We dont sit still, bringing you typical Fluid Ounce Music here from our Newyorican - Archtyp. We struggled to put this one in a box, but heres a synopsis: A quirky killer, built of layers of distortion, awkward angular riffs, with glitchy dubbed out spikes all pinned together with a groove that holds on tight, def. one for the more adventurous djs or simple mind tripping on the sofa (works too! - trust me ;0) Best bet - turn it up loud, stretch back and let your mind unwind...

Johannes Motschmann combines classical compositional craft with a distinctive electronic voice. His work spans ambient soundscapes, experimental live electronics, and AI-assisted composition (referring only to AION2 written with the Software he had developed himself at German national radio station SWR), always shaped by his background in piano and contemporary music. Alongside his orchestral and chamber works, Motschmann has released several acclaimed electronic albums that highlight this unique fusion: Electric Fields (2016) electro-acoustic landscapes blending analog synths and piano Lifestream (2019) handcrafted electronica performed without loops or samples AION 2 (2022) an exploration of artificial intelligence as a co-composer His upcoming solo EP on Traum continues this trajectory, putting the focus firmly on his electronic side while carrying forward his deep compositional sensibility. With his Opacity Code release, Johannes Motchmann explores the interplay between clarity and obscurity in sound. By layering acoustic and electronic elements like an orchestra, he creates textures where transparency and masking coexist, leading to both intentional and accidental new soundscapes. Quote from Johannes Motschmann: Lately Ive been working a lot with acoustic instruments and somehow I always have a naturalistic and also a bit retrospective sound in mind for the electronic music I make. I always mix all kinds of synths until I get a mixed sound similar to an orchestra, where you dont always know immediately which instruments are involved when you first hear it. Just as in painting where you get many new colors by mixing the basic colors, I also proceed in arranging and mixing new tracks. Many factors determine whether an element becomes audible at all: the volume, the frequencies, the environment, everything influences each other. So when I try to make everything transparent and make the sounds shine, there is sometimes the exact opposite effect of too many layers masking each other. It can be annoying sometimes but as a side effect this often results in new soundscapes, some of which were perhaps not even planned. While working on Opacity Code, I was really looking for moments like this, so that in addition to passages of complete clarity, there are also episodes of only mysterious impression, so that you can feel how behind all the soundscapes there are still other levels that you can gradually track down.

Eden Burns releasing his debut Album titled Eden Burns & The Makebelievers. The dance musics prophet, notorious for his ingenious string of club tracks (if you dont follow -> check the Big Beat Manifesto), is gifting the world with yet another, cult creating musical adventure. Ecstatic beats, melodies that cast a spell on you, if there ever was something to truly, blindly believe in: its the power of music? Be Free, set foot into the garden of Eden. All apples are to be bitten, the snakes venom is mildly hallucinogenic. Get your eyes opened for everything that is true enough and beyond. Bless.

Silver Waves is the longstanding project of Dylan Mallett. A producer based in Bristol, his practice encompasses aspects of electroacoustic composition, audio engineering and improvisation. Amongst releases on Berlins Portals Editions (Maria W Horn, Yair Elazar Glotman), Silver Waves has soundtracked independent video games and contributed to contemporary art pieces (Kleins Lifetime for Serpentine Galleries), as well as composing for multi-channel surround sound performance. Following technical credits on releases from AD93, Drowned By Locals and two Acne Studios collections, European shows with Liturgy, aya and Moor Mother and extensive collaborations with free improv vocalist Dali de Saint Paul, Silver Waves presents debut album Aninstar via Mun Sing & NE$$s label Illegal Data. Aninstar embodies a quest for rebirth via transitory states. Taking root during a four-month stint in Llandudno, it tells tales of a stray dog as it journeys through an underworld, conjures viking funeral sea-scapes from shoreline voice notes and liminal crossroads punctuated by whispered meditations. Forming sonic allegories for the stories in Dylans surroundings, its six tracks emanate from coastal field recordings, pneumatic drill foley, chopped and screwed vocal takes and gnarled string instruments - landing somewhere between industrial shoegaze, sound collage and new age folklore. In late 2024, the debut Silver Waves Trio performance was commissioned by Batus En Masse Festival, manifesting a live premiere of Aninstar in the tunnels of Bristols Loco Klub featuring double bassist Jo Kelly and avant-percussionist Dan Johnson, with lighting design by rxx_tx.

Welcome to Pfefferkorn: a countryside studio hidden inside a former 1950s café. The stylish interior stayed, the cake display is gone, but the mountain panorama is still very much in place. Out of this unlikely combination cameObsolescence,Featers new album and a record that wasnt supposed to happen, but insisted on doing so anyway.Originally, Pfefferkorn hosted a merry-go-round of guests and genres: jazz, kraut, pop, experiments, even the occasional field recording. Among the many, Mara Oldofredi aka Mietze Conte became the most frequent and inspiring visitor. Their sessions set sparks, and one of them, Trio, landed directly on the album.The method? Call it instant archaeology: live jams on two-track tape, then pushed through edits, resampling, Fairlight IIX sorcery, and endless tape-laptop relays. Quick, raw, and without too much overthinking, more sketch than sculpture, more instinct than intent.The result isObsolescence,a record born out of detours, made for personal delight, and proof that side products can be main courses if you let them.

Avenue 66 opens Series 33 with a Düsseldorf-Lyon connection. Series 33 begins with the convergence of Jonqueras looping experiments and Tolouse Low Traxs mechanical psychedelia, a dialogue between Lyon and Düsseldorf.

Jon Gravy releases his 4th album, also available on vinyl, on viennese label Studio Bahöö. With Opaque he expresses the inner self of being in an honest and powerful way. The album evokes the intimacy that settles in with the fading light of day, and the quiet distance that lingers at sunrise after a long, sleepless night.
