zenevloed series

Presents...

Paranoid dancing machine.

With 'Vuile Leugenaar' Dollkraut delivers four solid techno tracks on Viewlexx that convey his love of distorted vintage electronics. He demonstrates his knowledge of the harder, genuine edge of music made for dark dance floors. Even more melancholic and darker than his earlier releases Ghoulia and Fetish. A perfect fit for the mighty Viewlexx label.

"Embrace your primal nature and let the frenzied beat lead you back to your ancestral roots". Leese and Capiuz join forces for a new split ep on Over My Body. Along with two mutual remixes of previous recordings and a brand new track from the experimental oriented duo.

Capiuz is the experimental dance project of producer and performer Luca Favaro. Based in Italy, his genre-merging production focuses on exploring rhythm and sound design in a club context. Often leaning towards live performances, Capiuz’s music takes the form of a heavy hitting outburst filled with heavy bass, breakcore progressions and granular textures.

Leese, based in Brussels, is an electronic music artist who has gained recognition for her unique style blending break and tribal influences. She recently signed two EPs with label Yuku, one of which was named the Best Bandcamp Release of April, and performs at clubs and festivals throughout Europe. On stage, Leese delivers a passionate and energetic performance, mesmerizing her audience with her powerful beats and enchanting atmospheres. She is becoming increasingly well-known in the electronic/bass music scene and her project is continually evolving and developing.

After 'Auras Around Humans' in 2021 and 'Waterfall Cave' in 2022, Grande Rousse disques is really proud and happy to unveil 'Ephemeral and Unseen', Sopoorific's third tape.

"Ephemeral and Unseen' is a celestial journey in seven magical chapters, seven new age incantations taking us into the dizzying immensity of an enigmatic cosmos. With each new step into its infinite depths, the echo of this astral ritual resonates louder and louder, spreading its invisible forces until it engulfs the mind and the heart. Perception is blurred, and it is on the threshold of liminality that consciousness wanders amid brilliant stars, mystical planets, comet dust and spectres that are the messengers of omens.

Enrico Cesaro, the person behind the alias Mace., is back releasing his brand new work in collaboration with viscm and angoisse.

"How to be Yourself” is an ode to the ever-changing, untouchable unfolding of the self and the elusive observation of it.The ensemble of tracks shapes a canvas of individual experiences, family memories and collective uncoscious that suggests - both by blending together and maintaining their own singular character - the hurdle of grasping totality. Unexpected contrasts and social emotional imaginery inputs are present throughout the whole work, depicted with a range of sonorities that goes from progressive electronics to classical, from almost orchestral to noisy shoegaze.

Premiere: Entire City - Four Hands Become Eight [Viscm x angoisse]

’Trystero’, the debut full-length album of Stockholm-based composer Theodor Kentros, could easily be interpreted as “just” an assemblage of pieces written between 2021-2024. Named after the paranoid hallucination (or, if said hallucination is real, the underground secret mail system) figuring in the 1966 Thomas Pynchon novel ‘The Crying of Lot 49’, it should rather be perceived as a very distinct, coherent stream running through his output during these years.

The six tracks – ranging in sound and disposition from serialised organ drones constructed to reach screeching and beautiful culminations, to minimalist, repetitive studies in tape loops and string synthesis – were composed and recorded in Stockholm and Visby at different occasions during down-time from his many other projects, which includes a myriad of other commissions, co-running labels XKatedral and Kalkatraz Cassettes and touring with punk groups and solo shows.

In October he embarks on a west-coast US-tour in relation to the album being released. Moloton are proud to present ‘Trystero’ on a limited edition of 200 vinyl LPs.

Hailing from the mountains of the United States interior highlands, 24 year old producer Aulic Veil makes dark and heavy-hitting club music indebted equally to mid-00s UK bass weight, underground Midwestern techno, computer music morphology, and Symbolist art. Utilizing a variety of synthesis techniques, stochastic compositions, and custom software instruments, they blur the line between chaos and order and weave multilayered tapestries of sound from the unpredictable beauty that emerges. Expect warped acousmatic sound design interspersed between fierce hooks and high esotericism; no dancefloor left unshaken...

bad lsd trips - ultrafest (ENMB-17)
Excerpts below from the extended album description by Nick Klein, written February 10, 2025.

I. 

𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘭𝘴𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘴 is the collaborative duo of makers doris dana and domingo castillo flores. Respectively the two have fostered practices that have sprawled out through various approaches and, whether in the lanes of the musical or the contemporary arts, the phenomenology of the social and inclusive prevails. On 𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵, this motif continues through the psychedelia of its eight time-defying recordings, welcoming the listener into an open temporal architecture of the stereo field as a signifier of environment. It is worth noting that the group began collaborating in Miami, Florida with longer form improvisations recorded to a stereo cassette deck. In these recordings, the paved geographical sprawl and oceanic view permeated the approach to amassing long swaths of sound material. Listening back on that work at the time of this writing, each track feels as though one is walking into an active space, arriving to an event already in full swing and finding your place inside of it. On 𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵 (this album) something different occurs. The space and events are built around you as you move through the record.

IV.

𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵 mirrors the balance of the temporal interiority and exteriority of the previously referenced chemical compounds when applied to the body for recreational psychedelic experiences. The jubilation of the slack jawed festival attendee, the gallop of the horse upon the earthen ground, the stagnation of humidity on the body, the sprawl of unkempt concrete through Florida cities, the aroma of bleach in a bar bathroom. On this album, the band illustrates the territories when you almost have your grounding; the moment when you are on the pivot between the real and the intoxicated, or even the really intoxicated. These spaces are the softening and hardening of light on your eyes, they are the gripping of a porcelain sink between moments staring in the bathroom mirror.

In an era where so much tremendous creative energy is put into a softer, safer space through ambient music to respond (negligently) or (worse?) take shelter from the hellish global condition of late capitalism; 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘭𝘴𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘴 takes your hand into the murkier moments of reflection awarded to the listener in the genre. The resolution is not carved out for you, and what truly sits suspended in the ambiance of the now is an unfiltered view of where the world has come to through centuries of civilization. It’s a brutal landscape with an ill-determined end result. Where other practitioners of the sonic gesture of ambient are sheltering within a glistening plasticene blanket of clicks and rustlings with low pass filters of melancholic chord structures, this album burrows itself comfortably in the formless chaos of true psychedelia and reminds me 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 is truly what our unfortunate ambiance is today. The album reflects joy and terror, and it longs and leans towards finding something in the midst of sonic exploration. Passivity nullified, ambient beyond indulgence and evasion.

Premiere: bad lsd trips - steaming mescaline (extended mix) [enmossed]

This release is a journey, a weaving together of fleeting visions from parallel, yet intertwined sonic realms. It ventures boldly through a rich tapestry of sounds and textures, each track born not from rigid intention but from an unrelenting pursuit of the elusive, those shimmering, transient spaces in the soundscape, like the mysterious limbo of Vaalbara. The music unfolded live, forged in real-time with an arsenal of synthesizers. In these moments, delicate interactions gave way to sudden storms of chaotic experimentation, the machines pushed beyond their thresholds, revealing hidden voices at the edge of collapse. This album is more than a collection of tracks, it’s an open invitation. Step inside, and perhaps you’ll find yourself tapping into the same emotional landscapes that Ruben traversed while creating it: wonder, vulnerability, and the thrill of discovery in the unknown.

Premiere: Ruben Borgers - Vaalbara [Colectivo Casa Amarela]

This album emerges from the rediscovery of an accordion following the loss of a close relativean instrument that had been a constant companion throughout their life, weaving itself into the fabric of childhood memory. At its core lies the recognition that both human and accordion share the same essential act: breathing. 

The accordion becomes a meditation on mortality and memory, its bellows expanding and contracting like "lungs", its air valve releasing pure breath without melody—the raw pneumatic essence of life itself. Every sound originates from this single instrument, largely unprocessed, preserving the intimate relationship between human touch and mechanical response. 

It’s an investigation of how an instrument can hold the memory of hands that no longer play it. The mechanical whispers, the subtle articulations of metal and leather and wood become a language of remembrance, breathed rather than spoken.

This short mix of 14 tracks draws from Hiiro Issiki's latest EP ‘Tannins’, and includes mashup tracks.

"To transform the structured art of “music” into ambiguous particles of memory and space.
It is neither “story” nor “emotion”. It is the sensation of fragments, the memory of reverberations, the minute tremors of the unconscious. In other words, I want to present as a work of art the very sensation of “a faint blur in the silence. Time is not a line but a layer, melody is not will but an accidental stain, and “to listen” is not to enter into the sound but to be blurred by the sound."

Tracklist:

Hiiro Issiki - Out Of The Blue
Hiiro Issiki - Cage Homes
Hiiro Issiki - Lachrymose
Hiiro Issiki - No Place To Hide

About the artist:
Hiiro Issiki creates unique, immersive music that blends dynamic, emotional soundscapes with meditative stillness. Inspired by movie soundtracks, his work combines deep, sentimental tones and abrupt, intense noises to reflect modern society and human existence. His music explores our hopes for the future and raw impulses, inviting listeners to experience an existential journey, culminating in a dramatic, reflective album ending that captures life’ s struggles and joys.
Issiki has performed at the Austrian festival HYPERREALITY, the Shanghai club Antigen, the Tokyo clubs WWW and Forestlimit, and has recently held an ambient exhibition at the Koishikawa Botanical Garden in Tokyo.

Marijn S is a Dutch producer and DJ who showcases the organic age of dance with radiant breaks and gritty, icy soundscapes.

As a producer, Marijn combines multiple contrasts in her work; the raw, pure and timeless essence of music. Embracing simplicity and tranquility, Marijn is also intrigued by darker, experimental, and complex music. Her artistic expression is characterised by the playful juxtaposition of these contrasts. 

She’s played notable gigs such as De School (AMS) Garage Noord (AMS), Dekmantel Festival (AMS), La Cheetah (Glasgow) and participated in events like Ilian Tape’s Amsterdam takeover at the Melkweg. Marijn S has recently made her live performance debut for Speedy J's STOOR / PINK NOISE during ADE, playing only with her so described ‘machine of self expression’: One hour full of her own creations, ranging from textured ambience and dreamy IDM to heavy distorted bass, abstract noise and heavy hitting electro & techno.

Her most recent EP, Digital Tears, is entirely composed and produced using the Elektron Machinedrum MKII. Some tracks, like Digital Tears and Soft Fall, were recorded in a single take to capture the raw energy, live vibe, and personal touch that come from working with analog equipment. She uses techniques like layering, resampling and overdubbing to produce a richer, denser, and reimagined sound (Gleam), as well as recording several elements individually, processing and arranging them in a way that enhances the overall coherence of the sound (Magnetic Fields).

Marijn S - Digital Tears EP will be out on September 12th on Selvamancer.

Drums like a clenching fist, the footsteps of a collective demand.

/every.moment<repeat> invites you to lose yourself in repetition, to find beauty not in the unique, but the endlessly replayed – memories looping, moments folding back on themselves. A sound-world that asks: if you could return to any moment forever… would you?

Turning the Japanese concept of ichi-go ichi-e – the fleeting, unrepeatable encounter – on its head, Makaton reshapes impermanence into recurrence, fragility into permanence.

The Exchange is a periodic in-depth look at the artistic motivations of musicians and collectives. We try to approach this from a more cultural and societal perspective, aside from the necessary musical one, because we cannot deny the influence of modern age bringing ideas from all over the world which broaden our horizons. It is a fact that we can learn a lot from movements that are foreign to us.

Pier blasts a fresh wind in the saturated French scene and is joined by veteran JoeFarr and artists of the moment Corroid and SDB. Divided Attention could be an ode to realization that life happens when one is busy making other plans. To be able to be more efficient in our day-to-day lives, divided attention allows us to process and carry out multiple tasks at a time. In music however, different sounds – which can be seen as stimuli – are often organized in a rhythm and are subconsciously heard as one piece, the composition.

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.

Tracklist:

A1. Vast As Black Night

A3. Sinuous As A Swan 
B1. The Venal Muse (ft. The Shivery Of Veil)
B2. Your Eyes Resemble Mud 
B3. Though With Tears

Release date: mid March

The Venal Muse is always present and gives birth to big pleasures and life representations, but at the same time, with eyes full of mud, to mind perversions and reality collapses, generating a contrast which leads the artist to another state of his mind. There a no simplifications, everything is translated without polishings and shades.

The music talks, it doesn’t lie and able to solve many cold and unsolved enigmas of the life, like a flower among many complexes, give reasons to the dramatic mind to live and generate something that is far away from the reality, spreading pleasures for all concerned.

Introspective journey into a deeper consciousness. A vertical poetry.

From UVB-76 Music’s fractal personnel rises Karim Maas. A familiar face behind a new mask, Maas, one of the sonic panjandrums at the core of the labels sound creates aural experience that bleeds between genre and tone with striking ease.

Explicitly undefinable by genre, Maas employs a recurring sound palette that binds his compositions together as a cohesive body of work which is conducive in series. As one-third of Ruffhouse and a founding member of production outfit 4 6 2 5, Maas’ obsession with hardware and outboard production kit is demonstrated by the warmth, body and sheer power of his work.

zenevloed 117 - Karim Maas

‘Verdigris’ the new EP from Japanese artist Atsushi Izumi, is a deep dive into the crevice of the mind. It is an exploration of where fearful emotions lie and confronting them. It is only through this conflict that light can shine through in the end.

Atsushi Izumi’s use of long drawn out hollow synths is like an ominous cemetery at night before these powerful percussions detonate in. He uses heavy spaced out bass drums, either as a single or double beat, which simmer as they echo and roll. They are surrounded by these chaotic, textured synths, which can sound like a cicada, hovering and distorted to give a mechanical effect. It feels like being thrown into the woods late at night, eerie yet calm in the beginning, before extreme panic sets in and you feel like you’re being chased. Japan witnessed the end of the world up close and it is still reflected in their art and music: it delves into the sadistic and explores deep themes of melancholy and the apocalypse. This is juxtaposed against pure joy and serenity, showing that life is there to be enjoyed and struggles have an end, which is translated quite coherently to this piece. 

As an extra bonus to all this, there is a scintillating remix from ANFS. The Greek adds a bit of pace to the track Zeit. He is an artist who enjoys frantic distorted techno and it shows in this cut. He takes the basic elements but whereas the original slowly introduces the percussions, ANFS bangs straight in. It’s structured yet frantic and a massive sound.

First hour of our A+W invite, with Imperial Black Unit

Imperial Black Unit is a technoïd French duo formed by Lapse of Reason and Templer in 2017. Their sound is characterized by a blend of early EBM/ Industrial vibes with today's sensibilities. By using an anti-establishment attitude and militaristic esthetic on top of hard rhythms, screams and sharp synths, they create an intense fusion of the past and the present.

Ekin Fil's ethereal album 'HEAVY' - originally released on cassette in 2016 – will be reissued by Vaagner by the end of the month on LP. Remastered from the tape rips by Rashad Backer, preserving the fragile and heavy hearted auditory sensibility found in the original work.

Extract of review by The Wire (covering both the 'Heavy' release, as well as 'You, Only'):
"Like the ruins of an ancient wall, the music of Turkish composer Ekin
Üzeltüzenci stands as a soft reminder that hard boundaries are a fleeting illusion."

Versatile A/V artist and producer based between Riga and Berlin, N1L intersects eclectic "club" music experiments with post-industrial psychedelia and intense alien soundscapes. Having recently been focused on independent self-publishing, his previous releases have also been put out by acclaimed labels such as UIQ, Opal Tapes, among others.

ПОТОП (“potop”, or deluge in Russian) presents seven pieces encapsulating dark apocalyptic themes, each setting the scene for a disorientating sonic landscape that references the genesis flood narrative found in the world’s ancient mythologies. Centered on Earth's return to a pre-anthropocene state of watery chaos, this allegory illustrates both punishment for man’s mortal sins as well as new beginnings born from the washing away of everything that has reached its final, obsolete stage — the message of which is increasingly relevant today.

Ritualistic expression of motivated suppression, Meer's interpretation of the original seeks a no-nonsense outlet curated by night's terrors.

"Universal Poison is Istigkeit's first EP on his own imprint. For this big first, Istigkeit has decided to unveil some early works which were originally supposed to be out on the label of a fellow artist who unfortunately put it on a hiatus.

The release takes dance music down a dark alley and mostly offers dancefloor-unfriendly beats.
The whole piece can be described as a blend of cold broken techno and industrial music with black/doom metal influences. It is composed with four original tracks and four remixes by Meer, Töria, Halv Drøm and Nigh/T\mare."

Find the teaser video of the 'Microplastic EP' here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i3em51fVa

Following their last "Thirst Ep" released on Instrument of Discipline in 2019, the duo Diasiva (Monolog and Swarm Intelligence) returns with a five tracks work on the Berlin Imprint Arboretum.

While addressing the environmental issue of the human impact on natural ecosystems, Microplastic Ep seems to embark upon a journey of deconstruction of Techno, IDM and Bass Music towards futuristic paradigms.

Here, gritty broken-beats, wisely mixed with titanic basslines, an ominous dystopic temper seems to simulate the contemporary unrelenting strain, fading at time either into kaleidoscopic-visionary synthlines archetypes or cinematic rarefied epilogues for a comforting utopia.

A1. Taligrade
A2. Microplastic
B1. Detiest
B2. Orcus
B3. Defiance

The artist’s menial employment at a nightclub is explored in his third solo release, Coatcheck. In it, Zeisig carves a series of surreal apertures for viewing the club’s framework of workplace behavior and patron expectation. These viewpoints are so immersed and encoded in the physical and economic structures of the club that they sound far removed, or completely distinct—marking the realities of wage laborers who enable the necessary but still fantastical “escape” from capitalist drudgery.

The record presents different atmospheres and acoustics of the club—a place where people go to escape their working lives and release their inhibitions—from the perspective of a person working there. Functioning as a conceptual map of the space, each track on the album follows a different location of the building, activity, and mood of the worker. Instead of thundering beats and whirling debauchery, the artist yields the sounds of structures hidden from view but necessary to the production of public space.

The album is a meditation on the contradiction inherent in supposedly free and progressive spaces, which are in many ways the same as any capitalist institution in terms of what’s experienced by their menial workers and marginalized attendees. In an attempt to provide an auditory and psychic balm to the listener in recognition of this fact, Zeisig draws upon his extensive research and practice of ASMR phenomena during the recording process. A cultural sonic development that is located most often in the privacy of one’s home and head, such techniques are explored as a means of challenging the rules and arrangements that guide the club.  

All proceeds go to Women In Exile, a Berlin-based organization dedicated to helping women and families seeking refugee status and resettlement in Germany.
 
Florian T M Zeisig holds a master’s degree in sound arts from Universität der Künste Berlinand, and is a current excellence student of Prof. Carsten Nicolai (Alva Noto). His solo and collaborative work as half of the duo OCA has been released by labels such as Important Records/Cassauna, Anòmia, Constellation Tatsu and Métron Records. Recent collaborations include a feature on Kelela’s Aquaphoria mixtape and a remix for Loraine James. He has presented installation and performance work at institutions such as Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Cafe OTO, and Hangar Barcelona, amongst others.

“Collaboration, not competition” is the motto of Body To Body, Sina XX’s new collaborative platform for harder sounds. The founder of Subtyl – one of the artist collectives responsible for Paris' rave renaissance – has gathered an army for high-pressure techno: underage KAOS affiliate u.r.trax, trance veteran Voiski, Cassie Raptor, K.U.S.S and Munsinger. 

Physical to their core, these 5 tracks are made to disrupt the effects of social distancing. “Miroir” opens up with u.r.trax' iconic voice, hammering a quote from Nietzsche (who said techno can’t be smart?) on a production that reminds a faster, harder take on early 2000’s electroclash. On “Invisible Fire”, a mind-bending synths part blurs the line between hard techno and trance, while the flip side offers a selection of forward-thinking rave bangers.

Release date: July 15th
