BUY AND TAPE PRE-ORDER: https://purelifetapes.bandcamp.com/album/far-west-synthetic
 
Second full-length from St. Petersburg-based producer jhg. Far West Synthetic plays like a third-generation VHS dream dubbed to cassette — warped, smudged, and barely holding together. It hums with interference, flickers with half-memories, and carries a narcotic glow, as if recorded deep in a dead zone where no signal gets through. Collaborations with dfyan, Silbad, and FMSAO act like pulses of distant warmth and rhythm, guiding the listener through the fog. Somewhere between outsider house, techno abstraction, and corroded ambient, the album drifts with the feeling of synthetic wind passing through leaded glass. Glitchy, unstable, but still quietly radiant — music that remembers it’s being listened to, even from far away.

Listen to "Controlled Affair (feat. AL-90)" by FMSAO taken from "Ультимэ" (Ultimae) out on 7th June via Fuselab

Bandcamp: https://fuselab.bandcamp.com/album/--8

The magnum opus of Krasnodar-based producer and Fuselab founder Evgeny Shchukin aka FMSAO delves deeper into his sonic world through psychedelic dub, off-kilter dance music, and his signature lo-fi ambient pieces on the gargantuan two-hour album ‘Ультимэ (Ultimae)’. 

In addition to his hyperpop project WOLS, as well as Cossack folklore low-end reinterpretations for Aisha Devi’s Danse Noire on Narcissi duo, Evgeny Shchukin has cut his teeth on ambient and drone fields for three releases under his FMSAO moniker. The curator of Fuselab and passionate collaborator Shchukin invited the label family to breathe a new life into his unique sound and cross-pollinate the sonic map of the community in multiple directions. The most intricate, complex, and trailblazing FMSAO work to date, ‘Ultimae’ is expressing his truest form and pushes boundaries in beguiling ways. Welcome to FMSAO's next musical chapter: Ultimae.

[Premiere] FMSAO - Controlled Affair (feat. AL-90) (Fuselab)

green

The Loosies EP by Cult Member, released in 2017, is a unique blend of electronic music styles, featuring elements of lo-fi, house, and techno. The four-track EP is known for its experimental approach, with each track presenting a distinct mood that ranges from intense and gritty to ambient and reflective. The first track, “Hard to Smile,” runs over five minutes and establishes an introspective tone, while “Back 2 London” is a shorter, energetic piece with a faster pace. Cult Member self-released Loosies in Canada, adding a DIY ethos that complements the raw, unpolished sound of the project

“Say Goodbye” is a poignant and emotionally layered piece that captures the ache of parting and the quiet beauty that lingers in its wake. Archer 23 distills the universal experience of farewell into sound — balancing melancholy with an almost meditative acceptance.

The track opens with a soft, atmospheric swell, followed by a gentle melodic motif that feels like a memory unfolding. The instrumentation is minimal yet expressive — airy synths, tender piano lines, and subtle ambient textures that seem to drift in slow motion. Every element breathes, allowing emotion to fill the spaces between notes.

As the piece develops, faint rhythmic pulses and evolving harmonies give the music momentum, suggesting the passage of time and the inevitability of moving forward. Archer 23 doesn’t lean into overt sadness; instead, the song feels reflective — more about remembrance than regret.

The closing moments are breathtakingly restrained: the melody dissolves into silence, like the final glance before walking away.

“Say Goodbye” is a masterclass in emotional minimalism. Through delicate production and heartfelt pacing, Archer 23 turns a simple farewell into something timeless — a quiet, dignified meditation on letting go.
