OS03 Refractor VA - Inside The Forest

For our final release of the year we are thrilled to share this conceptual EP ‘An-Xileel’ from two aliases’ of Naarm based artist Daniel Jakobsson; Eastern Distributor and Jörmungandr.

The world building for this release came through a necessity for escapism for Jakobsson. Across this release, he takes you on a vivid journey through Black Marsh, a territory that sprawls through tranquil yet wild swamplands into densely breathtaking rainforests. 

Within this captivating landscape resides the Argonians, reptilian humanoid creatures who call Black Marsh home. The EP delves into the world of the An-Xileel, a mysterious anti-imperialist political faction among the Argonians. With sharp, obsidian eyes gleaming with ancient intelligence, they are dedicated to purging the former colonial influence and restoring the homeland to its pre-foreign rule state.

Opening the release, 'Sap Speaker' by Eastern Distributor sets the tone with a frenzied and energetic vibe, establishing the EP's atmosphere. Throughout the track, the crisp percussion maintains a sharp presence amidst the focused and intentionally immersive synthesis. The inspiration for this track stemmed from the swamp environments.

Moving on to Dam Dweller, the composition features cold, dark percussion alongside psychedelic sweeps that plunge the listener into a profound low-end groove. This groove undergoes a gradual evolution into a 4/4 eruption, accompanied by the delicate touch of gentle pads and strings. The inspiration behind this track draws from the water and cave systems of Black Marsh.

Dam Dweller gracefully concludes, paving the way for Sand Shaper, a mellow yet robust track. With a focus on organic instruments, a gliding bass, and bowed strings, Sand Shaper captivates with hypnotising atmosphere and polyrhythmic percussion. The inspiration for this piece lies in the territory's sandy shores.

Root Mender brings the tempo back up, radiating positivity, vitality, and life. Thick sub-bass tones resonate through the body, and purposeful drum programming slice through the ever engulfing ethereal pads. An amphibious croak pulses beneath heavy kicks, accompanied by soothing vocals. Strings and acid basslines elevate the track, marking it as the EP's highlight. The inspiration for Root Mender is drawn from the tree homes of the Argonians.

Concluding the EP, Tree Minder adopts an introspective tone. Minimalist percussion and sharp automation contrast with angelic pads and echoing sounds. Flutes, bells, and bows collectively paint the spirit of an alien world, mirroring the hope brought by the An Xileel to the Argonian people.

Tracklist:
01. Eastern Distributor - Sap Speaker
02. Eastern Distributor - Dam Dweller
03. Eastern Distributor - Sand Shaper
04. Jörmungandr - Root Mender
05. Jörmungandr - Tree Minder

An Xileel

PS017 - Eastern Distributor / Jörmungandr - An Xileel

Venture deep into the mystical realm of "The Wailing Woods," where the ancient trees whisper secrets and the ethereal melodies of trance weave a tapestry of enchantment. In this otherworldly compilation, embark on a musical odyssey through the shadows of a forest steeped in magic and mystery.

🍄 As you traverse the winding paths, beware the elusive Faeirelings, mischievous sprites that dance among the luminescent mushrooms, leaving trails of bewilderment in their wake. The air is thick with the pulsating beats of this music, resonating with the heartbeat of the enchanted woods. Allow the athmosphere to guide you, but tread cautiously, for the siren call of the woods our creatures can lead even the most steadfast wanderer astray.

🌿 Amidst the towering trees, ancient guardians known as Sylvan Spirits emerge from the emerald foliage. These majestic beings move in harmony with the pulsating rhythms, their luminous eyes reflecting the kaleidoscopic hues of the psychedelic vibrations. The very air seems to shimmer with energy as you become entangled in the symbiosis of nature and sound.

🔍 Yet, beware the shadows that stir in the depths of the "Wailing Woods." Unseen creatures, drawn to the hypnotic cadence, lurk just beyond the moonlit glades. Will-o'-wisps flicker like spectral lanterns, tempting the adventurous souls to stray into the heart of the unknown.

🎶 "The Wailing Woods" beckons those who seek an immersive auditory experience, where the mystical and the musical coalesce. Unearth the tracks that resonate with the ancient energy of the forest, but remember, in this enchanting realm, the line between reality and fantasy blurs, and one must navigate the bewitching symphony with caution. Let the journey begin, but heed the age-old warning – in the heart of "The Wailing Woods," music is both the key and the riddle. 🔮🌲

Premiere: Human Space Machine - SP4C3 [DLEP08]

Trois-Quarts Taxi System - Turpitude

Today’s premiere comes in the form of Parisian artist, Solma and their half time thriller, Apoapsis. Tolling like bells in the distance, the wobbling melodies are stretched and elongated to their max as frenetic hi hats and snares dance around, creating that ebb and flow so well known. The track brings an air of seriousness, one for those head down moments of dancing bliss, surrounded by smoke and like-minded ravers.

Apoapsis is joined by three other tracks to round out the Ether Drift EP and will be out into the world, the 22nd of February on the wonderful Crescent London imprint.

PREMIERE: Solma - Apoapsis [Crescent London]

Artist: Refractor VA	
Title: Inside The Forest
Label: Organic Signs
Cat No: OS03
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 

A1. Jan Swam - Events That Led To My Dissapearance
A2. Pyramid Of Knowledge - One Day
B1. Digitalis - Digitekno (1997 Unreleased)
B2. Tadan – Moon Tek


In the third release of Organic Signs, we embark on a direct journey to the musical heart of Refractor: the annual gathering held in a forest on the outskirts of Madrid to celebrate dancing under the sun and stars for 24 uninterrupted hours.

With four tracks that encapsulate the sound of different mental states you may experience firsthand on this expedition, we begin with label manager Jan Swam's track. He introduces us to ancestral sounds featuring a flute played by himself, gradually accompanied by a penetrating bassline and synth, along with various elements spread across the stereo field. All of this leads to an unexpected finale. Next, we delve into the track by French artist based in Seoul, Pyramid Of Knowledge aka K.O.P. 32, who has crafted a perfect progression of sounds to immerse us in a trance towards the depths of the subconscious. The intensity builds up gradually until reaching its peak in the final moments.

On the other side, we welcome back our beloved Digitalis, responsible for the label's first release. This time, he presents a lost gem from '97 never before released, transporting us directly to the UK rave scene. Get ready to feel the unleashed pulse of the English artist who left an indelible mark on psychedelic music. Finally, we venture into the last chapter where Tadan pilots an interdimensional ship towards the hidden face of a moon that orbits a planet beyond the solar system. Close your eyes to appreciate the depth of the atmospheres and textures, intertwined with a constant rhythmic line that will guide us to the final moments of the record.

support & buy: https://stagnorecords.bandcamp.com/album/natron

The Natron mirror of water populates the imagination with its enigmatic deep red color and its placid and dark surface, guardian of secrets, seemingly quiet.
From its shores, majestic mountains can be glimpsed towering against the sky.
Its supernatural appearance that not even the most solid scientific reasoning can drive away.
A peculiar color gradation resulted from the accumulation of sodium, very high temperatures and alkaline springs, which trigger a calcification process that no body or species can escape.
Once permeated, it remains there forever and becomes part of it: liquid and solid, fleeting and permanent, ethereal and evanescent.

"Natron VA001" is the Stagno Records’ genesis: an immersive voyage through this crimson expanse. It is a powerful, commanding force, like a tempestuous storm, yet also delicate and otherworldly.
Six incandescent tracks from a meticulous selection of talented producers around.
Maquis Son Sistèm, K.O.P. 32, Marmo, Atoloi, Plants Army Revolver, and CP1: in this impalpable journey they push the boundaries of uptempo and half-beat, with their pulsating basses echoing the raw energy of the crimson landscape. Fearless and immersive, these soundscapes are infused with techno overtones, transporting us into a world of sci-fi and aprioristic scenarios.

OW7 Floid - Skudd

Every moment of Skudd offers a place to explore. For his second release on Omen Wapta, Delft-based sound artist, Floid, fuses soundscapes and rhythms in seven tracks that swap peaks and troughs for narrative arcs. Cinematic, immersive, dense and danceable, the new EP, delivers sonic pieces that hypnotically swell and engage brain and body dance.

Drop into a snake pit with cavernous moments and unexpected ornaments that rattle and slice. Affected pan flutes, meshed with shamanic vocals and organic percussion conjure a nocturnal fever dream in the jungle. Tempo tricks make high bpms feel stretched. With Skudd, the only thing guiding you through the soundscapes is a certain groove in the constant kicks, rhythms and basslines. Everywhere else it takes your mind is up to you.
