This new release is not a generated illusion by your subconscious. It's the result of a mechanical modification of reality. A reality altered by Circular Square who signed a remarkable aesthetics sound. Kinetic bass, analog harmony and frenetic rhythm tinged with dub, the Paris-based producer offers us his vision of electronic music that shapes our digital symbiosis.

Available in cassette tapes (classic crystal case) and on ultra limited edition (RGB slime case).

The debut solo release from the label head is a killer mix of acid lines, breaks, and electro, with a splash of experimental twists and a dash of Middle Eastern vibes. It’s got that raw, underground energy—classic dancefloor sounds flipped with unexpected textures and offbeat elements. The whole thing feels eclectic but keeps it tight, delivering a vibe that’s both groovy and unpredictable.

Kazakh-born, Prague-based producer Paromanormal is our next guest on our GYROS release series. With a music style shaped in his adopted country and inspired by the use of FM synthesizers, Paromanormal is part of the Amphibian Records crew, one of the best labels/collectives in Czech Republic.

Behind the monitors, he dives into his own imaginary worlds, guiding the listener on a journey through unexplored and sometimes impossible places. For this one, he offers us an exhilarating blend of the energy elevation of trance, techno’s punch, and subtle touches of breakbeat with a 5-track project (+1 bonus) that also includes a remix by atch22. This results in a high-BPM release full of energy, with an ultra-effective minimalist and progressive side.

From Sweden with Italo to Dresden with love. Stockholm's DJ City drops his first release on Dresden's Uncanny Valley with the COSMICOMICS EP, a 100% fun record for all the senses, deeply inspired by Italo Calvino's iconic short story collection.

COSMICOMICS borrows its name from a collection of short stories written by Italian author Italo Calvino, first published in Italian in 1965. The stories have inspired DJ City to a record that aesthetically draws from 80s Italo Disco and 70s science fiction films. In the book, each story is based on a scientific fact about the world and the cosmos whilst using fiction to ask how we understand it. Where Calvino's stories are comical and absurd, DJ City surrenders to the sublime and romantic and moves further into the metaphysical world that Calvino created to come up with three energetic and melodic tracks bursting heavily with fantasy and drama. Deeply rooted in dance music’s history, they shine with Hi-NRG-vibes, strict dancefloor commitment and little easter eggs like that Drexciya-reference in COSMICOMICS.

The cover of the record is a painting from 2020 by Swedish artist Jens Fänge called THE INN. We see a man in front of the entrance to a Mediterranean-style building and a woman in a window on the upper floor. The picture seems to have been broken up into several dimensions, and abstract details make it difficult for the viewer to know exactly what and when the scene is taking place. When shown in Shanghai, the painting was censored by government agents and had to be taken down. A testament to the power of the image. Perhaps it shows our main character, perhaps it shows us the author or the artist. Depending on who listens, who reads and who looks, a multitude of universes open.

Meet Dan ChiCharron, a new family member of Skalbiankė. This time, we lean towards more intensity with his new EP Mordicus. Dimmed vibes, strong basslines and sharp grooves confidently lead throughout the whole release. Persistency is the key and Dan knows that. The artwork features a classic car resting in a pool, a visual metaphor for Dan’s journey - where the familiar meets the surreal.

Release the handbrake and dive into weird landscapes. Dan will show you the way.

Following the introspective depths of Codonopsis and the provocative excursions of Rumex, we are proud to introduce Orbea - our third Various Artist release. This 15-track compilation continues our exploration of genre-melting sound. Once again, we’ve gathered a selection of artists from across the globe, weaving together their distinct styles into a sonic tapestry that defies easy categorisation.

Musically, Orbea is genre-fluid: from atmospheric ambient, classical, and textured noise to fractured breaks, raw electro and wave. This release carries a pulse between inertia and momentum, from the stillness of introspection to the kinetic energy that propels us outward. It’s an ode to contrast, a meditation on tension and release, and above all, a celebration of that which cannot be explained.

The creation of Orbea was as much about collaboration as it was about the music itself. Over the past year, we’ve been blessed to work with a multitude of artists and friends, each bringing their own unique perspectives and talents. Together, we’ve forged a collection that is deeply personal yet universal, reflecting the struggles and triumphs of another relentless year. To everyone involved—the producers, sound designers, mastering engineers, visual artists, and the community around us—we extend our gratitude in a testament to growth, resilience, and connection.

True to our vision, Orbea showcases sound from under the radar, giving space to the unconventional and experimental - showcasing the sonic landscapes less traveled. You can stream Orbea on Soundcloud, get your digital download on Bandcamp, and share the experience with those who appreciate music that challenges and inspires. Thank you for your support, we hope you dive into this compilation with the same curiosity and openness with which it was created.
