Top Releases in 140 / Deep Dubstep / Grime
Ethereal
This ep came together as I went through a huge life change. After starting the Nina project, I had a huge sense of freedom within the genre field and with that, came inspiration. Writing music with no boundaries or expectations. Just pure innocence. This ep is a sonic representation of this natural but crucial evolution of my artistry. —NINA

Top Releases in Bass / Club
APTID
As we started moving around dancefloors more often, taking in a fresh dose of energy and adapting some new viewpoints, we consider this release as a love letter to more club oriented sounds rather than focusing on tedious days-lasting sound design sessions. In usual TRAKA fashion, its a genre fusing gumbo of electronic music, taking inspiration from Breaks, Footwork, Dubstep and Garage among others veiled in obscure samples that paint a pretty murky and distorted picture of sounds that we enjoy. We are grateful for our collaborations on Wheeling with MUADEEP, and NNNN with COIDO. APTID is an acronym that should remain undisclosed, but is closely related to the everlasting needs of creatives chasing the goal. —TRAKA

Feat. New Releases in Drum & Bass
Sonian Tales
These stories have grown slowly, like moss spreading over bark. Now theyre ready to step out of my imaginary forest and find new connections with other listening bodies. I picture this EP as a wander, each track opening onto its own biotope. It begins in an emerald woodland — Sonian Tales — a forest waking after the rain. Then comes the ascent of an amber slope with Knock Knock. Beyond that ridge lies a rocky valley, where the purple mists of Quartz Symphony swirl. Coming from a background in stage direction, storytelling is central to my composition process, which is also deeply inspired by the living world. I gather sounds and let them meet to create imaginary microcosms. An old stump from the Sonian Forest encounters a ruined piano from a hidden valley in la Drôme. Drum elements become lively characters. The human voice dissolves into the biotope, existing as one element among others. A non-anthropocentric mixing choice where no single species dominates the soundscape. This music grew alongside my residencies at two radios: Kiosk Radio — where joyful experimentation during my Organic Tales show crystallized into Sonian Tales, and GIMIC Radio — where I happened to meet a violinist the same week I began dreaming of collaborating with one for Quartz Symphony. A special thought goes to all the attentive ears along the creative process, and to my non-human studio companions, my indoor ficus, and Bernarde & Chiba the cats. — Bobbi Watson
