Tedium is modernity in the waiting phase. A longed-for moment of stasis.
A compilation of 23 tracks that shows us a rather wide spectrum including diverse manifestations of modern electronics. Boredom and neurosis that hold hands and become a chameleon-like whole.

Sometimes this combination draws its essence from obscure ambient demotivating, other times steals the body of enormous noisy and granular flows.

An emblematic sound vessel capable of containing everything from the sharpest electro-acoustic resonances to the most deformed deteriorations of hip hop imagery.

☗ @postworldmusic announced their latest, and biggest compilation yet. 9-track EP will be called "GLOBAL METANOIA" and will feature artists like SUTA, Beatrix Weapons, Die In Polar, EXTRaBLOOD and others.

"Hatching Of A Fragile Tear Droplet" is a track by a mysterious Hungarian artist called SUTA. @talfaja is a one-man band emerging from an inglorious spot of the Hungarian lowlands: Talfaja. His music is influenced by the innocent playfulness and repetitive melodic attributes of the early 2010s EDM scene, SUTA binds these features with obscure textures and diverse sound layers.

Tufi & Oliver Torr join forces for Tied With Wire, their debut on WARE.

Tied with Wire is a slowly cooked collaborative project. In this EP, Tufi revisits sketches from 2019, reshaping and morphing them with Oliver Torr into adventurous club music, full of twists and turns. Drawing from Tufi's multi-genre influences, the seeds of his Argentinian cultural background, and Oliver's precise sound design, evolving textures, and harsh atmosphere, the result is a cohesive four-track EP, where the weird and the familiar become one piece tied with wire.

Partly completed during a week-long studio session in Athens with an organic approach, the project reflects an ongoing learning process—a fertile ground for experimentation without any time pressure. In an age where reality is accelerated, prevailed by anxiety, individualism, competition, and the relentless race against time, this EP aims to decelerate time. A break and a reminder of the urge of collective spirit.
Adding to this collective sense, the duo invited long-time friend Bungalovv to conclude the project with the artwork.

For Kelvin T’s second full-length album ‘Aerate’, the Hong Kong-based musician utilises sound to mimic a hallucinogenic state of mind, a means to coax listeners into relinquishing control over their consciousness.

After his last album ‘Unlock Voice’, released in late 2018 through Hong Kong-based label Absurd TRAX, Kelvin T has been on the search for a new sonic palette. The result is ‘Aerate’, a collection of songs designed to be consumed like substances, substances that transport you into a state of ‘headbanging relaxation’ (in the words of the artist). Compared to the last album, which focuses on eliciting specific emotions through the association of sounds, ‘Aerate’ aims to transport listeners into an alternate state of mind and body, one that can possibly only be achieved through the use of substances.
