On this month's Therapy Dog on @refugeworldwide, I was so happy to finally be able to invite London-based maya vika (@maya-garside), co-manager of the label TT and Keep Hush affiliate. Known for their very broad selections, maya vika's sets skillfully mix dembow, downtempo, reggaeton, experimental music, bass and fun edits. Listen back to a cute 2-hour b2b with all kinds of tempos and genres :)

I.T.Z - Velvet Gloom - SIRDUB011

Sir Dub Muzik welcomes back I.T.Z for his second release on the label: the Velvet Gloom EP. Across two cuts, he dives deeper into his darker side, blending heavy pressure with eerie atmospheres to shape a sound that’s unmistakably his own.

“Interzone” sets the tone with ghostly textures, sharp percussion, and a driving low-end that pulls the listener straight into its shadowy world. It’s cold, hypnotic, and built for the system.

Flipping over, “Ilmu Hitam” (Malay for black magic) brings a rawer energy. Menacing sound design and rolling basslines twist around ritual-like percussion, summoning an intensity that feels both ancient and futuristic.

With Velvet Gloom, I.T.Z sharpens his vision—two tracks that balance weight with atmosphere, and mark another step forward.

This album unfolds as a sonic journey that blends electronic landscapes with experimental and atmospheric nuances, offering an immersive experience that moves between contemplation and rhythmic energy. Each track functions as an independent chapter, yet together they build a coherent narrative that reflects an emotional passage: from dawn to night, from stillness to expansion, from the intimate to the expansive.

The opening piece, **“Solitary Sequence,”** opens the door to an introspective world. Its minimalist and repetitive structure conveys the sensation of a pattern unfolding slowly, like a thought repeating in the mind until it becomes a landscape. It is a track that invites solitary reflection, where time seems to stretch and the sonic texture becomes almost tangible.

In contrast, **“Twilight Mosaic”** proposes a tapestry of richer and more colorful sounds, evoking the hues of twilight. The melodic layers overlap like pieces of a mosaic that shimmer differently depending on perspective. There is a play of light and shadow that adds dynamism while maintaining a meditative air.

With **“Winding Harmony,”** the album flows toward a more organic exploration. Its progressions recall winding paths that are never linear, generating a sense of continuous, shifting movement. The harmony twists and unfolds in new directions, reinforcing the idea of a journey in constant evolution.

**“Resonant Dawn”** offers a luminous respite, as if the listener awakens to a newly lit horizon. The resonance of the title is reflected in the spaciousness of the sound, which seems to vibrate in an open, hopeful space. It is a piece that balances delicacy with expansion, transmitting renewal and clarity.

Finally, **“Rising Syncopation”** introduces a stronger and more rhythmic pulse, closing the album with energy and vitality. The syncopation creates a constant tension that pushes forward, like a heart beating powerfully after an emotional journey. This piece elevates the ending, offering a vibrant and dynamic conclusion.

Taken as a whole, the album is an exploration of moods and soundscapes that shift between the intimate and the expansive. It flows seamlessly between meditative calm and rhythmic drive, constructing a narrative arc that reflects both introspection and vital impulse. Its richness lies in the ability of each track to stand on its own while simultaneously contributing to a greater story. In essence, it is a work that invites both attentive listening and full sensory immersion.
