Delayed

Hame's new EP, "Almost Home," is a deeply personal exploration inspired by his life journey. After leaving home in 2008, Hame embarked on a search for purpose, navigating uncertain paths that often left him feeling lost. Music, however, remained a constant source of comfort. From childhood piano lessons to late-night sessions with Ableton, creating music became synonymous with finding a sense of b...

Today, Estrato Aurora takes the wheel and revisits Hiver's tra...

Sounds and scenes progress, mature, evolve, all synonyms for the same energy. The energy that surrounds the creation and impetus of a burgeoning idea or a bleeding edge of art. Change. The constant clashing of influences from everywhere and nowhere. Especially now more than ever, as everyone is battered with a barrage of ideas and trends that appear as quickly as they disappear. It’s hard to pick...

Rarely do musical collaborations like today’s premiere come around. More often than not it’s a pair of artists teaming up, perhaps a trio here or there. To have four, marks a special occasion.

As a veritable mix and match of all the founders plus a few close friends equate to...

Imagine a smoke filled valley… the only visible mark of a civilization being a single path ahead. A source of hope and inspiration, beckoning only to wither into the darkness and depths. Slowly you march forward, each step echoing through space like a shamanic drum strike, the footfalls catching and building off each other as if seemingly competing for your attention. On and on the journey goes, b...

The Berlin-based and Rødhåd-owned label WSNWG - Back to Zero releases its first-ever compilation, and it’s a selection of dancefloor-approved techno, the techno of the good, intense, “we like to lose our minds” - kind.

The internet loves a good music recommendation, and we couldn't agree more. We wouldn't have the constant stream of fresh music we share without people turning us on to new artists. It's a never-ending cycle of discovery. Today's premiere, "Freezing Point" by Warsaw producer bijū, exemplifies this perfectly. This track and his upcoming "phase transition" EP were, in a way, influenced by the music...

"Silv'ahn," the new EP by Martinou, is a deep exploration of artistic expression.
