Various Gorge Bootists – GORGE OUT “HERE” 2022
Various Gorge Bootists
“GORGE OUT “HERE” 2022”
GORGE.IN has completed its 10th anniversary compilation “GORGE OUT “HERE” 2022″. The total number of tracks is 45, and the total time is over 2 hours and 40 minutes. A terrifying adventure of madness is enclosed here.
This monster compilation proves it. The bootists (as the artists who create gorges are called) came from 20 regions across Japan, from Hokkaido to Okinawa, and from abroad, including Germany, the U.S., Argentina, Aotearoa (New Zealand), Nepal, and many other countries. Gorge is a mix of gorges from every region of the world, a music that can be found anywhere in the world and nowhere else in the world.
The backgrounds of the participants are diverse. Techno, Dubstep, Hip-hop, Ondo, GQOM, Rock, Noise, Punk ・・・・. All kinds of genres coexist here, swallowed up on the extremely open and vast wildness of Gorge music.
You may be asking, “Is this real?” Despite being active since the early days of Gorge, the recordings include bootists DJ Nanga, MVVM, and others whose existence is in doubt. George Jukemura is deceased, and his sound files came to us by fax. “Isn’t this fictional?” I would like to answer, “The truth is that music exists here”. The existence of this 45-tracks of awesome vibration is unquestionably real. What other information do we need?
Gorge’s last ten years have been “embryo”. With this album, Gorge’s true story has finally begun to unfold. What comes next? Please listen to this album and look forward to it.

88756 – TOOLKIT II
88756
“TOOLKIT II”
Twelve moons following the initial provision of it’s stripped-back techno tooling, the 88756 project returns with a sequel. As far as we’re concerned, an upgrade – the manual coercion of it’s output towards this overly hypnotic, functional sound is proving easier with each release.
Limbo in both name and nature, the opening track; a relentless polyrhythmic whirlpool of sound and 909s; has been stuck in the release backlog for a considerable time now, and is finally making it’s way out of the project’s DJ sets and into your gleeful little hands. The Void tells the story of a solitary synth line caught up in the perpetuity of existence, whilst Space Whirlpool swirls in a smug, self-satisfactory manner. Latent Reality is, to the best of our knowledge, a genuine attempt at interplanetary communication, and finally, Come Get It closes out the extended EP with an invitation of physical violence.
As always, these mechanical outputs are free to download straight from Bandcamp. Your support keeps us safe, and additional commentary is welcomed.

Dmytro Bobryk – Bucha
[Insectorama special]
Dmytro Bobryk
“Bucha”
This release is an affair of the heart and needs all of your support.
This EP is by Dmytro Bobryk from Bucha by Kyiv in the Ukraine. He and his family had to flee from the Russian invasion in his city and he had to take his family to safety. Every day we all see with horror what is happening in Ukraine. This war against an entire innocent people is so horrible and utterly pointless and we all hope it ends as soon as possible. I’m so sad when I see the war pictures and I’m incredibly proud of the Ukrainian people who are fighting for their freedom and independence.
With this EP I want to support Dmytro Bobryk and his family during this difficult time they are going through and all proceeds go 100% directly to him and his family. Of course, this is only possible with your support and that’s why I ask you to support my project by buying the EP to show that we don’t look the other way and that everyone can help, even with small means.
Thanks for your support.
My heart is with Dmytro, his family and all of Ukraine.

It’s time for the next part of my Dub Theory Series. The Dub Theory Chapter Five brings 8 new purely functional loop-based dubtechno tracks designed to take you on a journey through forests and mountains to the sea. Slow down your life and go in search of rest and relaxation into the depths of echoes and chords, surrounded by wobbling basses and constructs of danceability in this very difficult time.

Post Apocalyptic – The Art of Being

Post Apocalyptic
“The Art of Being”
Post Apocalyptic from Lithuania comes here with his new album “The Art Of Being” and gives us an unbelievable journey over 54 minutes that has it all. Deepest echoes and delays that never want to end and settle like thick clouds over space and time. 9 tracks that go deeper than you’ve known before, and you want to delve even deeper into his carpet of sound, which is so sensitive and floating that you can’t escape it to embark on this journey with him.
Fog settles over the dense forest. A certain silence spreads, which is traversed by deep echoes and so floats through the leaves of the trees. You look through the clearings down into the gorge and here it echoes back on the rock walls. Driving winds spread the sound throughout the area, weaving it into a dense cloud of pads and chords.

jjsauma – The Comfort of the Darkness LP
[ST043]
jjsauma
“The Comfort of the Darkness LP”
This album is Inspired by the Nooscope Manifest by Pasquinelli and Joler, and its view of AI as an instrument of knowledge extractivism while using an analogy with optical media. In Comfort of the Darkness, jjsauma presents a collection of tracks where he lets AI create its own interpretation of music by building dub versions of the tracks created for this project. In this case, a test of the Nooscope Manifest was applied as a filter for a multitrack recording. These tracks were conceived as glitch/techno/ambient and were given a dub treatment by an amorphous entity with human-like characteristics programmed by jjsauma using Max/MSP. Human behaviour, bias, inconsistency and failure are part of the new aesthetic created by using AI in arts and industry, showcasing uncertainty as a precondition of dialectics, as opposed to the certitude of traditional computational processes.
While AI raises a lot of questions, it produces its own vision of the world, and this album is a representation of AI’s… more

Brainquake + Sven Phalanx – From The Oblivion Lounge
[mhrk299]
Brainquake + Sven Phalanx
“From The Oblivion Lounge”
Mahorka is more than a label, it is also a place where artists meet and collaborate. Sven Lemke (Sven Phalanx, Andreas Davids + Sven Phalanx, Schattenspiel, Schwarzwald) and Marc Ceulemans (Brainquake, Zonevreemd, Toxic Derwish, Psych Krist Kastrator) have both had already outstanding contributions to the catalog when Marc was invited to remix Sven’s “Klangtherapie” for the special remix album (mahorka.org/release/288) and they got to know and meet each other. Since they had many similarities in background and musical preference, they decided to compose and produce something together. This collaboration worked just perfectly and soon they suprised the label with the ten tracks of “From The Oblivion Lounge” album as presented here. From desolate ambient and rough rhythmic experimental to technoid industrial, they made this all sound very different but coherent. We can hear a lot of both of them here, but also something completely different, befitting the harshness of today’s society.

Hypnos – Vindictiveness
[mhrk298]
Hypnos
“Vindictiveness”
With his third album Hypnos drives us on a journey of sonic invasion, a journey into the personal ways of the artist in dealing with narcissistic and vindictive behavior in our society, where we are constantly exaggerating our life stories and achievements in an aura of overinflated importance, to the point that we become defensive when questioned or when someone challenges our conscious or subconscious idea of superiority.
“Vindictiveness” is Hypnos’ most structured, most complex release to date, revealing yet another side of the project, inspired by club techno aesthetics, with constructions derived from and building on early rave music rhythms and sequences and everything merged into swathes of ambient fields of long, calm and heavy drones.
