whispers from the cradle
Running highway through the night-time-cold, morning rainbow in a narrow snow-edged road, slim curves claiming skills and then the mountains, as seen from above
hearth at the heart of the earth
Labouring the harvest at the core of it all, something introspectivally experimental will burn, not by guilt but for one last bloom
far out camp
Dubious map of our own reality, whisking through the wind the directions of divine fatality
around and about
Way off the passing tunnel, there is a moment in time for the glimpse of eternity, now is when we all meet again
olhar em Van Gogh
Tudo para trazer os corvos da aurora, a distante primavera em sensação de luz pela manhã
Musica Fractal Aeterna
All we know without knowing, unexpected clue, this is a mirror through the eternal archive, where one contemplates the whole journey
cobaia nova
Surge dentro de um (corpo) em todas as direcções e todas as formas, divide-se em coisa enorme que enfrenta tudo e que tudo une
Sou uma cobaia, com todas as forças (do bolor) e não quebra, uma cobaia (dentro de) todas as direcções
O globo em chamas exclusivas, uma cobaia em todos os sentidos, uma cobaia da minha lógica
Sou uma cobaia da minha inteligência, em todos os sentidos e em todas as direcções
Cobaia, em todos os átomos (a) espuma furiosa, a chuva como pedra, sou uma cobaia (a vida é nisto) obrigada ao meu corpo
Sou uma cobaia dentro do meu corpo, uma cobaia a transbordar da minha alma
Que ruge, estoira, vence e quebra, dentro do meu corpo uma cobaia a transbordar da minha alma
Que ruge, estoira, vence e quebra, sou uma cobaia dentro do meu corpo, uma cobaia a transbordar da minha alma
Que ruge, estoira, vence e quebra
Et Caetera: clean air and clean water
This is the ultimate well-being, the turn of a last resource, the tune from a fullfilled drop of a life-time, period. Accept the cycle, it is in the hands of receiving, the clean air, the clean water, etc.
Run Lab Dub
Let us all come to an end but not without an extended moment of joy for being alive, rejoyce with the manifestation of all the invisible sightseeings
We’re proud of the release of Emray 10th anniversary album from Finland.

Una serie de snippets a lo chopped and screwed, sobre beats, techno y samplers organizados en un caos unitario. La sustancia elemental se basa en el sin rumbo presente, que funciona como acompañante. La distorsión rebajada serrana danza en una digitación ininterrumpida. El baile habla con la escucha, mientras el ritmo asegura la discontinuidad. La naturaleza ecléctica se hace presente en un ruido de fondo que no sabe comunicar, sobre la elegía continua de la post actualidad. Este presente lo dedico a quienes supieron y saben, resistir y disfrutar.

“Reinvention of the Sacred” is a musical consideration of the after-effects of the ‘god is dead’ idea on Western society. Nothing has replaced the ideals represented in the best of spiritual thought, and our behaviours have changed as a result. For some, there is no longer any reason to behave in an ethical manner, nothing to live up to. The vacuum left by the decline in the perceived importance of the spiritual search calls for a reevaluation of what has meaning, what is important.
The music that comprises “Reinvention of the Sacred” is very minimalistic, almost ‘not here’ at times. This approach was taken in an attempt to aurally depict a non-dual continuum, wherein there is no separation between matter and Spirit, profane and divine.

Mahorka is more than a label, it is also a place where artists meet and collaborate. Sven Lemke (Sven Phalanx, Andreas Davids + Sven Phalanx, Schattenspiel, Schwarzwald) and Marc Ceulemans (Brainquake, Zonevreemd, Toxic Derwish, Psych Krist Kastrator) have both had already outstanding contributions to the catalog when Marc was invited to remix Sven’s “Klangtherapie” for the special remix album (mahorka.org/release/288) and they got to know and meet each other. Since they had many similarities in background and musical preference, they decided to compose and produce something together. This collaboration worked just perfectly and soon they suprised the label with the ten tracks of “From The Oblivion Lounge” album as presented here. From desolate ambient and rough rhythmic experimental to technoid industrial, they made this all sound very different but coherent. We can hear a lot of both of them here, but also something completely different, befitting the harshness of today’s society.

With his third album Hypnos drives us on a journey of sonic invasion, a journey into the personal ways of the artist in dealing with narcissistic and vindictive behavior in our society, where we are constantly exaggerating our life stories and achievements in an aura of overinflated importance, to the point that we become defensive when questioned or when someone challenges our conscious or subconscious idea of superiority.
“Vindictiveness” is Hypnos’ most structured, most complex release to date, revealing yet another side of the project, inspired by club techno aesthetics, with constructions derived from and building on early rave music rhythms and sequences and everything merged into swathes of ambient fields of long, calm and heavy drones.

Few of the music projects of Boban Ristevski (also known as Lefterna) are concentrated and based on exploring mostly the ambient / drone and industrial / noise related kinds of music. With elements of minimalism / improvisation / abstraction, etc.; the music is balancing between the more structured forms and the improvised approach.
Philippe Neau creates mental landscapes (“mental-scapes”, if you want). In his music he makes them up of non-narrative sounds, atonal melodies, worrifying glitches, organic textures, hollow field-recordings, abstract notes, abyssal echoes and whispered distant voices. A “disturbing” atmosphere, tinged brightness and darkness, takes shape and enfolds the listener / viewer.
“Boban contacted me for a collaboration. We exchanged files over the Internet and worked on our own, knowing each other’s work, with the idea of creating something that mixes our sound universes. Maybe some sort of stormy, industrial landscape.
In my head, this collaboration could bring more industrial sounds to my interior landscape, take on a more noisy, metallic dimension.” –Philippe Neau
The Dolphins of Venice resurface to allow a rare glimpse into the inner workings of their collectively shambolic yet soothing soundscaping. Drums clatter and disjointed voices echo in and out of fashion. Synths pulse and ebb to a timecode never known above the salty waves. Will you join the dolphins for some brief relief from gravity and bipedal pressure – sink beneath the water and float weightlessly if only for a short time.

“The teknoiz commitment” is Autonomaton’s second full length on Mahorka, coming out 7 years after his debut “Polarsternritual” from the start of 2015. In between we have continuously collaborated, having him featured on the “Music for elevators vol.5” and “Eastern Depths IV” VA compilations, remixing krāllār, Protuberance, Teeth of Divine, Sven Phalanx, collaborating with Abu Ama on his recently released “TOTEM” album, and releasing 2 EPs – “Picture in Picture” and “The Underwater Fires”. This new album also features collaborations with Abu Ama and (a very rare occasion) label manager Ivo Petrov (under once upon a time artistname skylined), sampling of Bryn Jones (a.k.a. Muslimgauze), a Vangelis tribute/rework and opening and closing tracks from the very personal alter-ego Tribes of fishes.
But what is teknoiz? “It is universal (in relation to the universe) electronic music. It is the teknological sound of the movement of all particles in their dance through the cosmos. The movement is chaotic and in all dimensions of space. It is not controlled and does not come down to point movements, it is just there, in the whole evolution. The sound comes from each atom and its subparticles after the big bang, the music is an echo of the creation of the universe. But why teknoiz? Because it before everything is tekno, think of the teknological process of creation and, of course, of the term techno. Noiz – because it’s not crystal clear, it’s not and cannot be explicitly defined in spectral and time domains, its roar comes on all frequencies from all angles of the known and unknown cosmos. Set your receivers and hear it all – a convolution of the crazy dance of the particles around and throughout us as living citizens of the universe, an obscure long delayed echo of the fanfares of creation and the symphony of drones of existence.”
Nothing tastes as GOOD as a BAD SOUNDS × 3.

“TOTEM” is Abu Ama’s most personal and most varied release to date, a heavy trip through his musical ways, moments and directions, a stunning album that has been in preparations and waves of reiterations for almost as long as the earliest incarnations of some of the songs were done and, finally, towards the end of 2021, reached the stable form, monumentized on a limited edition of two c90 tapes.
released December 24, 2021
“Abu Ama’s new album TOTEM is a feast for the ears and eyes. Abu Ama, the driving force behind Arabxo, brings dub, experimental, Arabic and Sufi dub in one. On this beautiful double binding he gives an overview of his work. A beauty of an album. As I have known Abu for a long time, full of dedication, always innovative, he takes this album to an amazing height.” — Pedro Maras a.k.a. BedouinDrone
“Abu Ama is an uprising worldwide artist in dub kind of music but presented in his very unique way and style. He’s giving it many names. Lets point out “arabxo”, as an abstract mixture of futuristic middle eastern scapes, voices and instruments with subsonic echoes of dubbed out bass. Sound manipulations far beyond the known in all its features. New and retrospective sounding at the same time. Messages in pads and atmospheres brought in a dub manner. All tunes recorded in one shot, one version at a time. Far further and further in dub science innovation his own way, Abu gladly represents his gypsy roots and creates his own roots mixture of beats and sounds that takes you on a journey with each tune. Each track has individual soul that can be literary felt from the speakers. Each tune carries different specific message, either spiritual, soul, social, ecological, political or related to many different things of today’s earth life he cares about. Abu is displaying a channel of communication between his soul and you, the receiver, whose radio is set to receive this frequent waves of music. Music at its best. Music representing earth and universe at the same moment. All computer made, all dubs and overdubs compiled and arranged as perfect matter wall of sound. Welcome to the world of Abu Ama and dance till you get excited and incredibly overjoyed with warmth and wealth.” –esoundc a.k.a. Autonomaton

Bobby Jewell is a musician and ambient dj/radio show host on Resonance Extra and elsewhere and “Songs to the cistern” is his artist debut on Mahorka that was assembled and finalised during the last year specially for the label and also comes out as special limited cassette edition.
“This EP is made from scraps of sounds from various harddrives, phone videos, field recordings and youtube links over the past eight years. Stitching these parts together was just as much down to chance as it was intent and any additional music made to accompany serves sunderpin the found sound or sample. Though I hesitate to say ‘scrapbook’ or ‘collage’ hopefully these tracks point more at importance of wearing your influences on your sleeve working with the media that surrounds you rather than stressing your own individuality against it”

Compilado especial de Kriptonîa, que reúne dos singles del conjunto chileno “Reina Luisa”.
Los inicios de Reina Luisa se remontan a 2015, cuando comenzaron a desarrollar este proyecto ligado al synth-pop y electro-pop bailable, con letras que ellos catalogan como “cargadas de crítica social y abordadas desde una melancolía propia de nacer en una ciudad donde llueve todo el tiempo”. A lo largo de su trayectoria, han sido reconocidos como la mejor banda de la Región de Los Lagos por el INJUV en 2015 y elegidos la mejor banda de Osorno, luego de participar en un certamen producido por Balmaceda Arte Joven en 2016.
Durante estos años, han publicado el EP de cuatro canciones, “El tibio calor del sol cuando se apaga” (2017), y “Osorno” (2018), un LP de nueve temas producido por Gonzalo López (Los Bunkers). Asimismo, han teloneado a Chancho en Piedra, Fernando Milagros y abrieron la celebración de los 30 años del Festival de Los Abrazos, en el Parque O´Higgins, donde participaron artistas como Kike Neira, Inti-Illimani, Los Prisioneros y Moral Distraída, entre otros.
