For seven months Russia has been waging a disgusting war in Ukraine. Constantly, we learn new horrific truths about what the occupiers have done on the land, that they proclaim is theirs. We believe Ukraine will be free again and rightful judgement will be brought upon those, who hide their violent, genocidal intentions behind the mask of lies.

With our first compilation - ‘Soteria’ - we want to aid the fight for freedom, that is still ongoing. We at Xpone stand strongly in support of the Ukranian people and against the Russian terrorist regime. We don’t acknowledge the new territories annexed by the occupier, nor the old, and condemn the blatantly fake "referendums" that took place from 23-27 September 2022 on the territories of self-proclaimed “DNR”, “LNR”, and the occupied Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.

All proceeds from this release will go to Livyj Bereh — a volunteer organisation, which helps to rebuild the homes of those affected by the Russian invasion, as well as provides constant aid for the Ukranian military.

We thank everybody, who participated and all those, who are willing to support the cause.

Are u happy ? Ep.01

Hugo Esquinca offers his debut album format release, DOCUMENTO_UNO, for Psychic Liberation stating:

“DOCUMENTO_UNO [2014-2024] is a -mis-selection of bastardized personal archival material containing actions, installations, induced DSP corruption, after-hours field recordings and direct documentation of audio equipment degradation. With the intention to dispose rather than preserve, all files utilized for the production of this CD have been permanently deleted after usage.”

Copious libations and long, long walks around metropolitan sprawl are part of the process material that cultivate the contained audio within DOCUMENTO_UNO. Esquinca posits a formal conundrum, skewing the perceptual intake of the organic and inorganic aurality in a collaged twenty-nine minutes and thirty-nine seconds of Esquinca’s auto-documentarian efforts. Something about weighted city environments, places like Mexico City or Berlin or Glasgow, and how they interrelate with weather extremities, finances, alcohol, and one's personhood are embedded in DOCUMENTO_UNO. At the end of the day, you are not at home.

Esquinca is known for large scale audio works that take on the extremity of amplification to incite situations and circumstances that become ruminations on what is impenetrable or absent* yet consequently disruptive**. For DOCUMENTO_UNO a similar through line to materiality and ephemeral outcome is observed. The pushing of a recording device to its furthest capabilities and the harmonic damages that follow through as a result. The unwavering compositional directive to keep finding the threshold of the audio space, first in capturing from life and then later from processing and arranging. This is Esquincas first album effort.

The truth is that Esquinca is exhausted by Sound and its orbiting cultural sphere. His multifaceted work as an artist, researcher, and writer continually exhibits a perspective in extremity that manifests a perspective a politer audience recoils in facing. Esquinca though is no brute, nor looking for cheap tactics to elicit canonized pearl-clutching responses to the vulgarity of our times. DOCUMENTO_UNO complexly collages confrontation in formal, mechanistic, or actionable methods to unsettle your stereo and effectively not save your world.

In many ways, this release is a family affair for Esquinca. DOCUMENTO_UNO is the result of many nights of long talks and beverage consumption with friend and collaborator Nick Klein. Additionally, a selection of the original source material has been remixed by Russell Haswell, a longtime collaborator and friend of Esquinca.


* See works done at EMPAC in Troy, New York, where an entire auditorium's multi-channel sound system was played at maximum volume after hours with no one allowed in the building, leaving only the vibratory sensation of the architecture to speak to the idea of absence for the viewer.
** See Esquincas latest work, as part of a festival dedicated to Alvin Lucier, where the artist reinterprets Luciers “Sound On Paper”. Here Esquinca trades paper for architectural glass, focusing thousands of watts of amplification onto the glass to more caustically illustrate Luciers paper observations.

Montalvo - Colle [TRU008]

New York, NY – Colle, the creative alias of experimental musician Maya McGrory, debuts her solo album 'Montalvo' on urtruimage.

Inspired by her childhood memories of Montalvo Rd., this compelling collection of songs offers a profound exploration of McGrory's past, and presents a narrative of multiple lives lived at once. The contrasting landscapes of her life provide a backdrop for her music, allowing her to find solace in the innocence and simplicity of childhood. Emphasising the ephemeral nature of life, she embraces a flow that reflects the worries of her past and the allure of even the harshest conditions.

Her album invites listeners into immersive emotional landscapes; characterised by expansive glacial synths and strings, while trip-hop and shoegaze-inspired beats push her music into an experimental realm of electronic indie-rock, all enhanced by her sincere and captivating vocal delivery.

What began as a return to a specific time in her life evolved into a journey back to traditional songwriting, reimagined into an experimental vision during the production of Montalvo. For Colle, the process is less about distance and more about rediscovery—reclaiming the innocence and wonder that continue to influence her today.

Plea and Luck

Bride is a Berlin-based experimental noise musician and sound artist, constructing allegories within harsh and dissonant environments to embrace a grating vehemence, often with a focus on controlled feedback. 

This mix is a tapestry of unreleased material recorded over the past year collective in their unison of entropy vs control. With a few other tracks from artists I admire.
