ISLA33 - “Somaesthesia” is for the body, for how the body feels and how the body communicates with its soul. It was written through a year of growth and sickness, which stimmed inflection to a body at rest, a body aroused, a body communicating needs, a body happy, a homeostatic body, a friend body.

“Somaesthesia” is for the body, for how the body feels and how the body communicates with its soul. It was written through a year of growth and sickness, which stimmed inflection to a body at rest, a body aroused, a body communicating needs, a body happy, a homeostatic body, a friend body.

These four songs drift through different dimensions of somatic sensation. Deep corporal sensuality, spectrums of control of self, identity, and their relation to others, plateau, release, extra sensorial touch, extraterrestrial encounter, novelty, experiment, finding self where you thought you stood alone, finding self
in bass, basing self in body. 

Do not disembody, hold closeness to body, trust body, body as a litmus, body as a truth, truth as unmovable, unmovable as grounded, rooted, dense body, flesh body, REAL body, this is your body, feel your body feel.

pi pi pi premiere: PVAS - Dream Resumption Feat. PS (ISLA)

We’re thrilled to announce NAFF017, “To / Deep”, by Chicago trio Purelink 

“To / Deep” comprises four tracks, two of which –Maintain the Bliss and Head On A Swivel– were previously released as a digital-only EP in 2021. 

Here, Purelink return to form with an updated sound, adding crystalline angularity and dialed precision to their warm, enveloping style.  

Blissed break abstractions flutter and gasp like shifting light
through variegated glass. Rhythms arise within rhythms,
the breath resounds throughout.

“To / Deep” carries the uncanny feeling that home has changed, or that home is change.

Comic Sans Compilation 2

pi pi pi premiere: Cortex of Light - Future Curvature (Comic Sans Records)

Total Annihilation Beach is the latest collection from Caveman LSD, one of the handful of monikers of Special Guest DJ / uon / sometimes just shy. Their releases under this name have always had the character of sonic transmissions – crushed sine-waves hurtling out of a wormhole, remote pirate radio bandwidths, whale-song picked up on radar, and so on. Here, the signal seems to come from a place whose remoteness is not defined by distance, but adjacency: these are alternate reality bops.

ISLA29 - Caveman LSD - Total Annihilation Beach (Previews)

@plebeiann returns to the Eternal Ocean, continuing his exploration of psycho-cerebral realms with a collection of six sonic spells titled “Graffiti World”

“Splashes of color accent immersive and introspective environments full of unexpected aural organisms and secret passageways. Playful rhythms bounce off of one another, discreetly stuttering and slithering between carefully considered spectral and pointillistic textures. An enveloping bass weight massages the listener, providing the foundation to an alien world full of unknown life. The landscape is shrouded in a mist of psychedelic fog, which clears in brief moments revealing shimmering and resplendent views that defy language. Coming down from the heights, we are taken back into the depths of this new terrain, grappling with how to describe what was experienced. Words do little justice here – my advice is to close your eyes, focus on your breath and allow it to happen. It won’t last forever: be as present as you can.”

To celebrate Grid 2nd anniversary, we gathered together thirteen earth-shattering tracks from the bass scene’s most promising creators, all aimed to move you in the most primordial way. Evoking images of vast landscapes and deep underground catacombs.

This compilation takes the listener deep into the earth with twisted percussion workouts from the likes of Jabes, Piezo, Ronan and Sister Zo… and back into the light with serene compositions from E-unity, Tammo Hesselink and A Psychic Yes, whilst Jay Duncan, Basile3 y Clara!, Jonny From Space, Flaty, Seekersinternational, and blu-e join the dots with their genre-defying creations.

As was the case with Grid’s previous compilations 'Improvisations' and 'Da Capo Al Coda', the label once again puts its stamp on a moment in the underground by collecting together productions of the highest quality that push the boundaries but undeniably make you want to move.

V/A - Sans Relâche [GRID011] previews

INDEX:Records is blessed to announce the homecoming of Ike. It’s been a wee while since his last full club outing, but we welcome him back to this realm with open-arms.

Lacing up with chuggy system-rattler 'Vernis VIP', Pulsar is a symbiosis of palpitating-wub and delicate, soft melody. On 'Rose Quartz', perfectly sedated drums are melded with luscious vox – a gratifying release to bass-driven tension-builder, 'Gage'. Mushing a cherry immaculately on top is a Mathis Ruffing indulgence ('Gage Remix'), who treats us to a frenzied yet controlled excursion into DnB hedonism.

Limited edition 12" vinyl of 150 copies, with full colour centre label artwork, white inners and pink outer sleeve.

Tracklist:

A1. Vernis VIP
A2. Gage
B1. Rose Quartz
B2. Gage (Mathis Ruffing Remix)

Pulsar

Ike - Pulsar (previews) [INDEX:013]

incredibly honored to have been invited to contribute a piece of music for the new @companionmelb compilation.

this one is called ‘metanoia’ which essentially means the change in one’s life after a profound mystical experience. my intention with the music is for those moments of depth where your heart and mind have been opened and you feel raw and vulnerable and the music is just holding you there, reassuring that you’re experience is valid and you are seen by the universe, by the earth and by your fellow humans.

thanks to @pjenne and @milluu for including me in this amazing body of work and to all the other artists involved.

bless,
-r
