Darkness hides stories we do not yet understand: echoes of the forgotten, shadows of the unexplored, traces left behind by something — or someone — beyond our perception. SPCLNCH-BLACK is a new series where sound becomes a gateway to the unknown, where minimalism, depth, and mystery unfold through music.

The first chapter — “Phantom Scripts” by Toki Fuko. Lost signals, vibrations beyond reality, and rhythms carrying messages from the void.

.

In 2045, researchers at MindTech discovered an anomaly in neural networks used for direct data transmission into the human brain. They called this phenomenon “Phantom Scripts” — mysterious glitches in the code that activate when a person falls asleep or closes their eyes. Deprived of visual stimuli, the brain becomes more receptive and starts responding to internal impulses from the neuro-interface, generating unexpected images and phrases, as if creating messages from the void.

Analysis revealed that these scripts are particularly active during deep sleep or meditation, when the mind is most vulnerable to external influence, as though an intelligent force is attempting to communicate through the subconscious. What lies behind these messages and why they appear remains unknown. Perhaps the answers are hidden in the darkness itself.

Premiere : David - What If I Could Fly? (ST005)

Rooted in those rare moments of tranquility throughout a parent’s life, Early Color is the auditory memoir of Griff through his time as a stay-at-home dad to a growing toddler making sense of the world. Conceptually, the album is laid out as a natural progression starting with the beautiful field recordings of ‘Zoom Deck’ and warm melody of ‘Hemmed’, both evoking visions of a hazy, forest morning, slowly waking up after night’s embrace. Shaking off the slumber, ‘Steel Wool’ provides an energetic start to the day as most children tend to do, to the dismay of some parents. Followed by the understated grooves of ‘Bubby & the Submersible’.

Approaching the second half of the album, ‘Trace Fossil’ and ‘Atoll’ kick things into gear with ear-worm-like melodies that build and build throughout into an emotional trip, while ‘FGH’ brings a more melancholic take. Capping off the string of four on the floor tracks is the growling ‘Why Yellow’, a more serious number that would fit well in many a dj set. Alighting from the burst of energy, we have the breakish beats of ‘Resnooze’, whose warm bass-lines and wide ranging synths envelop the listener. Finally arriving at the last track, the aptly named ‘Sitting Quietly Looking at Things’ is a musical combination of all that was prior. Emotive, textured, impactful, as the spoken word sampled lends such an air to the track.

Early Color’s artwork was also created by Griff, through a series of layered scans and is evocative of both his music, and the visual direction of Never Late. As a collection of personal moments, sounds, experiences will be key to future releases, as we strive to find the best expression of each artist that we work with.

Premiere: Will You - Santé (Orion Remix)  - Stólar

@willlyou — producer, DJ, and the driving force behind Oleeva Records—has been steadily carving out his own space in contemporary deep house and dub-tinged techno over the past few years. Through a string of solo releases and remixes on his own imprint, as well as a recent rework of Philipp Priebe’s Movements In An Empty Department Store on @Stolarrecords, he has been gradually unveiling his distinct sonic identity.
Now, Will You returns to Stólar with his latest EP. Rounding off the release, Italian duo @technosbnc  put their own spin on Santé, reshaping the original with their signature deep techno style—rich in grainy textures and driven by weighty, saturated drums.
