SLINK007: Tristan Arp - The Self Elastic
Release Date: October 20, 2023

We are thrilled to welcome our dear friend Tristan Arp into the SLINK family with his latest EP, "The Self Elastic".

A shapeshifter across strains of biologic club environs and tender sculptural soundscapes, this project finds Tristan Arp testing the elasticity of his own sonic blueprint through an exploration of varicolored intensity, mischief, and evolution.

Inspired by the sci-fi writings of Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower and Bo-Young Kim’s “An Evolutionary Myth,” the fluidity of free jazz innovator Ornette Coleman, and a fascination with alchemy, these four tracks are designed for freak-time club rapture.

What would it sound like if one could alchemize a self that is beyond the sum of all our parts. Would it make a sound? Would it have a shape? Would it have a body?

In a debut EP that transcends genre boundaries, Seta Loto guides us through the soundscapes of 'Earth-Related System’ forthcoming on the Lyon-based label Comic Sans. With a sophisticated fusion of minimal bass, atmospheric and UK-style techno, dub and dancehall, each of the five tracks develops its own ecosystem, distorted by alterations of reality as if on psychedelics.

Delving into the concept of a sound infrastructure, the artist lays its foundation in the earth as the primary element. An intangible low-end drifts over the surface of the sound, unceasingly creating an intense, enveloping atmosphere reminiscent of tectonic shifts. Above, organic textures manipulated by cutting-edge sound design techniques and clever re-sampling work neatly share the remaining sonic environment.

Seta Loto's creations resonate with a spiritual essence, evoking an intimate relationship with the wonders of nature and rootedness to the earth.

DH010 – Notte Infinita
Manila Killer Float / Slippery Ruff

Two ultra-wet, slippery dancehall mutations, completed during the hottest summer days in a few sweaty sessions at Studio Distante.

Manila Killer Float is an uplifting bubbly dancehall thing with a Vybz Kartel acapella chopped up and sprinkled on top. Tried to fight gravity and catch the last summer breeze with the beat floating on those airy pads – and of course celebrating the release from prison of the World Boss.

Slippery Ruff is the chugger-town cousin of Slippery Tuff, from INDEX:records EP I Lost All My Data. I took the bpm down from 120 to 90 and ruff‘d it up with some extra dust and bass weight for good measure.

Decoys explore the ways that internal perception distorts and develops as it navigates the fluid boundaries of the self. The EP’s title invokes the distracting and alluring elements of an incomplete double—an illusion that, upon closer inspection, uncovers something perhaps even deeper than its originating source. The title track pairs driving rhythms with dark, rustling atmospheres and layers of competing bass punctured by the screech of unidentifiable machines to create a relentless forward momentum with no clear destination. “Imitation Body” layers found sound to assemble a beat that pushes and pulls with a distinct swing, anchored by ghost-like ambiance and an insistent low end. On “Fear Of Others,” paranoia and uncertainty channel into a chest-rattling dubstep excursion. As the track shifts between two distinct moods, the elements anchoring it mutate and shift. The EP closes with “Respite,” a breathy half-time closer accented by bursts of frenetic sound and warbling bass, as though the music itself is resisting disintegration.

[ER009] Cwtch - Untamed (Previews)
Artist : @cwtchcwtch

Label : @ethosrecords
Title: Untamed
Genre: Techno, Breaks, Experimental, Bass
Release Date: 21/03/2025
Catalog: ER009

Cwtch. Some will see it as a series of unpronounceable letters, like a code to be deciphered. Others will guess that it is the translation of a serene and affectionate place in the mystical language of Welsh. 
This double reading is just like the duo it refers to: both a story of deep friendship and a quest for sounds, meanings, textures, mechanics and machines. 

This new EP from Cwtch invites you to pursue a new exploration alongside the two producers, who illuminate the epic with abyssal bass, transcendental rhythms and a superposition of synthetic tribal resonances. Four tracks and two remixes by RM Estali and Fels create this sacred ritual at the crossroads of techno, ambient and jungle, painted like a pagan work on the walls of the electronic music abyss.

OS004 - Big Hands - Lakamha

In the old city of Lakamha ancient tombs stand tall and ruined, woven with moss. Birds as old as time beat their wings over tropical forests; their cries bouncing off wet rock lassoed with carvings of Mayan symbols.
