// LIMINAL REALITY is the space between where we were and where we can grow to be // You are not lost, you are only in transition // This is the space where we can focus on self aware-ness, address what we have and lack, and make moves to build a stronger foundation for our future //

// BECOMING IS BEING // WHICH PATH WILL YOU CHOOSE? // 

// In honor of Pride Month, a portion of the proceeds from this release will go to The Trevor Project to support mental health in the LGBTQ+ community //

Breaking through one's individual mold is a hallmark of evolutionary artistry, with the progression of musical knowledge and execution mirroring the progression of a composition. Time and again, Smigonaut has gone to ground in order to synthesize newfound skills with tried and proven fundamentals, showcasing a creative palette that is in constant flux. After taking the time to sharpen every edge and polish every texture, he's finally pulling back the veil on his largest collection of work to date, the Antithesis LP.

The Smigonaut catalog is first and foremost marked by its bevy of tones and styles, with few aural stones left unturned and unexplored. Consequently, Antithesis is a 12-track dive into every stylistic choice under the Smigonaut purview, running from Neuro-hop to breakbeat, drumstep to drum'n'bass, even going so far as to touch on the steady-beat end of the rhythmic spectrum. Each song is both a contained arrangement and an individual piece of the larger puzzle, pushing high-fidelity sound design and crisp engineering to the upper limit while maintaining the powerful songwriting that separates Smigonaut from the contemporary pack. For fans of virtually every flavor under the glitch-out sun, Antithesis is sure to be an instant add to any discerning audiophile's listening rotation.

The Oxidized compilation series is a charity project we have been working on since the inception of The Rust Music, with Oxidized, Vol. 1 being our very first label release in February 2017. At the end of each year we select a new charity, aid organization, or non-profit, to which all proceeds from the series are donated. In the past we have donated to organizations focusing on natural disaster aid, environmental restoration and preservation, as well as civil/human rights advocates and COVID-19 relief efforts on local, national, and international levels. 2022 proceeds from the Oxidized series will be donated to support women’s rights to healthcare and access to abortion, with this year’s donation to be determined towards the end of 2023.

Across the last 6 years, we've recurrently tapped into a network of both our roster talent and our close associates across the experimental electronic music spectrum to craft our first two Oxidized compilations. Now, for the final entry in the Oxidized Trilogy, we've brought together 32 producers, songwriters, and musicians from the US, the UK, Germany and Georgia to craft 28 tracks that cross through a medley of motifs in Hip-Hop, Drum & Bass, Downtempo, and more. Please relax and enjoy this curated selection of moods and attitudes, courtesy of The Rust Music and our extended kinfolk.

A HOLE IN THE FOURTH WALL

Esseks - Tunnels Feat. Wax Future [Noiseporn Premiere]

FOLLOW >>> @malakaimusic, https://soundcloud.com/smigonaut

The word "milieux" captures the essence of a created atmosphere; the particular feeling of a thing or place. Brooklyn-based producer MALAKAI dons his newest EP with this name, encompassing an innovative and new wave ambiance unique to this musical opus. This four-track collection leads with its undeniable hip-hop and trip-hop influences, highlighted by globally-influenced sounds from various string instruments, drums, and chimes. From the headphone beat track "Appa" to the heavy-hitting "What's Matter," the variety on this EP—featuring collaborations with Smigonaut and 5AM—cements Malakai's undeniable presence in this ever-growing sound movement.

With sharper edges, elevated sound design and a new posse of collaborators, MALAKAI comes correct on his fourth EP, Odd Views. It’s been more than two years since the New York City-based producer first released with The Rust, but in some ways it feels like a lifetime ago.

On these four tracks it’s plain to hear that MALAKAI’s sound design and songwriting have improved and his intent has sharpened. The sonic material itself isn’t revolutionary, but the subtle ways he moves and shapes the sounds gives attitude to the songs. Strong as ever is MALAKAI’s ability to communicate a feeling with melody, harmony, and note choice. Only now, the feelings are different. He’s deviated ever so slightly from his usual earthy, acoustic, mystical motifs. The void that remains is filled with something grittier, more urban, more direct.

His friends have changed, too, It’s reflected in the posture of this EP, which features Thought Process, pheel., and cuts from Bogtrotter. These producers, who are heavily influenced by hip-hop, deliver great bounce and buoyancy on their features. It’s still MALAKAI’s signature sound - grazing along, moving forward with swing and without haste. Not quite glitch hop, not quite dub, not quite hip-hop, but a home brew with all these ingredients. The edges are again sharper, the movements more crisp. There’s less to think about and more to groove on.

Stream & DL: orenda.fanlink.to/reverie

Coming off the success of his previous singles released on the Gravitas Infusion series, Orenda returns to Gravitas Recordings to make his full EP debut with Reverie. For his first time working on a musical project of this magnitude, Trevor wanted to contribute to the emerging world bass scene. Reverie is inspired by the marriage of ethereal musical elements with aggressive, powerful bass. Representing a battle between light and darkness, which combat overhead a fusion of world music influences, all seven tracks present the stark contrast on both sides.

Listeners are transported to a majestic land in the title track “Reverie,” hastily greeted by an enchantress who observes the battle as light and darkness collide into a powerful bass. Produced alongside Equanimous, tribal chants are consistently relayed in "Mystic Descent" to accompany the beautiful soundscape and chill oscillations that follow. Cackles precede deep dub in “Numinus” as darkness strategizes its plan of attack. On the other side, the light warriors prepare for the next battle within a dark cave, while mystical currents flow through the water to provide strength in “Marmoris.” Glitch and dub unify in “Fracture,” lamenting on the ruptured state of the land. “You Know” is the calm before the storm, as a vibey bass prepares each side for its last chance at triumph. Featuring DTO, “Gāyatrī” concludes Orenda’s debut EP as each side embarks on an ethnic expedition towards the battlegrounds.
