HEDON
The Hedonic Treadmill [Album]

https://soundcloud.com/vumantra/sets/hedon-the-hedonic-treadmill

Rituals give weight to our days. They break the blur of life’s constant rush and remind us what matters. In a world that keeps pushing us forward, chasing what never lasts, rituals help us stop, breathe, and feel alive. They’re like a small death to the endless grind — a way of stepping off the treadmill, even just for a moment.
The Hedonic Treadmill is a raw reflection on the chaos of modern life — a world addicted to speed, stimulation, greed, and endless craving. It’s a descent into the kafkaesque fast-frenetic world of consumerism and hijacked attention spans that we live in, striving to turn noise into signal.
Blending dark industrial techno with ritualistic textures, Buddhist undercurrents, and the pulse of Moroccan folklore, the EP explores the tension between synthetic systems and ancestral memory. From warped mantras to distorted rhythms, each track spirals deeper into the mess — sometimes meditative, sometimes violent, seeking cleansing driven by storytelling and culminating in a cinematic climax.

COCKTAIL TWINKS - [Vūdcast_055]

https://soundcloud.com/vumantra/cocktail-twinks-vudcast_055

Cocktail Twinks crafts techno rituals where distorted industrial textures and relentless repetition
induce states of dissociation, trance and collective release.
Rooted in Berlin’s transfeminist underground and shaped by projects like Pixelflowers (a VJ duo
mixing digital and analogue techniques), HIGH (a genderfuck dark techno ritual) and Interzone (an
anticapitalistic queer techno party), Cocktail Twinks channels radical transcendence. Their sets
carve out ecstatic zones where queer bodies and minds can find a welcoming space to warp time,
sensation and self.
Drawing from industrial, EBM, gritty distorted guitars and the hypnotic percussion of Southern
Italian traditional music, Cocktail Twinks takes dancers on a psychedelic journey – rejecting the
sanitized catharsis of mainstream club culture and evoking altered states of mind, existence and
resistance.

ZONA INTERDUNAR - [Vūdcast_056]

Zona Interdunar formed when a deathcore bassist and a jazz trumpet player decided to play techno together. After the release of their first BISHOP on Vumantra, the duo focused on an intense live activity, establishing itself as a staple of the underground Berlin live-techno scene. Their improvised livesets combine icy trumpets, heavy riffing and complex patterns with the driving energy of techno and incorporates moments of musical experimentation while remaining functional to the dynamics of the dancefloor.

Master: "Mastered by The Black Hole Mastering."

THE DARK WASP - [Vūdcast_057]

The Dark Wasp emerged from a cocoon of classical and contemporary music, once a flutist, now reborn into the electric pulse of modular synthesis. Her metamorphosis gave rise to a sonic identity woven from EBM, dark electro, and flickers of synthwave.
Mechanical basslines, dystopian textures, distorted sirens, and melodies that struggle to surface—only to dissolve into noise—define her sound. It's a journey through cyberpunk dreamscapes and dark electro rhythms, constantly shifting, breaking, and rebuilding itself. A looped echo of a beginning that never truly ends.

NIGH/T\MARE - [Vūdcast_058]

A malevolent obscurity is followed by a sentimental melancholy drifting towards a deep journey into the introspection and the subconscious. It constantly emerges into the horrific and ritualistic soundscape of cryptic techno, of ancient tribal images, and of industrial dystopian visions, all melancholy is then shattered for having embraced evilness.
Giuseppe Sciretti, better known as Nigh/T\mare Alias, is an Italian DJ, producer, and live performer who is based in Puglia (South Italy).
He started his musical project in 2016. His productions will be published on the record labels Thrènes, Several Minor Promises, Forbidden Teachings, Depth Request, Kontralakina, VūMantra Records etc...
