Caninal #3 w/ Manifesto Disappunto (22/02/25)

The skies began to open up once more as the darkness began to shrink and fade away. It left behind a clear day, one in which they could gaze out upon the landscape which had been concealed and hidden beneath fog and despair for far too long.

The meadows were green once more, the radiance of the sunlight illuminating their emerald glaze with vigour and elegance.

There was something restorative about it all – as if some sort of strange magic had been cast to herald in the dawn of a new day in all its grace and might.

Wandering through the tall reeds, she watched as she took in a world which had been barren for far too long.

Mysterious duo Advent Children are remixed by another as Salamanda reimagine the sound of ‘Restoration Meadows’ creating an ethereal dreamy soundscape which offers promise for the birth of a new enlightened world.

Grid with Blank Patrick - 02 Avril 2025

Maltese producer Rebecca Theuma’s project That bb gets a makeover from Yetsuby Manda, one of half of salamanda’s solo project on Wrong Island communications.

There once was a creature called That BB, Who lived on the shores of Wrong Island, you see.
“I Wish I Had Something To Say But I Don’t,” Was the phrase that this creature would constantly flaunt.

The Yetsuby came with remixes so strange, While Wrong Island Communication deranged
All the messages sent by the creatures around,  Resulting in quite an peculiar sound.


 
“Oh fiddle-dee-fumble!” That BB would cry,  As it danced ‘neath the purple-green spots in the sky.
“My Communication is terribly wrong, I can’t seem to finish this nonsensical song!”

So they pranced and they prangled through dew-dabbled dawn, With Communication so curiously drawn.
That BB and Yetsuby on Wrong Island stayed, In gloriously gibberish games that they played.

We’re premiering Yetsuby’s remix of “I Wish I Had Something To Say But I Don’t” from Maltese producer Rebecca Theuma’s project That bb. The track comes from her upcoming EP “The Words Are Stuck In My Throat” on Wrong Island Communications, with Yetsuby (one half of Korean act Salamanda) maintaining the dreamlike original but transforming it into a skittering, drum-laden, handclap madness, wig out. One for the sunrise methinks, whether that’s the end of a very long night or the start of a beautiful new day.

“I wrote these songs while going through a prolonged writer’s block. I had moved to another country and found myself feeling very alone and lost,” explains Theuma. “At this particular point in my life, sounds were better at explaining my inner landscape than words.”

The EP will be released on the ACE Scottish-born, now Lisbon-based label Wrong Island, with artwork by Polish artist Jo Sekieta.

Cuddle The Rain

No ship is unsinkable

Built from the spaces between beats. 'Stardust and Guts' emerged from letting the music breathe and find its own path - drums floating in distant reverbs, bass side-chained to synth swells instead of kicks, percussion scattered like texture rather than rhythm.

The title nods to Vonnegut's blend of cosmic wonder and human messiness. Every element here serves the whole - no forced leads, no unnecessary layers. Just response and conversation between sounds, the way ambient house should be.

Recorded with analog warmth, processed through vintage delays and hall reverbs. The kind of track that reveals new details on each listen, designed for headphones and late-night contemplation
