Hate Love Trio made a low-key debut last year on this label with the slow, dreamy, dance-pop charms of 'Chan-O-Rama'. We have found out little more about the producer or producers behind it but here they or he or she returns with a full-length album of elegant and inventive downtempo and Balearic that starts off with those singles. Elsewhere, slow, mournful rhythms and melodies encourage inward reflection. 'Loosey Goosey' is a funky dancer for grown-ups, 'Billie Brownie' merges dub pacing with sunny guitar echo and 'Sunday I Don't Know' is a shimmering, jazz-flecked neo-classical warmer for intimate moments. An accomplished and adventurous album that is as good for the mind as it is body and soul.

This record contains six tracks by Freephilipp and Robin — two Bremen-based musicians who meet where the void of digital subculture and experimental electronic music opens up. Freephilipp contributes four glitch-driven pieces that move between IDM-tinged ambient, electro, atmospheric broken beats and junglish fragments. Random Chords Memory is one of the reasons this release needed to be carried out into the nexus: it stands on its own, just like the rest of the EP, yet it may be the signature track of Freephilipp’s nocturnal enthusiasm — mixing between night shifts and sharing production skills with the people around him. Robin (zckr rec / ph17) completes the EP on the flipside. Tau-37 and Omega5, named after two star systems, invite you onto a dub-soaked, drifting flight. The Basic Channel- esque impact of Tau-37 rounds out the journey in combination with Omega5, whose drone-laden soundscape slowly opens and dissolves. This music was never meant to be produced for an audience. It is a document of what it sounds like when you say goodbye to the outer world and begin building landscapes in another.

The starting point of the Robert Mononom’s oeuvre with the Mononom series. Quintessential Dutch Freetekno sound originally from 1997. A side comes on at a time warping 170BPM, no time to loose full throtle, intense acid sounds raging over crisp hats and drum machine patterns for a solid 15 minutes. B1 is more atmospheric and dubby, with B2 featuring a very hypnotic and psychedelic sounding 10 minute long excursion, both well within the Mononom aesthetic. Restored and remastered.

Operating at the intersection of club functionality and cerebral sound design, London-based artist
Anoesis has steadily built a reputation for forward-thinking electronic music that feels as at home in the
warehouse as it does in the headphones. Drawing on strands of techno, house, breaks and rave futurism,
Anoesis’ productions are defined by tough rhythms, immersive atmospheres and a restless, exploratory
spirit.
Here, we present his 3rd EP for Cyphon and we find him in fine form. The Idios Kosmos EP is a five-track
statement that dives deep into Anoesis’ own sonic universe — dark, euphoric, twisted and intensely
physical — designed for late nights, early mornings and everything in between.
Opening track Idios Kosmos sees Anoesis in full nocturnal club mode. Tough, driving beats underpin
shimmering strings and mechanical synth arpeggios, while a darker-toned, speaker-wobbling sub bass
locks the track firmly into peak-time territory.
Reptile Skin pushes further into shadowy, other-worldly space. A rolling bassline and crunchy, propulsive
groove form the backbone, while glitched-out sonic details and off-kilter processing inject a twisted edge
that sounds immense on a big system.
Flipping over, we find Feeling Go which picks up the pace and lifts the mood, combining a euphoric,
looped-up vocal sample with a driving, housey groove. Tripped-out synth lines spiral overhead, delivering
a rush of hands-in-the-air energy without losing the EP’s left-field sensibility.
Next up, Big Noodle heads straight into breakbeat territory, chopping and reshaping classic breaks into a
futuristic take on 90s rave. It’s high-energy, raw and playful, fusing old-school reference points with
modern production muscle.
Closing out the EP is Lonely, the gentler and more introspective finale. Pitched-up vocals, clipped beats
and scratched fills keep the rave DNA intact, but the mood turns inward, winding things down with a
cerebral, reflective atmosphere that lingers long after the record stops spinning.
Idios Kosmos EP is a bold, cohesive release that captures Anoesis at their most confident — a deep dive
into a personal club universe where darkness, euphoria and experimentation coexist.

Tracklist:

A1 - Idios Kosmos
A2 - Reptile Skin
B1 - Feeling Go
B2 - Big Noodle
B3 - Lonely

Visionary producer Ilija Rudman confidently lands into the Black Jukebox catalogue with a truly mesmeric 2-tracker.

Based in Zagreb, Ilija has carved a legacy over more than two decades in the game throughout which he's released over 100 vinyl EPs and 8 studio albums, collaborating with the likes of Robert Owens, Greg Wilson, Faze Action and Ron Trent.

'Euphonia' opens up with a suave slice that melds deep Detroit shades with the flexible Electro funk of Morgan Geist and Clatterbox. A sawtooth bass climbs steps in the low end while gorgeous synths bend and glide at the groove's core. Crisp, delicate drums kick, snap and shuffle as they guide a low-slung, retro-futuristic trip to the moon.

'Late Checkout' draws for a similar sound palette as rich analogue pads form a magic carpet for Prelude-era synth phrases and another sneaking bass line. The tone is elegant and nothing feels forced as Ilija Rudman traverses the vast sonic territory between Salsoul-era Disco and modern Electro-funk in the most fluent and stylish manner.
