Galtier makes his second return to his own label with a 5-track offering of off-kilter, obscure electronic madness aptly titled 'Imitation Plantae'. Inspired by the idea of man-made imitations attempting to capture the essence of natural beauty. Galtier's take on this very concept manifests itself through the ever-present sense of unease that is evident across all five tracks. The melodies drift in and out of tune, ever so slightly, ultimately sounding pleasing but always fleeting in their general aura of pleasantness.

A showcase of Galtier's breadth of confidence across a huge span of BPMs and rhythmic influences that is showcased on his sophomore NHS release, reflecting the sense of uncertainty conveyed through the Intentionally awry mood throughout.

‘Half-Dead Orchid Still Breathing’ is a stripped back thudding piece designed for a futuristic cyber-Zaibatsu Police chase scene. Dense 808 subs thunder with spacious yet present tom drums as hollow synthetic sounds reverberate in between. It carries low end weight and steps with an almighty poly-rhythmic flow.

We are pleased to welcome back syntrovert, a producer hailing from Valparaíso, Chile, with the full release of their EP Pathfinder. After debuting on Terminal with the single Hope Recover, this new 4-track work delves even deeper into the creative process, capturing each stage from the initial spark to the challenges and external influences that shape the final result.

The opening track, Hope Recover, sets the tone for the EP, blending tribal house, club, and bass with subtle harmonies and expansive atmospheres inspired by colour bass and trance. Anchored by a melodic piano, the piece navigates through the phases of creative thought, tracing the ebb and flow of ideas within a sonic fantasy.

The EP follows this path, with each track connecting through a shared collection of samples, offering a cohesive sonic landscape that reflects both the artist's life and the evolution of the music itself. Pathfinder moves between the abstract and the visceral, serving as a meditation on the impact of trends within the global music community. Throughout the EP, a subaquatic fantasy unfolds: vibrant ecosystems emerging from the depths, teetering on the edge of the abyss, offering an immersive and expansive sonic experience.

The journey doesn’t end here: Pathfinder expands with key remixes that add new layers to the original work. Fellow Valparaíso producer paltamango delivers a remix that deepens the bass and percussive elements. Sarah Farina brings her RainbowBass vision into futuristic realms, while Peder Mannerfelt twists the track into more physical, industrial territory, deconstructing techno’s structures with his unmistakable angular approach, creating something both cerebral and visceral.

Pathfinder is a statement of intent, an EP that invites you to dive into a universe where musical creation and imagination meet on the edge of the unknown.
