B2. Korridor - Somnolence

»sleepstep« is the first collaboration between raster-noton and dasha rush. the record‘s subtitle »sonar poems for my sleepless friends« describes its underlying concept – »sleepstep« is a trip through electronically alienated microcompositions and sound collages that, interwoven with text passages, aim at creating a dream-like atmosphere.

the stations of this journey are striving for oblivion of time, an immersion, a drifting in universal states – death, life, birth, grief, desire. the titles often appear to be raw sketches, fugitive, surreal short stories that rather want to break open than execute.

the musical arrangement, in this context, can be described as rather subtle and fragile. though electronically manipulated, no production technique is pushing itself to the fore. and though clichés are not dreaded, »sleepstep«, as a result, stays away from being cliché. the sonar poems for her sleepless friends are feminine, subtle and personal reports. a musical dream journey in the form of a classical concept record – an album that also stands in the tradition of ambient music.

dasha rush is already known as a techno dj and producer. here on »sleepstep«, she celebrates her alter ego. the cd version comes with a 32-pages booklet that also shows her photographic interest and includes the aforementioned poems written by her. furthermore there is 2 x 12" vinyl version.

On Dyadica, https://soundcloud.com/aawadh conducts a focused study in rhythm, moving fluidly through drum and bass inflexions, split-tempo sensations and atmospheric end sequences. Released via Norway’s nature-attuned label https://soundcloud.com/annulled_music, the album layers diasporic percussion with sci-fi-leaning sound design, building a propelling continuum that feels both tactile and transportive.

Better Left Unsaid

KR3.016

Steve Bicknell returns to @kr3_records , once again unleashing his mastery of power electronics!

Following his two reinterpretations of last year’s "JK Flesh Remixes" and four years after his solo EP "A Day In The Life" in 2021, Bicknell takes us deep into the realms of his sonic mysticism, marking a significant milestone in the fifth anniversary of the label.

Several Streams of Thought LP - is an unrelenting and immersive odyssey, presented through nine tracks, seven of which will be available on a double 12-inch vinyl, with two exclusive cuts in a limited 7-inch format.

Several Streams of Thought

Steve Bicknell - The Power Pyramids [KR3 Records]

Introducing - Catartsis - Ainsi Vient Le Doute [ SousTraitance ]

Somewhere between memory sediment and subconscious drift, “Les matières errantes” marks the second solo expedition of the Sous Traitance timeline, this time led by Catarsis (aka Mathieu Bonnafous).

This new EP from the Parisian producer gathers four elusive productions, each one forged in a different temporal layer across a period of seven years. Oscillating between states, they reveal a raw urge to blur genre borders, where bass-heavy architectures bend into murky techno spirals, breakbeat fragments dissolve into dubstep low-frequency voids, and drum & bass pulses flirt with collapse. There’s no linear path here, only shifting zones and unstable rhythms, moving like tectonic plates beneath the surface of club logic.

A disjointed archive, a driftwork of forms—"Les matières errantes” doesn’t narrate a story so much as it exposes its own erosion. It’s a confrontation of industrial and natural environments for an unique, organic sound, making Catartsis a key figure in the renewal of the French Techno scene. 
Human Lessons premieres Ainsi Vient Le Doute  from the release.

Featuring artists from different corners of the world, this 8-track compilation showcases a diverse range of sounds — from ritualistic drums to deep and trippy techno.

The talented Indian producer and DJ Innerworld offers an introspective journey, blending psychedelic elements, hypnotic pads, and atmospheric textures with subtle percussive details.
