Taken from SBKT064: sideproject - sourcepond
Release date: 30th May 2024

Following up from work on Björk´s 'Fossora', Icelandic trio 'sideproject' debut on SVBKVLT with their new full-length album 'sourcepond'. Taking influence from the fog-covered wetlands of their native island, sideproject transfigure influences from the low-end frequencies of grime and bass music, and reshape it into a haze of transient-smeared beats accompanied by breathy synths that grow ever wetter till they slip beneath the surface tensions of their harmonic stratum. Compared to previous output, 'sourcepond' opts for a more concise approach to their music, stacking up their influences of experimental electronic, Icelandic punk and contemporary club music, and builds a sound that oscillates between melodic hooks and experimental rhythms. Each track carves through the sensuous material, pulling the listener into the dank sourcepond as though magnetic forces were guiding a bird's beak towards misty horizons.

Taken from SBKT066: Prettybwoy - Tokyo Ice Age
Release date: 5th February 2025

Our first release for 2025 is ‘Tokyo Ice Age’, a new EP from Prettybwoy. 5 warped club tracks, packaged with remixes from aya and Proc Fiskal, artwork by Downstate and mastered by Raphael Valensi.

‘An ice age is a cycle of roughly 100,000 years that Earth has been undergoing for at least the past million years. I’ve been reflecting on these cycles and the way life resets or disappears over time. When my grandmother passed away, I found old photographs and handwritten documents—faded pieces of history that offered me a brief glimpse into my family’s past. Ways of living, even since my own birth, are changing rapidly, and many things are being lost or disappearing forever.

The term "Ice Age" also refers to Japan’s Employment Ice Age, a period between the mid-90s and early 2000s, following the collapse of the country's 'Bubble Economy.' During this time, many young graduates and displaced workers struggled to find stable employment. The generation impacted by this era, known as the "Lost Decades," is often referred to as the ‘Lost Generation’ or ‘Ice Age Generation.’ I belong to this generation.’

Much Unseen Is Also Here

Behold a Voice as Thunder

Concrete

Not a point on a map — a pulse of the past,
a place where a volcano dreams fire-memories,
and the water reflects not the sky,
but a dream of the sky.

A solitary figure stands at the lake’s edge.
Its reflection lags behind,
as if past and present
have fallen out of phase.

Everything halts —
leaving only echo,
and the shadow of a motion that never happened.

A transmitter of signals from beyond memory,
his work is evocation.

Music featured in:
AAA games, global trailers, gallery works, and wild open spaces —
where even birds stop to listen.

Selected works:
Mene Tekel Upharsin · Chrysolux · The Wheel Remains · Voces Exilii · EXUVIA · Signal from Isidis · Somnolith 

Every release: a ritual, a mutation, a sonic exorcism.

Tools of choice: SOMA, Instruō, Elektron, Teenage Engineering, and custom modular audio relics.

You don’t hear Tokhtash with your ears —
you hear him with your scars.
