Yolek – Contrôle de Câbles / ESPRESSO1O

Soft Raw is a new label from Danielle – a natural extension of the Bristol-based DJ’s expansive tastes within contemporary club music. Over the past few years the NTS resident has become a leading light in the multifaceted world of modernist techno abstractions, ably balancing soundsystem pressure and propulsive rhythmic intensity with experimental textures and explorative energy variations. Soft Raw seeks to continue that mission with releases which will progress stylistically from one approach to another, taking in exciting, emergent producers unique in their approach but bound together by the idiosyncratic curation of Danielle – a faithful reflection of her proven skill as a selector.

The label launches with a six-track drop from Slacker. Sam Black has been winding up a potent strain of needlepoint techno which leans towards jungle and half-time D&B in its tempo and structure. Across a selection of various releases, Black’s sound has evolved into an accomplished and detailed style which draws on moody atmospheres and advanced engineering in the grand tradition of UK soundsystem music. Across this EP the Slacker sound matches up to the spirit of Soft Raw, balancing fierce kinetic energy with delicacy and finesse and leaving some space for outright ambience. At times he locks into a half-step warm-up mode, while elsewhere the amens creep in for a more pronounced jungle rinse-out.

It’s a strong opening statement for this new label, but crucially this doesn’t spell out the future in absolute terms. True to Danielle’s broad outlook, subsequent releases are set to take in everything from straight up 4/4 and acid to footwork and electro, with a narrative binding each release together according to her internal logic and the tension between soft and raw qualities explored across consistently cutting-edge tracks.

‘Metal Form Suite’ is a culmination of the sounds that inspire the label in its endeavour to create scaled events with underground and DIY tendencies. Through this compilation and curation, General Merchant is showcasing the range of sounds that you may expect to hear at one of their warehouse parties.

General Merchant acknowledges that it operates on stolen land, belonging to the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora Nation, and we pay our respects to Aboriginal elders past, present and emerging.

𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖒𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖊#280 📢 oxymosoon - Keep Silnet [EYEAR Records]

@lemonschaden @danslazone @user-458347342

2684, in a universe devastated by chaos, where extractivism and elites crush human rights and ravage living ecosystems.

In a world where inert technologies enslave humans and plunge the powerful into bloody wars for power.

But in the shadows a glimmer of hope, an intangible and ancient force, slowly creeps in, like a breath in the ruins, a breath of hope, a subtle and indomitable energy that rises up and permeates what remains of life and freedom.

This compilation is the fruit of a 3-day artistic residency organized by Electronic Consortium and Dans La Zone in Rennes.

“Organics Matter” perfectly embodies the energy that emerged during these 3 days, and plunges listeners into a journey to the edge of an SF world tinged with DnB rhythms, breaks, trancy grooves, ghetto ambience and other futuristic styles.

What REALLY Happens in the Dark Ritual of the Fallen

▼ PRESS NOTE ▼▼▼ 

Alkaline is sound forged in FM — metallic surfaces, syncopated pulses, and cinematic structures. An alternative path that doesn’t reject acid, but moves into a realm less warm, more mineral, more futuristic. 

With CT012, Cosmic Tribe takes the Alkaline Sound into the uncharted: music as a tool for deep-space and hidden-dimension exploration. Each track is a fragment of an expedition beyond known frontiers — charting invisible territories, intercepting signals from other worlds, and navigating encounters that alter the course of the mission. 

From EC13 and Calagad 13 comes a radical, visionary approach: not just tracks to hear, but cinematic sonic devices designed to remodel the listener’s inner architecture, ignite their imagination, and expand the very map of perception.  

A work of meticulous sound and mastering, paired with exceptional artwork, presented in a strictly limited edition of 150 copies on crystal-clear transparent vinyl.
