"DDS04 serves up a quintet of chrome-tanned, hi-velocity beats courtesy of Italian hardware fetishist Anna Funk Damage and Austrian-Hungarian outfit Dutch Courage - alias Superskin & Új Bála - each of whom step up to the plate to deliver an exquisitely ear-wormy slice of their deranged industrial gospel.
Full streaming of Anna Funk Damage's track "Youssef", a high frequency material loop. Filthy distorted vocals which sound like coming from a roaring monster, hard hitting snares, percusiveness - gritty drums and neurotic bass, in combination with the approximate quite eastern tune.

Mårble is the alias of musician and multi-instrumentalist Anton Glebov. "1691" is his first solo long-playing album after quite a long break, and this is a great comeback! The album is filled with spiritual and spaced-out jazz-inspired music, recorded mainly by Mårble all by himself in his former studio in Saint Petersburg during the years 2021 and 2022. The studio was a big inspiration for Anton. He and his friends made a really special place, where instead of their home studios, they finally had no limits and could play and record music with ease. Even the name of the album is an homage to the studio; the number of the studio's door was 1691.

At the time when the album was in the process of making, Mårble was listening to a lot of Afro-Cuban music and Latin jazz. You start to hear it from the first seconds, and it's such a unique blend of these genres and his rich musical experience and vision. "1691" is full of different moods and echoes, and yet it is a really complete work. The album starts with the track "Unified Force" and ends with "Magic", those are two "new-agy", spiritual tracks where your mind just wants to drift on the soundwaves peacefully, but in-between you get a huge variety of compositions. Each one has its own unique story that needs to be heard. Some of the tracks on the album are more intense, like "Chomga", "3th of December" or "Pedritto", where suddenly you get sounds of slightly distorted trumpet or singing in Portuguese/gibberish, and other tracks with a more relaxed atmosphere, like "Jr. Pomidor" you can almost call Balearic. Also, can't forget to mention the great work of saxophone and flute player Slavik Ipatov who has recorded parts for tracks "Boss Latinoss", "Yog Cave" and "Pedritto".

The artwork for this record was made by an artist Alisa Gvozdeva, who's been working on previous Mårble releases a lot. On the back of the "1691" vinyl record cover, you will be able to see the drawing of the studio, thanks to which the recording of this album became possible.

"1691" is a truly great and unique album from start to finish, and we hope you'll enjoy it just like we do.

Piles of photographs lay strewn across the floor, smiling faces and caught-off-guard expressions looked up at her. A scrapbook of times gone by, a collage of adventures and journeys she'd no longer forget. But these were more than just pictures, more than just memories. Without them she'd have forgotten everything but thanks to these, nothing would ever fade away...

Following his debut on Shall Not Fade last year with long-time collaborator Newborn Jr., Earth Trax returns to the label for his first LP under this moniker. Also known for his musings under his given name Bartosz Kruczyński, as well as The Phantom and one half of duo Ptaki, Earth Trax is just as comfortable crafting ambient downtempo cuts as he is dreamy breaks and driving cold wave. LP1 showcases his knack for different styles and sounds, bringing together different influences from early IDM to house, breakbeat and minimal synth.
