Subverting compositional and design tropes each step of the way, the Zonra project has maintained a striking consistency in its escape from the norms of conventional electronic music. Straddled somewhere between the dance-centric sound of contemporary bass music producers and the aural experimentation developed by IDM pioneers, Jackson Hale achieves a stable balance between groove and intrigue with each subsequent release, moving that needle closer to either end whenever the need arises. In time-tested fashion, his latest LP is a work of beauty from every angle, and as such, The Rust is incredibly excited to premiere Time Is A Tool as our 61st label release.

Previous Zonra records have featured an amalgam of shredded synthesis, mean breakdowns, and carefully threaded melodic elements. Unsurprisingly, Hale flipped the script entirely for Time Is A Tool; The LP’s opening moments involve smooth harmonies egressing into smooth cadence, and that relationship carries on throughout each track. Choice waves of tension and release, told through the intentional splaying of tones and textures into glitched-out symphonies, creates a permeable catharsis within each fold of the record, slowly churning the listener towards the album’s zenith. Opting for slow, caressing tempos and chord phrases reminiscent of serene lullabies, the traditional throaty bass lines and hyper-compressed downbeats are put out to pasture in favor of a record filled to the brim with particularly intentional and resoundingly magical moments of introspection and rest. For those keen on finding their next sonic journey amidst a crowd with a dancefloor focus, Time Is A Tool is assuredly the album you’ve been searching for.

Eterna EP

FA068: zonae - Eterna EP (OUT NOW)

Following the release of his debut EP, Mizuchi returns with a powerful new three-track project that pushes their sound into darker, heavier territory. Inspired by iconic video games and the suspense-filled worlds of Tom Clancy’s novels, the music is weaved into a narrative rich with intrigue & espionage.

Each track takes listeners deeper into intricate soundscapes and driving basslines, complemented by cyberpunk-esque arpeggios and layered synth atmospheres. Mizuchi's evolving style shines through in these tracks, delivering a sound as cinematic as hard-hitting. With this release, Mizuchi continues to explore the boundaries of their artistry, crafting music that’s stripped back and primed for the dancefloor.

Parkbreezy - Snake Charmer

▶ Soulection ~ The Sound of Tomorrow  
▶ Discover: @julsofficialmusic @sangobeats
▶ Stream/Download: lnk.to/fufuandgrits

Juls, one of modern Afrobeat’s most prolific creatives, and Sango, the eclectic Seattle DJ and producer, have recorded an inspiring set that brings out the best of both artists. The EP channels the sunny and feel-good spirit that Soulection has become known for: Jazz, Brazilian funk, Afrobeat, House, Latin rhythms, and a feeling of genuine musicianship. The instrumental “Ritmo Coco” shines with shimmering guitar licks that play with whispering piano and dueling flutes that transport the listener to a faraway tropical beach. “Angele Ni Fie” trades flutes for trumpets, has elements of Amapiano, and it features playful vocal samples over a steady yet evolving beat. On Fufu and Grits, both Juls & Sango blend both of their musical influences to create a timeless body of work.

Release Date: May 28, 2020
