Subverting compositional and design tropes each step of the way, the Zonra project has maintained a striking consistency in its escape from the norms of conventional electronic music. Straddled somewhere between the dance-centric sound of contemporary bass music producers and the aural experimentation developed by IDM pioneers, Jackson Hale achieves a stable balance between groove and intrigue with each subsequent release, moving that needle closer to either end whenever the need arises. In time-tested fashion, his latest LP is a work of beauty from every angle, and as such, The Rust is incredibly excited to premiere Time Is A Tool as our 61st label release.

Previous Zonra records have featured an amalgam of shredded synthesis, mean breakdowns, and carefully threaded melodic elements. Unsurprisingly, Hale flipped the script entirely for Time Is A Tool; The LP’s opening moments involve smooth harmonies egressing into smooth cadence, and that relationship carries on throughout each track. Choice waves of tension and release, told through the intentional splaying of tones and textures into glitched-out symphonies, creates a permeable catharsis within each fold of the record, slowly churning the listener towards the album’s zenith. Opting for slow, caressing tempos and chord phrases reminiscent of serene lullabies, the traditional throaty bass lines and hyper-compressed downbeats are put out to pasture in favor of a record filled to the brim with particularly intentional and resoundingly magical moments of introspection and rest. For those keen on finding their next sonic journey amidst a crowd with a dancefloor focus, Time Is A Tool is assuredly the album you’ve been searching for.

Bursting onto the scene with an appetite for the psychedelic, Alien Speak is the stellar first release from Sylph, the musical alias of Emily Thaler. Based out of New York City, she has spent the last several years quietly expanding upon her production, composition, and engineering knowledge. The producer’s patience has paid off with a musical bounty worth it's weight in sub bass. Drawing from the font of psybient influence, each of the four tracks is a boisterous dance of pulsating frequencies. Glitchy harmonies and high-processed synthesis turn each moment into a downtempo tango between the visceral and the effervescent. With an obvious inclination towards arrangement and general musicality, the EP is a testament to an intrepid work ethic. For fans of pronounced sound design and glitched-out serenades, Alien Speak should feel right at home in your catalog.

It was really cool to incorporate my Mongolian heritage into the music through the use of the morin khuur (the Mongolian fiddle) played by my long time family friend Khongr, a very talented multi instrumentalist. Also, the traditional Mongolian long song singing style was sung by Suvda, transcending us further into the worldly composition. Suvda has performed at a few of the Kalmyk Youth Coalition events in the past, playing a crucial role in preserving the Mongolian culture in our community. The fusion of the traditional elements and modern production was something that Mike @thebusinessmusic and I utilized to capture the textures and atmosphere in this composition. The song is about the massive global shift in everything that is happening right now. It is a vulnerable space for all of us and it is important to cultivate love and compassion during these chaotic times. Stay soft and strong, everyone! We got this. ❤️

Lyrics:
I know we are feeling a  global shifting
Oh the change
Such a vulnerable space
That's ok
We have love
We'll make it work

Mumukshu's patented brand of subterranean bass music takes on new, brutish mutations in the Don't Speak EP. "Whatever it's Worth" and "Don't Speak" smash through the stereo field like a pair of tactical ICMBs, pushing precision percussion through its paces in tandem with vicious breakdowns and tactile sound design. Reinventing the EP's sonic impact under the same umbrella, both tracks also feature fleshed out halftime remixes, showcasing a potent production versatility, and setting up the release for any number of mixing combinations. As with all other Mumukshu releases, the Don't Speak EP should be your absolute next stop for high fidelity, rib-shaking system music.
