Unified Method - Hedonic Adaptation [Brutal Forms] (2025)

Apathy

Vertical cut

Optimized for failure

The Ascent

Social withdrawal

For the sixth session of the Schallkraft series, we present Substencia, French producer, DJ and live act, classically trained in piano and cello. Since her first productions ten years ago, she has been crafting a visceral sound, driven by raw emotion and crossed influences: cinematic atmospheres, destructive rhythms and a constant dramatic tension across several EPs, remixes, and compilations. She explores the murky zones between dark beauty and organized chaos, without ever giving in to trends. With her duo Kabocha (alongside Pole Ka), she pushes even further the contours of tragic post-rave and haunted noise through inhabited, radical performances. In 2025, she unveils her debut album on the US label Venaeform: a dense, introspective piece plunging deep into the depths of melancholia.

For our next physical release, FERMA welcomes back home one of the individuals running the project, Romphea.

As a co-founder, he has long shaped the label’s uncompromising DIY ethos—placing experimentation, raw energy, and community at the heart of its vision. After releasing in a series of acclaimed platforms, the forward-thinking DJ and producer from Vyronas, Athens returns to vinyl with a genre-defying release. Building on the experimental pulse and reshaping the edge between electro, breaks and techno, Romphea continues that trajectory, weaving together tense polyrhythms, warped melodic fragments, and cavernous spaces.

This release features four, plus three digital bonus original tracks, aiming to provide a clear sound identity for the artist. The A-side opens with “Calls from Salem”, a dystopian slow burner that sets the tone with broken-beat percussion and dissonant synth stabs. “Steel Chair” surges forward with unrelenting force, propelled by serrated arpeggios and a barrage of fragmented vocals that rise and fall within the space, crafted for peak-time eruption.

Flipping to the B-side, “Paid Dividends” reaches full intensity, layering hammering kicks and percussion, while the low end rumbles with tectonic weight, amplifying the energy to fever pitch. Closing the record on a more contemplative note, “We Are The Universe” slows the pace, easing the tension and drifting into deeper territory. Echoing chords drift into space, layered with fragile percussive details and low, throbbing pulses. It’s a meditation on collapse and renewal, offering a moment of breath after the storm.

Extending beyond the physical record, this release comes with three extra digital exclusives. "Moonlighting" is another dancefloor stomper, capturing the tension and guiding dancers into a space where time dissolves, while in "Keygen Music", the rhythm remains grounded, but it is softened by melodic fragments that swirl in and out like fleeting memories. The release closes with "The 286 Theory" as a fierce statement: a four-to-the-floor cut, with layers of percussion that drive the groove forward, bringing the record full circle.

Straight from the source, defying the norms, devoted to the art. Do not sleep.

Tracklist:

A1. Calls From Salem
A2. Steel Chair
B1. Paid Dividends
B2. We Are The Universe
BONUS001. Moonlighting
BONUS002. Keygen Music
BONUS003. The 286 Theory

Agressive(s) Cityscapes : Athens w/ padaczka

Five years deep. A lot has shifted around us, but our drive to carve out space in the scene has stayed solid. When we kicked off FERMA, none of us imagined it would grow the way it did.

But here we are - 22 releases in, 5 of them physical, 10+ label nights, and collaborations with 40+ artists who share the same ethics, grit and aesthetics. It's been a roller-coaster of emotions and somehow it feels like the best parts are still ahead of us.

To mark our 5 years, we’re dropping a special anniversary compilation: 21 tracks from friends, allies, and artists who’ve been part of the journey. Expect a diverse, genre-blending release with tracks to cover various dancefloor occasions.

Celebrations peak on Saturday 27 December, where we take over our beloved Astron, together with two of our most respected artists: STENNY & NVST. A proper ceremony for the heads who’ve been with us – don’t sleep on this one.

As we shape the next chapter of FERMA, we want to salute everyone who has supported us, pushed us, challenged us, or simply believed in what we’re trying to build. You know who you are.

Special shoutouts:
•	ANFS - for mastering our sound since day 1
•	Emarty, Greta Haga & Dimitris Evagelou - for bringing our visuals to life and surviving our occasional nonsense asks
•	Giannis Kranas - for the constant support in everything we do
Here’s to the next 5 years - See you on December 27.
