Okmiracle – New Old Loops
Okmiracle
“New Old Loops”
Prickly and hissing, filled with piano parts, melancholic, and sometimes cheerful and soft mood. Ready to penetrate into the farthest corners of consciousness and leave a strange aftertaste there. The album is made of long-recorded and suddenly found piano samples and various room noises and sounds.

Toshiaki Ooi
“Uw2”
yes guys ogredung has also an xmas present for you, with a small delay yea but always a present.
as soon as we received this track we literally fell in love with it, intelligent, a little bit melancholy, perfectly fitting with xmas.
exactly as we love.
the main, mellow, soft melodies are dressed with bleeps and click surrounding mech bdrums, into an eternal loop we truly hope will never end.
but it ends, it’s broken, and we cannot help but pressing play on tape again.

Epifonias – Mensajes de Voz
[pn202]
Epifonias
“Mensajes de Voz”
“Mensajes de Voz” (Voice messages) is Epifonías’ first album and it is an experimental proposal that focuses its search on the construction of a sound narrative that explores the joints in the affective relationship between two individuals crossed by listening, visuality and queerness, and additionally it is a blow of intimacy in thereceiver’s listening.
From an exploration that integrates sounds from various sources such as soundscape, synthesizers, digital samples…and properly voice messages from personal files, the duet formed by Arsan and Sisiphonus creates a sound space that fluctuates between vocal dismantlings that opt for the expression of babbling, going through clear dialogues in which the intimacy of these two voices are unfolding, twisting or mutating as the album progresses.
The multiplicity of resources that Epifonías uses to create its tracks makes this album a sort of journey through human relationships, permeated by the inherent veil of digitality and sound experimentation.
“Mensajes de Voz” presents a disjointed version of discursive variants around the construction of a shared intimacy, creating extreme atmospheres that transit from one track to another: moments of dense and dark resonance that can recreate from a night walk through a solitary park to tracks composed with subtle, low sounds that create more luminous vibrant landscapes.
We are facing a sound journey through the rooms of intimacy in which relationships, affections, circumstances, suspicions, curiosities, are built, a journey which questions and reflects on the ways in which a sound can be perceived from two entities that share something more than the fleeting nature of enjoyment.
This is a sound story of affections.

Janez Plešnar – Leftovers
[KAM042]
Janez Plešnar
“Leftovers”
Leftovers is short release that confidently dives into rich loops of symphonic layers combined with distorted but controlled feedback punctuated and dictated by slow pulsating kicks and other low-frequency detritus – a mixture that manages to be dynamic and relaxing at the same time.
In fact, first track traverses number of various sonic configurations and intensities that inadvertently form a musical story without a clear start or end. After the dramatic depth of second track a short off-hand piano intermezzo clearly breaks the pattern and leads to a low-key digital debris with subtle dystopian murmurs and echoes in the background in the final track.
Written and recorded by a Slovene musician, guitarist, illustrator and designer this short sliver of sonic exploration, despite its briefness, represents one of the more adventurous musical excursions on our label.

Emmerichk – Sleepy HZ
[M023]
Emmerichk
“Sleepy HZ”
Review: Emmerichk is a long-standing mexican producer in the electronic music scene who gives now six dub techno tracks in its purest essence. His proposal is more in the intimate side and it is characterized by micro-nosey and glitch. The quest for atmospheres that is proposed here delivers duality between oneiric and the real, lifting us up to a spacial drift trip and great contemplation.
An album to enjoy in its entirety with very interesting textures and deep inwardness.

Noise. Distorsions. Chants.

Michael Valentine West – Discrete Objects
[AR_093]
Michael Valentine West
“Discrete Objects”
The album “Discrete Objects” was conceived whilst observing geometry in nature and trying to make a connection between it, neuroscience and abstract physics theories. This led to the question; could using a series of ‘discrete objects’ intentionally cause a cognitive change in the listener?
To test this idea, a number of processes (discrete objects) were used to enhance the recordings. This envolved the subtle usage of neural oscillators (alpha, beta, delta, gamma and theta waves), isochronic tones, binaural beats, harmonic counterpoint and stereo placement.
The result was a slowly evolving musical body of work in which the listener is gradually coaxed into an altered state, vaguely equivalent to ‘tripping’.
In order to fully take advantage of this album, playback on decent stereo speakers that are optimally placed, or good headphones are recommended. However, Discrete Objects can still be enjoyed from a purely musical aspect without these recommendations.

Shekuza – De Sica
Shekuza
“De Sica”
“The album De Sica is made using custom modular patching systems for synthesis and composition in which the analogue and the digital join hands: a continuous signal through patch cables performing analogue voltage control of an almost infinite variety of parameters and available hardware modules.
Many forms of music simultaneously existing locally and accessible in the global exchange are creating a continuum of events–geographically and historically–musical works that transcend discrete performances. Relatively differentiated musical objects (releases, labels, creators) or images of music can be ‘dequantized’ into a continuity of known and undiscovered structures. Music is continuous with everyday life from which it emerges.
The creative force on this album is sourced from personal stories and since it is part of an infinite music space, its undulations between music and noise are deeply interconnected with community, society, and politics.” (excerpt from liner notes on the USB-booklet)

KMPST – KMPZ SESSIONS (Part 1)

KMPST
“KMPZ SESSIONS (Part 1)”
KMPST brings the best of the Moscow underground electroacoustic free improv tablet electronica and marks the beginning of a new exciting era on top-40.org with back-to-the-roots hidden gems, original hits, and more entertaining explorations of the unknown.
KMPZ SESSIONS are designed as an acoustic labyrinth without exits but with many escape routes through paradoxical gaps in the aural continuum. Primordial, almost shamanic rhythms meet futuristic mech-a-droids in the vortex of high-freq noises and digital glitches, Amnesia Scanner versus self-mutated Autechre audio algorithms, dark soundscapes, and Muslimgauze’esque faux ethnic vibes.
The opening track KMPZ 015, a rudimentary clicks’n’çutz dark breakbeat anthem, sends us off on a rather epic hour-long journey through an abstract experimentalist interacoustic universe. From suspenseful, uncanny deep dub pulsations on KMPZ 001 to a slowly unfolding, swampy bass micro-ambient soundscape KMPZ 004, with a slightly attenuated KMPZ 008’s distant motive and granular proto-rhythmic vibrations and entrancing melodies of KMPZ 012, KMPST presents a compelling yet highly abstract musical story.

Gerardo Figueroa Rodriguez – #soloshow
[pn136]
Gerardo Figueroa Rodriguez
“#soloshow”
“Pueblo Nuevo Netlabel is always honored to present. This time it’s my honor -and I really mean it- to present #soloshow, recorded by the very talented Gerardo Figueroa.
The story begins when Lorena López Araya, Chilean artist based in Villa Alemana, gave Gerardo a series of audio files containing readings of poems of her own to “do as he pleased”. This was 2016. A couple of years later, he selected fragments of one of those files and decided experimenting with them at a very special occasion: an improvised live-act in the context of a poetry festival in Padre Hurtado, where he shared his choices using a DJ software (Mixxx).
#soloshow is mainly and strictly organized around the poem, so each and every sound/noise in it is nothing but a mixed-up/looped/reversed/accelerated/paused single female voice. Volume goes up and down sometimes, speed and pitch also swing. Sometimes, words mingle in unison, becoming strange and detached, with no clear message behind.
Inside Inside Inside Inside is repeated several times, while words like hurting, crack, pouring pouring and oscillating are heard louder. Deconstructed and reconstructed verses, ordering/disordering patterns, altering the way we are used to listen to poetry. Words tend to disappear, resurfacing reversed, in seductive, odd-to-listen, hard-to-write utterances.
Sewing machines, a Ford factory with a row of ladies working, alienated; a rusty, slow truck down the countryside, an electric hammer breaking up some hard cement, a plane moving propeller before taking off, a minimal music electronic party or an Atari machine stuck in the middle of a game are some of the sounds this record seems to evoke, in seamless fashion.
It is not an easy record, this one: #soloshow is a poem turning into a sound piece, mixed and remixed using a limited amount of effects, turning prose into a journey through noise, in a deep sea, full of different textures, where voice becomes something so disparate you can’t even trace the source, a poem crowned with an powerful, alluring image:
D I R T Y B L O O D.”

oculoss – Parallel Path
[mi264]
oculoss
“Parallel Path”
The music of oculoss is mainly of an atmospheric nature. Sometimes less is more, making his music ideal for listening while working, sleeping or doing other things.
In “Parallel Path” oculoss explores texture, consistency, and a type of variety that could be called subtle. This is not the utopian ambient of the typical soundscape artist. This EP is serious music for serious people.

OOAME – Milanese Nwas
[AT056]
OOAME
“Milanese Nwas”
Milanese Nwas is the sound of weightless bytes, carefully weaved to accompany the listener into a realm of self-generated paradoxical melodies. It’s music freed from the heaviness of pulse, liberated from the dictatorship of sequences and the weight of measurement.
Each track lives, like insects and plants, as if autonomous agents of a digital biosphere taken control of the computer and created a collection of aural epiphanies.
Working with custom designed softwares and advanced digital synthesis techniques, OOAME builds a self evolving micro-world of augmented harmonies in which the composer’s will acts as a mean of observation, rather than control, focusing on details of a larger and everchanging autonomous process.
Delicacy and fragility merge with pulverized melodies, fractional phrases and quasi conscious noise bursts, giving life to the Nwas concept (“noise” pronounced in French). Milanese Nwas is an experimental act of investigation of self-organizing art, searching for emotion and poetry in the silicon mind: a journey in the beauties of an impalpable artificial wildlife.
