for the next release on galaxiid, we present "carpet watcher", the long-awaited second album from ishome, the project of russian producer and visual artist mirabella karyanova. 

emerging from the far eastern port city of nakhodka, ishome's music has always carried a sense of distance and introspection. her debut album confession (2013) became a cult classic, a fragile, cinematic blend of ambient textures, submerged rhythms and quiet emotion. 

carpet watcher was completed in 2018 but remained unreleased until now. like much of ishome’s work, it was created with no urgency to be heard, a self-contained world suspended in time. drifting between viscous beats and spectral melodies, the album feels like a memory slowly coming into focus. 

from her earliest recordings, mirabella has resisted genre classification. her sound draws from minimal techno, ambient, leftfield pop, outsider art, and the surrealism of soviet-era animation. in her hands, these influences dissolve into something deeply personal, a language of mood and movement rather than style. 

beyond the studio, ishome has performed live across europe and russia, including sets at berghain and signal festival, as well as appearances on boiler room and nts. she also creates under the mischievous alias shadowax, where playful chaos replaces introspection. her audiovisual performances, combining original music, iphone-shot footage, digital collage and hand-drawn animation, reveal the full breadth of her artistic vision. dreamlike, humorous and emotionally direct. 

ishome rarely releases her music, and when she does, it feels less like a project and more like a postcard from a world she’s still wandering through. carpet watcher is the first glimpse into that world in over ten years.

Room 506 (aka Ancient Methods) - Red Embers

A year on from Luigi Tozzi and label head Dino Sabatini’s collaborative Manticora EP Outis return with a striking, singular solo work from Tozzi. Ecate EP sees the Roman producer bringing three distinct slices of techno, each with its own set of subtleties and the crystal, adept sound design that defines Tozzi’s work. Spanning the A-side is Ecate. This title track is rolling and hypnotic with muscular, percussive bass. Throughout the track, angelic chords come and go, washing the listener in euphoria. Alongside, we hear a disorienting melody, grounded by the lightly swung four to the floor kick that gives this track an infectious groove. The flip opens with Leto, which immediately defines itself as a club trackwith an unbroken but evolving set of percussion and a weighty kick. It’s around this kick that other elements build. We hear long, ringing, resonant string sounds and a bell like melody morph and unfold as other percussive components come and go. The track falls away into atmospheric eeriness, which perfectly sets the stage for the EP’s finale. Esperede’s swung, panning drums give it a disorienting feeling of otherworldliness from the get go. This is before you’re greeted by an alien, slightly dubbed out melody and a hanting backing drone that feels like a reference (perhaps in opposition) to the angelic chords of the EP’s first track. It’s on this closing track that Tozzi’s delicate, expert sound design best shines through.

Premiere #131

Artist: Die Wilde Jagd
Title: Morgenrot (Ancient Methods Remix)
Album: 'Morgenrot Remixes' EP
Label: Minimood
Format: Vinyl 12'
Release: Dec 06th, 2019
Pre order: bit.ly/2YlsQ1E

Written and recorded by Sebastian Lee Philipp with his Uhrwald Orange studio collaborator Ralf Beck, ’Morgenrot’ originally appeared on Die Wilde Jagd's debut album in 2015. For this release, Philipp and Beck re-visited the song: the ensuing ‘Fangschuss Version' enjoys an augmented arrangement, additional instrumentation and a haunting guest vocal by New- Zealand based singer Nina Siegler. In Philipp’s words, the 'Fangschuss Version' constitutes “a venture to capture the spirit that has been guiding this fusion release - a desire to explore the concepts of friendship, time, distance and memory. An attempt to unveil fragments of the unseen and to reveal the surge of a distant remembrance in an embracive listening experience.

Ancient Methods showcase an epic masterpiece of enchanting medieval-vibed techno.
