Following an incredibly well-received rework of Xtasis by Jeph Vanger for inklingroom's first release, not to mention finding support from Hyperdub stalwart Loraine James, the hugely immersive and kaleidoscopic Argento EP serves as Yraki's debut record proper.

‘Argento’ is a complex exercise in modern club music aesthetics and a contemporary hybrid of experimental sound design. As described by the artist himself: ‘I would like to produce music that is ‘genre-fluid’, and balance between many styles that influenced me as an artist. Whether it’s a contemporary take on instrumental grime, deconstructed techno, and bass, or the immersive world of experimental sound design.’

Yraki is the new avant-garde creation born of London-based artist Mariano Sibilia. Its existence is the manifestation of the inner workings of Sibilia’s mind interacting with the sensations of the outer world propelled into form via his extraordinary synaesthesia phenomenon. As an external expression, from an electronic world detached from the rules and strictures of human life, Yraki’s existence is a conduit for pure creativity.

Yraki - Zenith

ZZEN é o meu EP debut. Está composto por 3 tracks que constitúen o camiño paralelo ao ZEN. O Universo en desencanto, a procura da continuidade e da sorte a través de ritmos rotos, de samples enerxéticos e de melodías que emerxen dalgún lugar.

Calella, Cafurna e ZBreak son 3 momentos, 3 pílulas para a escoita e o club. Foi producido xunto a Juait no inverno compostelán de 2022.


ZZEN is my debut EP. It is composed of 3 tracks that make up the path parallel to the ZEN. The Universe in disenchantment, the search for continuity and luck through broken rhythms, energetic samples and melodies that emerge from somewhere.

Calella, Cafurna and ZBreak are 3 moments, 3 pills for listening and the club. It was produced with Juait in the compostelan winter of 2022.

Based in Buenos Aires, Cimarrón is a producer and sound artist who creates hyper-contemporary, genre-fluid compositions that blur the boundaries between experimental club music and Latin rhythms. His debut EP Sin Cara, Sin Nombre [NODO label] narrated a liberating process of profound inner change through heartbreaking yet euphoric club beats.

His second project, Rubí/Zafíro, is in a sense a continuation of Sin Cara, Sin Nombre. Here, Cimarrón delves deeper into a club-focused sound, offering stomping drums over harsh euphoric synth leads, without compromising his experimental approach to sound design or his Latino influence. Yet in another sense, it is a great departure. In contrast to the at times gloomy mood of his debut, this new EP celebrates the bliss of expressing oneself, in a cheerful and exciting way.

Mathis Ruffing’s Transatlantic debut cuts to the chase. This is getaway music, music designed to vaporise your long-dormant adrenal glands. ‘Skybox’ is made up of tracks that surge like quicksilver through veins, pulsing, flexing, relentlessly disciplined in execution. These tunes are crystalline and shimmering, eight sleek and streamlined club constructs rendered with what feels like the precision-engineering of some advanced alien DAW.

Opener ‘Ultranova’ hits like a cyborgian headbutt and refuses to let up. It’s followed by the one-two punch of the title track and ‘Hitherto’, which install cooling, gaseous pads and synths within breakneck drum&bassian exoskeletons. ‘Crater Edge’ and closer ‘Raytraced’ offer cryochamberesque respite from the cold-blooded fury enclosed within this release — well-earned breathing room in an album that takes hold with crisp and calculated force. Pure focus.

Mathis Ruffing - 'Ultranova'

@transatlanticrecords inductee @mruffing goes straight for the jugular with hi-pressure, cybernetic rufige.

Terraforming a shimmering microcosm of off-planet rave ordnance, the Infinite Drift co-founder opts for detail and propulsion. ‘Skybox’ runs a precision-tooled, crystalline take on the ever-evolving hardcore continuum.

Pairing dizzying hyper-pointillism and surging, cross-genre flex, our premiere, ‘Exoteric’, descends into maximalist, relentless onslaught. 

'Skybox' is out December 16th on Transatlantic.

We stand for inclusivity and diversity in every direction, but are aware that we do not represent this yet. It is an important matter to us, since so much of the music and culture we love was build by marginalized communities. We want to use our platform to be a reflection of these values and evolve towards a more inclusive future.

We are working on this by being actively on the lookout for emerging talents and would hereby like to encourage artists from LGBTQI+ and POC communities to get in touch with us, whether that may be for sending demos for a release, being represented by our agency or any other potential creative cooperation.
