There was a beautiful, cinematic sound emerging from behind closed doors. It danced and echoed in the hallway as smoke billowed softly from beneath the door which rattled under the weight of a large drum upon the other side.

This was studio pleasure at its very best – a unique moment in time in which creation and magic danced in the air as wild sounds reverberated and bounced between the walls.

Soon it would only be a distant memory, a flickering memory of a record long ago.

Now here is something special – a collaborative release between three heavyweight producers in the form of Plead, Slyngshot and Neewt. The three of them hold no punches drawing for weird, textural sounds with nods to dub, house, techno and beyond. It’s a wonderful release from the OK Spirit camp and one which comes highly recommended from us.

Siamese Twins embarks on its 10th release milestone with the acclaimed Thai performance artist Tul Waitoonkiat. In หนึ่งคำถาม (One Question), Waitoonkiat's poetry is conjoined into a versatile sonic meeting of minds, created in collaboration with producers Black Merlin, Sapphire Slows, and Sleep D. Aligning seamlessly with Siamese Twins' trademark ethos of cultural reflection and interdisciplinary exploration.

Waitoonkiat, known for his socio-political work "2553," which reflects on the 2010 military crackdown in Thailand, has presented his novel "Silence is Violence" through multidisciplinary art exhibitions across Bangkok. One of these collaborations with Siamese Twins’ Khun Fluff in 2022 established a profound connection and laid this release's foundational recording layer. The recorded poem explores existential themes, pondering the endless cycle of questioning and the dichotomy between silence and imagination, darkness and light, with its contemplative imagination setting the stage.

The A-side unveils George Thompson's universe, known in the terrestrial realm as Black Merlin, with two noirish cinematic explorations that compose Waitoonkiat’s trademark expressive and enigmatic voice into the release's fabric. Showcasing Thompson’s ability to create hypnotic, depth-charged soundscapes that captivatingly feed into a broader story rather than claiming center stage.

The B-side begins with a delicate approach to sound design, crafted through the Buchla synthesizer by Japanese modular artist Sapphire Slows. The charm of this version lies within the sustained notes that gently inhale and exhale between enigmatic vocoder effects and layers of beauty, nature, and technology.

B2 closes with a seven-and-a-half-minute peak timer revolving around a pulsating bassline and driving force of drum energy. One craving for packed warehouses and bush raves by the Australian wizards of OZ and Butter Sessions label owners, Sleep D, aka Corey Kikos and Maryos Syawish.

INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/box5ive

For the 387th edition of the IA MIX Series, we are beyond excited to invite London-based ambient and experimental producer @box_5ive to deliver the goods.

With a productive year culminating in the release of his debut album 'Grey Space' via co:clear, a sparse, ambient tinged bass record that blew our minds and remains one of our favourite full lengths of the year. With that record and scattered tracks for the likes of Well Street and Comic Sans, Box5ive is a burgeoning name in the ever expansive and adventurous world of UK bass, grime, and dubstep.

Box5ive's mix explores contemporary independent club tracks, providing a glimpse at his peak time prowess from the comfort of your headphones. There are hints of his bass and dubstep influences, but it's woven in between prime dance fodder that works perfectly under strobe lights as the night morphs into the morning .

In addition to his stellar mix, Box5ive graciously answered our questions to shed light on his musical influences and beginnings, current studio set up, and a look at some of his favourite London clubs. ‎

Ten years ago, festivals featuring talks and panel discussions were a minority in the event landscape. Today, they are numerous—perhaps even dominant. The media ecosystem surrounding this culture has also expanded significantly. This shift has been accompanied by a growing body of literature on the subject, with an increasing number of essays, theses, and even novels exploring these topics.

At the same time, are we witnessing a decline in club practices and a growing disinterest among younger generations in nightlife? Some weak signals, reports, and observations—such as those highlighted by journalist Chal Ravens—seem to suggest so. 

As part of the Nuits sonores Lab debate forum, she discussed this ambivalence alongside Elijah, a keen observer of music industry trends who deciphers them through his Yellow Square project, as well as Günseli Yalcinkaya, author and researcher. Moderated by Felipe Maia.

Are We Discussing More Electronic Music Than Experiencing It In 2025?

Chang and Eng, born in 1811 in Siam (nowadays Thailand), were the first documented conjoined twin brothers. Their fame propelled the expression “Siamese Twins” to become synonymous for conjoined twins. It is also a record label based in Bangkok run by Sunju, Johan, Taychin and Yoshi. A home for authentic, tribally rooted sounds introducing Asian artists and creating symbiotic dialogues with producers around the globe.

Two heads, one path, one pace.
