HbA-21: Various Artists - Refraction of Light Vol. II (Amniote Editions 2025)

Amniote Editions resurfaces with the HbA capsule, a dual release pairing the debut album from Hasvat Informant and his Intellagama moniker with a 21-track digital compilation, that coils through ambient, IDM, experimental, techno, trance and beyond. 

Refraction of Light Vol. II gathers 21 artists linked by place yet divergent in expression, charting a fluid passage of moods, drifting from first light to nightfall. 

The compilation’s framing draws from its title: like light refracting on the horizon of a long drive, it bends shifting sounds and perspectives into a shared vision shaped by distance, connection, and the landscapes in between.

In the same way, Amniote Editions’ capsules provide fertile ground for music to evolve — nurturing divergent practices, experimental forms, and cross-genre encounters. Refraction of Light Vol. II extends this lineage, binding artists through place and possibility, and echoing so-called Australia’s role as a cradle of creative life within its worldwide snakeweb.

Conceived on the land of the Gadigal peoples of the Eora Nation, the project acknowledges the traditional custodians of this country, paying respect to elders past and present, and recognising that sovereignty was never ceded.

10% of profits from this compilation will be donated to Palestine Australia Relief and Action (PARA). PARA help Palestinian migrants and refugees live safe, happy, and fulfilling lives in Australia.

Obtuse Swamp's third ecosystem "Reef Stage” from Berlin based producer Ilayruni dives deep into polyrhythmic slow-mo-feeling spatial sound architectures. With a remarkable evolving narrative, the EP is a constant evolution of both rhythm and spatial soundscapes. This time french producer @arsene_martinet along with London based @o-utlier and @caldera-caldera give us another perspective of the very bottom of our biome. Cannot end this ecosystem presentation with a huge mention to our beloved biome designer @fredonne_desktopfiles delivering another 3D exploration of Obtuse Swamp.

premiere: Ilayruni - Sand Dollars [Obtuse Swamp]

Paris-based artist Solma delivers Fiber Bundle, a nine-track album deeply rooted in minimalism and psychedelia.

Co-founder of Virtual Forest Records, a key platform within the French low-end psychedelia scene, Solma sharpens his distinctive sound — moving fluidly between deep techno, mental tribe and halftime rhythms to build a dense yet spacious world of sound.

Drawing from the hypnotic pulse of modern deep techno and the vibrant energy of UK bass music, Fiber Bundle explores a precise and immersive approach to production. Each track unfolds as a self-contained environment, where repetition, texture and motion intertwine to form a meditative, psychedelic continuum.

All Tracks are written and produced by Antoine Salmona aka Solma
All Tracks are mastered by Baptiste Langlois aka OTON @ grada

"Conceived as a vessel dedicated to a single frequency, Monolith 45 is born to trace the lineage of progressive trance - that tribal, hypnotic, and ceremonial sound that carved its path during the early 2000s, and which today we reclaim with reverence. Each release stands as a stone marker along this continuum: timeless signals that resonate equally with memory and vision. As with the broader work of Organic Signs, this new line will follow a dual path: rescuing forgotten gems from the past while also curating new music that embodies the same spirit. Monolith 45 becomes the place where past and present intertwine, shaping a narrative that honors tradition while opening new doors for exploration. The first monolith in the series carries with it two totems of the genre:

On the B-side, Ticon – Lo Mi Hi, a track that saw the light in 2001 on Digital Structures, one of the most influential labels of that era. Ticon are nothing short of mythical within this universe — pioneers whose sound blurred borders between deep grooves, psychedelic textures, and progressive structures, leaving an indelible mark that still resonates with dancers and producers worldwide.

With Monolith 45, we seek not only to preserve these transmissions but to project them into the present: to reawaken a sound that was always more than music, a tribal pulse, a ritual language that invited bodies and minds into collective trance.

This is our homage, our offering, and our way of extending the path forward."
