The core of 'A Cracked System' resonates from the urgent need of change and immediate self-care. “It's an EP with ups and downs, surprises and different states of feelings, all wrapped into soundscapes,” says Berlin producer and audio-visual artist Max Dahlhaus about his new EP, which takes a different sonic paths than previous releases 'Short Morrow' (Infinite Machine, 2021) 'Be A Glitch' (Hyperboloid Records, 2021) or 'Glacier' (self-released, 2022) and which was also heavily influenced by the series of lockdowns.

MAX DAHLHAUS - STYMIED CYCLE (T5UMUT5UMU REMIX)

@nozagam is a solo project by French experimental-club producer Etienne Zastko who takes a bleak view of a destructive Anthropocene Epoch, in which “utopias can’t exist and we’ve lost our way in our blind devotion to technology”. The album pieces together a chronology of catastrophic events. A fictionalized soundtrack to humankind’s end-cycle. The abrasive textures and suffocating atmosphere immerse us into a total universe where everything that could have gone wrong has. Affirmations and tech bro optimism didn’t quite cut it. And if those disembodied voices that sporadically reach out are the survivors, that’s not good news.

The visual aesthetic of Zagam is one of fusion, a medieval plague doctor mask with a 23rd-century twist. “Anthropocene” mines a similarly disparate set of influences, spanning an evermore hybridized clubspace. Gqom, grime, industrial techno, footwork: everything is fair game. The rich musical background and hard sonic palette of Zagam make for a perfect match for the hybrid electronics approach of Unizone.

Flashing Horizons is the new mix series by snufkin (@dj-snufkin), hosted by Stegi Radio Athens. The alter ego snufkin was created by artist, curator and self-proclaimed ‘organiser’, Pim Sem Benjamin. As driving force behind the platform Valley, curator for Sonic Acts and Audio Visual Arts BA, his relation to sound is a profound one. For every edition snufkin will invite an artist that has served them as an inspiration to share the 60 minute slot with. Expect a wide range of musical selections, unconventional stylings and insanely talented guest artists. Stay tuned!

For the second edition snufkin teams up with Kablam (@ka-blam), delivering a healthy dose of dancefloor confusion, everything-core and fuck you mixing.

Əverything(?) Not Yet - SATA invite Rama (Avril 2024)

Something special for you. 𝘈𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘳 is the beautiful and ultrachaotic first single from @atheropendoor's upcoming release 𝙀𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙮 𝙀𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙚𝙨. Uplifting trance synths mashed with glitching noise and manic keys. It's uncategorisably great.

At Her Open Door is an experimental music project started in 2007 by Japanese artist Taiki Kobayashi. He has previously released the album FLIR on CHINABOT and the EP Demon Stinger on formforum, and has participated in compilations for Magdalena's Apathy and Subsist Records.

🌿 ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ꜱᴏɴɪᴄ ᴀɢᴇɴᴄʏ

Spurred on by the acuteness of current global events, we are raising our voices in solidarity with the oppressed, the tortured, the silenced, and the unheard. While humanity is at stake, and our values are on trial, in moments of despair, rage and endless grief, acts of solidarity are needed more than ever. The events that shake Palestine and Israel are resulting in an ever-tighter spiral of violence and desperation. They are a horrific wake-up call that brutally brings the precarious situation on our planet to the fore. The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, and Israel’s collective punishment of Palestinian civilians are intolerable. On top of that, the military actions threaten the lives of the remaining hostages in the Gaza-Strip, and even more innocent people in Gaza.

…being together, in community

SONIC AGENCY - RAMA - "Untitled"

"Safeguarded, I'm Everything Beautiful" follows a tumultuous, dark yet rewarding journey into self-acceptance. Offering an introspective look into schizophrenia, the Portuguese musician Kmado combines, bends and breaks his musical roots and inspirations at will to convey an immersive and high-intensity experience.

Taking from witch house and shoegaze, navigating into hard dance and chiptune and borrowing flavors from emo and lofi, these genres, among many other sounds, all function as catharsis in some way throughout the album. From the introductory 2-part track "Someone Else Today" establishing the tone of the album through a brutal switch-up from a soft lofi guitar track into an explosive cathartic drop, to the emotionally-charged, anxiety-inducing gabber of "SP Superstar" onto the chaotic fusion of jungle, metal and hard dance of "Dream Weaver", and eventually ending on an eerily satisfying calmer note in "Infinite Light Beams All at Once", the record takes the listener onto Kmado's navigation of his headspace through more troubling mental episodes.

Approaching themes of medication, symptom masking, psychosis, suicidal tendencies, paranoia and dissociation, Kmado, through a healthy dose of distorted, auto-tuned vocals, recounts in retrospect some of his more troublesome times and experiences dealing with his mental illness, ending the record in a bittersweet tone of acceptance.
