With his latest release "Precious Skin", Amsterdam based Hitam initiates the launch of "Rhiza Semar”- a label, focused on combining dynamic dance floor oriented productions with a left field approach to electronic music. Driven by a strong attraction to artistic innovation, it aims to develop a catalogue of sonic structures which transcend boundaries and traditionalism, immersing the audience in landscapes that are both familiar and otherworldly..

The essence resonates through it’s first instalment. A four-track EP offering a dense and muddy trip into the fields of abstract techno. Besides some minor changes to the overall mixdown each track is recorded live. No arrangements, just the primal and impetuous necessity to create. All tracks, just like living organisms, evolve and progress, from the soft tones of ‘Precious Skin’ to the ominous yet soft allure of ‘Chanu Akan’.

Limited 200 unit handstamped available! Comes in limited transparent / purple egg (100 units) and regular black pressing! Exclusively via Clone Records - [https://clone.nl//item77263.html] .

Precious Skin

My set from the Intimat labor day cabin weekender.

LIVE @ INTIMAT LDW 2024

Haumea came armed to the teeth, and with mindful precision layed out a cunning piece of storytelling. As we emerge from a fog cloaked forest, a distant howling lingers on, commencing the hunt. Pressing on, the echoes of ancient burial rites dissipate over a desolate plane. Ever increasing vibrations coalesce into an ambient flood, bending reality as the aural field entangles earth and sky. Directions change, as our surroundings integrate. Razor sharp blades materialize from the void, mutating into rotating rhythms while they cut circles in the air. Following this cadence we change course, entering a world where dynamic kicks and spiralling percussions dominate. At times the glinting reflections of auquatic droplets illuminate our path, before the occasional disruption by cyber-transmissions causes another shift in direction. The end becomes a new beginning, where different routes lead us to the same destination. With this selection of  constantly driving and yet mind-warping assembly of tracks Haumea, the second guest on our mix series, shows his unique quality of moulding different elements together into new forms of life.

Zazen & Medjula - Melding The Ether

Rhiza Semar presents its fourth chapter with Yıldızlara, a four-track odyssey by Hitam shaped from shadow, rhythm, and elemental texture. Crafted as both visceral tools and introspective journeys, the record navigates between ominous density and luminous release, guided by a deep awareness of space, myth, and matter. As an artist, Hitam paves the way for a new sound emerging from his burrows to build bridges between electronic subgenres while shaping a landscape unmistakably his own.

Jaydan Hall is the creative brain behind the ever evolving Zazen journey. Influenced at a fairly young age during the rise of outdoor parties situated along the Mid North Coast of Australia, he quickly grasped the fundamentals of music production and began crafting. This sonic sound may just be the beginning, as it is consistently developing, evolving and finding a signature middle groove. Bringing new ideas to fruition from every crevice of his mind.
