Small Fires by Jeff Gburek + Eryk Nowacki
Released May 1, 2026 as free (cc) digital download and in beautiful limited CD edition.





"Our title Small Fires derives from the practice among certain Indigenous American people of making small fires periodically, often enough to prevent the build-up of fallen wood that could fuel large forest fires. It is also said that one makes a small fire to get close to, to get down to earth, keep warm, cook, and remain discreet, as opposed to the colonialist bonfire seen for miles off, done for show, to mark territory, frighten. These tracks were recorded at my (Jeff Gburek's) home studio in November, culled from two meetings a week apart. The online release is the workflow timeline of the second meeting with one twist: the final track was recorded during the first week. Deemed the only keeper, it became the subject of the remix (track 1) that I (Jeff) was working on when Eryk actually rang the door-bell (audible in the mix). Aside from level adjustments and some nip and tuck tail edits, this is the music that was played. The flow is unrushed, organic and felt very much then as an anticipation of Eryk's imminent departure for a month-long trip to India. I listened to the raw sessions on loop for hours in the first weeks before coming to the conclusion that I could not justify any edits and was very happy to dwell in the warm ambiance of this intimate recording session. Listening to, working on it, tending our Small Fires, helped to keep me in good spirits during that very difficult and harsh winter here in Poland. I hope it brings you half as much joy as it does to me."





Jeff Gburek: acoustic guitar, mandolin, modular synthesizers, prepared swarmandal, finger-snaps, hand-claps, jingle bells

Ysplo by Sabrinde
released April 24, 2026
There are albums that announce themselves with genre, and others that quietly dismantle the idea of genre altogether. Ysplo belongs to the latter. Conceived in 2002 and never formally released in the past, this body of work stands as a singular artefact: an electronic album that drifts through soundscape, industriall, experimental, IDM, drone and ambient—yet somehow remains internally coherent, as if all these divergent languages were dialects of one private tongue.
Behind the name Sabrinde is Dirk Pauwels, a Master in Audio-Visual Arts, whose practice has always leaned toward the liminal zones between disciplines, technologies, and emotions. Ysplo does not attempt to “fit” anywhere. It resists shelving, refusing the neat taxonomy of electronic subgenres. Instead, it behaves like a weather system: mutable, layered, and often unpredictable, yet guided by an underlying climate that feels intentional and strangely intimate.
The album’s tone is marked by continual transformation. Moments of near-silence and suspended ambience give way to sudden pulses, fractured rhythms, or industrial surges. Beats appear, vanish, and reappear in altered forms: textures swell and recede like tides. Sentiment oscillates between austerity and warmth, tension and release, abstraction and a faint, human fragility. The listener is never allowed to settle into a single emotional posture. Each track seems to question the one before it, proposing a new atmosphere, a new logic of movement, a new way of inhabiting sound.
What makes Ysplo especially remarkable, however, is not only its aesthetic ambition but its technical austerity. The entire album was constructed from a single stereo track in Sound Forge. There were no loop or glitch tools, no automation curves, no undo lists—only manual editing, performed with patience and risk. Every cut, every transition, every layering of sound was a deliberate commitment, irreversible in its moment. This working method gives the album a tactile quality, as if each sonic gesture bears the imprint of the hand that shaped it.
In a medium often defined by infinite reproducibility and non-destructive editing, Ysplo insists on finitude and consequence. The soundscapes breathe with the tension of decisions that could not be undone. The ambient passages are not decorative but meditative, holding space for the listener to linger inside the architecture of sound itself.
To listen to Ysplo is to step into a shifting interior landscape. It is not an album that offers hooks or easy narratives. Instead, it invites slow attention, curiosity, and a willingness to drift without a map. Its coherence does not come from stylistic unity but from a deeper consistency of intent: a devotion to exploration, to texture, to the emotional resonance of abstract form.
Though unreleased, Ysplo remains a quietly radical work—an early-2000s artifact that feels curiously untethered from its time. It stands as a testament to what can emerge when technical limitation meets artistic stubbornness, and when genre boundaries are treated not as rules but as raw material.
In the end, Ysplo is less an album than a sonic terrain: difficult to define, impossible to reduce, and deeply rewarding for those willing to wander its contours.
Immerse yourself – headphones recommended!

Echoes Of The Silver Screen by Mantris
released April 19, 2026
Mantris first shared music with the world around three decades ago as the driving force, together with Christoph Waelkens, behind house outfits The Black Sun and Brown Hardware Inc. with early 90s releases on cult label Elektron. A productive music career was forecasted, but Mantris then vanished into thin air, until early 2020s when new solo studio productions by Mantris started to happen. "I’m So Many People", his masterpiece debut album on Mahorka, a journey, unfolding from darkness to hope, was remastered and released in 2024, although it was recorded 2-3 years earlier. Compared to his earlier albums, this new one was even more focused on sound progression, fused with melodies and chords.
"Echoes Of The Silver Screen" is his second album coming out on the label. Its story, although separate, is related to that of the first one and other Mantris works created in the same period after COVID hit in 2021 and his daily life totally changed without a job for a year. During that time, he poured himself into music and recorded 1 EP (which he is currently reworking) and 4 albums, including the two on Mahorka, of which "Echoes Of The Silver Screen" is the last to be completed.
That same year 2021 he was looking into the idea of writing music for motion picture productions. He cold-emailed an Indian director based in New York regarding possible collaboration who replied that he was shooting a thriller short film and needed proper background music for a scene. Mantris whipped something up, and he loved it. It was his first time doing anything like that. The short film's working title was "Hummingbird", and, notably the Mantris track for it also included hummingbird sounds. Although he never heard back from the director and, apparently, that film was never released, this work inspired him to explore further this musical direction. The end result is "Echoes Of The Silver Screen", where you can also recognize the reworked soundtrack by the hummingbird sounds still there.
Composed and produced by Mantris

Conte de la pensée dernière by Internal Fusion
released April 10, 2026
Eric Latteux aka Internal Fusion is a dark ambient artist, born in 1964, based in Britany (France). He has been active since the early '90s and made a name with his unique sound, with notable releases on Staalplaat, Désaccord Majeur, Kokeshidisk, Taâlem, Oxidation and Attenuation Circuit, as well as series of exclusive releases at his Bandcamp page.
Internal Fusion debuted on Mahorka in 2022 with the highly acclaimed "IWWA" album. 4 years later, he is back with a blast - a fresh new album for the label, "Le conte de la pensée dernière", coming again as free (cc) digital download and in beautiful limited CD edition.





This album has been fully inspired by a book called "The story of the last thought" from Edgar Hilsenrath ("Le conte de la pensée dernière" in French). This is, actually, more a tale than a story.... Seven of the fourteen chapters have been illustrated/covered here.

Gramophonelemental by WDX
"Gramophonelemental" by WDX re‑imagines Wave Debb’s original field‑recording concept under the same name, released on Matt Atkins' Minimal Resource Manipulation label (mrmrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/gramophonelemental), through the lens of their signature aesthetic: raw industrial field recordings married to minimalist electronic sequencing. Where the original EP leaned into a lo‑fi, grunge‑inflected collage of earth, fire, metal, water and wood, the WDX version strips away the grunge veneer and foregrounds the mechanical ritual of the gramophone itself. WDX has taken the same source material but processed it with their characteristic granular synthesis, loop manipulation, and in your face sub‑bass drones.
The WDX Edition of "Gramophonelemental" stands as a compelling reinterpretation that honors the source material while injecting a distinct, kinetic energy characteristic of WDX’s oeuvre. It transforms the ritualistic act of playing a gramophone into a sonic meditation on decay, heat, and fluidity, inviting listeners to hear everyday objects in a new, almost ceremonial light.
For fans of experimental field‑recording, granular sound design, and minimalist industrial composition, this LP is a noteworthy addition to the canon of contemporary sound art.

Intercelestial by Record Of Tides
Released March 27, 2026 as free digital download and in limited audio cassette edition.





Written, performed and produced by Sven Piayda in August 2025
Record Of Tides is the stage name of acclaimed German multidisciplinary media artist Sven Piayda. Within the project he blends different musical styles and production methods moving between electronica, post hip-hop, avant-garde and post rock into post-genre while live performances are usually accompanied by his visuals and video installations. Piayda looks back on releases and gigs over two and a half decades and continues to stand out with his diverse sound – remaining both distinctive and trailblazing.
The ‘Intercelestial’ album – the Record Of Tides debut on Mahorka – draws its primary inspiration from a summer trip to the Dutch North Sea, where Piayda took some time to enjoy albums of (mostly) German electronica artists. Back home he started working on new tracks which all ended up in the album. He was supported by long-time friend, musician and producer Michael Schreiber (Primal Scapes), who once again mastered the album and contributed visual material featured in the artwork.



The album is escorted by two music videos as directed by Sven Piayda: ‘Nice Try’ released parallelly to the album, ‘Filets’ a little time later.
‘Nice Try’ on YouTube: youtu.be/jVvHhH5gMjI

On November 22, 2025 the Eunoia in Mülheim an der Ruhr hosted the Novembertronica Festival curated by Alex Kupsch featuring live sets Shunsoke Oshio, Thomas Machoczek and Record Of Tides. Within his set Sven Piayda teased numerous live versions of unreleased tracks like ‘Nice Try‘, ‘Superdusk‘, ‘Kitchen Spam‘ and ‘The Beach Crate‘ which turned out to be material from the ‘Intercelestial’ album.

‘Ivo was into the ‘On A Spectrum’ album, so I offered him a compilation EP back in spring 2025, instead he asked for new material to be released on Mahorka. To my own surprise, I finished the ‘Intercelestial’ album in August 2025 and we agreed on a release date in spring 2026, which left plenty of time to develop the tape artwork and music videos.

Progressus by Grosso Gadgetto
Released March 22, 2026 as free (cc) digital download and Limited Edition Double Digisleeve CD.





Grosso Gadgetto is the alias of French electronic music producer Christian Gonzalez, known for his intricate blend of ambient, hip-hop, industrial and experimental sounds. With a background rooted in both traditional and modern electronic music, Gonzalez has carved out a niche for himself by creating immersive sonic landscapes that challenge the listener's perception of time and space. His work is marked by a deep sensitivity to sound texture, often using layered synths, field recordings and organic instruments to create evocative atmospheres. Over the years, Grosso Gadgetto has gained recognition for his contributions to the underground electronic music scene and his ability to cross genre boundaries with ease while retaining his distinct sound.
"For this album, Progressus, I wanted to do something different: very melodic tracks, sad but not aggressive, an easy-to-listen-to and soothing, yet deep, album. It addresses the urban planning of my city, which has grown from 120,000 to 170,000 inhabitants, while the political objective is 200,000. Vertical, horizontal, concrete has replaced greenery; each tower hides another, which in turn blocks the sun. My city is called Villeurbanne, also known as Villa Urbana, hence the album titles in Latin."

BlackHazr by BlackHazr
BlackHazr is a new solo project/alter-ego of Pedro Maras, exploring new territories and concepts with his unique approaches to sound and music.
"BlackHazr means black danger. This project originated in the mountains of Alentejo, Portugal. Spending months there, immersed in the silence, I noticed the sounds whenever I visited busier cities. I recorded these sounds and edited them into these compositions."



And just as the debut albums of his highly acclaimed BedouinDrone project ("The Border", 2018) and under his own name ("The Tipping Point", 2020), the BlackHazr debut also comes out on Mahorka, but unlike them (beautiful cassette editions), this album arrives in a special digipak CD + booklet edition with imagery aligned with each track.

BlackHazr - BlackHazr

To The New You by Philippe Neau + LR Friberg
released March 7, 2026
Philippe Neau lives and works in France. His artistic practice circles around a single pursuit: the shaping of an imaginary landscape. Each work reaches toward a mental topography, a place that exists somewhere between perception and projection. His music summons these spaces through non-narrative form, built from muted field recordings, organic collages, abstract tonal fragments, rumbling glitches, atonal gestures, metallic textures and distant, half-remembered voices. The atmosphere often thickens into density. His palette is sharply contrasted, moving in the shifting interval where familiarity blurs into the uncanny. The sound swells, envelops, inhabits. These sonic terrains carry the listener into a state of immersion, an encounter with a place that is felt rather than described.
LR Friberg is a Swedish composer, mastering engineer and narrative artist whose work bridges sound and speculative fiction. Her music begins in mathematical processes - cellular automata generating evolving harmonic structures - and grows into immersive, emotionally driven ambient landscapes. Each piece functions as both music and world-building: sonic fragments of the ongoing fictional universe she writes, where light, place and connection shape atmosphere as much as melody. Her focus is precision, mood and storytelling through sound.
This collaboration emerged through a suggestion from Ivo Petrov at Mahorka for the "Making Things Happen: Netlabel Day 10th Anniversary Compilation", released in the summer of 2025. While their contribution to that compilation carried an ironic glint, this album moves in a different direction - principled, disciplined and fully aligned with their respective aesthetics. Philippe's textural density and shadowed abstraction meet LR's luminous ambiences and patient rhythmic pulses, coalescing into a sound world reminiscent of the early pioneers of drifting electronic landscapes: spacious, enveloping, deep-focus environments where harmonic movement unfolds slowly and soft pulses act less like beats and more like shifting tectonic plates beneath the surface. The result is an immersive sonic terrain where two distinct artistic languages converge into a shared, resonant place.

The light through the window was the color of boiled bone. Soft, grey-tinted, the kind that never truly warms a room but presses gently against every surface like damp linen. It was early, or late. Time blurred a little in Oxelbergen, especially this time of the year, when the sun arrived tired and left without drama.
Elin stood barefoot in the center of her apartment, motionless, the way you do when you're trying to decide if you've just gone mad or if the world has finally stopped pretending it makes sense.
Her flat was modest, first floor in a kind of pale brown apartment building that filled half of southeastern Norrköping. Slightly sun-faded, damp in the winter, always vaguely nostalgic without ever being beautiful. Outside, you could hear birds. Not city birds, but the crisp, unhurried calls from nearby trees. The wind filtered faintly through the open window, carrying a scent that was half wet soil, half municipal park. A distant dog barked. Somewhere beyond, a tram whispered past.
Inside: stillness.
Except that two men were standing in her flat.
Or not.
Elin raised one arm, carefully, precisely, and poked her index finger into the shoulder of the nearest one. He didn't vanish. He didn't blur, or phase, or flicker. He winced.
Solid.
Fabian, now looking mildly offended, reached out and touched the second man on the shoulder. His hand landed. Firm. Real.
Chris took a slow inhale and then wrinkled his nose.
"Smells stale in here," he said. "Books. Paper."
Elin opened her mouth to retort but didn't get the chance. Chris sneezed.
He looked sheepish. "Do you have a cat?"
"Iris," Elin said automatically, "and... wait. Wait. Hold on."
She raised both hands, not in fear, but in the universal gesture of a scientist halting an experiment.
"You're not here," she said slowly, as if trying to negotiate reality back into place. "I mean, you are here. But... how?"
Chris shrugged, as if that solved it. "We're all cuckoo now, I guess."
Fabian looked slightly ill. "I thought it was my meds," he muttered. "But no. I stopped. Tried others. No change."
Elin stared at both of them, then nodded, once. Tight. "I'm making coffee."
No one stopped her.
She moved to the kitchen, started her old drip machine. The sound of it was grounding. Coffee: real, tangible, logical.
Chris tilted his head. "Smells good."
Fabian sniffed once. "Egyptian coffee smells better."
Elin rolled her eyes in a way only Swedes could, half-disdain, half-amusement, and handed them each mismatched mugs from her open cabinet. One said "Liseberg" in flaking pink letters. The other had a cracked image of the Stockholm skyline.
They sat on her couch, Chris lounging like he was back in a bar somewhere, Fabian more upright, observant, the kind of person who memorizes where the exits are. Elin stayed standing, one hand resting lightly on her bookshelf, knuckles brushing the spines.
Chris sipped. "Nice."
Fabian frowned. "Missing the cardamom. The spices."
Elin didn't reply. She was staring at her own cup, the ceramic still warm in her palm.
"This can't be happening," she said. Not to them. Not really to herself either.
"Physics still works," she continued. "So unless I hallucinated that..." she gestured at their mugs, "...when you leave, I'll have two cold cups of coffee sitting on my table. Full. Untouched."
Then...
A tear in the air.
It was silent. Organic. Like the world cracked but not with violence, more like it birthed something, and Elin was pulled through it. Not falling, not flying. Slipping. Fast. Sliding through a membrane colored purple and pink and something like ash. Less than a second. No breath. No decision.
She landed on a rooftop.
Sun, brutal and omnipresent. The kind of heat that made her clothes feel too tight. She staggered forward, her mug still in hand. The world burned white and ochre. Not Sweden. Not even Europe.
The sky was endless and the buildings were unfamiliar. Cracked concrete, railings that glinted, the distant sound of Cairo alive and buzzing below.
Fabian and Chris were already seated in chairs, no mugs.
Fabian stood up without surprise. Slipped inside the adjoining flat and returned with a small tray, elegant cups balanced like an offering.
Fresh coffee. Thick. Dark. Fragrant.
Elin opened and closed her mouth. Then...
"My mugs are gone."
She turned the sentence over like a coin. "Okay. That makes sense. But how did you..." she gestured at the tray, at the cups, "how did you manage this?"
Fabian looked shy. Shrugged. "I had a feeling guests were coming."
Elin blinked. "That's extremely un-Dutch of you."
"I'm half Arab," Fabian said, smiling faintly. "Environment brings it out."
Chris opened his mouth to speak, paused, then sighed.
He took the cup from the tray. Held it in both hands. Sipped. His eyes closed.
"This is good," he said, the words stretching out like he was settling into them. "Actually... relaxing."
He glanced at the others. "I was in Dallas. Morning coffee. Then I was in your flat, Elin. Then here. So I guess I've had the same coffee three times today."
Elin didn't reply. Couldn't. She looked down at her cup, now lighter, now holding spice and sugar.
Chris turned toward the sun. "It's weird as hell," he said. "But kind of nice. I've been daydreaming about faraway places my whole life. Did it as a kid. Did it every day. So honestly? This just feels like one more."
He smiled. Not big. But real.
Elin nodded slowly. "Feels like a vacation," she admitted.
Fabian raised his cup.
Elin and Chris joined him.
No toast was spoken. No words needed.
Just three cups lifted to a sun.

Drowned Memory by MEION
released February 28, 2026
Born Vladimir Genadiev, MEION starts producing electronic music and DJing from early age. Common features of his works are industrial atmospheric elements and raw power.
MEION is persuing to bring fresh energy and innovations in bass music and has developed a unique and distinctive signature sound featuring specific heavy basslines, variety of colorful yet deep cinamatic textures and technically intricate yet powerfully kicking drum sounds and patterns.
"Drowned memory", MEION's debut on Mahorka, is a mini-album showcasing a more abstract side of his music. Dark, fractured beats and deep, rumbling bass, hollowed by heavy grooves, cinematic industrial atmospheres and raw electronic power, simultaneously induce head‑nodding and submerge the listener in a state of tension where memories clearly hold sway...

MEION - Drowned Memory

Echo Mist Light by Wahn
released February 20, 2026
Wahn is an electronic music producer based in Rennes, France, whose work explores the blurred edges between techno, ambient, and bass-driven sound design. His music is built around texture, weight, and duration - where rhythm exists as pressure rather than propulsion, and sound unfolds in slow, immersive layers.
The Drifted series marked a defining phase in his work: a body of releases rooted in rhythmless and slow-motion ambient music, shaped by heavy sub-bass, grain, and cinematic restraint. Each volume is released on a different label and in a different country, turning the series into an ongoing journey beyond comfort zones and algorithmic habits.
Across his releases, Wahn develops a deeply physical approach to sound. Sub-bass is central - not as impact, but as presence - while drones, echoes, and organic textures shape spaces that feel both intimate and unsettled. Melodic elements, often sparse and fragile, offer moments of breath and quiet clarity within darker emotional landscapes.
Whether working in ambient forms or moving toward more rhythmic territories - techno, dub-inflected structures, or hypnotic repetition - his music remains introspective and tactile. Wahn’s sound is less about narrative than sensation: a suspended state where tension, melancholy, and faint light coexist, resonating long after the music fades.



Echo Mist Light unfolds as a dense, inward form of techno - heavy, blurred, and suspended in echo. The music moves through foggy territories where rhythm is present but never dominant, shaped by pressure, repetition, and the slow accumulation of texture. Dub-inflected delays stretch time, while ambient drones linger beneath the surface, anchoring the listener in a space that feels both physical and psychological.
There is a constant tension throughout the album: unease without collapse, weight without aggression. Sub-bass plays a central role - not only as sound, but as sensation - pressing against the body, grounding the mind, reinforcing a feeling of persistence rather than momentum. The tracks seem to circle their own gravity, caught in loops, phases, and residual motion.
Yet Echo Mist Light is not closed or entirely dark. Within the mist, moments of clarity appear. Melodic fragments and restrained harmonies surface quietly, carrying a fragile sense of openness and release. Light does not arrive as resolution, but as something that holds - brief, subtle, and necessary. A glow rather than a breakthrough.
Balancing techno, ambient, and dub aesthetics, the album inhabits a liminal space where repetition becomes introspective and intensity turns inward. Echo Mist Light is music for suspended states - where pressure, doubt, and calm coexist, and where something continues to resonate long after the sound fades.



Composed, produced and mastered by Wahn

The Acoustic Cornet, an hommage to  Leonora Carrington by Philippe Petit
Released February 14, 2026 as free digital download and in limited audio cassette edition.





Long before her work was fully seen, Leonora Carrington lived in the margins of Surrealism.
The Acoustic Cornet takes its title from Carrington’s dark, delirious novel.
The story follows Marion Leatherby. Ninety-nine years old. Almost deaf. Living quietly in Mexico, knitting cat hair, listening to the world fade.
Through it, Marion overhears what was never meant to be heard.
From there, reality fractures.
Women inhabit houses shaped like igloos, cakes, fantasies.





This album does not retell the story.
Philippe Petit approaches Carrington’s text as one would approach a signal coming from another frequency.
Here, sound behaves like Carrington’s prose.
The music wanders through hidden corridors, riddles, vertiginous descents. It inhabits the space between lucidity and delirium, between laughter and menace. Nothing settles. Everything listens.
The Acoustic Cornet is not a tribute cast in bronze.
An invitation to lean closer.
And to accept that once you listen this way, there is no going back.

Sciócaz by Love Sea Sick
Love Sea Sick is a noise sound incubator and collective that finds its ground in the sonic paths run by the founders David and Nino.
The journey leverages on capturing memory exploitation instincts and emotional streamlining shivers, honouring the jazz improvisation best traditions applied to musical a broad vocubalry of musical fields, spacing between ambient, noise, math and whatever life brings them through.
David has a deep and long involvement in the ambient and electroacoustic scene under monickers such as Tropic of Coldness, Drawing virtual Gardens and Cernichov (including on Mahorka with the album "We are all deaf" in 2024) while Nino made himself on the road from the early 00’, touring extensively US and Europe with different punk/no wave projects such as Dada Swing and Elvis Trauma Center.



"Sciócaz" is the Love Sea Sick debut on Mahorka. Released February 6, 2026 as free (cc) digital download and in beautiful limited cassette edition.

Síntesis boreal
Esta pieza surgió como una experimentación con la idea de los triángulos, sus búsquedas de balance y de síntesis. Me sentía atraída por la energía del sol y los eventos cósmicos como eclipses y auroras boreales, así que los puse a danzar y a atravesarse. Cuando escuché el álbum de Stefan ‘’Demand the Impossible’’ sentí que mi experimentación le venía perfectamente por el juego de voces entre el bajo y las notas un poco más agudas e insistentes de esta obra. De algún modo, veía también los triángulos en su música y los tonos ‘boreales’ sobre fondo oscuro. En ambas obras: la musical y la visual, percibo desplazamientos y formas que se cruzan. Cuando ambos triángulos se encuentran, ¿es el sol un testigo de aquel eclipse o es acaso una fuerza oculta?

It felt unlikely that this recording session would actually happen in Sofia, Bulgaria, but I am really happy that it did and I can share this moment in time. I had played a concert in Sofia that same evening hosted by Tsvetan Tsvetanov of the experimental Bulgarian National Radio program Alarma Punk Jazz. After the show finished I rushed over to the basement studio, AD 57, just before midnight. Sound engineer Yoncho Pavlov generously agreed to record this session super late and we recorded until just before 2 am in the morning. After the session I ran back to the apartment where I was staying with Canadian activist scholar Ezra Winton, packed my bags and rushed to the airport for a flight to Berlin that was set to depart at around 6am.
Despite all the rushing around this recording, the mood and feeling of the sound reminds me of the stars. In certain parts of Sofia there aren’t a lot of street lights and the sky feels close to touch. The mountains that shape the Bulgarian landscape also hold a presence and vibe in the capital city. While playing piano I was thinking of the sky above, the stars and the lands around Sofia and the Balkan region. This project is important to me because of my Bulgarian roots, my father is Macedonian Bulgarian. It was a long road from growing up in Canada to finally making it back to Bulgaria and to finding a path to work on this recording and music in Sofia. I hope that you can feel the emotional resonance in the piano tones.
Another layer to this recording is the fact that recording took place in the context of the Israeli state’s military attacks on the Palestinian people in Gaza. The recording took place in November and the horrifying news coming out of Gaza spanked an intense need to take action around the world. In the week before this recording I had been with friends at protests and events to mobilize for Palestine in Montréal, Amsterdam and London. I was often thinking about Palestine during this recording session and the critical importance of sustaining an involvement and finding ways to support Palestine throughout my lifetime. Walking with and supporting the Palestinian struggle for freedom and against colonialism is one of the essential progressive causes of our time, we must never be silent and always find ways to stand up when Palestine is in the headlines and critically when it is not. I certainly was thinking of my Palestinian friends and comrades around the world who have played such an important role in my life over the last decades throughout this recording, that is the honest truth. I hope that you can hear the sense of commitment and urgency around supporting Palestine that I have carried and acted upon my entire adult life.
Thank you for listening to this solo piano recording from Sofia, it means a lot to me, sending love from Montreal.
///
When Stefan sent me his recordings from this session in Sofia, my first reaction was "this is a true event of synchronicity", as I had been there just a few weeks before, experiencing some very special moments in that city. Initially, Stefan simply asked me to work on the pieces alone, adding samples and field recordings. I did so, but his piano playing inspired me to create more complex arrangements. Consequently, I asked my friend Saverio Rosi if he would be willing to work with his OP-1, adding some bass layers. He was inspired and went on to add synthetic wind instruments as well. At that point, we had two-thirds of the Open to the Sea band involved, so it felt natural to bring Enrico Coniglio in. It took some time to find the right spaces within the pieces, but he managed to play guitar on a couple of the tracks, providing subtle and very discreet layers of arrangement. We then sent the result to Stefan, who was enthusiastic: "I love the sense of space, the interplay that you all bring into the space, all the heart in the playing." So here is the result.

Collected not lost 2015-2025 vol.1: drone and teknoiz by Autonomаton
Released January 17, 2026
"Collected not lost" is a decade of Autonomaton's work, outside of LPs and EPs, collected. The music was released in the period from 2015 to the end of 2025. It's done mostly through dubbing and overdubbing sound approaches. Both computer and hardware were used. Programmed or live. The tracks included have been released mostly on VA collections of works, through various online labels from around the globe: Animal Breaks (BE); Treetrunk (USA); DIGITAL DIZZY (UK) - dismissed; EcoSci (BG); eden.deeply (AU); Linear Obsessional Recordings (UK); Petroglyph Music (NOR); Studio 4632 (USA) - dismissed; Cian Orbe (CL); We are all ghosts (UK); Cousin Silas Emporium (UK); Doomcore Records (DE); L.O.T.R (FR); Attenuation Circuit (DE); Mahorka (BG); and couple of self-released entities. Included are various (re)mixes, versions and rebuilds for different artists like Cousin Silas, Passenger of Shit, Mystfied, Emerge!, Protuberance, Teeth of Divine and couple others. These three albums will take you mostly through 3 aspects of Autonomatons sound - teknoiz, ambient drone and dub breakz, reflected also in the title of each volume. The music on the albums will follow this trajectory, starting with noises and drones, then turning to more fluffy ambient and in the final chapter entering the zone of dub and breakz.
All music couresty of Nikolay Stanchev a.k.a. Autonomaton

New Eon by Yzymyr
released December 26, 2025
"...The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age..." – H. P. Lovecraft.

Our Endless Waltz between Wonder and Mud by Fallen
Released December 21, 2025, Fallen's brand new album "Our Endless Waltz between Wonder and Mud", coming out in beautiful digipak CD edition, is the artist's second with Mahorka after his debut on the label "Soft Skin Eternal Verses", released in 2022 on cassette.



Fallen's notes about the album:
"Our Endless Waltz.." came to light in a very delicate and intense period in my life, with great changes from many angles.
Musically, this very precious to me new album of mine, keeps going in the direction established by my very first Móatún 7 release in 2023 and after my most recent releases on Intellitronic Bubble, Neotantra, Shimmering Moods Recs and ROHS!, where my ways and approaches to electronic ambient music have started to become much more dynamic, whilst never losing (instead, enhancing it, in my opinion) my will/aim to sound as spontaneous as possible, without forcing anything, as usual.
This album is about Love and Resilience and how much this messed up world, keeps going ahead with his crazy race, losing grip day after day, in a cruel way we aren't able to discuss with open heart, without the will of hurting each other. This is Our Endless Waltz.
I could say the album is pretty connected and tied up to the Victorian Era, in terms of literature and poetry before all. I grew up with that Era in my heart and this time I have done a concious tribute, including with graphic ides - references to the XIX century.



Written, Composed, Performed, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by Fallen between January and March 2025
