Arms Of Heaven-Sunbeam

One of Pure Space’s dear friends and most regular contributors Roy Batty Jr. steps up for his first solo EP on the label titled ‘Complicit Stutter’. 

Whilst dodging Melbourne’s winter the tracks were first ideated on New South Wales’ South Coast in 2022. Partly fuelled by a self imposed creative pressure, and later finished with a fitting dose of anger and confusion. 

The release opens with ‘Maintaining The Distance’, where a warm bassline glides beneath wiggly synthesis to create a slippery track with murky danceability, affirmed by a crispy electro beat. 

Next comes ‘Machine Strap’, a track that speaks to Batty’s fear of the modern world, his entanglement with technology and the cavernous space that leaves within his life. The four to the floor beat keeps you grounded while the recklessly bending synthesis lifts you seemingly endlessly. It’s a dancefloor mutation to twist even the freakiest of minds. 

‘Kind of Mad Sometimes’ comes with staunch simplicity. A track constructed for slowly massaging your inner critic. Its dreary drum and bass tones lumbering with angst. 

Rounding out the release ‘Bible Lashing Belt Reading’ speaks to the conflict between community and organisation, exploring the idea of understanding spirituality through structure. It’s an introspective breakbeat cut that comes with melancholic pads, and sombre tones.

Tracklist:
1. Maintaining The Distance
2. Machine Strap 
3. Kind Of Mad Sometimes
4. Bible Lashing Belt Reading

Premiere: Jörmungandr - Root Mender [PS017]

For our final release of the year we are thrilled to share this conceptual EP ‘An-Xileel’ from two aliases’ of Naarm based artist Daniel Jakobsson; Eastern Distributor and Jörmungandr.

The world building for this release came through a necessity for escapism for Jakobsson. Across this release, he takes you on a vivid journey through Black Marsh, a territory that sprawls through tranquil yet wild swamplands into densely breathtaking rainforests.

Within this captivating landscape resides the Argonians, reptilian humanoid creatures who call Black Marsh home. The EP delves into the world of the An-Xileel, a mysterious anti-imperialist political faction among the Argonians. With sharp, obsidian eyes gleaming with ancient intelligence, they are dedicated to purging the former colonial influence and restoring the homeland to its pre-foreign rule state.

Opening the release, 'Sap Speaker' by Eastern Distributor sets the tone with a frenzied and energetic vibe, establishing the EP's atmosphere. Throughout the track, the crisp percussion maintains a sharp presence amidst the focused and intentionally immersive synthesis. The inspiration for this track stemmed from the swamp environments.

Moving on to Dam Dweller, the composition features cold, dark percussion alongside psychedelic sweeps that plunge the listener into a profound low-end groove. This groove undergoes a gradual evolution into a 4/4 eruption, accompanied by the delicate touch of gentle pads and strings. The inspiration behind this track draws from the water and cave systems of Black Marsh.

Dam Dweller gracefully concludes, paving the way for Sand Shaper, a mellow yet robust track. With a focus on organic instruments, a gliding bass, and bowed strings, Sand Shaper captivates with hypnotising atmosphere and polyrhythmic percussion. The inspiration for this piece lies in the territory's sandy shores.

Root Mender brings the tempo back up, radiating positivity, vitality, and life. Thick sub-bass tones resonate through the body, and purposeful drum programming slice through the ever engulfing ethereal pads. An amphibious croak pulses beneath heavy kicks, accompanied by soothing vocals. Strings and acid basslines elevate the track, marking it as the EP's highlight. The inspiration for Root Mender is drawn from the tree homes of the Argonians.

Concluding the EP, Tree Minder adopts an introspective tone. Minimalist percussion and sharp automation contrast with angelic pads and echoing sounds. Flutes, bells, and bows collectively paint the spirit of an alien world, mirroring the hope brought by the An Xileel to the Argonian people.

01. Eastern Distributor - Sap Speaker
02. Eastern Distributor - Dam Dweller
03. Eastern Distributor - Sand Shaper
04. Jörmungandr - Root Mender

Icaros of the Desert Sky is a ceremonial trance journey by Leeuwenstein, inspired by the ancient Shipibo healing tradition, desert mysticism, and feminine voices that guide the soul into dissolution and rebirth.
Each track is a living icaro, woven from hypnotic basslines, tribal percussion, sacred chants, and subtle Arabic influences. The music carries you into a sacred space where geometry becomes sound, where water flows into fire, and where the boundaries of the self dissolve into infinite vibration.
This album is meant for deep journeys, ceremonies with plant medicine, and trance states of inner exploration. Close your eyes, surrender to the rhythm, and let the tapestry of sound carry you beyond time.
