Reasoned study
(Fuddy duddy)
Strives to make the truth
less Muddy.
It requires
Time and Space,
Focus, Logic –
we must Brace
Ourselves to sheer
Discordancies,
yet Understand
they are To Be.
Featuring synthesizers, drum machines, electric piano, shaker, and vocaloid.
SWENGLITCH new album by PSYCHTRUM, Psychiceyeclix & TrumTrum collab –
a mix of jazz, hip hop, noise, industrial & organ jungle!
You are the reason I believe this Reality is such a waste.
You believe the euphoria about a lie you are special.
You become the noise in the music of the universe.
You remain the same fantasizers of nice and fuck.
I wish you all be dead.
Part 8 out of 8 from Joy of Creation.
If you keep making music about discovery, we will make the Reality in which you live so miserable, you will not have any joy in exploring it.
The spawn of an alter-ego for this euphoria infested world of liars, to feed it a mandatory supply of garbage to make them fuck off, in order to have time for what makes it worth the effort.
The album is trying to disguise itself in what this Reality prefers and completely fails.

Monofónicos Netlabel presenta su nuevo lanzamiento con el dúo DeepNebula (Miguel Caputi y Miguel Duque), donde la música alcanza un pulso hipnótico de Deep Techno con paisajes sonoros futuristas.
Blue Dream EP explora territorios atmosféricos y minimalistas que trascienden lo ordinario. La música en este disco despliega texturas hipnóticas entre lo orgánico y lo sintético, sosteniendo un groove subterráneo que aporta una elegante tensión.
A lo largo del EP, las atmósferas suaves y los sintetizadores sutiles se entrelazan en un espiral sonoro que mantiene al oyente inmerso en diferentes matices del techno profundo, invitándolo a dejarse llevar por su propio pulso interno.
Finalmente, el remix de Blue Dream a cargo de Insanity Circle retuerce el original hacia un enfoque más directo, pistero y punzante. Aquí el groove se vuelve más contundente, las percusiones más incisivas y la atmósfera ideal para llevar el remix al corazón de la pista de baile.
DeepNebula demuestra madurez compositiva y la sensibilidad técnica dentro del Deep Techno contemporáneo.
Tracklist:
1. Blue Dream
2. Ionized
3. Oxygen
4. Blue Dream (Insanity Circle Remix)
Producido para Monofónicos Netlabel.

It has been almost 30 years since Mantris shared music with the world. Together with Christoph Waelkens he was the driving force behind house outfits The Black Sun and Brown Hardware Inc. Their creative connection led to three consecutive releases in 1992 on cult label Elektron. A productive music career was forecasted, but Mantris vanished into thin air. Until early 2020…
I’m So Many People, his ambient masterpiece debut on Mahorka, encapsulates the idea that we all play various roles throughout our lives. A journey unfolds from darkness to hope. Compared to his earlier albums, this one is even more focused on sound progression, fused with melodies and chords. Anatoly ‘Tokee’ Grinberg has done an excellent job of comprehending and mastering this music to bring out the full range of the sounds generated.
“The album’s journey mirrors our own, from the masks we wear to the ultimate acceptance of our true selves. The journey to the deity is a personal one, and not everyone may complete it.”
Composed and produced by Mantris

In October 2023, a number of artists submitted tracks for a compilation project intended to serve as a time capsule, set to release exactly a year later. While some artists drew connections between their work from the 1980s and the present day, others included messages aimed at the future, meant to be read in 2024. This project served as an exploration of timelessness, with each artist’s perspective on their work being deeply personal and not easily shared with the outside world. Their inspirations varied — some drew hope from the past, while others tackled their fears. For a few, it turned into an exercise in nihilism, as they stripped their work of all meaning to reflect their views on the world, offering a glimpse into their personalities. And, others expressed a desire for drastic changes to make the world safer.

This is what people said about this music and what this music said about theirs.
You want all music to be about euphoria to fuel your fantasy driven life, while this music is about the joy of discovery, to fuel the exploration of the way this universe operates.
It’s boring to you, because you like to fuel your euphoria driven fantasy. Your music is boring to me because it is all the same – tup tis to tis.

Boarding the flying ship, which is also a submarine.
Breathe in the molecules that tell stories.
Adventure stories of places beyond the known.
Jordi Saludes alias D-Fried has moved to a city by the sea and studies the waves and nature there, sitting right in front of the ocean when he produces music. One result is the album “Images sur la mer”, the images of the sea, an album that stimulates the imagination, a journey through soul and spirit.
Like with D-Fried’s first release on Phonocake, this release is presented with an amazing contemporary digitally version of an artwork by Buna. It is about the idea, that everything is connected and this idea reflects in oceans especially, since the oceans connect all the continents on our precious planet.

thanx to Buna, Dani, and Sven for their support
Luka Prinčič recently also known as Prince Lucija (Crucial Pink, ex-Nova deViator and Deviant Funk) created a pile of music for a certain genre-transgressive stage show. On these originals and reworks of various degrees Prinčič is joined by bouquet of members from the collective The Feminalz. The shuffling team of collaborators presents itself in the usually peculiar and ambivalent light on the new productions, stealing melodic and textual images in a mix of instrumental club tracks and lyrically generous songs that function both as performative moments and repeatable musical hooks.
DRAGX̶FUNK is a transgenre mutation, a fluid entity, jagged pop, electro-funk, techno-cabaret, a schlager, and soft alternative, queer to the core, satire and tragedy, sharp and fun indulgence for the dance of bodies and brains, activism and hedonism, which would all like to steal your attention.
DRAGX̶FUNK is pronounced /dɹæɡɑːfʌŋk/.

With over 15 edited releases, the Portuguese artist dgty finally arrives at MiMi Records. He is one of the few national artists who embraces otaku culture and, along with it, blends breakbeat and lolicore to create an experimental sound full of textures.
In this EP/Single with just two tracks, dgty gives us everything: fast and frantic beats, exploring lolicore with distorted, high-pitched voice samples, and the use of loops and glitch atmospheres to create a sense of deconstruction, maintaining a constant tension.
Lolicore EP is the name of this record, and right from the title, we can see the irreverence that reflects the provocative attitude of the music, almost as if it were a sonic transgression.
An EP perfect for fans of experimental electronic music and otaku culture.

Radiovision is an educational program which was launched in 1955, combining a school radio program with a slide show and a booklet. Forgotten today, it was a great success until the 1980s.
The slideshow and booklets were received on request by schools a few weeks before the radio program was broadcast. The colored slideshow pictures were larger and in a higher definition than the television image could offer. Paintings, engravings, manuscripts and old photographs were rendered with a higher quality than television couldn’t reach. It was therefore particularly useful for Geography, History of Arts and Natural Sciences classes.
The teacher had to manually ensure synchronization between images and sounds, triggering the transition to the next slide at each the sound signal.
During the 70s, in addition to the combination of sounds and still images, radiovisions became part of a more complete multimedia system, from an educational and tools point of view, and made up the radiovisual file. Each week, two programs from the “Radio-awakening” series would be associated with the radiovision, developing complementary aspects of the subject dealt with, along with educational documents gathered together in a file (15 to 20 pages of program content analysis, bibliography, texts, photographs, maps, etc.).
From the 1974-75 school year onwards, a flexy 7 inch disk would be part of the package for a few files, and then it developed to become more systematically; in the 80s, audio cassettes took over the flexy 7 inch disk.
Noisy and chaotic experiments with where the music starts in the presence of sounds.
Material which is not preferred is the definition of noise. What makes music become noise? When it plays something that is not expected?
What if nothing is being expected, but it is just an experiment of things that did not become music yet? A by-product of exploration of how to explain an idea, before it has manifested.
Part 5 out of 8 from Joy of Creation.
Refreshed from a year’s meditation and fuelled by a lethal combination of extra strong coffee and those lotus biscuits with the cream in the middle, Neko, the premier act to emerge from Bristol’s thriving Japanese language post rock/electronica micro scene (population 1) are back with “Windfall”, their second EP, following on from their highly acclaimed 2023 debut “King Louie”.
Like most second releases, it’s a more mature collection of songs than its predecessor (fewer songs about 5 a side football, more songs about complicated IT jobs and desperate attempts to avoid middle aged spread) that sees the band, now with vocalist Yuka Suzuki as a full time member, polish and develop their distinctive sound.
Teaming up again with producer Dom Mitchison, the EP’s four tracks are a vibrant melting pot of styles and ideas. Yuka Suzuki’s ethereal vocals are the one constant, through the dreamy “Stack Overflow” and “Kleshas” to the moody guitar lines and Donna Summer style synths of “Almost Forgotten”. The slow-building title track “Windfall” brings the EP to a pounding, cathartic conclusion.
The band will be undertaking a short tour towards the end of November to promote the release, with dates in Cardiff, London and hometown Bristol currently pencilled in. The “Windfall” EP is available for listening on Spotify and other music streaming services, while officially released on Shoredive Records (on CD) and Mahorka (cassette).
The Mahorka Edition cassette includes a whole exclusive B side of spectacular remixes of the original EP tracks by Asshole Galaxy, Tawdry Otter, Brainquake, popon and Suzuki.

An experiment with functions the composition and sound design take in communicating the idea of music.
All of the tracks share the same lead melodies and most of the patterns, but they use completely different samples.
Which part of the music remains the same? The ideas or the ways they are perceived? If the perception is different, how do you know the ideas were the same?
Part 4 out of 8 from Joy of Creation.
Hybrid Rain and Liquid Paper’s music is a unique blend of experimental and avant-garde styles. With James Hill’s expressive trumpet melodies and Hans Catstrup’s innovative soundscapes, the music explores unconventional sonic territories. It’s a journey through abstract textures and spontaneous compositions, merging organic and electronic elements for a truly distinctive auditory experience.
