Dream Horizons

Gate To Amygdala

On June 27, 2025, a long-dormant signal reactivates from Hamburg's hidden places: Helena Hauff and F#X return as Black Sites with R4 on Tresor Records—their first full-length album and the first release under the moniker since 2014. Like a hieroglyphic recently discovered and translated, R4 feels more like a long-awaited resumption than a comeback.

Recorded to tape with minimal editing or post-production the record is a classic example of the symbiotic relationship that can come from the interaction of human and machine. This punk ethos isn't invoked through distortion alone, but through method; in the album's breaking from the received wisdom of hardness tethered to speed as most of the tougher pieces are lower BPM and vice versa (with one notable exception in the mind-melting stomp of BLOKK).

Across ten tracks, Black Sites traverse a landscape where genre dissolves into intention. It migrates through electro's danceability, acid house's corrosion, and into the liminal realm of machine funk—a genre coined by Andrew Weatherall, which sounds like the results of technology dreaming of soul where the emphasis is on live execution, on immediacy over perfection—a sound forged in the act of creating, not polishing.

In a 2013 interview, around the time of the first Black Sites EP, Hauff was quoted as saying that she wants "things to fit together properly, but on another level, I really want them to make sense together." That principle animates R4: The album's form reveals itself in time, with each movement echoing and amplifying the others to create a synergistic whole.

From the opening crawl of C4 (a name that like the music foreshadows the explosions to come) to the end-of-the-night bliss of MOTHERJAM via the intense peaks of BLOKK, 707, and classic acid track 3D it's clear that R4 is a work made with serious intent; a refutation of a world where streaming has made the two-minute single the dominant musical form again. R4 demands immersion, not just attention. It is not a collection of tracks, but a singular, recursive experience: a mirror in which sound and listener repeatedly rediscover one another.

For its third release, @gracelabelhq gets @lurka on the dials. On 'Signal', the Bristol-based producer serves up a classy four-course menu of bass oddities, primed and tested for club misdemeanour.

The resulting EP is a spread of hyper-distinct tunes, each one bringing special energy to the floor: from the skippy incantations in ‘Spells’, to rude halftime drum power on ‘Hammer’.

VūMantra Records presents 
MORAVIE - [Vūdcast_051]
​
https://soundcloud.com/vumantra/moravie-vudcast_051

Since 2019, Moravie has been carving out her own path in the shadows of the electronic underground — delivering incendiary sets where Coldwave melts into Acid, where Darkdisco collides with EBM and Dark Techno pulses with raw energy.
Her motto? Dark music for hot people. A fierce resident at the legendary Sonic in Lyon, she has shared the stage with cult names like Adult., Kontravoid, Sexual Purity, NNHMN, and Blind Delon.
Through her Darkdisco and EBM events, Moravie pushes the dark scene forward — curating nights where hypnotic grooves and relentless rhythms set bodies in motion.
On stage, Moravie is untamed. From the iconic Sucre to the afterparties at Rock'n'Eat, from sultry Parisian clubs to secret raves in Marseille, and even across Eastern nights — her sets spark raw, magnetic energy under every latitude. She sculpts each performance as a journey, shifting between sensual grooves and martial beats, keeping the dancefloor under her spell without ever losing the drive. Her universe is a textured musical narrative — inspired by her visceral love for Italian cinema and giallos, and the dreamlike, erotic worlds of Jean Rollin.
Each set becomes a sonic thriller, a chiaroscuro tale where tension and catharsis pulse through blood-red lights and shadowy echoes. Nourished by the unsettling visions of Mirbeau, Lawrence, and Mandiargues, and fascinated by the occult figures of Anton LaVey, Aleister Crowley, and the Rosicrucians, Moravie crafts her sets like rituals — where hypnotic energy and fierce liberation collide. Today, she extends her dark signature beyond the clubs: as a bimonthly resident on Radio FG’s Rave Up with Patrick Rognant, she spreads her venomous selections to the airwaves of nocturnal wanderers. Moravie doesn't just play for the dancefloor.
She ignites it — forging a deep, physical connection between bodies and sound.
