Boba
Boba is the first single from Slipstream by PVAS. --- sitting in the terminal at Barcelona airport, health safety warnings echo through empty architecture. feeling slow, and fast, out of sync with rituals and routines. structure and rhythm disintegrate into micro gestures appearing in random order, a daily psychedelia... amid all of the chaos and distraction in the last few years, its only through letting go that Ive found solid ground to stand on. These are some of the experiences and reflections that gave shape to Slipstream, a hallucinatory mini-album by the artist PVAS and the fourth release on Objekts label, Kapsela. Slipstream is an aural document of PVASs interior life, conceived not as a grab-bag of DJ-friendly tracks (although its clearly inspired by the club) but as a single, delicately crafted artistic statement. The entire record is shrouded in a flickering haze, worn through by smudged breakbeats and wiry drum machines. Wetland, with its swampy percussion and crystalline arps, echoes T++ and Kraftwerk. The radiant incandescence of Gathering Drift recalls GAS or Monolakes Hong Kong. Sampled breakbeats dip and swerve asymmetrically through Boba and Terminal. Across the record, textures and voices are reshaped by PVASs homemade algo-software, UMT, which, in PVAS own words, reconstructs one audio file by sampling another, resulting in output that merges their aesthetic qualities, creating rhythm with non-rhythmic sound files and abusing the stereo field. But the most striking union of technology and poetic self-exploration comes at the end of the record, in the title track, from words murmured through a classic vocoder: when i stop framing myself as a boundaried stone immovable, and powerful, and heavy when i stop figuring my deepest space as my own something which i am solely responsible i surrender, i surrender PVAS is Jordan Juras, a Berlin-based artist who grew up outside of Windsor, Ontario. He has released solo EPs on Isla and xpq?, and is half the duo NUG (3XL, West Mineral Ltd.). In addition to developing music software professionally, he has used his UMT software on records by Lyra Pramuk and Dylan Kerr. Slipstream was recorded from 2022 to 2025.

Drink For Your Machine
Kendu Bari steps out on Whos Susan with his four headed monster, Drink for your Machine. The EP is bold, bass heavy and strongly influenced by cyberpunk nostalgia. The Sann Odea co-owner, known for his weighty live performances, bring the same focused intensity to his DJ sets, recently heard at The Lot Radio in New York and during the legendary closing weekend of De School. So sit back and let your machine sip what its been thirsting for.

Architektur Lab EP18
It is bad when one thing becomes two. One should not look for anything else in the Walk Of The Panther. It is the same for anything that is called a Walk. If one understands things in this manner, he should be able to hear about all ways and be more and more in accord with his own. This is the eighteenth EP in our Architektur Lab series, seventh for 2025. We continue the series with a couple of energetic, powerful and rolling remixes by top quality USA producer SluG (FL) and superb Aussie breaker Swim INC for a couple of older Architektur bombs!! This is the sound of tomorrow, the sound of Architektur Records. Breaks from another dimension for your dancing pleasure!!
