Exclusive Tape Hiss - Scirocco

Italian boutique label Alzaya kickstarts its year with five fresh new takes on the label's first various artist EP ever and seemingly the beginning of a new series on the label. Known for their carefully chosen artists and tracks, Alzaya continues to walk this path with the their Various Artists 001 delivering music in the label's signature style, meaning Disco-esque moments meet Deep House to kiss the floor awake. Brooklyn-based producer Aaron Seth Vaslow, better known under his Tape Hiss moniker, delivers a dreamy, almost Balearic House track that's bubbling over with emotions sweeping over the floor like the track's name Scirocco, which could be both: a reference to the car or the wind coming from the Sahara. Whatever, it may be, the feel-good vibes on Tape Hiss track are inevitable, catchy and foremost an allegory of harmony.

Alzaya's VA 001 will be released on July 1st, 2022.

EXCLUSIVE: Tape Hiss - Scirocco [Alzaya]

This place had a feeling. It was something indescribable, you simply had to experience it to know... There was a freedom that imbued everything, from mind to body, location to energy; nothing was constrained or shackled. They sat on the sand banks looking out to sea, the sun beat down on their backs as the slow and steady pulse of the music wrapped them up in a warm blanket. They were present, more present than they'd ever been before, if only this moment could last forever...

Simas Slabačiauskas has been part of the Lithuanian music scene for many years. Whether it's through his iconic Smala nights (alongside Manfredas and Marijus Klimaitis), or his 12 Inčų po žeme project with the latter, to his more recent Tribal Ice Cream duo with Middle Sky Boom, good music remains at the core of everything he does.

With his first solo single under his given name, which also marks the second release on his newly founded Sorelsol label, he invites us to find our "inner sun" through the warm, organic rhythms of 'Sun Jacuzzi' which features vocals from his Tribal Ice Cream partner and guitar from JUODUOMENĖ member Tumosa. The release also comes with a stripped back instrumental version, and two remixes on the flip from Tim Paris and a clubby rendition from Middle Sky Boom.

Dam Vera - Timo

You don't have to cross the oceans, you don't have to climb all the mountains and ford all the rivers, find the last bridges and cross the distant plains to reach the horizon. You just have to uncover the mantle of what you've been told. What all the elites tried to tell you, what the fools despised, what the companies tried to sell you without you needing it. Away from selfishness and proving your own importance. "Assembly Plant For Human Priorities" is an eleven-part mystical essence synth mosaic of the integral parts of our lives that don't seem to concern us, but only until we start going to them with tears in our eyes to lay wreaths by cemetery candlelight.

As many eyes as you want to keep open, that's how many you can have. That's how much you can give away around you. "Assembly Plant For Human Priorities" is a question mark in a sentence where there is often a period. An exclamation point where many hear a question mark.

[PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] proudly presents its 75th release — a deep, enveloping journey as gentle as evening air by the water. From Newcastle, South Africa, arrives Pool Of Dub — the new full-length album from sonic artisan EmmaSoul (@sphelele-emmasoul).

Nine compositions, nine reflections shimmering on the surface of a dubwise pool. These aren’t just tracks — they’re drops, waves, and ripples echoing across the ambient surface of dub techno.

::: Pool Of Dub — the title track and the entry point into immersion. A deep mix that feels like your first step into the water, where rhythm dissolves into atmosphere.
::: Claim It — assertive and magnetic, this piece claims its space with confidence and leaves a lasting imprint.
::: Ocean Waves — layered textures roll like tide against the shore, a true aquatic sound sculpture.
::: Zano's Rhythm — a pulsating manifesto. A rhythm perhaps dedicated to a friend or spirit, encoded in the beat itself.
::: Head 2 Head — a sonic duel, rich in reverb and narrative, blending intensity and fluidity.
::: My Dub Friends — a warm vibration, a musical letter to kindred spirits scattered across the globe.
::: Help Me — a cry into silence, or maybe a call toward peace. A track full of air and anticipation.
::: Experimental — the sound of freedom. EmmaSoul diverges boldly from the path, inviting the listener to explore.
::: Stop & Go — the closing gesture: pause and pulse, exhale and inhale. The cycle ends — and prepares to begin again.

Pool Of Dub is a soundtrack for inner drifting, for quiet evenings and introspective thoughts. EmmaSoul carves out a sonic space where you can just be — without noise, yet fully alive in rhythm.

[PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] continues to open new dimensions of global dub techno, giving voice to true audio explorers. Submerge into this pool of dub — and linger there until the last bass echo fades.

Yours in sound and spirit,
The [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] Crew.
