𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐄 | Ilayruni - Telepathy Tapes (Caldera Remix) [Obtuse Swamp]

"Dsic" marks the return of Aa Sudd on Optic Portal, now with his debut album. Recorded between 2020 and 2024, this album brings together four years of sound research. Glitch fragments, stretched recordings, and physical modeling collide in tracks that resist fixed form. Each piece is distinct, yet tied together by a single process: resampling, reshaping audio until it becomes something unrecognizable, alive.

[OP006] Aa Sudd - Dsic

Voal - Jinx 
ISO003

—

Voal — Vand and Shoal — reveal five more cuts on their home label ISOTOOP, taken from the pair’s time living together in Utrecht. Whereas the debut EP, ‘Saffron’, dropped the listener into psychedelic aesthetics and atypical rhythmic structures, the sequel ‘Jinx’ has a more crystal-cut vision of club music, made for no less exploratory dancefloors.

Possessing a natural progression almost as fluid as a contiguous live set, with imagination each track can form the basis of the next through the fingerprints of a barely-perceptible ghost leaving a piecemeal narrative impression, an exposure in negative that develops over repeated exposure to the five versatile tracks.

Relative to Saffron’s sidestepping repertoire, this latest EP goes for the jugular with insistent club dynamics from the get-go. Summoning steps on air, a self-contained package of breezy dancefloor initiation and escalation, all-in-one, and from the foothold of this thermal vortex Crosswind ups the drama with storm-hued dynamics and blustery club debris.

The knife of aesthetics is freshly sharpened for the flip: Jinx takes the record out of earthbound atmospheres and deep into sci-fi territory. A jigsawwing bassline seems to drill ever-deeper into an expanding landscape, as it does so uncovering small sonic treasures locked in the bedrock. A mirror to this scene, The Chain digresses with bubbling verve and psychedelic strut, a combo-finishing left hook that simultaneously holds playfulness alongside dour dramatics, a duality shared by vinyl-exclusive closing track Ouah, which blows out the lights with a smirk, and premium hallucinatory dub psychosis.

HL Premiere: RXEX - Obsidian Ritual [Aurora]

Berlin-based artist YYARD makes his debut EP 'parasympathetic' on From a Los Place, a release which is the perfect definition of the artist's eclecticism, blending groove and jazz influences with very meticulous rhythms, rich and organic percussions perfectly suited for the dance floor. 

With roots in Cologne and Berlin, YYARD represents a musical project of pianist, keyboarder and producer Yannis Anft. Drawing inspiration from his many years of experience as a jazz pianist, dancing through nights in clubs and his enthusiasm for other genres of music and art forms. 

Born in 1993, Anft started playing the piano at the age of 11. From 2013 to 2019, he studied jazz piano at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz in Cologne, with teachers such as Hubert Nuss and Jürgen Friedrich. Since then he has been active as a pianist, keyboardist and producer. In addition to engagements in numerous side projects based in various genres, he names Hip Hop/Neo Soul act SALOMEA and his own project Delusional Mind as his main projects.

In Silentio Silvae by Aerae b2b Reeko - mental misorder records @ GIMIC - 8 November 2025

This album is the more experimental, mentally unstable extension of the garage inspired style I've been producing in. Jumping off of "Afraid of the Sun", but much more dingy. Inspired by living in this current time, where no one believes you but still experiences it with you.
