Back in 2014 when Cheese N Pot-C first began releasing music here at blocSonic, one of my first requests was for Cheese to deliver a solo DJ / cut album. With turntablism skills of his caliber, I knew it’d be an incredible thing to hear. I long hoped he’d deliver but never pressured. Well today that moment has arrived with the release of “Barnaby Comes Alive!!!”! I have to tell you, when I found out about the project and got to hear it, I was giddy like when I was a teenager and first listening to one of my favorite hip-hop artist’s new albums! I hope you enjoy it as much as I’ve been!
Yo Cheese!!! You wrecked shit! So hyped to finally drop this cut albulation!
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!
“Microorganisms” is a project that focuses on the innovation and composition of new sounds constructed from the cultivation of bacteria and fungi. A laboratory endeavor headed by the artist, based on recording the growth of organisms and their patterns of movement, which are then processed to give rise to sounds and, eventually, music.
While keeping technology very close at hand, Cass Nova also turns to more indigenous sounds, delivered by instruments with Latin American roots (such as Kultrún and Trutruka), which are recorded organically and which coexist in their respective musical pieces with scientific experimentation.

The latest addition to xenonyms’ catalogue is the debut release from L3T3 a 23 year old producer from the city of Cracow, where he lives and creates. CARE EP is an exciting piece of contemporary music influenced by various genres such as witch house, coldwave and experimental music.
L3T3 carefully selects his sounds on this EP in an attempt to render the processes that take place in his body, mind & soul. His music also offers a personal take on the concepts of post-humanity, the expanding of sensual experiences and a new era of hi-tech.
L3T3 is also a member of the OVER SEERS collective.
This time Circuitnoise explores the coronal loops of the sun. The magnetic flux within the solar body gets twisted and mangled and create these giant loops. These loops of fire are emitting electromagnetic pulses, which could be recorded by radio telescopes all over the world.
On the search for new sounds Circuitnoise uses the electromagnetic sounds of the sun and combine them with electromagnetic fieldrecordings from earth to a dark, rumbling and screaming sound collage.
The coronal loops of noise is a trilogy consisting of the recordings matter, fusion and core.
recorded by Jens Rosenfeld in Darmstadt in November 2017
mixed and mastering by Jens Rosenfeld in May 2018
Collaboration between Toni Dimitrov and Dominic Razlaff, aka DR.
Field recordings made by Toni Dimitrov in Macedonia at various locations and then layered and processed using granular synthesis, ukulele and synthesizer by DR. Final arrangements by both artists.
Part of a series of collaborative works by these two prolific soundscape designers.
Released 14 July for Netlabel Day 2018.
The Portuguese Wal Thisney is one of the main protagonists of the underground world of netlabels, a tireless producer of beautiful records and accessible to all through the name your price formula.
His works have been released on many of the world’s best netlabels, and we are very honored to publish his work. His music is something that could be called neo classical, and it is a pleasure to be enjoyed calmly and without haste, letting everything flow.
Wal Thisney is the demonstration that out of the market there are beautiful music, made by characters who deserve great attention.
Special thanks to Walt Thisney.
The Paint follows up last year’s Vulpiano single Lay Down with a surreal and melancholy single, “Change”. The b-side “Flashlight” lifts the mood into an echoey dreamscape.
The Paint’s single rounds off this year’s very special Netlabel Day. Big thanks to everyone for participating and all of the listeners out there.
Ölü Körpe vol. 3 – Larynx
—–
Side Notes:
Why larynx?
Maybe because it’s the first musical instrument us humans knew in our entire life.
This is an attempt to make compositions (and also to make peace) with my voice as building blocks; still, it is hard to tame.
Except for the last track. I had fun playing with free piano app on my phone, and it complements and compliments the end result quite a bit.
Also shout out to my old friend from years back, Ms. Bamby C. who now resides in Jakarta; utmost gratitude for the permission to use some of her excellent writings for lyrics/general ideas throughout this release.
Tracks:
1. Calling All Gods On Deck (0:58)
2. Commute/Commune (3:00)
3. Zalongo/To Whom It May Concern (5:00)
4. She Was There/She Was Listening (7:00)
Frozen Clinamen is a new serie of works started by Failure Circle (a solo project of Kecap Tuyul) in autumn 2017. It follows a simple method inspired by the the possibilities of his no-input mixer set-up and the will to use a limited sound material in a posteriori compositions. Frozen Clinamen #1 was recorded and mixed between november 2017 & june 2018.
Methodology
step (1) Tweaking the set-up until it produces some seemingly autonomously self-sustained sound sequences.
step (2) Stopping tweaking and recording for at least 20 minutes without any intervention on the set-up.
step (3) Repeating steps (1) & (2) several times.
step (4) Using the generated sounds as only source in a posteriori compositions. The only variations used while mixing are equalization, panoramics and volume levels.
step (5) play it at low/high volume with open/closed window while complety asleep / fully conscious.
