Our final premiere for ST๐๐๑๐ 'Nueng Kamtham' is out now which is the remix by the lovely Sapphire Slows. This version can be found on the B-side with a delicate approach to sound design, crafted through the Buchla synthesizer by Japanese modular artist. The charm of this version lies within the sustained notes that gently inhale and exhale between enigmatic vocoder effects and layers of beauty, nature, and technology.
Thank you to Oslated for helping us with the premiere. (link in comments below)

We are proud to present Temple Rat, known offstage as Mei Yuxin, and her highly anticipated debut EP, "The Composition of Air."🦂
This album signifies her first solo release with Siamese Twins, following her contribution to the Kāthā V.A. (ST-๐๐ห้า), which Higher Intelligence Agency later reworked on ST-๐๐๘. Each track gracefully transitions, creating a harmonious blend of ethereal haze yet grounded echogenic brushstrokes. Despite the otherworldly ambiance, the EP remains deeply rooted in an ancient mystique, which Mei has skillfully crafted.

Premiere for Higher Intelligence Agency remix of Temple Rat.
"Sleep was all she could think about; she couldn’t get enough of it, no matter how long she dozed or napped she never felt satisfied. Her bed was her sanctuary, her best friend and confidant, the only place she felt truly safe… It wouldn’t be unusual for her to spend an entire day there, wrapped up in the warmth of her duvet and in the safety of her dreams. To her, there was no place better…"
We are very proud of this one, Thank you Ransom Note for the lovely writeup.

S/o's to 44,100Hz Social Club for premiering Mogambo's 'Chakkar (चक्कर)' music video! 🙈🙉🙊 Link in comments.
Mogambo- Urvi (उर्वी) is up for pre-order! 🙈🙉🙊 Mogambo knit together a heady, hypnotic sound from the many enigmatic strands of Asia’s musical cultures: the deep traditional instrumentations of Siam and India, the high-tech edge of modern Bangkok, and the rich Goan bloodline of trance. The results are both otherworldly, yet instantly comprehensible.
We are treated with this mind-bending live set via Fault Radio from The Observatory resident Nic Ford, who also released his single 'Cyberd' on our Katha compilation last year. Hat's off, it's a trip (Full link in comments below).
