Following a fallow 2020, Marginal Returns is proud to present the solo debut of Berlin-based, Sardinian-born Enrica Falqui (who has previous releases as half of techno project Eris and half of experimental project Yhdessa).

Plexus splits the difference between Falqui's ambient and dance floor modes. Side A opener ‘Veda’ is a hopeful downbeat dawning, A2 ‘Mond’ a Burger/Ink reminiscent slice of Pop Ambient and side closer ’What She Got Right’ songful and contemplative. Side B is darker, faster, and for the night, containing the EBM-tinged stomp of ‘Plexus’ and afters-electro glide of ‘Aquarius’.

1 More Thing proudly presents a brand new member of their misfit menagerie: Bairn. 

A freshly hatched alias from London-based underground provocateur and multidisciplinary artist Katamine, Bairn is a concept inspired by that exciting sensory innocence every single one of us experienced as children when first experiencing life's beauty and tragedy. 

Driven by that overwhelming sense of wonder, surprise and contrast that has been incubating deep in their subconcious for so long, Bain is a reflective exploration of worlds, sounds, pictures and emotions informed by years of theory and practice in both the electronic and classical realms. 

This is their first adventure, the beguiling debut It's You; an enigmatic weave of ambient, techno, progressive and score music, chased back with a subtle sip of Gaelic. 

It's never too late to be the vision your childhood dreamed of...

Dojo Zone comes through with his first EP. Four cuts drifting between melancholic electro to more driven beats infused with breaks intended for the dance floor. 

Born in the UK and raised on the balearic island of Mallorca, Dojo has been keeping a low profile for quite some time, both working on the craft of programming drum machines, and finding a balance between reality and his beloved synth induced voyages.

Mastered at Analogcut.

PAYPHONE - UNICORN SYSTEM - Blkmarket Music 
[Blkmusic 009 - 10TH RELEASE]

The 10th release on BLKMARKET MUSIC features Payphone, with ‘Unicorn System.’ From the founders of Toronto’s Payphone Studios and members of the Hypnotic Mindscapes crew and record label, the Payphone trio make their label debut with 4 hardware-heavy tracks. This elusive 3-member live-act take a functional yet improvisational approach, influenced by years of chasing the wonk during late-night jam sessions.”

Kicking-off the EP is the retro futurism of ‘Don E = Dark O’ - a melancholic, chiaroscuro-esque house-meets-techno track harking back to a bygone era of rave. The A2 ‘Fool Circle’ shifts gears into the afterhours with an infectious, metallic groove. On the flip, aquatic-deep techno cut ‘Sea Sex Librarian’ dubs things out with trippy vocals and a booming round baseline. Rounding out the EP, ‘Get Outta 84’ conjures cinematic dystopia with deep electro-infused breaks.

The unhurried rhythm of evolution.

Slow Life came into being in 2011 when an easygoing set of Spaniards & Italians crossed paths and coalesced in Berlin. The current collective consists of Laurine, Cecilio, S. Moreira, and Santi Uribe a.k.a. Indi Zone. The music they play, like the music they produce, is bound together by threads of luminosity and timelessness. 

Between innumerable hours in the studio, a knack for sourcing new talent, and thoughtful art direction, the label grew steadily and organically, and a signature Slow Life identity began to emerge. This led naturally to parties at their homebase in Hoppetosse and the globe-trotting showcases for which the group has become widely known. Ardent digging and long, mesmerizing DJ-sets are central to their craft; they fabricate a musical space for the audience to get lost in, the adventure going as far and deep as the collective imagination will allow. To put it simply: they know how to throw a party and make you feel right at home. 

Each release on the label invokes a timestamp of their intersections and environment, resulting in collaborations with Primary Perception, Basement Space, and Paolo Mosca, to name a few. Strains of jazz, breaks, and ambient music inflect Slow Life’s singular sound with a charismatic balance of discerning taste and approachability.

Slow Life is about taking time and the unhurried rhythm of evolution. Music as a celebration of music. No rush, no pretense, no limitations — only deep work, positive expression, and playful experimentation.
