TRANCE

pre-save/order here [blackhole.lnk.to/FindingMe] Ironically perhaps, ‘Finding Me’ owes its existence to a period of profound creative doubt on Ciaran McAuley’s behalf. After years of forward momentum, the Irish artist found himself questioning not only his own direction, but his relationship with music itself. At that crossroads, rather than forcing (what now only had the appearance of) progress, he chose to pause and fully acknowledge the rift. Then he turned into its headwind and harnessed that turbulence as the start-point for his recalibration. And that became the core of ‘Finding Me’. That type of reset often requires a little help from your friends and Ciaran found a wealth of that through a truly standout cast of collaborators. Amongst that cadre are studio mainstays like Paul van

LISTEN HERE: https://blackhole.lnk.to/bpreprinted ARTISTS INCLUDING GUISEPPE OTTAVIANI, MATT FAX, HEL:SLØWED AND FERRY HIMSELF GATHER TO REVISIT AND REPRINT HIS CONCEPTUALLY GROUNDBREAKING 4TH ARTIST ALBUM On its 2017 debut, ‘Blueprint’ marked a changeup in how an electronic artist album could be approached. It moved from a singles-driven model, toward a unified, long-form work, built around musical transitions and narrative flow. In doing so, it retuned expectations of what the modern electronic album could be. And now, nine cycles later, ‘Blueprint’ is ready to reenter the electronic music space … as ‘Blueprint Reprinted’. Alongside Ferry himself, the Dutch pioneer has handpicked five contemporaries and six ‘Blueprint’ tracks for the ’Reprinted’ cadre to revisit. Ferry opens the EP’s

Listen here: https://blackhole.lnk.to/Moonstruck What happens when two producers – bound by a shared history, yet also significantly parted for fragments of it – rediscover the musical language that first brought them together? And then further, seal it with a 20-track first album as a two-piece? For Driftmoon’s Juraj Klička, and Miikka Leinonen, who in 2023, rejoined, seven years after his departure, the answer’s ‘Moonstruck’-a record born through (not to put too fine a point on it!), reunion. Featuring a constellation of talented co-producers (Ruben de Ronde, Richard Durand, Robert Nickson, Hel:Sløwed to mention a few) and vocalists like Sue McLaren Sarah Howells and Susie Ledge, ‘Moonstruck’ is Driftmoon’s most ambitious studio work

Pre-save Etherflow here: https://blackhole.lnk.to/airscapeetherflow “Always, I have believed that artist albums need a purpose” says Johan Gielen, “and that purpose can’t simply be feeding the industry machine or the bi-annual expectations of a fanbase”. Nonetheless, it’s been nigh on twenty years since ‘Revelations’ appeared, making ‘Etherflow‘ less of a ‘return’ to the Johan Gielen longplayer, and more a musical reckoning for it. Fair to say then that expectations have been raised, and its taken the Belgium-born/Dutch-based legend three earth cycles of production to meet them. An album forged in grief, resilience, and a raw creative truth, ‘Etherflow‘ isn’t just a long-awaited ‘next chapter&#...

THE FIRST ARTIST ALBUM FROM ONE OF JAPAN’S FOREMOST ELECTRONIC MUSIC TALENTS. FEATURING MUSICAL COLLABORATIONS WITH CHRISTINA NOVELLI, JULIE THOMPSON, LINNEA SCHOSSOW, CLARA YATES, CARI AND OTHERS Pre-Save the album here: https://blackhole.lnk.to/eclipticaalbum From Tokyo’s high-rises to the farthest edges of sound, one figure has spent the last decade bending studio frequencies to her will. Over that time, she’s built nothing less than a sonic solar system, with Rina ‘Rinaly’ Noguchi firmly at its core. ‘Ecliptica’, her debut longform. takes its title cues from the passage of the sun – a rotation where shadow and luminosity are locked in a permanent state of pursuit. First track through last, that chase musically characterizes the album, c...
