Art Bei Ton’s 5th EP features the precise and refined sound of Einerlei, captured in six pieces. From the first track of the release, Einerlei weaves and crafts an ever progressing immersive, atmospheric and psychedelic journey that quickly thrusts the listener into an introspective space.

Each piece is patiently paced while the body of works consistently builds on the existing rhythmic texture. The release also features a collaborative track with SHFT and a remix from the London-based, Ukrainian artist, Volodymyr Gnatenko.

The EP’s title track, Suguna, presents a broken-beat, rhythmically pulsating environment that evokes a sense of urgency and confrontation as it sinks deeper.

OW12 Loek Frey - Nayan

Some things simply need time to brew. Loek Frey returns to Omen Wapta with his third release on the label: Nayan. The Amsterdam-based artist shares a long-standing friendship with label head Woody92 – keeping each other in motion as artistic peers since the label’s inception. Over time, they’ve built a shared archive of material: sound sketches, tracks, and sonic touchpoints – an ever-evolving third space where their paths continue to meet as they move in parallel. Nayan emerges from this deep-rooted exchange: a distilled six-track release that fuses Frey’s cerebral intricacy with the label’s primordial uncanniness, reaffirming both as key voices in a yet-to-be-defined sonic realm.

Diving into the release, Frey’s signature remains intact – tactile, spatial, and rhythmically precise – but a subtle shift is at play. A paring down. A move toward something more reduced, maybe even more patient, yet no less absorbing. The A side leans inward: deep pressure, spectral traces, and an undercurrent of tension that never quite resolves. It’s music for staying with, not escaping from. Flip to the B side and the palette widens – kicks land heavier, patterns loosen, textures fill the full frequency field. Still deeply rooted in the Wapta world, but with an assertiveness that whispers rather than shouts. Somewhere between absence and force.

With Nayan, Loek Frey carries his Omen Wapta narrative into new territory – merging restless experimentation with dancefloor intention.
