful drum kicks that reverberate through layers of distortion. Drum Ring displays echoes of tension and unease, building a restless energy that urges deeper introspection. Ancient, enchanting tones weave through the chaos, grounding the frenetic soundwaves in something timeless and mystical. Sealing the EP, Endphase begins with faint, distant string notes that offer a fleeting, hopeful moment of rest. Growling chords and textures swirl, edging you to a meditation, only to be punctuated by sharp, deliberate drum patterns, adding a sense of momentum and purpose - a glimmer of light breaking through the mist.
Experience the full cycle of a delicate trip as Ekkel guides you through Drum Ring - a precious and dark progressive journey.

Ekkel - Drum Ring [SEISMIC003] Previews

This episode of Stardust mix series features Wednesday, a London based DJ who has become a core member of the city's growing trance community.
After her solo debut at SUB:SYSTEM in late 2021, she has been captivating dancefloors with her unique blend of minimal psy, tribal prog, and techno. Earning her a residency at SUB:SYSTEM and performances at respected events in London, Berlin, Yerevan, Lisbon, and Nantes.
Her sets are characterized by their ability to work across various sonic landscapes, exploring the rhythmic and emotional depths of trance and techno while maintaining an ever-playful energy.

"This mix is a live recording from my opening set at UNFOLD last September when there was a takeover from @denandensidecph. I've found the music coming from Copenhagen to be a huge source of inspiration for my sound so it felt really special to be part of that lineup. Given it was a 12 hour party I wanted to set a nice tone for what was to come & decided to play some of the more stripped back, rolling minimal psytrance in my collection which fits perfectly with the stardust sound."

Peregrination est une incantation rituelle, une quête mystique orchestrée par Drawbridge. À la croisée des chemins entre transe tribale et techno incantatoire, cet EP invoque l’énergie des forêts anciennes et des créatures oubliées. Tambours battants, textures enchantées et pulsations gobelines façonnent un monde où la danse devient rite. Cette traversée musicale est le résultat d’une intention claire, façonnée avec une exigence quasi alchimique. Deux remixes prolongent l’exploration avec Blume qui propose une version hypnotique et vaporeuse, tandis que Forest révèle une face plus incandescente et tellurique. Un périple initiatique pour celles et ceux prêt.es à franchir le seuil.

Peregrination is a ritual incantation, a mystical quest orchestrated by Drawbridge. At the crossroads between tribal trance and incantatory techno, this EP invokes the energy of ancient forests and forgotten creatures. Beating drums, enchanted textures and goblin pulses shape a world where dance becomes ceremony. This musical adventure is the result of a clear intention, crafted with an alchemical precision. Two remixes extend the exploration with Blume offering a hypnotic and steamy version, while Forest reveals a more incandescent and telluric aspect. An initiation journey for those ready to cross the threshold.
