“Release Youth” from Sasha Smirnova’s record Gone Stray. Built around a simple, repetitive melody, the track combines bass-heavy minimalism, trap-inspired hi-hats, and field recordings. Calm on the surface but unsettling in tone, it lingers in tension and restraint.

Composed and produced by Sasha Smirnova
Mixed by Mika at Movement
Mastered by Lorenzo C. at Coreless Collective Sound Studio
Released on White Forest label on September 26th, 2025

Marionette amassed interest straight from the off. The record label, which was founded in 2013, hasn't conformed to traditional aesthetics or functionality of sound. Each release has been eclectic, forward thinking and conceptual in both style and formation. To date the label has released music by Deer, Laurine Frost, Maxim Wolzyn and most recently by Kilchhofer. The latter of which is the next to contribute to our slightly more abstract Wednesday mix series. 

There is little back story or information surrounding the man. His website features a minimalist assortment of drawings, sounds and obscurities. His contribution to our mix series sees him arrange a series of mystical soundscapes, stuttering percussion and disorientated earthly audio from beyond expectations.

Non Projections 14 July, 2020 / dublab.com

This compilation brings together a variety of approaches of EnDM (electronic non dance music), ranging from ambient, drones, to synthesizer music and even a glimpse of world-music-like sounds.

This is an opportunity for some featuring artists to express a different side of their musical output, while others are exploring these realms more frequently.

Disused Machines is a sub label of Confused Machines, focusing on the playful, experimental, obscure and far out sides of modern electronic music.

The compilation is coming out during a global strange time - the pandemic, global police brutality, black lives matter - and locally for us at Confused Machines home land - a rising wave of protests against a corrupt and collapsing democracy regime and our ongoing struggle against occupation. We wouldn’t like to take the focus away from those important matters, but wish to offer a time-out, and maybe, while exploring new sonic scapes, an option to review these issues from a different angle.

List of artists in order of appearance:
PRZ (Chateau Royal); Zoe Polanski (Bela Tar , Youngbloods); Ason Teva (Plazmot - Malka Tuti); Yovav (Plazmot, Shame on us - Malka Tuti, Correspondant); Cosmic Dream Club (Per Musica Ad Astra); Dim Garden (Hunger!, Err-rec) Kolette; Ricatelli
