A glimmer of the magic

02/05/2024

Sun & Smoke began as a mixtape in 2018 by Greek artist Theef. It could have easily have become an internet artifact only those lucky enough to stumble across due to an algorithm would get to experience, but we had to change that. A pure deep techno trip reminiscent of the elusive circles of Traumprinz, this is one for those that enjoy the euphoric 4am dance floor rituals.

Now available to preorder with full release on May 24th. Grab the digital on Bandcamp for $1 minimum to absorb the experience of the original mixtape, and please join us for a full Bandcamp listening session on May 19th.

Lihla (Lih Qun Wong) is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer and storyteller, blending cello, electronics, and voice to craft unique immersive soundscapes. Her new album Socha explores the ‘diaspora of time and place, and why we all feel so displaced’. Piano chapters capture the meeting of memory and longing, while explorational vocal and cello textures invoke and echo the ancient, the feminine, and the otherworldly…

Out today as Name Your Price on Bandcamp

It’s been nearly two years since Brendon Gregoriy’s ( ) Merrin Karras alias graced us with a new release, but since his magnificent Berlin School opus, Silent Planet (following 2020’s ‘Northwest Passage’, and 2016’s ‘Apex’), Brendan has been quietly musing on the next evolution of his beloved synthesizer-laden sound.

Until that day arrives, we’re being treated to a recording from one of his rare live appearances, capturing special moments from across his catalog in one expanded set. In a similar style to the extended long-players of early Berlin School masters, Brendan’s live performance follows a similar narrative, traversing an expanse of intensity, pace, and atmosphere with subtle edits and transitions making familiar tracks seem like entirely new passages of time and sound.

“His structures contain all the essential, vital, energising components of electro and techno, but it’s almost as if those elements have been separated and rearranged into discrete, isolated patterns, like an especially abstracted painting by Kandinsky” -

“I think it was one of the deepest and most solitary DJing experiences I have ever been part of, and driving a three and half hour cloud through the pitch darkness was a beautifully liminal journey, caring for the dreams of those in the room, some 100-200 people or so”. - Sa Pa.

Isolatedmix 125 arrives from artist and founder . A recording from a recent Sleep In event in Leipzig featuring the most liminal, horizontal ambient set possible. Now available on the site, Soundcloud, the ASIP podcast and the app.
