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）

Ciudad de Tar – Liminal
[pn243]
Ciudad de Tar
“Liminal”
They say that somewhere, an impossible city exists. That its inhabitants never fully reveal themselves. In “Liminal”, this new album, amid mists and flashes, Ciudad de Tar appears and disappears. Marco Avilez and José Tomás Molina trace coordinates toward a place that doesn’t appear on any map.
Marco ’s guitars echo like radio signals lost in time, drifting through distortion and reverberation, while José Tomás’s keys, synthesizers, clarinet, and percussion shape shifting landscapes—sometimes minimal, sometimes monumental. What they create isn’t just music; it’s the reconstruction of a myth, the search for a lost geography.
This album is a threshold between worlds. Those who have seen them live know there’s something more—something that eludes the obvious. It’s not just musical synergy; it’s the understanding of those who share a secret.
Perhaps Ciudad de Tar does exist. Perhaps Marco and José Tomás have been there, have walked it’s impossible streets, have heard its murmur. But in a world that pushes us toward predictable paths, that binds us to the tangible, finding it is no easy task. Maybe their music is the only way to remind us it’s still there, waiting for those who dare to seek it.

indigo chamber – indigo chamber
indigo chamber
“indigo chamber”
on the debut ep of indigo chamber, a tension reigns between the urge for escapism and pressing wake-up calls from the real world, which seems to grow more imminent and frightening every day.
finding their retreat in hooky, hypnotic dreampop, the crystalline organs, oceanic synths, waltzy drum machines and languid falsetto vocals don’t seem to disturb the idyllic daydream.
but from under the perfect surface a threat of increasing frustration and dissatisfaction looms, and the ever so safe glass bubble is slowly starting to crack…
40% of this album’s sales will be donated to transvisie (transvisie.nl), an organization representing the interests of transgender and genderdiverse persons in the netherlands.

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
[mhrk436]
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.

Herbsthauch
“Krater”
“Krater” explores Herbsthauch’s experimental side, combining focused synth work with intimate musique concrète and field recording collages. Inspired by recent collaborations with other artists (such as Bunte Luft Trio or Matteo Traverso) this collection showcases refined soundscapes. The title track, “Krater,” incorporates audio from Mars rover Perseverance, while “Hördrift” blends carefully edited field recordings from nature walks and daily life. The remaining three tracks transform modular synth improvisations into powerful drones, dynamic eruptions, and rich sonic textures.

Bohdan Stupak
“Microvariations”
Dark, icy blues and purples dominate the sonic landscape, punctuated by bursts of neon green and pink. Smooth, clean synths evoke the vastness of space, while a steady, pulsing simulates the rhythmic hum of celestial machinery. Faint, whispered textures evoke the mysteries of time, and distant, ethereal choirs whisper secrets of the cosmos. A perfect combination of electronic and electric acoustic.

sevensy – one2one
[mhrk434]
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.”

DJ Scotch Egg – SCOTCH SAMBAL
[YESNO 113]
DJ Scotch Egg
“SCOTCH SAMBAL”
DJ Scotch Egg’s SCOTCH SAMBAL marks an exciting milestone—celebrating 20 years of his boundary-pushing electronic music career. Known for his pioneering work in chiptune and gabba, Scotch Egg captivated listeners in the early 2000s with his high-energy 8-bit sound, often creating brutal, fast-paced music with a Nintendo Game Boy. Over time, however, his sonic palette expanded far beyond chiptune, shifting towards experimental sounds rooted in hip-hop, trap, dancehall, and African-inspired rhythms. Ishihara’s work over the last 5 years has been characterized by insatiable cultural, musical and artistic exchanges with artists across Southeast Asia and Africa.
Now based in Berlin, Scotch Egg’s evolution is also reflected in his collaborations and various aliases, notably as part of the duo WaqWaq Kingdom, blending traditional Japanese music with cutting-edge electronics, and Scotch Rolex.
His work has been released on labels such as Wrong Music, Load Records, Nyege Nyege Tapes and SVBKVLT.
In 2023, Scotch Egg’s collaborator Mo’ong Santoso Pribadi (Raja Kirik, Takkak Takkak) introduced him to the creative haven of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, setting him up with a residency. What followed was an explosive fusion of cultural exchanges, facilitated by Wok the Rock of Yes No Wave Music. Surrounded by local musicians, Mr Egg dove into genres like Dangdut, Funkot and Koplo, and the gamelan that floats in the air of every street. Uncovering these fresh influences infused his signature 8-bit intensity with the sun-soaked psychedelia of Southeast Asia. He collaborated with local artists such as TerbujurKaku and BHKT. Indonesian icon Y-DRA (Raja Kirik) and his partner Asa guided him through the vibrant world of Indonesian TikTok trends, the music of Sumatera, and even sent him on wild, unforgettable trips to witness traditional Jathilan performances in remote villages. All of this brought new energy to his music.
While SCOTCH SAMBAL wasn’t initially intended as an album, the vibrant, unrestrained atmosphere of Yogyakarta helped create something special: a playfully eccentric fusion of high-energy gabber and tropical, upbeat psychedelia. The result is an addictive, multi-layered sound that’s more than just a musical experience—it’s a joyful celebration of cultural fusion, capturing the spirit of the tropical paradise that inspired it.
Now, with SCOTCH SAMBAL, DJ Scotch Egg brings the heat—literally and metaphorically—delivering an electrifying mix with that extra spice you didn’t know you needed.

“MY MEMORY”
Japanese electronic and improvisational artist TaUYu DeShiI crafts an atmospheric soundscape inspired by a journey through Okinawa’s remote islands.
“MY MEMORY” was created mid-trip, the album blends ambient electronica with fluid improvisation, evoking a sense of movement and discovery.
Soft synth textures and organic sound elements mirror the islands’ mystique, capturing fleeting moments of travel. The music radiates exoticism, not as a concept but as a lived experience.
Fans of ambient and minimal electronic music will find this release immersive—an invitation to drift through sound, just as the artist drifted through the islands.

WDX – Turn It Off And On Again
[mhrk431]
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.
