Listened a few times since yesterday...really loving it

"It was then, floating in the passivity of induced consumption, in which it became clear that this functional mechanism of time was but a codified drift. With our particular indifference to an imposed rationality, all semblance of alterity had been lost".

As we take a step back from what we knew as "club" music; Thodén's debut album, This Codified Drift, takes us on an emotional sonic journey through ambient experimentation and refined electronic sound design.

Grid kick off 2024 with Contrast EP, a mesmerising collection of future-facing tracks from certified one-to-watch Plebeian. The NYC producer is quickly garnering deserved attention for his acutely detailed and explorative bass productions reminiscent of Objekt and Djrum.

With his EP Plebeian offers up four shimmering and lush dance organisms that exist in an ecosystem entirely of their own. Microscopic drum engineering coupled with flourishes of dubbed out percussion, moments of blissful beauty and infinitely oscillating synth swells, all distilled to create 4D soundscapes that will captivate and intrigue the listener.

All things are in perpetual motion and at the centre of this flux is self-discovery. ‘Dreaming Of Us While Slowly Catching Fire In a Place I Never Belonged’ is an introspective portrait of NVST, a multi-talented Swiss DJ and producer making her Maloca Records debut.

The 7-piece opens up a space for reflection on raw emotions and identity, making the most of the traits of sonic experimentation that mark NVST's sound. The LP is a slow-burning-lucid-dream into a searing transformation: an obscure fire that consumes but illuminates, transforms while discovering itself.

Samples and vocal manipulations become instruments of narration, weaving fragments of memories and feelings into a sound texture that feels both personal and collective.

NVST distills the chaos of transformation into rich, layered soundscapes: ethereal, echo-laden vocals - often manipulated through pedals and embedded in haunting dialogues - clothe the compositions with an otherworldly texture. An echo that responds to itself in an intimate dialogue.
The impulsive, distorted and spatialised bass pulses beneath each track, creating a constant tension between breathlessness and breathing, becoming a feature that crosses genres.

Frantic drum machines, samples and sharp glitches move unfiltered, creating a dynamic that reflects the emotional complexity of the album.

The first single 'Sucker' from Beau Mahadev's debut 12" record 'Subterra' out 31st October on INDEX:Records 

@beaumahadev

https://indexrecords.bandcamp.com/album/subterra

"INDEX:Records is enamoured to present the accomplished debut record by New York City resident, Beau Mahadev – 8-parts of dreamy vocals and wet-textured IDM-pop.

To some extent, this album arriving at INDEX:Records has been over 3 years in the making: we were first introduced to Beau’s work at GLOB in Denver (during our USA tour in 2023), at an event hosted by a dear friend, filled with lovely peeps. We were totally blown away by Beau’s performance and knew within a few minutes of their set starting that we wanted to release an album with them someday. Now, here it is: Subterra. Featuring tasty collaborations with {iii}, Uza A'amo and Yau Hei ASJ.

Vinyl limited to 200 copies. Front sleeve by Chiu. Design by Conna Haraway."

Beau Mahadev – Sucker [INDEX:020]

аметист / amethyst

"Silk & Synth" is an instrumental expedition mapping the geography of the soul. Hant Studio weaves together the organic warmth of traditional instruments—Handpans, Tablas, and Qanuns—with the cold, hypnotic precision of digital processing and deep sub-bass.

The Journey: The album is structured as a circadian loop, guiding the listener through four distinct states of consciousness:

☀️ The Flow (Day): Vibrant Indian fusion and organic house rhythms to awaken the mind.

im The Mirage (Twilight): Granular textures and warping realities as the sun sets.

🌑 The Void (Night): Dark Arabic ambient and ritualistic drones for deep introspection.

✨ The Return (Dawn): Epic orchestral fusion and crystal chimes signaling a new beginning.

Functional Use: Recorded at a heartbeat tempo (60-75 BPM), this album is an ideal companion for Deep Work, Yoga Flow, Meditation, or introspective travel.

In the old city of Lakamha ancient tombs stand tall and ruined, woven with moss. Birds as old as time beat their wings over tropical forests; their cries bouncing off wet rock lassoed with carvings of Mayan symbols.
