DJ DIE SOON ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM AND SHARES ‘UNFINISHED’ FT. KIKI HITOMI & FRANCO FRANCO
‘MY BROTHEL THE WIND’ IS SET FOR RELEASE ON 25TH JULY

DJ DIE SOON is the apocalyptic alter-ego Daisuke Imamura, whose performances of masked malice have been a fixture in the Berlin underground for the past decade. Announced today alongside its first single, upcoming record 'My Brothel The Wind' takes inspiration from Sun Ra at his most grotesque, conjuring a distorted phantasmagoria with an eclectic crew of compatriots like Rully Shabara, Sara Persico, and longtime collaborator Kiki Hitomi.

Out today, first single ‘Unfinished' is a pulsating chimera featuring animalistic vocals from Kiki Hitomi of Ninja Tune bass explorers King Midas Sound, with Italian MC Franco Franco’s verses snaking underneath the noisy onslaught:

"I instantly knew that the song would be the first on the album. Raw, heavy and noisy - these elements are crucial for my art and Kiki and Franco boosted them even more with their voices.” DJ DIE SOON

'My Brothel The Wind' shows DJ DIE SOON as an alchemist of distortion, transmuting the club-forward beats of his 2020 debut Kappa Slap and the seething horrorscapes of DIEMAJIN, his 2022 collaboration with Tokyo vocalist MA. Imamura’s obsession with noise stems from his upbringing in Tokyo, where he grew up hearing the deafening roar of trains every day. “The buildings were really tall, so the sounds reflected so much and it was so loud that you couldn’t even have a conversation on the phone. Hearing this noise every minute when living in this flat, it became a normal thing,” he says. While most would content themselves with avoiding loudness, DJ DIE SOON seeks to unpack its visceral potential.

While Sun Ra’s intergalactic Moog reached for the stars, DJ DIE SOON plunges into the depths of hell. Rather than a vision of the future, 'My Brothel The Wind' is a laugh-cry of despair in the face of a Hadean present. DJ DIE SOON confronts the world with a new hand-made mask, reborn in the ashes. Film director Hiroo Tanaka’s visual contributions in the album art, poster, and music video complete the album’s narrative, telling a story not of villainy but of phantom caprice in a dying world.

For this new episode of our residency we are welcoming multidisciplinary artist Macrosoft.
Macrosoft is a Vienna-based artist and DJ who navigates the outer edges of experimental bass music. Her sets blend broken rhythms, deep pulses, and IDM’s intricate textures, blurring genre boundaries with instinctive precision.
With an ear tuned to both movement and introspection, she creates an ambience that speaks to the body, the mind and the unknown in between.

After 5 standout releases, including debuts from many fresh faces to the left-of-field underground scene, Plasma Sources presents its inaugural compilation: Multi-Source. It brings together the current label family and a slew of other artists operating on the cutting- edge of dance floor electronics for a multi-genre, sound design heavy, wild ride. In turn, the label takes aim at establishing itself as one of the most exciting imprints in the experimental club scene.
From the 90BPM cinematic, Lorn-esque sludge of newcomer Guide’s ‘Gemological’ to the crisp staccato transients and negative space of Ziyiz’s ‘Plastic Sentiments’, each track adheres to one of the guiding principles that the label has employed so effectively to curate it’s platform, irrespective of tempo: a love for sci-fi aesthetics and a desire to transpose these into sonic equivalents.

Plasma Sources has always prided itself on delicately balancing dark and light, release to release. On Multi-Source, this broad spectrum is in full vision. Reinartz offers up dubbed- out, IDM-esque desolation on ‘Action Bias’, whilst Stolen Velour’s ‘Suigetsu’ brings a bright playfulness - high-pitched vocal cuts marry pulsating, organic beats which sound like if Untold’s Hemlock output got a 2024 facelift. Some tracks, like Prior Self’s brooding yet fidgety ‘Turn Out’ and Klahrk & Atrice’s flange-fuelled ‘You’ve Changed’ occupy the centre of this continuum with their takes on high-tempo techno-influenced mutations.

The full label family comes back to join in on the fun. HYPNA and NIQH team up on a collaboration which perfectly unites their sounds under a 4-bar bass-heavy roller laden with noise. NIQH offers up their own track, exploring crystalline club structures on ‘Pressure’. unearth’s cinematic, wasteland-ridden sound is in clear focus on ‘Safe Tread’ and Beton Brut’s signature grime-concrète comes through loud and clear on ‘WWW’.

Cortical offer up ‘Hammer’, a continuation of their relentless avant-techno manifesto established by their debut, whilst J-Shadow rounds things off with a space-age jungle- exploration on ‘X-38'.
The juxtaposition of dark and light. The delicate balancing of experimentalism and dance floor sensibilities. The interweaving of sci-fi and biologically-infused sound design. These are the key aesthetics with which Plasma Sources has approached its output ever since release no.1.
Multi-Source acts as a confirmation of this manifesto as it looks forward to 2025 and its future as a key player in the experimental club scene.

'Trigger·Response' is the third V/A released by Craquages and the first of their curation series, in which their residents share their own artistic vision. 

ergen101 made this project a space where artists could freely explore the intrinsic contradictions and connexions of themes like oppression & freedom, softness & harshness or trauma & resilience, through an experimental, deconstructed club (or not club) & bass aesthetic. 

It tells a story of humanity, of past experienced as present and how we can now act on it : Trigger & Response.

This mix is titled "As Close As I Can Get" and it's inspired by the feeling of being in the water - something that I look forward to every year and especially this summer because I got to spend it with my partner in Lagos, portugal. So that's it basically, water and love 🙂
