Pain Management welcomes London cult favourite DJ ojo, who arrives on the label with a hazy three tracker of trademark nether zone system music. On his most dubbed out full length to date, ojo span’s the full emotive spectrum of dub sonics with a range of both the eerie and more tender expansions of low end atmospherics, the resulting 12” equally suited for the club and the journey home alike.

‘Tongue Tied’ opens the record, a lysergic offering from the darker edges of dub music. A slippery fugue-state hit of narco-ambience built around a crooning, intelligible vocal refrain and chest shot sub weight. A real nightfall system pusher built to simmer in the early hours. It kicks off the EP on an amorphous, hypnotic note that sustains throughout.‘Oil Dub’ sinks deeper into the fog, melodic kinesis and expansive delays upholding an underworld of feedbacked percussion and tongue in cheek sub motion; a seven minute sound bath of ambiguous dub ASMR.

The B-side balances out the darker strains found on its counterpart with an overtly tender digidub closer. Clocking in at almost ten minutes long ‘Cloud Suck’ is a nebulous bliss of perpetually ascending late-summer warmth. The kind of liminal dream-state embrace that you wish would never end. True to the name, it evokes tender, dusk and dawn hued moments, a quiet ride-home flash of introspection on the way to or from some pursuit of meaning. Pain Management essential right here.

Limited run of 200 hand-stamped 12” records available now.

traverse is proud to announce the release of its first record - a compilation of six tracks from various artists, inspired by Pembroke King’s poem moving silhouettes, written for this occasion.

As the fourth volume of the compilation series “traversée”, moving silhouettes encourages artists to explore all corners of listening music and creative avenues that aren’t tied to any one convention. 

Pembroke King’s poem sheds light on the mood of the compilation, and even though each artist brings its own interpretation of it, there is a beautiful harmony of it all - from Kate Miller’s atmospheric sounds to Teqmun’s drums-made-of-rain-drop-recordings or Ghjuliú’s nostalgic melodies, the listener travels around Pembroke’s words with each track. 

As our first physical release, we feel honoured to collaborate with artists who have been involved in a way or another on traverse before such as Officium, Mika Oki and Alohn, but Kate Miller, Teqmun, and Ghjuliú, that we’ve been keeping close to our heart for a long time already.

Premiere: Kate Miller - Fenced Fringes | traverse

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-d-towards-my-mind

London-based experimental vanguard SORN gear up to drop their fifth artefact ‘Rephlex’, a shape-shifting suite of tracks from the Samara-based alchemist d. towärds...For our premiere, we zoom in on ‘my mind’ - a woozy descent into percussive mirage and psychoacoustic trickery. The track opens with slippery, delay-drenched drums that slither like AI serpents in a low-gravity ritual. Hiss-stained textures ripple in the periphery, while submerged low-end pressure keeps things anchored to the earth’s core, or at least somewhere beneath it. As the piece evolves, it mutates into a chrome-dipped hybrid of electro and ancient drone, suggesting the breath of unseen biomechanical fauna roaming deep, moss-cloaked networks. Listening feels like stumbling across a buried satellite still transmitting emotional code, flickering with the echoes of something once human.

d. towärds - my mind [SORN]

Track culled from the forthcoming 12" on Noir Age by Drug Free America; chiefly the side project of Brian Moss from Vicious Pink, along with Steve Dixon and Hayley Windsor on vocals. Originally released on CD in 1995. Stylistically stringing a high wire between toasty psychedelic dub canyons and ethereal post-punk architecture. First time on vinyl, coming soon to Noir Age!
