Deep, trippy and hypnotic. That pretty much sums up the new Nacreous-EP by Shoal on the Dutch imprint NOWHERE. The title refers to a certain glow or color that mother-of-pearl radiates. Shoal is the alter ego of Utrecht-resident Kenny Dean Kneefel. When you have a name that sounds like a famous stuntman, you are probably prepared to take more risks.

And indeed that's exactly what this producer from the lowlands does on Nacreous. Shoal's four track EP combines hallucinant grooves with delicate sound design. Like on Bygone Drums, where ominous distant sounds from a nearby factory creep between the shadows. The same can be said of the title track, a tribalistic tune with a delicate dark undertone.

Never Endings is more uplifting, with its dubbed out basslines and crispy hi-hats. Dubtechno that reminds us of both Monolake and Fluxion. Closing track Morning Float is indeed that, a trip in a blue tank filled with warm water, where you are comforted by beautiful strings and sounds of nature.

Sindh is back on his own imprint and introduce the 'Komudo Series' focuses on mind and body movement. Still infused into tribalism and rituals, this first opus composed by four original tracks merges subttle darkness and evolving alien textures with strong grooves. 'Akureh' kicks off its menacing low ends and warped bass that never lets up, 'Quake' suspends you amongst fluttering snares and drawn out whistles over linear beats and 'Liquefaction then gets more gritty with dirty loops and plenty of tension before 'Swarms' shuts down with a more thumping deep techno sound.

Cocoo - Ide (2024 Remix)

Following his stellar debut on Hydrozoa last year, Japanese studio wizard Hiroyuki Arakawa makes a powerful return to the label with a two-track EP that explores the darker depths of his profound sonic identity.
The journey begins with "North Pole," an immersive and high-octane cut designed for peak-time dancefloors. It weaves together a driving rhythm with a soaring '90s-inspired synth line, building a powerful and hypnotic narrative that culminates in a truly climactic moment.
On the flip side, "Lost Memory" takes a different turn. This is a chuggy, relentless techno track anchored by a heavy bass drum. Laced with intricate percussive details and a searing acid stab, it methodically works its way to a thunderous peak, perfect for those late-night sessions.
Hiroyuki Arakawa delivers another masterclass in production, showcasing his signature blend of emotional and energetic Techno.
