Russian Tsarlag and Secret Boyfriend are two of the most distinct and inimitable makers in the canon of the contemporary American “DIY” underground.

It’s a pleasure to host their reunion as a part of the ENXPL series, sharing new work. Russian Tsarlag’s side A is gorgeously trud...

Tokyo-based producer Sachi Kobayashi composed 𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑟𝑦 𝑇𝑟𝑖𝑝 as a travelogue: in her words, "[to] help listeners to imagine various aspects of Japan". Primarily recorded at her home studio, Kobayashi leisurely but exactingly dis- and re-assembles minute sounds; magnifying dust motes drifting by a sun-lit window. 𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑟𝑦 𝑇𝑟𝑖𝑝 also highlights minimalist melodies informed by choral training, adding...

In his book 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑟𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐸𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒, Mark Fisher wrote about the two notions: While the weird is something present where it doesn’t belong—something from outside found on the inside—the eerie has to do specifically with outside space. Something is eerie when there are unanswered questions about agency: Who or what is responsible for the abandonment of this zone? Who or what is crying out in the di...

Nunez Cabrera is a New York City-based artist and composer operating through various monikers: Begun in 2013, Horoscope is central to his orbit of output. “1 Play Morose” is the latest installment of material from that project, pulling from cinematic tropes and building upon Cabrera’s broader approach to production processes.

"The CD is scratched.” A saying from the early millennium, it describes the phenomenon of skipping music on a damaged CD, the locked, repetitive groove. For nearly a decade, Fossilized Wilderness has been experimenting with a peculiar modification to CDJ equipment, birthed by long hours sorting through promotional CDs sent to a radio station. In embracing choppiness, a body of abrasive but bright...

"The sounds on Florian T M Zeisig's 'Coatcheck' are little like the experience of stereotypical clubbing. Likewise, these remixes are meant for the club of the future, or perhaps, the non-club of the present: a place emphasizing organic flows instead of machinic rhythms, a place of distanced, isolated collectivity at a time of transition to something different. Many of these remixes have resulted...

:: through brackish water to promised bogs; vital stillness :: Patrick Chaney's Solid State Entity alias has steadily carved a unique path in the hypnotic spaces intersecting techno, ambient, field recording, and meditation. Ostensibly using a club-friendly sonic palette, his intricate polyrhythmic percussion patterns become embodied mantras. On "Dystonia Mix", Chaney uses three turntables and sev...

:: verdigris shadows etching, brilliant absentia; liminal paths :: Paris (FR)-based composer Léo Hoffsaes deftly nestles neo-classical chamber pieces into wide-open spaces on his debut solo album "J’ai pour eux cet amour..." While the strong compositions alert listeners to his education and background, Hoffsaes eschews any particular theoretical or stylistic mode. Smoothly modulating chords are bl...

"Seasonless, herbless, treeless, manless, lifeless— A lump of death— a chaos of hard clay." recorded on Jan 20, 2019 in one take direct to cassette using 2x Technics 1200s and a Bozak CMA-10 mixer. -- DJ and labelhead legend Mike Simonetti (Pale Blue, 2MR) returns to his "At the Juncture of Light & Dark" mix series after a 4 year hiatus. Enmossed is pleased to present "Volume 8", recorded in the d...

:: tracing each step, taken aback as consideration promotes our alteritive auspices :: Bobby Flan, alias of Rob Goyanes, moves between the club, academy, and love letter. Drawing upon Goyanes' work as an art critic, Bobby Flan engages the histories and qualities of (dys)functional dance music and sonic abstraction. Conceived as a long-form, long-term mixtape, the 15 tracks of 'We Take a Look But G...

"Synth revival from the mid-aughts gave us fractured sub-genre upon fractured sub-genre, outlets for noise-leaning basement dwellers to finally dance like dad said they couldn’t, and commercially-viable nostalgia drivel that eventually poisoned the well. Luckily, for all of us, Ryan Martin and his sincerity cut through all of it. Secret Boyfriend, the monumental and ongoing undertaking of Martin,...
