Lucy’s Dream

Twenty years after Pale Ravine, Erik K Skodvin and Otto A Totland return with a haunting reverie stitched from forgotten fragments and new light. Merging echoes of the past with the clarity of the present, it feels like opening a door to memory itself – an elegy for what was, and what’s yet to come.

In the studio with Steve Hauschildt

In this new studio conversation, Steve Hauschildt reflects on his creative evolution — from early experiments in software to a refined, hybrid setup shaped by years of exploration and change. We talk about process, inspiration, and the shifting landscape of electronic music, revealing an artist who continues to reinvent his methods while staying true to his curiosity and craft.

In the studio with Will Long

After more than a decade, I reconnect with Will Long, the artist behind Celer, to step inside his Tokyo studio. We talk about moving from tape loops to rhythm machines, from ambient stillness to deep house and jungle, and how all of it remains part of one continuous, evolving voice.

Mike Lazarev

Tarnished Tapes and Saturated Signals

“… a work that asks for nothing, and gives everything…”

A record to be heard in darkness, in the hour before dawn, or deep in the night when everything else has gone quiet. In an age that confuses noise with presence, Mike Lazarev continues to speak in a whisper. Only those who know how to be still will truly hear him.

“… where smoke obscures the horizon, and beauty emerges within…”

Rev (excerpt)

“… deeply effected piano motifs reverberate and echo in the depths of the room, evolving through looping electronics into a blissful, mesmerising cloud of (dis)harmony…”

Sonic Contrasts: Destruction as Creation

In the composer’s hands, the obliteration embraces beauty, creating contrasts in harmony and dissonance. Like the album’s namesake, these compositions reveal how beauty emerges not despite deterioration, but because of it.
