Our third batch is something we’ve been waiting for a long time.
We are privileged to release new albums by regulars to the experimental scene, the ever-searching Manja Ristić from Serbia, and the journalist-activist duo from Canada, Stefan Christoff & Joseph Sannicandro.
The albums will launch on the 15th of November 2024. Pre-orders open on the 11th of October.
We do not take the cooperation of these great artists for granted - the albums they’ve submitted are world-class and we couldn’t be happier to share them with you.
Love,

#OA05 @wojtek_kiwer ~ Disconnect
Wojtek Kiwer disregards established notions of songwriting to DISCONNECT. Instead, he taps into the primordial creative currents. He becomes one with the waves of intuition as his extensive producing experience propels him forward during the joyful exploration of the unknown.
DISCONNECT results from a conscious decision to develop a new mode of creation. Unbound from the shackles of unattainable perfection and free of fear of failure - he focuses on the here and now. Mindful of each moment, he pours from the unlimited chalice of inspiration and obtains a glimpse into the higher knowledge of life.
Captured once and never to be recalled again, these six swirling modular improvisations are precious opportunities for the listeners to find their way to cut the umbilical cord of toxic mindlessness. As they rumble around us, they conjure a magical make space for thoughts, memories, moods, and connotations.
The moment passes and we move on, filled with new energy, riding the wave of life.
Love,
okla records

#OA04 @janek_krukowski ~ Latent
An idiosyncratic soundscape, curated by Man and performed by Machine.
‚Latent’ is a hymn to the Latent space, a phenomenon understood as an abstract, multidimensional collection of data combined through the similar characteristics of objects contained therein. Harnessing the latest in academic neural network processing and machine mimicry, Janek generated hours of sounds and then went back to the algorithmic audio-processing well to cut, mangle, transpose, and otherwise process them. Combined with the recordings made by LOM Geofon and Basicucho, they are rendered here as five shuffling soundscapes, familiar yet distinctly alien. Presented with a simple naming convention, they are free from context or emotive suggestion, inviting the listener to make their own.
The Machine might excel at finding thin through-lines connecting resembling items but The Man gives it power by listening. Together, we can explore the latent space.
