✤ Industrial No Wave Tokyo duo IN THE SUN mixing saxophone, electronics and Taiko drums, present their first release on @CHINABOT ✤

✷ "Dawn" was inspired by the musical traditions and wild mountain landscapes of composer TIDEPOOL’s childhood in rural Japan. Layers of ethereal synthesizers and wailing saxophones by Kim Pueru evoke the mist and the granite of mountains are beaten with rhythms that hit like shattering rocks.

✷ TIDEPOOL describes the record as an “epic poem.” This is evident on Twilight, where urgent synths and nimble percussion make you wonder what Akira would have looked like set in on a mountain range instead of in Tokyo.

✷ "Dawn" remains extremely contemporary, with swirling rhythms of singeli, juke, footwork, gabber, and minimal to create an evil cacophony. The album also nods to the GORGE movement, which is experiencing a resurgence in Japan.

[Swine Premiere] IN THE SUN - Insecurity (Chinabot)

"Fatale Furylax is a multidisciplinary artist currently based in Paris. A graphic designer, DJ, co-coordinator of Station Station Radio, and member of the collective and label De la…je l’espère, she crafts a sound rooted in contrast and alchemy. Her music is an eclectic tapestry—ambient drifting into bass, where dubstep pulses, breakbeats, drum & bass, and experimental echoes bloom into dark, organic landscapes.

In her music curation, she pays particular attention to highlighting minority artists, notably through her bimonthly show More FLINTA* in USB keys on Station Station Radio, and through her compilation Delphæ, released on the label of her collective.

A resident of Radio Sofa, she invites listeners on A Good Trip in My Mind—a sonic journey through the quiet, the strange, and the beautifully unclubbed corners of music."

Delsin invites you to submerge into the prismatic electronica of Xenia Reaper. Across nine tracks of exquisitely rendered sonics, the shadowy producer engages in the time-honoured craft of introspective sound manipulation, folding gaseous pads into dissected breaks and running heavyweight machine pulses through achingly beautiful synthesis.

Xenia's work makes a striking impression, and they've left a breadcrumb trail of self-released transmissions on their own Xenoplex platform alongside a more forthright appearance in 2024 on the always-essential INDEX:Records. The sound is sharply realised, modernist music that revels in the finegrain detail afforded by technology, but never at the expense of warmth and charm. It's nuanced electronica for deep listening, but it also hits on an instinctive, physical level.

For Nept Polarisation, an exacting selection process took place to comb through the prolific swathes of material coming out of the Xenoplex studio. It was primarily written in their Eurorack system and Max For Live between 2020 and 2025. You can hear the shifting, expressive flair of modular manipulation and the advanced acrobatics of Max sound design throughout, with needlepoint rhythmic interference puncturing through blissful cloud blooms of melodic ambience.

Bending and folding through non-linear structures according to their internal logic, Xenia Reaper offers up a three-dimensional sound world with more than enough presence to hint suggestively at the soundsystem.

Following releases from Lurka and Keplrr, GRACE has something more introspective in store. The label's fourth outing is a tasty collaboration between Bristol's @georg-i and Lisbon-based lyricist @olderbrotherolderbrother. Their 'Warm Skin' EP is a journey through slick, hi-tek bass and trip-hop injected with gritty vocal poetry.

Both artists are hitting their stride. Since 2021, georg-i has gone from strength to strength, his razor-sharp slappers appearing on YCO, FELT, and more recently, as the inaugural release on CCL's Subglow. Meanwhile, Older Brother's otherworldly vocals have featured on Timedance, Metrist's SOSOSO, and now a full release with the iconic imprint Numbers. 

On this EP, a soundworld emerges that recalls the dark intimacy of Massive Attack's Mezzanine and the beat science of Samurai Music. These two artists' combined talent makes for beautiful, moody listening - a third space between wonder and cynicism.

Tackle - Machine EP Sampler

NOTTE INFINITA 30.9.25

marino2 lands on useless seconds with AS_FWD, bringing big sound-system material. With the weighty sound palettes of dubstep and dub steppers, the low-key french producer takes a step forward by blending in various references of hazy trap music with heavily-processed chants and tickling ASMR-style whispers.

‘homie’ is a proper heater : massive low-end, suspenseful synths, sharp drums, a classic but tasteful crowd-catcher vocal and, of course, gunshot samples.

‘prev-u’, in collaboration with Soa420, sees both producers exploring grimy influences, digested into a strong dubstep maestria sparkled with french rap easter-eggs.

‘cyrque’ is an intense roller, aimed at playlists called ‘take no prisoners’ or ‘smoke machine launcher’.

‘fergo’ takes a gloomier path, the head-banging halftime rhythm carries an intriguing whisper into classic wobble action but still in a haunted mood.

marino2 - AS_FWD (previews)

Hey everyone, Shine Grooves here.
It’s time to share a few highlights from all the releases I put out under my alias Quadrat back in the early 2010s. I picked one track from each release and compiled them into a new EP.
Fun fact: every Quadrat record was transferred straight to vinyl, completely unmastered — in other words, the distributor used my original files without any additional processing. I actually found this out many years later. Most likely, it was done just to save costs.
The new release we’ve put together with FAM has been properly remastered (or rather, mastered) — and it sounds great.
