EMPYREAN by Hermetic

Hermetic returns with his new release Empyrean. A fresh dive into future bass and the melodic side of dubstep. Expansive synths, weighty drops, and soaring atmospheres define this EP, delivering both intensity and emotion. Crafted in Rainbow Beach, Queensland, Empyrean captures Hermetic’s evolving sound: immersive, powerful, and unmistakably his own.

Boundaries by Hermetic

Queensland-based electronic artist Hermetic returns with a powerful new release, Boundaries — a genre-defying exploration of texture, space, and emotion. Blending intricate electronica with ambient/idm sensibilities and rhythmic tension, Boundaries invites listeners into a world where sound both defines and dissolves the lines between inner and outer experience.

Each track pulses with Hermetic’s signature depth: layered synths, atmospheric sweeps, glitch-laced percussion, and a cinematic approach to structure.

This is upbeat music for the sonic fringe—crafted for for the dancefloor mutants, earphone escapologists, the late-night rollers, and the lovers of left-field sound.

Crystals by Warm Natural

Dreamlike and sparkling, "Crystals" builds slowly, hinging on a rising orchestra of bells and plucks through to a swung breakbeat crescendo that slaps across a melodic wall of sound. Choral vocals and stuttering synths, groove along with the ever shifting beat. "Crystals" is quintessentially Warm Natural.

DECODING MESSAGE -

The tide rises and falls

What goes up must come down

We strive for the peak experiences

But we cannot stay on the summit

We all must descend

Burn the dead wood

Purify the flesh to purify the soul

Cast off all that no longer serves you

So you may rise again

Dylab - Atoms for Peace

With Atoms for Peace, dyLAB smashes together percussive particles into 5 tracks of high intensity techno embodied with acid. “Energetic Earth” is an overdriven 13 minute percussive odyssey. “Building Material” takes a sharp turn into serious house vibes. Undersea Frontiers turns the acid up to 11 with screaming 303 lines orbiting driving techno rhythms. ”Electronic Intelligence” sparse blasts of noise and bleeps attract and repel, fusion and fission imperfectly balanced. “Triga” slams metallic industrial snares over the buzz of atomic electricity. The EP closes with Ear Mind Eye’s Akula remix of “Undersea Frontiers” taking the 303’s acid line into trance territory concluding in a catastrophic meltdown.

Escaped from the Vault by Son of Zev

Back in a time when it was cheaper to buy synths from the thrift shop than to buy a computer and when mobile phones were tiny and couldn’t take photos, a young musician known as Son of Zev was performing Live Techno almost every week and working a crappy full time job. When doing neither of those things he was usually raving. Those gigs were often small raves in dirty warehouses, and grimy pubs and clubs and the occasional “big event”.
In between doing that, he would occasionally sequence and record some of the material and burn it on a CD to send off to promoters as a demo. These tracks featured on this mini EP are recorded straight to stereo, mixed and tweaked live. No editing, no multitrack fancy mixing, just raw. Never released and never uploaded...
Cut forward to 2021, and Son of Zev is clearing out old boxes of this ancient technology and stumbles across a backup CD-ROM. Poor and Pane were two of his dancefloor “bangers” of the time (although there was no such term) and capture the essence of those parties. Now they’ve escaped from the vault.

Check out Son of Zev's interview on Naga Mag here: www.nagamag.com/the-latest/son-of-zev-interview/

Domum Sinica by Acidalius

Slice presents Acidalius' new Ep Domum Sinica. A regular artist of Acid Slice nights in Melbourne and much like his live sets - this release brings a vibrant groove - laced with acid.

These recordings are from the last years' of the Pre-pandemic Period, during which Acidalius was constantly travelling between Australia and China with only his trusty Digitakt for company.
The tracks reflect on his experience of constant transition between the windy, pristine Victorian Southern Ocean coastlines (where Acidalius and Modal reside), the mega-city Shanghai (home of Prismatic Force/Shanghai Ultra), and rustic rural small towns of Jiangsu and Anhui Province.

"Looking forward to a time when we can all play, perform and party together again - Valens Acidalius, Anglesea, August 2020".
