VALA 2

Montreal-based producer Priori shines with a powerful EP on the horizon of Midgar Records. ‘Pareidolia’ is inspired by the phenomenon of recognizing familiar patterns in random objects, which Priori artfully incorporates into his sound design on four versatile tracks. Imagine water droplets personified as living creatures, rising to an elevated plane of existence.

Deep, trippy and hypnotic. That pretty much sums up the new Nacreous-EP by Shoal on the Dutch imprint NOWHERE. The title refers to a certain glow or color that mother-of-pearl radiates. Shoal is the alter ego of Utrecht-resident Kenny Dean Kneefel. When you have a name that sounds like a famous stuntman, you are probably prepared to take more risks.

And indeed that's exactly what this producer from the lowlands does on Nacreous. Shoal's four track EP combines hallucinant grooves with delicate sound design. Like on Bygone Drums, where ominous distant sounds from a nearby factory creep between the shadows. The same can be said of the title track, a tribalistic tune with a delicate dark undertone.

Never Endings is more uplifting, with its dubbed out basslines and crispy hi-hats. Dubtechno that reminds us of both Monolake and Fluxion. Closing track Morning Float is indeed that, a trip in a blue tank filled with warm water, where you are comforted by beautiful strings and sounds of nature.

Shjva returns to the label less than a year after her brilliant Northern Lights EP saw the light of day.

A much revered producer across the scene,  Shjva consistently brings her deep and groovy style to a multitude of projects. Our ears first pricked up when we were recommended one of her self-released projects on Bandcamp. By the time her debut physical release dropped on Brutż in the winter of 2022, we were quick to join a line of labels hoping to push Shjva's talents.

Moving between Poland and Ukraine, Shjva's rise has occurred against the backdrop of the ongoing illegal invasion of her homeland. Nevertheless, she remains a shining example of the vibrant arts that can emerge from a free Ukraine. Her new track, "Blizzard," is no exception and we couldn't be more honoured to be trusted to share yet another example of Shjva's signature deep, pulsing sound 💙💛

A1. Shjva - Blizzard

Standing on the mountainside you can see the entire landscape. Shaded gullies in the valley, branches moving with the wind and in the distance lines converging with the vault, the clouds stacked high and pierced by beams of light. Intricate details can be found when you stop for a moment and be still. Mirrors face one another, an infinite world.

Heatwave, the new record from Melbourne duo OK EG, is an exploration of techno’s deepest layers. Tracks like “Radial” pulse with bass-heavy grooves, while “Heatwave” melts into lysergic bliss—each sound folding in on itself, revealing new dimensions. Mirrored by the mind bending artwork, Heatwave is a trip through refracted techno at it’s most intricate.
