Dark, deep and trippy; Ukrainian producer shjva takes us on a voyage to the centre of reality.

A mysterious craft drifts dormant through the void. Glitchy breaks and twinkly synths blink into motion as systems initialise, preparing for the final approach to the Metazone.

Polycaste engines throb in the background whilst control panels bleep rhythmically, trippy arps ensue.

The craft lurches into motion, astral synths flash by the viewing port as the bassline sunders reality. You Must Let it Go.

Final approach to the Metazone, Eversines remix. Instruments spin and bleepy wildly. Dark 303s distort spacetime. The craft grinds to a halt.

We have arrived.

Our VTD digital series seems to have naturally gravitated towards darker tones more suited for the late night, and we’re really happy to continue that theme with this this release which is deep, trippy and cerebral in equal parts.

PREMIERE | shjva - Metazone [Viscera Transmissions]

Ransom Note Records are over the moon to welcome illustrious French Electronic duo Froid Dub to the fold for the debut 12” vinyl release with us, Tears Maker Chant. Head honchos of the wonderful Delodio label, Stéphane and François, mark the 50th release for R$N Recs, and this is without a shadow of a doubt an incredibly special one for us. So, sit back and ready yourself for some inimitable Froid Dub cuts; laid back but pounding, graceful yet aggressive but above all, thoroughly danceable.

First single On The Nose enters next, with a delightfully soft, round bass that feels like bouncing around a padded room. Inside a Zorb. On MDMA. More echoed, analogue motifs dart from left to right, confirming with strong conviction that our chaps from Paris put the Dub in Indubitably Fantastic.

PREMIERE: Froid Dub - On The Nose [Ransom Note Records]

Credit 00 is still doing his thing with PUT THE FUNK BACK IN 2 TECHNO, saving you from the horrors of today's life with a bunch of stirring tracks to dance against oppression. On his seventh EP for Uncanny Valley the Leipzig based funkster finds solace in his craft, doing what he does best. And that is to make dance music that is both undeniably catchy and blessed with an ever-surprising range of ideas and styles.

What all the tracks have in common is that they have been written by someone who is deeply committed to the roots of dance music. On top of that, he has the enviable ability to find titles that already give you a hunch of sound and message of the tracks, even before you listen to them. Be it the title track with its wild Detroit rhythms and piano sound bits or the closer YOU NEED 2 CHILL, a still highly danceable ode to 90s chill out floors. While the stomping BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT gets use of Credit 00's own voice, the chords heavy CHURCH FOR THE RENEGADES is a perfect example of inventive use of vocal samples.

All in all, it's music you pretty much can't help but love. Also, don't miss a closer look at the front and back cover, which are full of references and iconographies from the history of dance music. In typical Credit 00 style, it's a super entertaining way for the artist to give credit to a lot of his influences.

NOISE DESIGN – BOARDS OF ELECTRONICA BY RAWTEKK

Sonic Architects Series – The Quiet Drama of Tape-Worn Memories

Boards of Electronica distils the quiet drama of worn memories: melancholic, nostalgia-tinged harmonic textures and dark-lyrical, decayed soundscapes with tape wow & flutter that lend each sound a lived-in feel. Synths breathe with mood, movement and space; chords and pads bloom into bittersweet colour without crowding the spectrum.

The drum work spans dusty, noisy trip-hop breaks, IDM-leaning downtempo beats and ’80s-style lo-fi kits captured from warbly cassette recordings. Drums lean into lazy swing and behind-the-beat pockets.

The analogue signal path provides warmth and grain, while careful editing and gain staging keep everything tidy and arrangement-ready.

Shaped through vintage front end, it balances gentle saturation, tape drift and dusty micro-detail with modern clarity, so parts drop straight into your mix. The set runs between 65–90 BPM. 

Whether you’re producing electronica, brooding lo-fi tracks with a morbid touch, nostalgic, melancholic trip-hop or cinematic soundtracks, ‘Boards of Electronica’ supplies retro charm, space and focused precision and detail that make your production feel complete. 

Produced by Rawtekk for Noise Design.
