Born out of months of traveling, chance encounters, and late-night exchanges, Cos I Said So feels less like a compilation and more like a living map of the labels journey.

Tuomas Juhani – Electroluddite 96 Opening the EP, Tuomas Juhani delivers a sleek, motorik journey built from icy sequences, minimalistic drum programming, and synthetic melodies that glide with machine precision. Electroluddite 96 evokes early visions of automation and urban futurism—melancholic, mechanical, and endlessly hypnotic. deadroid – cb_genesis deadroid dials in a cybernetic dreamscape with cb_genesis, weaving syncopated rhythms and crystalline synth lines into a tightly programmed banger. The track pulses like a digital lifeform born in a forgotten circuit—moody, immersive, and relentlessly groovy. Celsius – Heavenly Drawer Closing out the release, Celsius drifts into dark, etheric electro territory. Heavenly Drawer floats on distorted 808, shimmering voices, submerged snares, and gently glitching acid, offering a contemplative outro that lingers long after the needle lifts. Together, these three tracks form Celestial Elegy—a sonic tribute to the glitchy grandeur of 90s electro, reimagined by a new wave of hardware-savvy artists. Expect warm hiss, cold steel, and neural grooves designed to move both floor and mind.
