2023 marks the expansion of traverse as a label, with the first volume of series “traversée” and an 11-track opus from Qetsy. We’re now back with the second edition of traversée - a space for producers to explore their own versatility. A border-free home for artists to share personal ideas, wherever they are from. 

For this second volume, we are welcoming nine artists who, altogether, shape the vision of traverse through its diversity of music and places. 

Val Clipp: "I find it quite difficult to write about my music (or specific tracks) in general. I often tend to work intuitively with the absence of a concept, and just let the compositions unfold over multiple periods of (re-)building, sampling, scrapping and filtering processes. The best results are often achieved by accident."

Val Clipp - Gruesome Things [traverse]

@fairy-diamond

Imagine walking into someone else’s dream. Trying to make space to love and share inside this dream. Watching them be infinitely protected in this dream. You slice and burn and leak among landscapes you didn’t create. And they are untouched, laughing at the magic of a space where they can never be hurt. You scream and hear nothing. You scream and can feel it vibrate through your chest.

Snow Fairy is an electronic music duo based in Brooklyn, New York. Comprised of Paria Almasi and Snow Schwartz, Snow Fairy is an exploration through mixed terrains of love. Their debut release, titled ",,,....,,...;;;;;;;;;;;,,,,,,," was produced for the experimental label 29 Speedway. Melding various elements of synthesis, they bring listeners into a world of sound that is both beautiful and haunting.

[Swine Guest Mix] - bela - Mix For Noise And Cries

This week's TANK Mix is the first in a four-week residency from London's life is beautiful records. To start us off, bianca scout and aloisius have composed an hour of enveloping electroacoustic bliss, all tracks previously unreleased. scout included an accompanying poem alongside the mix:

‘the inception of a flame 

and the no face .... this 'secret' of the first flame .. 

why is it a secret ? 

there is no secret 

u just don't want to share it. want to keep it 

keeping something.  I guess that is a secret 

but with inception 

your just not supposed to know its name 

for it is nameless 

you know it 

the secret is guarding that you already know it 

not that you don't know it 

what u don't know 

is not the secret 


the secret is that you already 

they trying to keep it. secret that you know 

you already know it 

and say you don't know it .

Little ocean waves 
They get in
Coming out and in 
Forget it 
Is it over neath
Forget it 
Can't catch them 
If you tried 

but its Not over over’
