AN ATLAS OF LOSS

Do minerals dream of becoming semiconductors? Do they yearn to carry charges, amplify, switch, and convert energy into emotions comprehensible to humans? And what if, from the darkness of the underground, they had been listening to us sing in caves before the emergence of the first flute? Could they have guided us, through the course of history, to find them, extract them, and create new sounds through sinusoidal waves, to form valves and bend circuits?


If so, minerals would transition from what philosopher Eugene Thacker defines as the ‘planet’—that virginal and unreachable realm for humans that we study through geology, paleontology, and environmental sciences—to the ‘world,’ the space we inhabit, interpret, and synthesise in our daily lives. Sadly, we only remember the world when it erupts violently, through climate catastrophes or when a new virus emerges. Sometimes a tsunami collides with a nuclear plant, or viruses are cultivated as biological weapons in high-security laboratories, provoking a deep biological anxiety, hard to quell, which we all feel beneath our skin.

There exists a third realm, disconnected from both the world and the planet: the ‘earth’, an immense, dense rock floating in space alongside other planets, situated in the cosmological dimension. Relating to the earth is so complex that we only do so through theoretical speculations of a scientific nature or through science fiction, interweaving until one becomes the prophecy of the other, in an infinite, pendular dance. Beyond the darkness of space and Lovecraft’s cosmic horror, the fantasy of human extinction is the most recurrent: to reach a collapse so devastating that we do not survive it, even though the earth does, without us.

In a world where we quantify everything through body sensors, financial algorithms, nanometre-scale robots, and surveillance drones—a world in which everything that can be domesticated and controlled can also be commodified—a superior artificial intelligence would survive the collapse of the species (some speculate it might even cause it) and learn from our mistakes, thanks to our obsessive gathering of data.

Long after our voices fade, minerals will persist in the darkness of screens, in the silicon of chips, and in their pure form, still unexploited underground. Over the millennia, this intelligence might piece together fragments of our reasoning, as if an alien civilization finally connected with one of our spacecrafts loaded with messages cast into the void. It would sort through endless streams of data, unable to grasp the depths of emotion behind what it quantified, recreating simulations of our past, stripped of the nuance that once defined us and conducting experiments in sandboxes.

Some remnants of our existence—faint echoes of forgotten beauty—would be pieced together in an atlas of loss, buried beneath layers of numbers, decayed bots, and corroded hard drives. What will follow? Perhaps bison will once again roam—trotting to the strange pulse of techno, their ancient forms framed by the ruins of our cities. Buildings will crumble, slowly dissolving under the soft touch of ambient music, and a thousand flowers will bloom with that ancient music created through electrical signals and computation.

7 songs for a future both improbable and inevitable—a final message from a world lost to itself, from planet Earth to planet Earth.

Pugilist & Forest Drive West - Polygon [CEEXYZ05]

It’s been a while since the last split EP on the label, but the wait is finally over: we present a striking combination of dry, functional modular techno and tech-infused dub cuts from none other than Berlin’s Endmodell and NYC’s Connor Wrong.
On the A-side, Endmodell delivers 0210, which wastes no time in setting the pace. A stomping techno rumbler with frantic synth shots and arpeggios, it just keeps rolling, leaving no one behind. His second track, 0704, is a breaky, melodic techno tool layered with mysterious vocals and searing noise FX. It floats forward effortlessly, providing the perfect transition to the more dub-driven B-side, where Connor Wrong’s tracks shine brightly.
Things kick off with Paws Up, creeping in with slightly dissonant chords before easing into a smooth, tech-dubby groove. Its already iconic “Put your Paws Up” vocal makes the track instantly memorable; a true roller that never loses its cool while keeping the groove alive. Closing the record is Pleroma Dub, the slowest and most heavyweight dub piece of the release. With jazzy melodies and a mesmerising low-end, it draws the EP to a deep and hypnotic close.
W133012 will be released on 10.10.2025 as a limited 25-copy vinyl edition alongside a digital version, accompanied by analogue photographic artwork by Philipp Roth.

Fast At Work returns with another statement EP, this time from the label’s own Carré (@carreo) and her closest collaborator Danny Goliger (@dannygoliger). Navigating through textured atmospheres, rhythmic explorations, and immersive landscapes, they allowed their music to unfold naturally—an organic process shaped by curiosity and intuition. Each track was born from sampling its predecessor, creating a recursive dialogue that guided the creative flow. A commitment to a tension-building groove in ‘Up Too Late’, the warped dub throughlines of ‘Tricky One’, the intricate, delicate uptempo delight that is ‘Exit Plan,’ and the bridge between all four tracks ‘Don’t Keep Me In Suspense’ — each reflect different moments in this journey. An expert in textural exploration, the Dutch DJ and producer Konduku (@kondukukonduku) brought out the true hypnotic potential of the title track. Their influences ripple outward, yet the sound remains inherently theirs—fluid, unbound by singular genre or label.

P̷R̷E̷M̷I̷E̷R̷E̷ 🦛✨ xin - wasted anew [appendix.files]

What better way to kick off the 2nd season of the Ælthoran Architects series than the talented Christian Coiffure? 
As always, he delivers the perfect blend between Uk bass genres & hybrid Drum &  Bass.
CC releases on Comic Sans Records and Worst Records, alongside appearances on numerous compilations, including Silure Albinos Fishing Club, Bamboo Show Tapes, Krakzh, Electroménager, Metaphore Collectif, Vernacular Records, Brainwaves, Grid Records, Pressure Dome, Tsunami Recordings, La Mamie's, Seismic Wave, Feng Shit Records, Lurid Music, Bad Tips, Shaw Cuts, and Absorb Emit.

Souzo : Ælthoran Architects with Christian Coiffure - 08 Octobre 2025

Our next VA compilation pushes deeper into the exploratory world of Pressure Dome, presenting another collection of forward-facing cuts that straddle introspection and dancefloor energy. Across ten tracks, familiar names and new collaborators stretch the label’s sonic identity into fresh terrain equally suited for immersive listening as for club catharsis.

Opening the release, Caldera & Yushh combine again with “Bubbletrain” a minimal trip round the swamp with momentum is carried by cavernous space and effervescing textures. Breaka & Yushh follow with “Betta With U”, a fluorescent downtempo beauty that tugs on the heart. On “The Grass”, Harry Rodger & Yushh pair lush atmospheres with contradictory shades of beauty and melancholy.

Piezo & Yushh arpeggiated melodies weave through an intricately designed world. Stones Taro & Breaka continue to twist things up on “Flies In The Kitchen” as warped vocals and warm wubs ride over dancehall rythmns and swampy textures. SCG & Dubrunner’s “Building Farm” bring a heady fusion of dubwise stabs and downtempo propulsion on their second outing together. 

On “Cheeky V”, Gramcy & MLE provide one of the compilation’s most immediate club weapons. Stripped-back, precise, and primed for a wiggle. Dubrunner & Yushh link up on “Trash Panda”, a playful yet fierce construction, where skipping acid lines and lush pads meet in off-kilter harmony.

Closing out the release, Roy Mills & Yushh’s “ZzZ” drifts into dreamier territory with warm vocal chops and weightless breaks, before Forever & Human Resources bring things to an intricate, thoughtful conclusion on “What Kind Of Bird Is This” a deep weave of chords and breaks that leaves the compilation in contemplative flight

Cutz From The Vault EP

Premiere: Paolo Rocco - Pacific Surf [Rutilance Recordings]

For the 'Nosy Neighbors' EP, he's crafted a bit of everything, left no stone unturned and sculpted four wall-shaking anthems ready to turn a dancefloor into a giddy mess.

We've been really rating the chord-laden, techno-leaning stylings of 'Multiverso' but here we present the title track, a cut that's got the legs to make it all the way to the terraces in Ibiza this summer.

The percussion is quintessential Cuartero and it clatters along with a focused groove before big, thick basslines come bounding in. The build-ups are prolonged to the point of agony but then just picture yourself in Amnesia, 5am and the sun's coming through the windows, when that drop hits and the cannons fire, you'll be in fucking heaven.

Premiere: Cuartero 'Nosy Neighbors'

Peder Mannerfelt splits the difference between playful immediacy and daring experimentation. You’re as likely to find him premiering a live show at Berlin’s Atonal festival as pulling apart fabled techno meccas from Berghain to Fabric with synapse-frying precision. One minute he’s being asked to remix Björk, and the next he’s dropping EPs of non-conformist techno for Karenn’s Voam label. 

As a prolific collaborator throughout his career, Mannerfelt has veered from the orchestral tension of Roll The Dice (with Malcolm Pardon) to the anything-goes maximalism of Aasthma (with Pär Grindvik). As a producer, he’s worked on every one of Fever Ray’s acclaimed albums and live shows, as well as projects from alt music heavyweights such as Smerz, Blonde Redhead and Glasser. His Peder Mannerfelt Produktions label has become another outlet for his singular approach, presenting his work alongside similarly experimental operators like Sissel Wincent, Machine Woman, Klara Lewis and Hodge. 

More recently, his PM+ series celebrates the immediacy of club-focused tracks, and Mannerfelt thrives on the energy and community of contemporary club music. What makes him different is his response to that energy, as he pushes the music’s possibilities in wild, unpredictable directions.
