We are beyond excited about today's premier hitting close to home! Following the last month's debut under the Moon Patrol moniker on 'The Meaning of Time III' compilation, our very own Gilles Wasserman is releasing his first EP! Long time in the making, the five-track "Emma's Hiding" EP produced together with his life partner Irina Kotik sees the light via the Leipzig-based A Friend In Need record label.
Each track on the EP explores a particular range of, sometimes uneasy, emotions. Each built on a rich, contrasting sonic palette of the intricate organic beats and the dreamy, slightly melancholic melodies refined by the openly computerized, synthetic elements. The inherent difference between the two creates a curious harmonic tension, like a call for spiritual decoding of humanity extending ourselves across a posthuman machine-hybrid world.
Closing the journey, EP's namesake "Emma's Hiding" is an introspective, airy saga gradually evolving into a wonderfully unsettling hypnotic state. Once wandering beats decisively settle the pace; floating soundscapes arise onto a peaceful, reflective background; and the crisp, casually nostalgic keyboard melody merges with a robotic, albeit still in analog form, roll call; and you have a feeling of figuring it all out - the voice sample adds an unexpected dimension, steering the thoughts towards the greater vitality of our still socially gated human connections.
"Emma's Hiding" EP is out on the A Friend In Need label on July 15, 2021

Music travels faster than ever, yet the connections that shape it still depend on patience. Sense of the Substrate, the new release from our own Griff Fulton under his Aspetuck alias, feels like the result of that slow exchange. Out on Konstrukt, the Nijmegen label that has built its identity around subtle consistency, the kind of releases where artwork, sound, and intention all seem to breathe the same air. Aspetuck’s latest record fits naturally into that lineage. Following his standout LP on Oslated earlier this year, Griff returns with a five-track EP that combines warmth, precision, and patience into a sound that feels unmistakably his own.

The record moves through slower tempos and unforced grooves, where rhythm has room to stretch and melody can take its time to unfold. Our premiere, “Subterranean Rhizome,” sits right in that zone, a track that glows rather than burns. It opens with interlaced percussion and a gentle breakbeat that sets a calm propulsion, gradually joined by flickering chords that rise like light through shallow water. Every element feels hand-shaped, balanced between the tangible and the ethereal. By the time the main riff arrives, you’re already somewhere else entirely, in that rare headspace where the body listens and the mind moves.

Sense of the Substrate arrives November 21 on Konstrukt, available digitally and on vinyl. It’s another chapter in a story that values connection over noise and craft over speed, the kind of record that reminds you why physical formats, and the people behind them, still matter.

PREMIERE: Aspetuck - Subterranean Rhizome [Konstrukt]

A new podcast from @Noizar! This one has been anticipated for more than a year :)

item.cast 020: Noizar

There was an echo upon a quiet street corner, the lights from the bodega flickered, flashed and fuzzed in the distance. One silent, solitary shout in the blackness of a murky city backdrop which offered little comfort or friendship to those without a place to go. Wandering alongside the river, down by the bridge he looked out upon distant lights - the tall buildings and the skyscrapers looked ever so beautiful in the hazy darkness. This was his chance to cogitate, to reassess and relive his choices. For each and every single one of them had lead to here. 

Promoter is a NYC based musician set to release an EP via Patience. Two long playing, atmospheric compositions which lean heavily towards the dubbed fringes of techno yet maintain their own sonic, solitary distinction in sound.
