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.

Fever Dream

Dualism EP is out now on Merkaba Music <3

Soloe’s debut release, ‘Dualism’, refers to the idea of having two distinct but complementary elements; in this case, the eclectic mix of soulful ambient and dreamy sounds with glitchy basses and psychedelic frequencies. The rich and textured soundscapes, evoke a sense of raw, untamed beauty, while the basslines are powerful, driving, and punchy, providing a grounding force that keeps the music anchored.

Whether you’re looking for something to dance to or just something to vibe out to, this EP is for those who appreciate the delicate balance of opposing forces and the unique beauty that emerges from the tension between them. The tracks embody the duality of light and dark, delicate and heavy, and natural and synthetic providing an ethereal and captivating experience.

Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:
"We all come from the Goddess,
and to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain flowing to the ocean
Hoof and horn, hoof and horn
all that dies shall be reborn
Horn and vein, horn and vein
all that falls shall rise again
Sage and crone, sage and crone
Wisdom's gift shall be our own
Crone and sage, crone and sage
Wisdom is the gift of age"
