A sliver of hope shines on the grey and bleak landscape of the post-apocalyptic world. Bastard Sugar, the lone wanderer in the wasteland, has spent a long time scavenging for the musical ingredients for his concoction. But here, among the fumes and ashes of past experiments, lies the result of his hardships. Our producer removes his gasmask, takes off his gloves, and tastes a pinch of his own creation. In the dull grayness of the world in tatters, he gives you a nasty but tasty beatsweetness right from his cave studio, which presents you with a welcome diversion from the ‘heard-one-heard-them-all’ music industry. Mellow ambient-like sounds merge with contagious rhythms, in tracks that maintain an addictive groove at all times. Let Bastard Sugar take you to another world with Aftersound, the like of which you’ve never heard before.

Bastard Sugar - The Cave Studio

Bastard Sugar - 3ms Intro

A sliver of hope shines on the grey and bleak landscape of the post-apocalyptic world. Bastard Sugar, the lone wanderer in the wasteland, has spent a long time scavenging for the musical ingredients for his concoction. But here, among the fumes and ashes of past experiments, lies the result of his hardships. Our producer removes his gasmask, takes off his gloves, and tastes a pinch of his own creation. In the dull grayness of the world in tatters, he gives you a nasty but tasty beatsweetness right from his cave studio, which presents you with a welcome diversion from the ‘heard-one-heard-them-all’ music industry.

Bastard Sugar - Maiden Valley

Bastard Sugar - Consumption

https://soundcloud.com/hypnotizedband

I’m swept away like molten chocolate in a blender. The rotation is dizzying, the silence overpowering. How did I get here? What is this place? I try to reach out, but the void is like treacle and I hardly seem to move. Mischievous arms spin their way like cloudy arms towards me. I wave them away. They wave back. How did I get here? How do I get out? I don’t even know out from in. From my vantage point it’s hard to tell. I narrow my eyes and peer at the beckoning distance, measuring unsuccessfully. A stones throw could be miles away. Where am I? And how far is far when you don’t know where you are? I call out, trying to pierce the calm, but unseen walls echo my words in a voice that isn’t mine. My shouts become whispers, while my mumbles turn into deafening roars. How did I end up here? Where was I before? I try to backtrack, but keep getting to where I’m going to be. My circle is vicious, but inverted. Realization dawns, like headlights suddenly coming over the hill. I’m in my chair, where I’ve always been. The void is filled and my senses make sense once more. The screen looks at me askance, posing me a question: Repeat Track? And then it all starts to ring a bell. Yes, oh yes.

Hypnotized - Daphne (Original Mix)

Henge - Swarm Trap
Release date: 28-04-2016

Feeling trapped within contemporary boundaries, Henge has dismayed from a certain stiffness in his ordinary ways of production. By flying to the edges of industrial Techno he has created a place of opposition, where straight rhythms are barely perceivable and haunting melodies made of broken sounds dictate. In this land a triangle of fear, paranoia and confusion rules. As music progresses this form attempts to evolve into a pyramid, it searches for its own peak, where it desperately hopes to find a demonish serenity. The danger of never reaching it's true evolution is real. Lips pointed upwards, it tries to find a way out. All other senses seem to be blocked, drowned in some sort of congested cloud of small beings. Trapped once again, it hopes to find rest for just once, but all that remains of his wishes is a vague realization that all is a polarization, forced outwards by a restless, abstract noise.

Henge - Swarm Trap

Henge - Ventilator

Nothing quite holy or unoriginal about Banal. Low-fi, groovy house-cuts from the young San Fransiscian. Took the east-coast catalogue and made it west-coast analogue. In L33thol and Circumvent you’ll find two hypnotizing, slow house jams. The surplus is for your angry haze needs, perfect for nasty basement floors. Comes with cutey Oso Feo expanding DruneDrune with a breathadding remix.
