EOD001 - VA - Elementa Obscura Vol. 01 (Snippets)

Florian Kupfer’s Unmasked EP delves into the essence of the human condition, using the spider as a central symbol that encapsulates the duality of creation and destruction, as well as patience and control. Just as the spider weaves its web with precision and purpose, each track on the EP describes an introspective process that guides the listener to explore the depths of their own being.

The web, with its delicately intertwined threads, symbolizes the complex emotional and psychological connections that unfold as the musical journey progresses. Each track reflects the tensions between light and shadow, between the hidden and the revealed, capturing the process of unraveling our own layers to face the truth within.

PREMIERE⚡️AJO - Dream Catcher [Electric Shapes]

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-duanna-harbour

Emerging from the liminal haze of future nostalgia, American producer and vocalist Duanna unveils 'Lona' - a 5-track release where ambient, downtempo and avant-pop collide into a dewy-eyed dream...Our pick is the opening track, 'Harbor' - a weightless plunge into liquid serenity, where spectral melodies ebb and flow like bioluminescent signals lost at sea. Bubbles rise through the mix, while distant echoes of whale-song-like synths form a womb-like cocoon, pulsating with quiet intensity. It’s a delicate meditation on solitude and movement, an invitation to drift along ever-shifting currents, where the line between dream and waking life dissolves in the tide.

Duanna - Harbor [Self-released]

NYC’s underground producer Sweater On Polo back on the machines for the first release on Signal Route. “Mechanical Confusion” favors the techno and basement house approach of early 90’s Chicago innovators found on labels such as Dance Mania, Relief Records, and Saber Records. His style and approach carry a familiar old school angst, creating an intergenerational dialogue between the now and then. Going from acid house, to techno, and then synth punk, this 6 track EP captures the relentless range of the young artist.

Mechanical Confusion

Mechanical Confusion EP *Previews* | SGNL-01 March 20th, 2025

The second EP from label bosses djfix & jek delivers seven dancefloor-ready tracks, fusing hazy percussion, twisted synthesis, and ethereal, granulated vocal chops into a deep, rolling journey through sounds made for an outdoor system. An homage to early West Coast breaks—desert style—reimagined through the Earth Dog sound.
On remix duties, we’ve tapped two favs: Human Space Machine & Blu:sh. HSM twists the source material into head-spinning hypnosis, while Bl:ush crafts a shadowy, driving, percussive trip built for the early morning heads.
