'Noone St. Encounter' and all associated works were created, produced and compiled on unceded Aboriginal land. General Merchant acknowledges that it operates on stolen land, belonging to the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora Nation, and we pay our respects to Aboriginal elders past, present and emerging.

‘Noone St. Encounter’ sonically depicts ex-terrestrial-isms that stem from an obsession of other worldly life forms. Rxex utilises modular synthesis to create atmospheres that are both biologically familiar and alien to the human ear. Probing beyond the outer orbits of the sound-solar system, Rxex incorporates psy-fi fantasy bass-abductionism to create a unique and varied sound that is informed by a distinctive modular synthesis. 

The release features an excellent remix by Naarm based Homelander that operates as a more functional dancefloor track to round out the EP.

Don't Look Back Just Breathe (Homelander Remix)

For its 3rd compilation, Blue Night Jungle dives deeper into the french mental music scene. Enhancing the underground metamorphosis of a new way of conjuring trance within electronic musics, it welcomes a batch of new artists (Beatrice M., RAVL, Vanda Forte, Paul Rêve, Tampo, Orchid, NOGE, Kick21, Solma, Khey Mysterio, Cléo II) but also spare room for known figures of the label (Smogo, Drawbridge, Trois-Quarts Taxi System or Boskøw). Going from deep tribe adventures to dark DnB paths, jungle and trance experiments, it gathers this whole new "mental" scene of french parties for a long journey through the depths of unknown jungles.

A fierce introduction to the world of Oomycota, Confluence is the debut long form release presented by Naarm based bluhol (aka Loïcc).

Building upon bluhol’s debut liveset performed at Minutiae Festival, held on Wiradjuri Land in NSW during the new year cycle 23. Confluence represents a conscious shift in the Australian electronica soundscape, drawing deep inspiration from the vast bush land lining the eastern coast and paying homage to the unique nature and phenomenons that exist there.

bluhol, previously producing under Loïcc, is a sound artist based in Naarm, who’s roots are firmly planted in the Northern Tablelands of NSW. They intricately weave together the organic and synthetic, exploring the juxtaposition of nature’s fluidity with the structured rigidity of urban landscapes. With a keen focus on technical sound design and modular synthesis, bluhol crafts immersive auditory experiences that transport listeners into realms both melancholic and unsettling. Their compositions serve as a medium for contemplation, inviting audiences to reflect on the interplay between their past and future selves.

Oomycota operates on unceded Gadigal land. Confluence was written and produced in Naarm. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of these lands and extend that acknowledgement to the Anaiwan people, the custodians of the lands where bluhol originates and draws inspiration from.

We recognise the immense privilege in being able to create on these lands, and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.

In a distant world, there existed an endless river of cosmic, metallic fluid known as 'Exonda'. This river, normally serene, was moved to overflowing by the wrath of an alien god. Angered by the inhabitants' advanced technology, the god unleashed their fury, causing 'Exonda' to surge through the planet with unstoppable force. The river plunged the world into turmoil, its energy and chaos echoing through the rhythmic dexterity of Ruff Cherry's latest work.

At last, a collection of best-kept unreleased tracks from one of our most prolific artists is emerging as a 5-track collection, 'Exonda EP'—unannounced but unsurprisingly solid in its delivery. Ruff Cherry returns to Midgar to inaugurate our new digital side catalogue, where artists will focus on their strongest club-oriented cuts. These releases will bridge the gaps between our physical records, keeping a continuous flow of music during otherwise quieter months.

To celebrate the first extended play on De la... je l'espère, Partial Pressure EP by Seta Loto, the Italian minimal bass gem, takes listeners through soundscapes where unseen forces shape and bend the space around them. Inspired by the concept of partial pressures —forces coexisting in harmony—  
the EP blends minimal drum and bass, left-field bass, and experimental textures, drifting between the scientific and the surreal. Across 4 original tracks and 2 remixes, the music explores how distinct components unite to form a greater whole.

Seta Loto - Annihilation Scape (Trois-Quarts Taxi System Remix)

A headrush of electronic zaps and synaptic jitters surges throughout ‘Partial Pressure’, @Seta_Loto’s latest offering for @delajelespere. The Italian producer experiments with texture throughout, utilising sub-bass pressure and layered polyrhythms to bind the listener in a continually warping flow.

With this second EP ever released and his second offering to the Electric Shapes' catalogue, Smogo dove deeper into the areas of the subconscient. With a blend of hard rhythms and dangerous sound designs, gathering both his love for Science-Fiction and organic textures, this new EP reflects more than anything his attraction towards ultramodern mental music, well reflecting the ongoing european enthusiasm for fast paced techno, buzzing soundscapes, ethereal harshnes, citing A Strange Wedding, Raär, Solma, Trois-Quarts Taxi System or Sole Massif as his source of influence. Calling this wave as "psytech", it conjures on the dancefloor a bestial spirit made for dance, self-abandon, communion with the others.

From the mountain’s peak, a soul, unshackled and formless, slips through the fronds, carried by the breath of the rainforest. She flows downward through currents of golden dust and spectral winds, melding into them. Both water and spirit, she infiltrates all things, seeping into matter in a slow binding of self to the world. Then matter becomes vibration again, in a ceaseless dance of return and renewal. In an amorphous movement on a liquid cadence and reverberant landscapes, she glides with the heartbeat of the forest, neither predator nor prey but part of the cycle.
The Amazon bears a scar, a crevice that absorbs like earth drinking in the remnants of a storm. Sounds coagulate into this open wound, layering and crusting over like sacred clay, not to conceal but to preserve. Like land after rain, it thickens, absorbs, breathes - matter that recomposes itself without erasing the memory of the split, healing without sealing. In this cycle of breaking and becoming, the sacred unfolds. In the heart of the forest, where soil is soaked in memory, the ritual is repeated. The rain slows, its sound diluted in the earth, returned through liquid echoes. There is tension, release, fusion, transformation. The ritual is complete.

In the 2nd EP by Stagno Records, “Amazzone”, Pianeti Sintetici and Simon Oak chart a cycle of renewal with spectral drones dissolving into tactile, liquid pulses. Rolling sub-bass bubbles like water in stone crevices, flutes rise like mist and intertwine with percussions, creating a multi-textured, atavistic composition which weaves a path between the physical and the spectral. Warm, fluid sonorities contrast with sharp, eerie tones, crafting an immersive push-and-pull effect - like the scar’s cyclical opening and closing, a tension between destruction and restoration. The result is primal yet meditative, a sonic mirage where human experience merges with nature’s pulse.

Pianeti Sintetici & Simon Oak - Amazzone (Previews) [SN002AMZZ]

We are very happy to announce that the first EP “The Other Side” by our friend from Le Midi, Souzo, is now officially out!

Five beautiful originals full of attractive deepness, comforting analogue warmth, and seductive tones for the explorers of the mind.

The drexciyan grooves of ‘A175-4 Levit8’ and the pressure-inducing ‘Don’s Eternal Drift’ set the release’s mood and show Souzo’s delicate taste for sharp, icy transients and round, mellow subs. We just stepped through the gate. Following up is ‘Haze Modulator’, one of those tools you feel like never fading out with a perfect balance between cycles of coercive dancefloor energy and drop-out momentum.

‘Octotiger’ and ‘Overloaded Bucket’ open new corridors and make up the last chapter of the EP where Souzo showcases its interpretation of the drum & bass plus techno cross-bred genre, where rolling hi-hat loops and stomping syncopated kicks provide an anchor to his signature, ethereals and sustained textures.

The release is available for support on Bandcamp and streaming on Soundcloud and any usual platform.
