Premieres 2022

Misha Sultan is a multi-instrumentalist originally from Novosibirsk in the heart of Siberia. His hometown's location, in the hinterlands between Europe and Asia provides a deep well of inspiration for his music.

Hive Mind have been happy to work with Misha to bring you this stunning collection of recordings made between 2015 and 2022 which we hope will serve as a great introduction to Misha's unique sound which appropriates elements of Eurasian folk music, psychedelia, 90's chill-out, breakbeat, dub, and field recording to produce something stunning and singular.

"Milagros del Ritmo is the third release of Harmonie Exotic, a label focused on reissues and compilations of obscure tracks.The producer Jose Manuel, already known for his releases on Optimo Records, Music for Dreams and other labels, has selected ten rare tracks from 1988 to 1991. Starting as a DJ, Jose Manuel has developed over the years a passion for vinyl collection. This passion has also turned into work by creating the above mentioned label with the aim of bringing back the art of the past.Milagros del Ritmo starts with the sexy voice of Debbie McKayle in “Necesito tu Amor”. Her vocal mood reminds us “Sueño Latino ” . The compilation continues with “Abadan” by Mondo Bagdad, who combined Arabic sounds with New Beat. Also in “Zena” (Dub) there are middle east and the first Chicago house influences. The next track “Mescla Del House”, released in very late 80’s, sees the Spanish vocal with the drum Roland TR-808. Then the compilation moves from Synth-pop with “Radio Arabesque” to the belearic downtempo with “Waves” by Ambionix and to EBM sounds with “Yoshua” by Danton's Voice .

As the mothership celebrates its second year of cruising through the boundless stars towards the Unknown, it is once again time to bring on board a new batch of like-minded souls. Collectively, we probe the myriad of cosmic layers that form the Ursa Nebulas.
After delving into the darkest depths of the Aranea Nebula, the captain woke up one day feeling an irresistible attraction towards a gentler, lighter glow. Far-off. Unusual in its presence and echoing rather exotic pulsations.

Chasing the chants of these galactic sirens, we set course to new and uncharted territories that dramatically expand the Ursa universe. This is a realm where ethereal atmospherics and eerie vocals casually meet trancey shoegaze, acid blends in with chic breakbeats, and alien rockstars appear to perform video game music. But still... be wary of the occasional grasp of elegant creepiness and cinematic constructs, palpable remnants of our previous journey.

Out of this astral maelstrom of sonic oddities, a new series has emerged that we’re proud to present to you today: Nebula Scarabea.

"This is one of those stories that starts with a boy finding a book in a dusty attic. 'Weird Legend' drags you across contrasting seascapes, offering different lighting from song to song. Abundant in field recordings from this former sailor officer's favorite beaches of Crimea, this material has sounds of the sea and ocean as a main inspiration. Both gentle and moist in its melodies and as harsh as techno can get in its beats, D. Yaroslav’s debut takes a strong stance and doesn’t fall out of character. Once again, we are helping the ones in need. Dug Up The Bongo founder reached out to us with this entrancing material to help Kyiv’s humanitarian fund “Grains of Peace”, started by “20ft radio”."

For their 2nd EP release, Reptilian Business Records are thrilled to uncover Alon.e's new project : Zone Hadale. 

As the title suggests, the french producer will take you deep in the abyss, through mixtures of dub & dubstep, ambient, techno, downtempo, with a millimetered sound design taking the shapes of rare and obscure deep water creatures. Swim with us in these dark foggy streams and underwater pits filled with psychedelic audio artefacts and sonic anglerfish, meet the Blobfish and the Hydrolagus, listen to the Kalevala legend while smoking some Noematic Buds. Leave the scuba, take one long breath, and immerse yourself in the Zone Hadale experience.

Berlin’s Open Music Lab (OML) presents a new compilation of original material from its diverse community of up-and-coming music producers: Diffraction. Drawing from a dazzling range of electronic genres, driven by a spirit of collaboration, Diffraction
captures the potential of an artist community looking fearlessly beyond the mainstream.
The name Diffraction — is a scientific term for the way light or sound waves split and scatter, expanding their range—a perfect metaphor for what transpired at the end of OML’s
eight-month Production and Artistic Development programme. Each of these creators took on a series of intensive educational workshops, with the aim of developing their own practice and musical identity. Collaboration was the cornerstone of these workshops, be it with other producers, seasoned industry professionals teaching the course, or their fellow students. With an endless array of fresh perspectives available to them, each producer hit a new level of creative vision. The result is this unique and inspired compilation.
On Diffraction, the artists showcase their individuality, channelling their cultural backgrounds, personal identities and lived experience. The tracks move through many moods and soundscapes, reflecting the journeys of their creators. From ambient slow-burners like SALA’s “What Are You Afraid Of”, to Gamelan-infused poetry from Panasiagirl, Thea’s minimal stomper “Ponderance”, and Brasilian-inspired club from King Sleepy, Diffraction culminates with a powerful techno track from Palestinian producer YA Z AN. 
Diffraction embodies the core values of OML: creating a tight-knit community of artists who embark on a creative journey together, sharing knowledge and expertise, and uplifting and encouraging each other on the way, ultimately giving back to the scene as a whole.

POELI is an experimental duo of two producers and DJs Sergey Kishkin and Ilya Kasharakov aka russian famous nobody and ELLIPSE, organized in 2020 during a series of friendly jam sessions.
The duo's style is rather difficult to describe in two words: somewhere you can hear rather classical shades of house, some works are made in downtempo style, in other works you can hear beats in footwork style. Despite the multi-genre, traveling through the compositions of the duo, it is easy to trace the integrity of the sound and recognizable style. Their live performances always use live guitar, and other musicians - bassists and drummers - are also invited when recording the album "Album".

This 2nd VA gathered by the reptilian mafia presents a darker side than the first compilation. You will get to hear some delicate sound design from Paris-based bass addict Machka, some deep and mellow brainfucking downtempo from Swiss duo Los Pashminas, and a big riddim from Toulouse-based bass music queen Jan Loup and her high detailed and overdriven footworking dubstep. Oceya turns the next page with a psychedelic soulful downtempo track, tingling your agmydala with her distorted vocoded voice, opening the path for heavy industrial breaks from our friend Mawen, sound engineer of our first release and talented producer based in Bordeaux. Danniel Dhnl follows with his classic gimmicks of "Tribal Guaracha" straight from México, then Nour Kara also from Toulouse, delivers a dark technoïd yet organic tribute to Iranian women fighting for freedom. To close the deal, Da Iguana & Doko Modo prepared some trancey downtempo rooted in earth but crossing the cosmos, Islyz a heavy drum & bass track with reptile skin-like textures, and our close friend Meo is the goodbye giver, with some forest-infused, muddy yet delicate "popperstep" made with his good old octatrack. This compilation is a powerful source of energy, a medicine for cold blooded people, and thus, had to be called Gator Aid.

Sengiley welcomes the first album on the label and the debut, a gorgeous longplay from French talent Naconda - Gibb Street LP.
Exclusive to Sengiley Recordings, Naconda comes through with the absolutely sublime Gibb Street LP. Comprised of eight masterfully created and interwoven sounds from the Toulouse based artist, Gibb Street LP takes the listener on a cleverly curated journey through laid back downtempo sounds, ecstatic and uplifting deep house vibes, not to mention a little dream like ambience and the occasional yet subtle acid reference for good measure. Throw in a couple of superb remixes from Heno Heno and GRiNCH, and you have an absolutely stand out LP on your hands, one that’s certainly not to be missed!

It is like a voyage of discovery into unknown lands, seeking not for new territory but for new knowledge. It should appeal to those with a good sense of adventure.
