Release Info :

Anna Karina - METAPHORISCH EP

Anna Karina, Ukrainian music producer based in Berlin,
has released her first EP!

This EP showcases synthesizers and VCV Rack. The sound explores the sensations of wind and the vast, heavy landscape of the mind.
Rather than imitating the physical world, it channels perception — translating emotional states into abstract sonic forms.
Noise and glitch elements represent the raw, untamed aspects of the ocean, not as it sounds, but as it feels.

Through generative techniques, where algorithms influence structure and detail, the composition mimics the unpredictable nature of waves, thoughts, and shifting inner currents. The result is not a direct simulation, but an evolving soundscape that captures the movement and instability of an internal ocean.

This ocean is metaphorical — an ocean of emotion, memory, and perception. It has little in common with literal wave sounds but resonates as a deep, sensory reflection of a mental state.

The goal is not realism, but transformation: to turn the intangible into an auditory environment. This process creates a unique listening space where meaning is felt, not explained.
The result is a deeply personal landscape, shaped by resonance, dissonance, and silence, where the listener is free to drift, dissolve, or reassemble within the sound.

I want you to remember abstract soundscapes that evoke memory, mind, emotion, and altered states.

IN2STELLAR from Australia have mixed and compiled the latest Baka Gaijin Podcast 💥

"We're used to spending every weekend together so it's been tough being in lockdown, and having so much time apart. We recorded this when the lockdowns were lifted slightly and we could finally catch up for a bunch of wines and a mix. We miss the clubs, but home will do for now. This is our soundtrack to a 2am living room hang out.“

Enjoy!

For the newest Animix instalment, i’m so happy to share this emotional journey by @nenaghnenagh. Beautifully put together, the mix is a sublime exploration of moody 90s era idm & dreamy electro tunes. 

Before Covid hit, she was running vortex, one of my favourite Melbourne parties, alongside @megmldrm

The euphoric, ravey vibe of this mix really hit home and made me miss dancing with friends. Hopefully we’ll all be dancing together soon 

Thanks again <3 @nenaghnenagh

There's no question in the remarkable quality of the musical outputs that Melbourne has to offer. Every now and then however, something truly special comes across your musical desk. For me, one of the most exciting projects to come of 2020 is Acopia.

Acopia brings together three local Melbourne musicians @purient, @liluzu and @morganwright, commendable all in their individual endeavours, but together converge to showcase a contemporary incarnation of stripped back, emotional synth pop reminiscent of the 80s. Their debut EP 'For You I Try' is everything I love packaged in two neat little arrangements, warm yet melancholy and worthy of a tear or two. Acopia's less is more approach to music will no doubt see them flourish into their bright future. I'm counting down the days until we can see Acopia take the stage live, but for now Lachie, Kate, and Morgan joined me for a chat and one hour guest mix, broadcast live on PBS Melbourne for Passing Notes episode 81.

A Psychic Yes takes over the controls for 2 hours of wobbly club cuts. Heavy percussion and left-filed sounds throughout, with a few unreleased tracks from himself and friends inside.

For the next meltdown we present local legend, Underground City Loop.
A multi-disciplined musician who holds a deep understanding of a broad spectrum of musical facets, Underground City Loop comes through with a deep bass driven, chuggy, chargey and powerful mix. One half of Melbourne collective Hybrid Man (@hybridmn) - he is no stranger to the scene. 

Underground City Loops recent release 'Circadian Rhythms’ can be found here: https://undergroundcityloop.bandcamp.com/album/circadian-rhythms and is definitely one you need in your locker.
