WAYVES

“BOT”

released May 24, 2025

Raw, fleeting, disfigured — breaking through the cracks like weeds through concrete.
A rebellion against the self. Against the urge to please, to polish, to resolve.
A controlled fall. A dance between chaos and pattern.

Meant to disorient. To move. To interrupt.

A celebration of not pretending.

This work leans toward a non-dual listening — where no line separates beauty from abrasion, nor pitch from noise. There’s no subject, no object. Only the sound of falling water near a stone. A hum that could be harmony, or just friction made gentle by time.

It draws from Dada not in style but in gesture — refusing meaning as fixed, embracing disruption as form. Like Zen, it invites without asking. The music doesn’t develop — it arrives, disappears, and remains.

This is apophatic sound art — not built on themes, but on the refusal of them.
It doesn’t declare, it negates. Not a construction of beauty, but a slow erosion of its false appearances.
The sound exists as absence made audible — like the gap between waves, or the breath between two conflicting thoughts.

Moki Mcfly – Divin(e)tion: Music in the key of zero

Moki Mcfly – Divin(e)tion: Music in the key of zero
[mhrk442]

Moki Mcfly

“Divin(e)tion: Music in the key of zero”

“This recording is a deliberate act of listening as thinking, a ritual engagement with sound as sovereign and self articulating. It seeks no allegiance to narrative conventions nor does it ask the listener to tether meaning to fixed symbols. This is sound emancipated from the burden of story, a form of nonverbal divination that gestures toward the ineffable. It does not bow to the logic of colonizers or the formulas of consumerist industry. It is sound standing on its own feet, barefoot on ancestral soil.

At the core lies the concept of zero, not as absence but as the fertile void of infinite becoming. Zero is the resonant silence from which all frequencies arise and return, where hierarchy dissolves and one becomes both interpreter and contributor. This recording is less a composition and more a sonic commons: open, recursive and indeterminate. The intention is not to impose meaning but to generate space where meaning can emerge co-creatively. This project rests on a necessary inversion, to listen as an act of collective becoming.

It is what happens when we stop trying to master meaning and instead make space for it to rise on its own, free from human malice.”

Released May 9, 2025 as free (cc) digital download and beautiful limited cassette edition.

Moki Mcfly is a music producer from Manila, Philippines. He is known for his atmospheric instrumental production which incorporates sound elements from nature and extensive use of jazz and tagalog samples. His fondness for acoustic sounds caused his music to come over as unusually nocturnal and warm. Space and texture remain not just formidable, but remarkably relevant aking inspiration from jazz, folk, and experimental as well as the whole canon of electronic music. He has been regarded as ambient, trip hop, some combination of the two, and expiremental. Moki Mcfly prefers to exercise an ideological distance from the genres he usually falls into, while maintaining an organic appreciation for all music forms and styles. His sound is a cross-pollination of the arcane and the futuristic, where he guides you through his train of thought, displacement and discourse. A swank noise of clever phrases, poetic flashcards and split references, even if they’re essentially about nothing in particular where narration is unspoken.

eww

“Hope in Dystopia”

Noise which is not nihilistic mixed with positivity which is gritty. For those who deal with and appreciate the whole.

Perfection looks unnatural and repulsive, but imperfections are beautiful. Pleasure is painful, but healing your wounds is joy.

The album was created and released during a period of turmoil in this world – a global pandemic, an increasing number of wars, an epidemic of propaganda and false news, ever prevalent ignorance, while the AI revolution is elevating shortcomings of our minds to unforeseen levels. There is so much pain in releasing accumulated tensions and yet releasing them is inevitable and necessary, always leading to a relief.

Sundialll – HUB
[YESNO 115]

Sundialll

“HUB”

儀式 振動 招魂術

A co-release between WV Sorcerer and Yes No Wave Music.

Sundialll is a contemporary music group based in Taipei and Bandung, featuring vocalist/feedback artist Alica Han and multi-instrumentalist/electronic musician Rama Saputra. Coming from distinct musical backgrounds, they explore new sonic landscapes beyond their borders, embarking on fictional journeys through music. Their process begins with deconstructing rhyme, rhythm, and noise, drawing inspiration from their roots and folklore.

Sundialll 是一個以台北和萬隆為基地的當代音樂團體,由歌手/反饋者 Alica Han 和多樂器/電子音樂家 Rama Saputra 組成。他們來自不同的世界,通過音樂中的虛構旅程,想像一個超越邊界的新世界,從解構來自根源和民間傳說的韻律、節奏和噪音開始。

HUB is an eight-part live album built on free improvisation, centered around the fictional theme of social ritual. It is inspired by gratitude as a transition through the chaos of urban life and the organic social cohesion that emerges from improvisational language. Celebrating the convergence of diverse identities and places, Sundialll collaborates with sound improvisers Hong-Yu Chen (Xiao, Suona, Suling, Clarinet, Chinese Flute) and Dutch E Germ (Drums, Gong, Percussions), alongside dance improvisers Yu-Ting Tu, Naau Wang, and Ouro Yang. With a slow and silent gaze, we extend a welcoming gesture—“Come in, for the boundaries have been opened” (Bubuka).

《HUB》是一張包含八首即興現場表演的專輯,具有社會儀式的虛構主題。它受到感恩的啟發,作為混亂都市生活過渡的一部分,並反映了即興語言所創造的混合身份的社會凝聚力。慶祝來自不同地方和身份的人們的融合,Sundialll 邀請了兩位聲音即興表演者—陳泓宇(笛、唢呐、竹笛、單簧管、花笛)和 Dutch E Germ(鼓、鍾、打擊樂器),以及三位舞蹈即興表演者—凃于婷 、王芊涵 和 Ouro Yang。以緩慢而寧靜的目光,我們呈現出一個歡迎的姿態—「來吧,邊界已經打開」(Bubuka)

Rani Jambak – VIBRA GENETIKA

Rani Jambak – VIBRA GENETIKA
[YESNO 114]

Rani Jambak

“VIBRA GENETIKA”

VIBRA GENETIKA is a holistic journey that delves into the interconnected dimensions of life. Since 2013, Rani Jambak has embarked on a path to explore the meaning of her cultural identity as a Minangkabau descendant born and raised in Medan. Through this process, she began piecing together fragments of family history, the complexities of her cultural heritage, and the diversity of her surroundings. This journey has not only allowed Rani to understand her connection to tradition and her ancestral land but also to explore the concept of Rantau (migration) as a vital part of the enduring Minangkabau narrative.

As her journey continues, the transformation of a woman’s life into that of a wife and mother has led Rani to discover new dimensions in understanding herself—a transformation of femininity that transcends physical boundaries, aiming toward harmony between body and soul. Each step along this journey forms a crucial element in shaping her worldview, fostering a profound awareness of the interconnectedness between ancestors, nature, and time. This awareness gives rise to reverence for the past, gratitude for the present, and a vision to perceive “future ancestors” as part of an eternal chain of energy.

VIBRA GENETIKA transcends the search for identity. It is a vibration that goes beyond the energy of genetic inheritance—a resonance that lives within the threads of thoughts, emotions, and the universe. It is a manifestation to dive into oneself and to understand ancestral heritage as energy that continues to echo. It carries the legacy of the past to be interpreted into the future. VIBRA GENETIKA is a holistic expression of spiritual journey and the manifestation of life’s resonance itself.

Rani Jambak, a distinguished composer, producer, field recordist, instrument designer, and vocalist of Minangkabau descent from Medan, actively engages in the exploration of electronic music and soundscapes derived from diverse locations across Indonesia. Her body of work frequently addresses themes related to nature, socio-cultural dynamics, and the interrelationship between humans and their ancestral heritage. In recognition of her innovative contributions to sound, music, and technology, Jambak was honored with The Oram Awards in 2022.

Xu + Oberlin – Velvet Meadow Resonance Fragment
[mhrk435]

Xu + Oberlin

“Velvet Meadow Resonance Fragment”

Oberlin is the musical project of Alexander Holtz from Koblenz (Coblence), Germany. The centerpiece of his instruments is a modular eurorack synthesizer, which he often combines with guitar, piano and field-recordings. His music invites the listener to contemplate, it often is developing quite slowly, it never demands to be in a certain focus of attention, but it never tries to fulfil any ambient-clichees in the sense of creating just an aural wallpaper either. It is musical improvisation maybe in a more subtle kind of way. Oberlin has released music on Handstitched*, cosmic winnetou, Thirsty Leaves, Vaagner, Hibernate, Secret Press, AOsmosis, some tapes and downloads by himself and, notably two beautiful cassette albums on Mahorka.

Xu is Nicola Fornasari from Cremona, Italy. He began his musical career in 1995 as the bass player and singer for the hardcore band Entropia. Starting in 2007, he began exploring new musical projects, including Xu(e) (a duo with Andrea Poli), Xu (his solo project), La Petite Vague (a duo with Diego Balconi), and That Which is Not (a duo with Pier Giorgio Storti / Belaqua Shua) in 2020. His music has been released on a variety of labels, including Fluid, Whitelabrecs, Shimmering Moods, Slow Tone Collages, Krysalisound, Eilean, Flaming Pines, Rottenman Editions, Rohs! / Lontano, Twice Removed, Cathedral Transmissions, Triple Moon, Thirsty Leaves Music, Audio Gourmet, Tessellate, Haze, Many Feet Under, Subterranean Tide, and Laverna. He has collaborated with artists such as Darren Harper, Bill Seaman and Francis Gri.

“Velvet Meadow Resonance Fragment” is the third collaborative album between Xu and Oberlin. For this project, Oberlin provided acoustic guitar sketches, asking Xu to process and transform them into the foundation of the tracks. The recordings were then manipulated through a modular Eurorack system or altered using the Samplr iPad app. Oberlin handled the final polishing and mastering. This work marks the first chapter of an ongoing experiment. In the next chapter, currently in progress, it will be Oberlin who develops everything, starting from the material provided by Xu. Stay tuned.

Released March 23, 2025 as free (cc) digital download and beautiful limited cassette edition.

Recorded in the Summer of 2023 in Koblenz, Germany and Cremona, Italy

Fabien Robbe

“Skeudennoù”

Fabien Robbe is a composer and multi-instrumentalist (notably piano, trumpet and synthesizers). Established in the heart of Brittany, France, he rose to prominence with traditional music dance ensemble Menestra. He has transposed elements of this background in ‘trad’ to an eclectic mix of jazz, free improvisation (under the guidance of François Tusques) and experimental electronic music.

“Skeudennoù” is his debut solo album on Mahorka, after 2 collaboration albums with Julien Palomo on the label – their “Feeling for the latch” debut as a duo from 2021 and “Miniatures” from 2024. Julien Palomo is also present here on this album, the last track being an eclectic abstract ambient collaboration with him.

Released March 30, 2025 as free (cc) digital download and in beautiful limited Digipak CD edition.

“Skeudennoù” is perfectly showcasing the notable jazz, traditional music and free improvisation composer and performer’s diverse approaches to the experimental electronic music world, providing for a strikingly fresh and unique listen, a milestone album for Fabien we will be definitely returning to.

Recorded in Brittany between 2020 and 2024 by Fabien Robbe.

sevensy

“one2one”

released March 16, 2025

sevensy (aka Austin Brooks) creates music that directly facilitates imaginal sojourns, wherein the message is the sound itself. sevensy mixes electronic and natural sounds with processed guitars and acoustic instruments. His musical themes ‘unfold into an unusual landscape’ so that it is often impossible to tell where one ends and another begins. sevensy has released his music with Mahorka from the time of the label’s inception and was featured on the first “Music for Elevators” VA compilation in 2004. His debut full-length “Beacon” was released on the label in 2007.

“one2one” is his new, fifth, solo album on Mahorka, following the “Reckoning (Creation)” masterpiece from 2023. This release represents a change of direction in sevensy’s music. Subtle guitar melodies are once again interwoven with harmonic resonances, but this new work features more unitive orchestration in a denser than ever soundbath that leads the listener into a peaceful and introspective quietude.

“We are one, yet simultaneously we are individuated. “one2one” is a series of contemplative pieces that explore thoughts and feelings of oneness and duality, which comprise the paradoxical nature of being human.”

WDX

“Turn It Off And On Again”

released February 22, 2025

WDX’s approach to music highlights ingenuity and dedication to pushing the boundaries of conventional genres. Improvising with edited field recording loops, a bassline generating synth and an array of outboard effects, shows a unique and captivating style that incorporates musique concrète, improvised industrial sounds, and percussions from everyday objects. This creates unique compositions arising from a commitment to using only found sounds and field recordings that transport the listener to new and surreal environments. This approach focuses on the creative process while experimenting with different sounds and effects to create dynamic and engaging sets.

His second album on Mahorka, “Turn It Off And On Again”, named after our favourite IT department advice, was made using sounds of his outboard equipment being, erm, turned off and on again. Lots of clicks and reverb/delay trails with the usual huge bass lines. The track names are cases that ICT have dealt/not dealt with.

Farrux Vekhalayev

“Image of Image”

The cage was perfect. Its six rectangular faces were framed by beams of the finest rays of light–countless lines of all kinds: straight, zigzagging, curved. Each line intersected others at impossible angles and had its own way of being: moments of stillness followed by bursts of vigorous throbbing.
In the center of the room, before a large transparent screen stood two. He was human, or rather whatever was left of him. She was a simulation, immaculate but fragmentary.
“Do you see this?” he asked, pointing to the screen. Only a moment ago, lines like the ones that created the impenetrable boundaries of their space were crawling across it. Now their chaotic pattern transformed into an orderly dance of geometric shapes. Circles, squares, triangles fluttered like dust in the artificial sunlight, subject to an unknown logic.
“This is what music looks like,” her voice shimmered, constantly reassembling itself from the fragments of thousands of other once-heard voices. “A human tool to replay memories—mostly, the ones that never truly existed.”
“I wish I could remember,” he whispered, leaning forward slightly.
Her silhouette trembled, as if shedding a fleeting outline, and then disappeared. A new beam streaked across the screen, rushing into the center of the shifting mass of colors. Сhains of figures collapsed on contact with the foreign element, only to reassemble the moment it moved away.
“It’s an illusion,” she said in her usual expressionless voice, as she regained her form. The lines on the screen were dissolving into a new figure.
“So are we,” he replied, his voice weary, though absent of disappointment.
They stood silently in the room bounded by the geometry of light and emptiness. The music remained a silent vision on the screen.
He, who had forgotten what it meant to remember, and she, who had never known what it meant to be, watched the quiet play of colors and shapes on the virtual canvas without looking away. Somewhere on the other side of the screen, music was playing—a reflection of memories that never existed.

Mantris

“I’m So Many People”

Released December 14, 2024 as free (cc) digital download and limited cassette edition.

It has been almost 30 years since Mantris shared music with the world. Together with Christoph Waelkens he was the driving force behind house outfits The Black Sun and Brown Hardware Inc. Their creative connection led to three consecutive releases in 1992 on cult label Elektron. A productive music career was forecasted, but Mantris vanished into thin air. Until early 2020…

I’m So Many People, his ambient masterpiece debut on Mahorka, encapsulates the idea that we all play various roles throughout our lives. A journey unfolds from darkness to hope. Compared to his earlier albums, this one is even more focused on sound progression, fused with melodies and chords. Anatoly ‘Tokee’ Grinberg has done an excellent job of comprehending and mastering this music to bring out the full range of the sounds generated.

“The album’s journey mirrors our own, from the masks we wear to the ultimate acceptance of our true selves. The journey to the deity is a personal one, and not everyone may complete it.”

“Mga Matang Pumipikit Sa Langit”

Luneta Freedom Jazz Collective is an experimental jazz group from Manila, Philippines. Their first studio album “Ethos”, was recorded and released in 2015, followed by “Inland Empire” in 2017. In 2021 the project debuted on Mahorka with their third album, “Slaves and Masters”.

“Mga matang pumipikit sa langit” (translates to “Eyes closing to the sky”) is their fourth album and second on Mahorka, released December 7, 2024

“Mga pinagbabatayang kaisipan at paniniwala tungkol sa pinakapuso ng kalikasan ng tunay na nandito at umiiral, na nagsisilbi namang pinakasahig ng iba pang mga kaisipan at paniniwala.”

The album as a whole is grounded on the profound engagement with the foundational ideologies and convictions concerning the nature of that which genuinely exists and prevails, serving as the primary basis for all subsequent thoughts and beliefs that underpin human thought and belief. Offering a nuanced perspective, each moment delves into different facets of human cognition, reality, and perception, mirroring how foundational ideologies about reality shape and are shaped by these elements.

Material which is not preferred is the definition of noise. What makes music become noise? When it plays something that is not expected?

What if nothing is being expected, but it is just an experiment of things that did not become music yet? A by-product of exploration of how to explain an idea, before it has manifested.

Neko

“Windfall (Mahorka Edition)”

Refreshed from a year’s meditation and fuelled by a lethal combination of extra strong coffee and those lotus biscuits with the cream in the middle, Neko, the premier act to emerge from Bristol’s thriving Japanese language post rock/electronica micro scene (population 1) are back with “Windfall”, their second EP, following on from their highly acclaimed 2023 debut “King Louie”.

Like most second releases, it’s a more mature collection of songs than its predecessor (fewer songs about 5 a side football, more songs about complicated IT jobs and desperate attempts to avoid middle aged spread) that sees the band, now with vocalist Yuka Suzuki as a full time member, polish and develop their distinctive sound.

Teaming up again with producer Dom Mitchison, the EP’s four tracks are a vibrant melting pot of styles and ideas. Yuka Suzuki’s ethereal vocals are the one constant, through the dreamy “Stack Overflow” and “Kleshas” to the moody guitar lines and Donna Summer style synths of “Almost Forgotten”. The slow-building title track “Windfall” brings the EP to a pounding, cathartic conclusion.

The band will be undertaking a short tour towards the end of November to promote the release, with dates in Cardiff, London and hometown Bristol currently pencilled in. The “Windfall” EP is available for listening on Spotify and other music streaming services, while officially released on Shoredive Records (on CD) and Mahorka (cassette).

The Mahorka Edition cassette includes a whole exclusive B side of spectacular remixes of the original EP tracks by Asshole Galaxy, Tawdry Otter, Brainquake, popon and Suzuki.
