Pursent - 346.2  (400ppm Remix) (Rengaine - RGN05)

Founded in 2017, the Swedish imprint Moloton started out as an outlet for the growing experimental music scene in Stockholm. The label has to-date released six tape cassettes and two vinyl EPs by artists like Sonja Tofik, Mar-llena, Nev Lilit, Hegira Moya and Atonet.
For the label’s ninth outing, they're welcoming Orphan Ann with their debut LP ‘The Practice of Surrender’.

The duo, consisting of DIY veteran Anja Enerud (Masskultur collective) and Sofia Al Rammal Sturdza (SARS, Född Död) burst onto the scene with their pitch-black take on synth music, combining sharp, penetrating vocal chants with atonal drones and haunting drum machine patterns. Orphan Ann has previously released their music on the Danish label Posh Isolation, where they contributed with four tracks to the ‘You And Me Now’ cassette compilation.
They have been performing their live show at various stages around the world, including MUTEK in Mexico City and Norbergfestival in Sweden.

‘The Practice of Surrender’ consists of nine tracks, all recorded, produced and mixed by the duo themselves in their studio collective Tropiska Föreningen in Stockholm and is set to be released on January 25th 2019. It is indubitably a proof of a healthy Stockholm scene, where both Moloton and Orphan Ann are leading the way, pushing the Swedish experimental sound forward with a glare.

A1 - Vi är överallt
A2 - The Practice of Surrender
A3 - Du kommer aldrig nära igen
A4 - Den stora knullfesten

Varg2™ & Soho Rezanejad - 600 Lives To Become Nothing But A Memory

Even in her more upbeat moments, Kedr Livanskiy’s music evokes a kind of hazy stasis. 

It’s no surprise then that her mix for Bandcamp Week seems to hover, shimmering in the half-light, finding pockets of tenderness even in the often-frantic works of artists like Fugazi and Sporting Life.

Smackdown x Paprika - https://youtu.be/MxIY-yM9ISU

‘I just wanted to make good UK Bass music' is what Francesco said to me as we spoke about his remarkably unique approach to electronic music. Considering the three-track sophomore EP, It is evident immediately that this initial incentive was one that he was quick to let go of. We started to notice this in a big way when his first EP 'Pianta Tenera' was sent to us. Our ears pricked up as we listened to this standalone producer amongst a sea of talent. It can be hard to distinguish between unique styles as easily these days; but there was no issue here.

Jaf Ge Nos makes his second appearance on NHS with a release that takes an even greater leap out into theatrical, psychedelic progressive territories that span across 3 starkly different pieces. Often jazzy, frequently emotively eclectic, moving and undeniably rhythmic, Jaf Ge Nos has dialed up the originality tenfold on ‘Un Discorsetto’ and broken through the chains of restriction (Not that he really had any before anyway, but you get the idea). Branching out of the digital realm and skittering into instrumentation to add a whole level of depth and individuality to already obscure sound. We have decided to dub him the 'Nektar of Bass Music'. It's as if Southern American rhythm entered into a deep loving relationship with Prog Rock and they conceived this litter of love children. It's like watching a film that is comprised of every genre in one sitting.

Jaf Ge Nos set out to assimilate into the UK Bass music scene and ended up further away than he ever intended; and we love him for it. Let him whisk you away on an adventure across the three epic stories that make up the ‘Un Discorsetto’ EP.
