Exclusive to this edition is a made-to-order transparent 12” LP lathe, cut by Disc Archive in Berlin – super limited though, so get your pre-order in ASAP if you’d like a piece.

LMNL003 - Infant - radial blur 

Drawn from the reflections of Detroit producer Infant, ‘radial blur’ weaves super-processed atmospherics with smudged and dubbed touches. Drifting between the swamp and the late night haze, the EP conjures intimate domestic scenes and transcendent, otherworldly ecosystems.

@jonnnah
@coclear

co:clear is overjoyed to welcome Jonnnah to its fold, with a new long-form 12” edition. Featuring Pavel Milyakov (aka Buttechno) right off the bat, ‘Me, With You’ is an album that grips its listener tight with gleaming electronica, off-kilter trip-hop and swampy bass.

With past offerings to Soleil Rouge and Second End Records – a label which he heads – there's a thread that laces all of Jonnnah’s work. Although never sticking to a definable bracket, the Lyon-dweller effortlessly floats through various tempers, peddling impeccable electronics as equally suited to colossal sound systems, as they are to solitary early morning walks in headphones. It's ambient for the foreground that surprises with flurries of two-step and amen breaks – present-day sonics that doff their cap to what’s come before.

xochicuicatl Out June 4, 2025 via Appendix.files

New York City / Berlin — Appendix.files presents xochicuicatl, a 5-track collection of raw ambient excavations and subversive emotional fragments from secret getii. Recorded in NYC in the spring of 2023, the EP wanders through dream-smeared cityscapes and back again, channeling the hazy comedown of overstimulation into abstract, cathartic form. This is ambient not as background, but aftermath — think LSD flashbacks in a graffiti-soaked alley, suddenly grounded by the warmth of a friend’s couch and a slow-burning existential clarity. xochicuicatl operates somewhere between the debris of club culture and the softness of shared space. Each track teeters between euphoria and melancholia, thick with distortion, delay, and heart.

Across its 30-minute runtime, secret getii shapes textures that hum with emotional interference: rough-edged tones that distort as they soothe, melodic loops that spiral inward, voices half-buried beneath noise and reverb. The titles alone—half revolution, no revolution, i think i’m a drug dealer now, everyone is a supermodel—read like private transmissions, at once ironic, sincere, and a little unhinged.

Dedicated to Noel Flores, Lazaro Rodriguez, and Robert “Ready Freddy” Jennings, xochicuicatl is both personal document and shared code—intimate, unresolved, and entirely its own.

@yetsuby - 'We chant' is part of Gravity Pleasure's inaugural release, Water Bodies: a rippling compilation of FLINTA* artists and collaborators that invites listeners into an aqueous paraworld.

Across 21 tracks, Water Bodies spans a post-genre miasma of ethereal mermaid music, cathartic flows, and glistening sibilants ~ each one an exquisite message-in-a-bottle of deep diving emotionality. Pulling from a wide-range of musical perspectives ~ field recording, lovesick ballads, shimmering downtempo, post-party comedown, and percolating ambient ~ the compilation contains multitudes yet maintains deep sentimental coherence. Like a wave crashing in slow motion, it sonifies possible ways of being, insisting on the porous, the interdependent, and the deep and unruly. Water Bodies reminds us that home is a body made of water, to which we all belong.

~~*~~

Home is a body made of water.
Remember.

Close eyes.
Listen to drips; hear voices.
What do they tell you?
Make your body a grotto.
What does it hold?

Spider’s tapestry: flycatcher.
Roadmap: net of sinews.
Lost in night forest: seek breadcrumbs.
Remember?
Body is lighthouse: shine through cloud canopy.
Body is fish: wet is all you know.

Sink deep, fly high,
stretch your arpeggio from young to old.
Remember.

-Lou Croff Blake
