“We welcome back long time contributor John Beers aka Luciftias with a new album of subtle droning ambient, featuring contributions of his cousin and collaborator Caleb Beers. Like most of their work, Staring Into Oblivion is based on guitar sounds, often heavily treated but more recognizable on some tracks here – always hypnotic.”
Moki Mcfly describes “Tabernacle Sanctuary Alligator Soufflé”, his 7th blocSonic release, as “a token of creative cross-pollination, assimilating influences from a multitude of origins”. That hits the nail on the head. A culmination of years of influences and experience, the new eleven track album is a sonic joy to listen to.
Moki goes on to say “At its core, the driving force of jungle and drum and bass forms a rhythmic foundation that propels the sonic narrative forward with an invigorating cadence. The interaction between these varied components cultivates a layered auditory experience, the intrinsic swing and bounce derived from Memphis rap harmoniously converge with the pulsating energy of electronic rhythms. Intertwining the resonant harmonies reminiscent of the soulful era of the 1970s. These harmonies evoke sentiment, weaving an emotional tapestry that resonates across time. It serves as a conduit between genres and decades, evoking a sense of musical nostalgia while breathing fresh life into the sonic landscape.”
So whatever you do, be sure to download and listen to this fantastic new album. Please enjoy & spread the word.
Moki… thanks for another incredible album! You never disappoint.
Of course, thanks once again to you for downloading & listening. We always strive to deliver the music you’ll love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do. Remember… everything we release is cool to share! Always keep the music moving… share it… blog it… podcast it! If you’re in radio… support independent music and broadcast it!

The album “Cells for Replication” by Yadak immediately captures attention, generating a deep emotional connection from the body, primitive and animalistic. Its sound envelops and invites the listener to immerse themselves in an existence that flows in waves, awakening profound states that are increasingly restless and connecting with internal places that express themselves in intimacy. I can’t separate it from the image; it moves, transitions, evolves, it carries you… As I listen, oscillating landscapes slowly unfold, swaying between stillness and darkness, then gliding towards crystalline lights and fluid pulses. Yadak‘s sonic gestures manifest in imaginary landscapes, full of texture and color. I feel as if I’m traveling through time, traversing vibrant and diverse atmospheres that are almost palpable. At certain moments, the music emerges with a hypnotic intensity, shifting tones and providing sharpness and timbral brilliance even in the darkest segments. That contrasting luminosity of textures resembles a glow that sparkles in a deep blue twilight. The chiaroscuro is ever-present, carried by mechanical impulses that convey a sense of different spatial planes, with a manifest intention to take us on the journey to the end.
“Cells for Replication” obeys nothing more than its own emotion, and it drags you through time with determination. The music permeates attention, generating an immersive sensory experience, playing with images of our era, human beings, life, and artificial intelligence. It’s impossible not to feel the territorial vastness it proposes, situating the physical sensation in this subtle yet robust imaginary landscape. The rhythms carry you forward, anchoring a precise point of contemplative stillness while awakening memory. As I approach the end of the album, an image appears in which the sea is close. In my mind, I can almost imagine what it would be like to immerse myself in it. I breathe deeply and ponder the question: how can one not be carried away?

This mixture of climates with apparent sequences is very well coordinated, there is a profound sense of melancholy with sparks of light, as if to say that you can still float and see positive things in a dark ocean.

3 free WAV tracks of deep minimal techno and ambient music for monoKraK netlabel (http://www.monokrak.net)
mastering by Pheek (https://audioservices.studio)
Recorded live the 17th July 2023 in the Cave Haven in Foucherans (france).
The same day than Orpheus Secret by REfugEEs From Beyond.
Well it was a very warm day of summer and we were very happy to play again together*…
Also this is perhaps the very last recording of Multiple Personality 3, that’s why it sounds sometime closer to PIRATE Tapes
*Halas it was a so small cellar to host five people like us inside without to be a total mess. It could be our worst improvisation session ! Like 5 elements unable to play together… till the last track when we remain only 3. I apologize I should have read first the combo name “Multiple Personality 3” and understand that to play in trio is the best line-up for us.
Loosely based on the Book Of Mutations…

The Necrophile Hummingbird Netlabel & HAMFUGGI Records present Coil Whine Memorial by Yoshiwaku.
“Uncoil Music for Coil Lovers”
Years ago before The Immortal Coil tribute, in 2005, after the disparition of Jhonn Balance, I had contributed under the moniker of CorteX with IDX1274 to Full Cold Moon a tribute by netlabel Darkwinter.
Coil wasn’t really music but more a kind of ritualist performance, the shapes were secondary face to the essence. And this tribute was a kind of panorama, around the world at that time, of some of the experimenters with this spirit.
Few months before the death of Peter Sleazy Christopherson I wrote to him and he was interested to contribute to the next Necktar. Perhaps Necktar 2017 and next Pikadon and The World is Over! were quite close
to be the creations of another kind of TOPY Network. Anyway these words are here to try to show how I feel related to Coil and why so many years later today I need to pay my tribute to Coil.
What is really alive need to die to let live the next one. Life is this cycle.
Last but not least A Symbiotic Experience is a huge inspiration for this album…
Lyrics on Psychic Transmission taken from Coil documents collected by Brainwashed website.
This album is dedicated to every mutant who removed their skin each time needed to birth again.

La cinta libre del tiempo fue grabada una tarde de mayo, con las conversaciones de los pájaros, y el rumor de un barrio en su cotidianidad; las tomas instrumentales fueron ejecutadas una sola vez, con la premisa de no re-grabar ni editar, sin fade-in|fade-out, “es lo que es”. La jornada de grabación se realizó en Brújula Invisible Galería, La Falda, CBA, Argentina. El disco fue ejecutado con una antigua guitarra de Mario Salinas, Mexico [1981] modificada a 8 cuerdas (dos volantes graves) por el luthier Guillermo Aguer y charango del luthier Jorge Espinosa
