We welcome and congratulate Koichiro Okada for his first release on Pertin-nce.
This album has it all; pure techno, house and electronica.
Raw, groovy, moody, fun, dance floor oriented and dj friendly but also appropriate for more relaxed situations.

I hope you will enjoy it as much as i do.

dagshenma – nut(s)

Experimental artist Dagshenma returns to MiMi Records with his new album titled nut(s) — an intense dive into the emotional and sensory cacophony of contemporary life.

Blending elements of noise, ambient, and musique concrète, nut(s) gives voice to inner disorder — a sonic confusion that unsettles and liberates in equal measure. The work challenges the listener to find beauty in noise, and structure within rupture.

Dagshenma, known for exploring the outer edges of conventional music, once again delivers a stimulus to strangeness, much like in his previous album Kyoto Japan Walk.

nut(s) is less an album and more an experience – a lucid cacophony that turns chaos into art.

nosomoso

“rift”

nosomoso – rift

Japanese artist nosomoso delivers a work of ambient electronic music marked by subtlety and depth. Drawing from the click and cuts universe and structured around slow-paced rhythms, the album builds minimalist soundscapes where each sound seems to emerge organically and precisely. Rhythmic elements are discreet, almost imperceptible, yet essential to the flow of the compositions.

There are echoes of introspective IDM, with textured glitches and ethereal melodies blending naturally into the stillness. Rather than aiming for tension or climax, Rift embraces calmness as a driving force, allowing motion to unfold through the smallest details – clicks, noises, electronic breaths.

The result is a contemplative and sensitive album, where the natural movement of sounds arises from silence, revealing a mature and refined piece of work that values space and time as core sonic elements.

Atsuto Yamamoto

“1 plus 0 is more or less equal to 10”

Atsuto Yamamoto – 1 plus 0 is more or less equal to 10

It’s the first album of 2025 and the debut work of Japanese artist Atsuto Yamamoto, known for exploring the boundaries of noise and harsh noise.

“1 Plus 0 Is More or Less Than 10” is an album built on layers of saturated noise, abrasive frequencies, and unsettling moments of silence. Each track seems to exist on the threshold between everything and nothing, between “1” and “0,” evoking the idea that even extremes can overlap, distort, or lose definition.

Yamamoto employs a combination of analog synthesizers, manipulated recordings, and custom-built equipment to create sonic textures that feel tangible, almost as if the sound could be physically felt on the skin.

Prepare yourself for a unique experience. “1 Plus 0 Is More or Less Than 10” is not an album to be merely heard – it is an album to be confronted.

Ryo Kawawada – Paludarium

We have another debut on MiMi Records. Japanese artist Ryo Kawawada brings us “Paludarium”, an ambient and introspective album that blends the softness of acoustic guitar with natural sounds, creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere.

Kawawada uses the guitar delicately, creating subtle sonic layers that evoke images of peaceful landscapes, like a walk through a swamp. The album conveys a sense of calm, yet maintains a slight tension, inviting deep listening.

With a minimalist approach, “Paludarium” is a work that celebrates the connection with nature and the ability of music to create hypnotic and evocative soundscapes.

Mimamamis

“Calvary”

Mimamamis – Calvary

Calvary, the latest work from the Japanese project Mimamamis, is a deep dive into the abyss of harsh noise, a true auditory calvary that pushes the listener to the limits of sonic endurance.

The album, consisting of just three tracks, brings chronic feedback, massive distortions, and extreme saturation. Each track is an attempt to force the listener to confront the discomfort of repetitive, brutally compressed sounds.

Mimamamis makes no concessions, and the result is a work that approaches the concept of calvary: an unrelenting journey that is difficult to endure, yet fascinating at the same time. In terms of structure, the tracks of Calvary are minimalist, but not in a conventional sense. They slowly build in heavy layers of noise, creating a sense of suffocation and oppression.

In summary, Calvary by Mimamamis is a radical work within the harsh noise genre, distinguished by its ability to provoke discomfort, pushing the listener to confront their own emotional resistance to the brutality of the sound.

Gnyonpix – Hyakunenme EP

Hyakunenme EP is the latest release from Gnyonpix, who dives into the world of chiptune in an innovative and engaging way. Combining the retro aesthetic of 8-bit music with a contemporary production style.

The four tracks are a true journey through time, capturing the energy of classic ’80s and ’90s video games, but with an added layer of sophistication.

While chiptune is often associated with instrumental themes, Gnyonpix incorporates vocals in a subtle yet effective way, as seen in the title track “Hyakunenme,” which also gives its name to the EP.

Hyakunenme EP is an album that captures the essence of chiptune and 8-bit music, offering a true tribute to the digital aesthetic, but with a forward-thinking approach to the future of electronic music.
