Async Figure is the ultimate alliance of UK based artists MM & Suda. The project was first unveiled with a live show at 2018’s Unsound Festival, inside a gutted industrial kitchen in Krakow. Their debut release Figure I features three high-intensity, melody-first club statements and marks the first in a trifecta of releases for Sea Cucumber.

Sea Cucumber is a label founded in 2021 by Tzusing.

APEAK 'Serenity Before The World'

After a hiatus from his solo project Paavo Piekkari returns to Changeless as APEAK with his latest club forward offering ’Serenity Before The World’.

The four track EP explores what it’s like to exist in the world filled with distractions, love, hate, guestlists at various clubs and magick. Metros run at tight intervals in every part of the world, and people desire closeness after every afterparty. Perception of one’s reality can be altered with rituals or small bags of powders. If our goal is wakefulness, do we still fear the dreamless sleep after?

’Serenity Before The World’ opens with ‘Terminus’, a hard-hitting, noisy and colossal intro in the realm of the EP. ‘Terminus’ if followed by a collaboration with the legendary Northern Electronics and Posh Isolation affiliate Varg²™; their track ’Humid Air (上環)’ was born after two days of frenzy in Hong Kong together. The city seemed to breathe in and spit out everything that it inhaled, from the Rolex storefronts to the bright lights of the skyscrapers. While the first tracks of the EP showcase a more familiar sound from APEAK, the ecstatic ‘Dreamless Sleep’ unveils an entirely new, more euphoric side to his sonic palette. The EP’s closing track ’Stillness (TOMEANGLS)’ is an optimistic lullaby, that features guitars from fellow Hollowland band member Jonathan Engeldahl.

Recorded in Helsinki, Hong Kong & Leuven in 2022-2024

Produced by Paavo Piekkari
Production (Track 2) by Jonas Rönnberg
Guitars (Track 4) by Jonathan Engeldahl

Serenity Before The World

APEAK - Terminus

Soothing yet hyperfast. Here is a triptych of tracks that I've has been playing and recorded at their live shows lately, notably at Quebec's Mutek, France's Nuits Sonores, Austria's Elevate Festival. All at 185 BPM, from nostalgic breaks melodies, to speedcore, you name it!
An early listener and friend ZULI described these as “Intelligent Club Heaterz”, our beloved mastering engineer Joker as “Techjunglehno head bop jazz blue ocean light”... ;P Tell us your thoughts! :))

Chambord Solidmind - Lost In The Desert

Last night, in a lucid dream,
I found myself in ancient Kemet —
the land of the black Kings and Queens, 
radiant in colour and divine splendour.

It was as it once was —
in that golden age before the fall —
when the Cushite, Nubian, and all the Southern Kingdoms stood united as one.

There I beheld 'Kandake',
high priestess of the Temple of the Sun —
what men now call the ruins of Heliopolis.

In the innermost chamber she initiated me,
and upon golden papyrus she unveiled the Prophecy of the Ages —
foretelling the decline of that time,
and the coming birth of a new cycle.

Christopher Jooste -
(-Sa-Ra em Ma’at-Kheru-)

Copenhagen-based DJ and producer Ingrate is ready with his debut EP ‘With A System In Mind’ out 14th of February via Copenhagen label Anyines.

Buy here: https://anyines.bandcamp.com/album/with-a-system-in-mind

Having previously roamed the club scene as Kid Antoine, this EP kicks off the moniker Ingrate, presenting a more mysterious and playful world of sonics; radcool speaker stack music, designed “with a system in mind”. The four tracks of the EP continue in the path of the only Ingrate release so far - 2018’s “Crypto Poser/The Enigma" out via Oli XL’s W-I (now Bloom) label. But it’s as if Ingrate is bringing an even quirkier funk to the club this time. Like a 2020 version of Mr. Oizo, if only a little sexier.

The connection to friend and collaborator Oli XL is clear in the sonics of the EP. Both of them masters of teasing the club - making you smile on the dancefloor. Touching on the the banalities and clichés of club music while still seeking new sound territories, the record is a slight tongue-in-cheek, but optimistic take on the dance music scene of the coming decade. Play it in the club, if you dare.

‘Imp’ takes point with it’s babbling percussion, hammering it’s beliefs firmly in steel against a backdrop of falling, redemptive pads. The jealous, hollow sounding cymbal voices of ‘Deceived’ counterpoint their own thoughts of despair. ‘Hoax’ is a sleight of hand spectacle; a svengali trick deck is conjured up and away again, as at the hand of a deception artist in the middle of a thick smoke screen. In the midst of it all, the listener’s only trustworthy companion becomes a mischievous “catch me if you can" synth; teasing, but still leading them, on their way through this world of mirages. 
The EP’s grand finale is ‘Yourself’ - a funhouse of the mind, full of blinding strobes, distorting mirrors and winking figures.

The world is strange, buckle up for the ride.
