Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland-based producer Eli Høff releases his highly anticipated full-length record, 'Raraku'. The artist, becoming increasingly known across Aotearoa/New Zealand as a local visionary for forward-thinking techno, delivers a striking debut across the record, a comfortable footing atop his wealth of experience thus far.

'Crone', premiered here, is a perfect encapsulation of what 'Raraku' offers: a powerful and hypnotic ritual. 

A sparse, echoing atmosphere sits beneath a pulsating kick, regularly drawing the listener in & out of 'Crone's sonic terrain with a shifting focus across percussion, texture and space.

Of the release, Eli Høff shared:

"This album is the culmination and manifestation of my years of experimentation within the electronic world, and I think it is, so far, the best representation and expression of my artistic intent to date.



My ethos here was to step back and think more about the purpose I want to fulfill, what I want my music to provide, and then, moving deeper, what I myself gain from this kind of music. The need to escape, I think, is deeply set within us, and electronic music is incredibly effective at providing and aiding that escape. A dark room, a dark field, a massive wall of sound, and a crowd of people all there for the same reason. To me, this has always felt ceremonial, with the DJ taking on an almost shamanic role. I’ve explored a lot about how to lean into this properly, but I don’t think I’ve fully captured it until now.



Minimalism is an interesting thing and, in my opinion, the key to the whole question. Creating a track that is stripped back and empty, yet sonically interesting and atmospherically potent. This is the hardest challenge I’ve faced as a producer and is what I’ve spent years trying to achieve. I’m a dissociative partier, meaning I like to get enveloped by the music and lose myself within its worlds, and Raraku is my take on creating one of these worlds to get lost in. Through the run time, you can find yourself in ancient forests, arid deserts, or part of rituals from epochs past. It’s something that won’t fit everywhere, but when played at the right time, in the right environment, it’ll be a special experience.



All these sensibilities are what I want to capture with Abyssal Soundworks. Aotearoa has an incredibly special scene, but our voice and visibility globally is very small. We have a whole bunch of world-class artists who don’t get seen, or don’t release music because they feel as though they won’t be. Or they feel alienated by local scenes because their music might be a bit too forward-thinking, or just slightly outside the ordinary. Ideally, ABSW could be an outlet for these artists to connect with the international scene, and more importantly, for the international scene to connect with us."

'Raraku' releases in full via Abyssal Soundworks' Bandcamp next Tuesday, August 26.

Paromanormal - Wet Drum Ritual [TLVA011]

V/A - shiny.non.definable.rarities.03
Artist: @guildnavigator-mp3

"Introducing Flux Collective - shiny.non.definable.rarities.03 - the third chapter in our boundary-dissolving compilation series, dedicated to the raw, unshaped pulse of underground electronic music. This edition embraces deeper progressions, drawing listeners into hypnotic currents that flow between the ethereal realms of trance and the murky density of swampy textures.

Each track pushes forward with evolving structures and unexpected turns, revealing sonic experiments that shimmer, pulse, and breathe beyond convention. More than a collection, it’s an immersive passage - a space where progression is endless, trance is reimagined, and the undefined finds its voice."

"Fam Records News: the new release from Morpha is here.
This’s his first full-length album in two years. What does it sound like? Morpha explains.
I stopped making music in my usual genre, so I spent a long time experimenting and searching for a new sound. In that sense, the FAM label became a place where I could finally feel free. An important symbiosis happened — core values aligned with my need for something new.
How did it all start? I literally opened Ableton and went into the unknown. No reference tracks, just a desire to create something fresh. I was interested in layering my hypnotic background with new BPMs and rhythms, trying out breaks and bass sounds. These tracks weren’t inspired by any other artist.
At the same time, I was working on a dancefloor project at Mutabor on Masalnaya, embedding those same 85/170 experiments. That’s a profound and significant experience for me — hence the release’s name. There’s no need to look for a direct connection between that experience and the tracks themselves. I’d say it just sounds cool, looks good, and it’s a personal milestone for me."

𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Morpha - You/I [fam - 010]

This project spreads across different soundscapes exploring and building new  vibratory paths that helps us navigate through a vast web of interconnected frequencies and rhythms, creating unique and intimate spaces for dancers to take part in a sonic experience in a way that can most directly connect the body, the mind and the soul to the main source as it transforms land forms into celestial beings.

It has been a very long way since the beginning of this piece but I am very happy to have it finally released! Always thankful for all the trust and understanding from all the artists involved and every who has been supporting, lovers and protectors of this journey on the alluring coherence between sound and creation.
