Toxic Chicken – Radio Reveries
[earthrid-031]
Toxic Chicken
“Radio Reveries”
Breezy beats and relaxing reflections inspired by listening to Beachy Head Radio. https://beachyheadradio.com/
Most of these tracks were recorded in one go, as inspiration struck. The bass, core melodies and rhythms were created on the Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator 33, to which was added a sprinkling of sounds from other gadgets, and samples of Kai’s own voice for percussion purposes.
Toxic Chicken is Dutch musician, composer, visual artist and all-round good egg Kai Nobuko. Besides being a keen listener to Beachy Head Radio, he presents one of the music shows on BHR, ‘Funderground’.

Vulpiano Records Sampler EP – Vol. 17
[VULP-0227]
Vulpiano Records Sampler EP
“Vol. 17”
Vulpiano Records is proud to present a sprawling chronicle of the transcendent compositions released through the label during 2022, including Netlabel Day, by our generous and talented collaborators for a singular listening experience.
There is a continuous sonic motif of the sublime, and the possible impressions within contain multitudes: time and place, knowing, chaos, Gaia, the vastness of space, death, life, suffering, nirvana…In the long traditions of drone and ambient music, it is a canvas for the listener and an acoustic salve that opens channels new and subtly re-wires our senses.
Breathing out while listening, you sense the artists vaporizing and reshaping the rubble of the last few years – gifting us precious moments to do the same.
The label will likely be on hiatus for the rest of 2023 while we regroup and ascertain where to go from here.

4T Thieves – The Shipping Forecast
[mhrk357]
4T Thieves
“The Shipping Forecast”
Nik (4T Thieves) has been putting out beautiful electronic music since the early demoscene days. He also, quite notably, has been the manager of Kahvi Collective since 2001, which has gone from strength to strength and definitely arrived at ‘cult’ status in the scene. In 2015 we had his Mahorka debut releases – “Mahorka netlabel day mashup” and “Glass EP”. Since then we’ve had 10 attributed to 4T Thieves releases, one of which on digipak CD – the already classic “Hauntology” from 2019.
In 2023 we are more than happy to be releasing his second digipak CD on Mahorka – “The Shipping forecast”, a stellar new album and also special collaborative project, which features, besides 9 new beautiful 4T Thieves original tracks, remixes of some of them from Room of Wires, Abdicant, Pandacetamol, Weldroid and Tim Koch.
Released July 8, 2023 as free (cc) digital download and special limited edition digipak CD.

Roberto Vodanović Čopor – Lost Weekend
[mhrk356]
Roberto Vodanović Čopor
“Lost Weekend”
“Lost weekend” is the latest project of Croatian artist Roberto Vodanović Čopor, that uses field recordings of local people’s speech, underwater hydrophone recordings and contact microphone recordings to explore the diversity of sounds and the identity of the island of Vis.
Through experimentation with the collected audio elements, the artist has created a sound map of the island, showing its uniqueness and encourages listeners to get a deeper understanding of this special place through this work.
Undersea hydrophone recordings bring the sounds of the deep and the life in the waters around Vis. Through the sounds of marine organisms, air bubbles, noise currents and other sound phenomena, listeners get an insight into the diversity of the undersea. Contact microphone recordings of vibrations and sounds transmitted through the metal surfaces of the ferry connecting the island and the mainland were can also be heard – engine sounds, passenger footsteps and other characteristic sounds.
Released July 4, 2023
All field recordings, contact microphone and hydrophone recordings, as well as recordings of various objects/sources were done by Roberto Vodanović Čopor.

Fabio Keiner
“Aokigahara Jukai”
Introducing “Aokigahara Jukai”. Second collaboration from Austrian producer Fabio Keiner for Virtual Soundsystem. Dark ambient and drones inspired by the famous Aokigahara “suicide forest” located at the base of Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.
“The titles of the tracks are phrases from the Buddhist ‘heart sutra’ (there is no beginning of suffering / there is no end of suffering / there is no suffering / and there is no path (of escape) either”)

stbl – Ghost In The Mirror
stbl
“Ghost In The Mirror”
“Ghost in the mirror” is an eclectic set of down-tempo electronic tracks running between luminous and dramatic passages. After the last ambient albums, this time there is a more rhythmic approach. Here, deep pads and long reverbs mix with organic percussion and other crazy beats, more predictable and expected.
The ep closes with a track without rhythm that returns to experimentation and a certain darkness, perhaps as an end to this experience.

Cognition Delay – Mostly Dreaming
[mhrk354]
Cognition Delay
“Mostly Dreaming”
Cognition Delay is a duo of US artist Jeremy Rice (Abdicant, Curious Inversions) and UK artist Paul Alexander (Pandacetamol, Fluffy Inside) who as Kahvi Collective label mates admired each other’s contrasting approaches in music and felt compelled to collaborate. Their defining “Strange Sedatives” album (from 2022 on Rednetic) continues to amaze and has shown that Cognition Delay is a unique meeting of musical mindsets. While they have never met in-person, Paul & Jeremy have found a collaborative sweet spot that melds their respective solo projects into something new and shiny. A refined sound, within an undefined genre.
It is with pride and delight, for both the artists and the label, that their new “Mostly Dreaming” album appears on the Mahorka imprint, released June 17, 2023 as free (cc) digital download and beautiful limited digipak CD edition with outstanding artwork by Jeremy Rice.
Analog layers, hypnotic passages, half-heard conversations, morphing rhythms, fuse with thrilling bursts of unexpected melody. The experience is deep, immersive, ethereal, even vaguely nostalgic.
Repeated listens will yield hidden sonic treasure. Truly a soundtrack for your dreams.
Composed and produced by: Paul Alexander & Jeremy Rice
