Pain Management welcomes London cult favourite DJ ojo, who arrives on the label with a hazy three tracker of trademark nether zone system music. On his most dubbed out full length to date, ojo span’s the full emotive spectrum of dub sonics with a range of both the eerie and more tender expansions of low end atmospherics, the resulting 12” equally suited for the club and the journey home alike.

‘Tongue Tied’ opens the record, a lysergic offering from the darker edges of dub music. A slippery fugue-state hit of narco-ambience built around a crooning, intelligible vocal refrain and chest shot sub weight. A real nightfall system pusher built to simmer in the early hours. It kicks off the EP on an amorphous, hypnotic note that sustains throughout.‘Oil Dub’ sinks deeper into the fog, melodic kinesis and expansive delays upholding an underworld of feedbacked percussion and tongue in cheek sub motion; a seven minute sound bath of ambiguous dub ASMR.

The B-side balances out the darker strains found on its counterpart with an overtly tender digidub closer. Clocking in at almost ten minutes long ‘Cloud Suck’ is a nebulous bliss of perpetually ascending late-summer warmth. The kind of liminal dream-state embrace that you wish would never end. True to the name, it evokes tender, dusk and dawn hued moments, a quiet ride-home flash of introspection on the way to or from some pursuit of meaning. Pain Management essential right here.

Limited run of 200 hand-stamped 12” records available now.

Label co-founder and unstoppable creative force Lauren Chalmers, aka Silent Era, presents Modern Artefacts, her debut EP for Of Paradise. Meticulously crafted, deconstructed, reimagined, and rebuilt in the purest of forms, Modern Artefacts is a powerful, genuine, and unmissable debut that has been distinctively approached and deftly assembled.

Comprising four sub-heavy, psychedelically-tinged, and hyper-fused bass and techno compositions, each one perfectly nuanced, Modern Artefacts emerges from the pitch-black like a warped, richly textured collage, heralding in a new dawn all of its own. If there’s ever been a time to say an artist is one to watch, it's now.

PREMIERE: Silent Era - Sudden Fall

SORN is excited to present the debut 12" EP from d. towärds, Rephlex EP, a bold and captivating exploration of sound. Spanning tracks crafted between 2021 and 2024, the EP offers a unique blend of minimalist, dub-inflected textures, creating unpredictable sonic landscapes that constantly evolve.
The tracks are stripped down, often reduced to mere echoes and ghostly pulses, yet there's a tactile weight to the production that pulls the listener in. This is dub in its most abstract form: a deconstruction that shifts the focus from rhythm to texture, from structure to atmosphere. The result is a work that feels both timeless and dislocated.
With nods to the experimental rigor of Pan Sonic and the icy precision of Raster-Noton, Rephlex EP is less an homage and more an interrogation.

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-yoshida-debno

From the low-lit basements of London to the overcast grooves of the Baltic, Berlin via London imprint Laib Und Seele deliver their second collective outing 'Multigrain Compilation II'...Our pick, Yoshida’s 'Debno', opens the compilation with a haunting kind of grace. Hovering somewhere between UK braindance and ambient breaks, it unfolds like a thick mist rolling over a rusted industrial panorama. Pads hum like distant machines stirring to life, while the drum programming shifts delicately between off-kilter and hypnotic, steadily building toward a finely woven crescendo. It’s a track that doesn’t rush to get anywhere, it pulses with quiet intent, leaving space for breath and everything in between.

In the artist's words : 

For those two hours i rly wanted to embrace the picture a glaoting fairies-goblins complete cycle party, imagining the rite would happen in a flowery clearing deep in the middle of a giant firs forest, where those feisty creatures would then ingest some fine nuts and ravishing mushroom and start the ball by giggling swinging hovering around, until the hit arrives and the dance become more frenetic as they progressively mutate into forest parts into soil and roots and bushes, slowly loosing their contour to be part of the whole. The climax would be complete fusion, returning to being particules of the mole, flirting with univers laws, atomic gangbang. Then gently the rite wraps up as they return to their bodies, ultimate shapeshifters, fulfilled from the feeling of shortly having been together one. Return the energy to the ground and the life takes delightfully back its course
Bass hippie enough lol?

Syncopation w/ Gamma Intel & Pims - 25th June 2025

Of Paradise sublabel, Badlands, emerges from an extended slumber with a new offering from label co-founder Silent Era: Emerald Pool, a four-track EP of ambient and experimental soundscapes crafted entirely from field recordings gathered in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks during the autumn of 2024.

Stripped back and delicately nuanced, Silent Era’s sonic journey through California’s forests and mountains is both blissful and haunting – a meditative unfolding of nature’s rhythm that invites the listener to reflect on the planet and their connection to it.

Accompanied by a limited-edition photo zine with incense, Emerald Pool delivers a deeply immersive experience and signals the beginning of a new chapter of sonic experimentation from the artist.
