Bird Ambience brings several fresh changes for the artist. Until now, Fujita would separate his acoustic solo recordings, the electronic dub made under his El Fog alias, and his experimental improvisations with contemporaries such as Jan Jelinek. The new album sees him unite all these different facets for the first time into one singular vision.

The term Lāsya, in the context of Hindu mythology, describes the dance performed by Goddess Parvati as it expresses love, care, happiness and is filled with grace and beauty. The Lāsya was the second phase of creation, in response to Shiva’s Tandava dance that gave birth to the Universe. It combined to form the triad, “laya”, “pralaya” & “shunya” – the cyclic motion of things from resonance to dissolution, from stillness to movement, from sound to silence, and such represents the dialectical “being-nonbeing-becoming”. In a literal sense, Lāsya means softer, it is the divine feminine nature in all of us which manifests as beauty, happiness, enchanting, and grace.
We may be silenced by law, but our nature is movement. ~ We are joining together on this dance, 11 by number, for a 13h of exclusive live stream takeover on 9128.live

For Böser Herbst, Thomas Fehlmann returns to the sediment of ages, drawing from a similar lexicon of sounds to that used on 2018’s 1929 – Das Jahr Babylon. Like that album, Böser Herbst was produced as the soundtrack to a documentary made by Matthias Luthardt, Herbst 1929, Schatten Über Babylon, which offers historical insight to the third season of the television series Babylon Berlin.

With his new album, Year Of The Living Dead, Vienna-born and LA-based producer John Tejada finds a blissful extended moment of balance between the new and the familiar. Anyone who’s followed his career to date, which has included four previous albums for Kompakt, outings for storied labels like Plug Research, Playhouse and Cocoon, and numerous remixes and collaborations – most recently, his Wajatta duo with actor and musician Reggie Watts – will immediately sense the warmth and eloquence that Tejada brings to his gilded, pliant techno and electro hybrids.

With RV8, the Osaka-based producer and musician Aoki Takamasa continues his longterm project that focuses on the modulation of rhythms and grooves, which began with his first EP Rhythm Variations in 2009, released as part three of the Unun-series. Besides his collaboration with Raster-Noton, he released records on several labels like Commmons, Progressive Form and Op.Disc, produced remixes for well-known musicians like Ryuichi Sakamoto or Yoshihiro Hanno and played performances at, for example, Elektra/Montreal and Club Transmediale/Berlin, all in all making him a renowned producer in Japan and beyond.
Solens Arc is Kangding Ray‘s fourth album on Raster-Noton and the follow-up to his The Pentaki Slopes EP. Taking the arc as the purpose, the twelve songs of the record are arranged/ presented in the form of four variations, constructed from disintegrated melodic textures and dismantled beats.

In 2019, ASC decided it was time to return to the music that he grew up on. With a gentle nudge from Presha, the breakbeats were back in the mix and a slew of mid 90’s-inspired drum & bass ensued. The majority of the heavier break-oriented and edit-ladened were set aside for projects with Samurai, however, there were a grip of tracks that were more at home with the older atmospheric / intelligent styles of drum & bass from the mid 90’s.

Space was newly mixed by Ryoji Ikeda for this EP.
