Filmy Ghost - Golden Age Of Netlabels

MZ010 · Filmy Ghost - Golden Age Of Netlabels

Mutant Zones mix series returns with a tribute mixtape from Humanfobia's founder, producer, visual artist and curator Sabila Orbe, aka Filmy Ghost. The Chilean underground powerhouse has prepared a mixtape dedicated to a unique era in Internet history - a time when netlabels reigned over the online landscape and challenged ideas of collaboration, copyright and ownership. "Golden Age of Netlabels" is a 25-minute journey, told through songs from artists who were part of that movement between 2006 and 2010. Download and stream the mix here.

Jang Hun - A Girl Under The Streetlight

Jang Hun returns with his latest album "A Girl Under the Streetlight", a lush ambient work crafted over the past five years from layered guitar textures, tape loops, synths, and samples. Glimpses of drone, noise, and deconstructed shoegaze shine through nine ethereal soundscapes that convey a sense of longing and hope.

Morgve - Feast

Morgve's EP "Feast" is an ultimate digestif released after their previous album "Symphony For Those In Pain". Both dropped in 2024 and they complement each other perfectly. Like its predecessor, "Feast" is a wide-ranging collection of tracks that span multiple styles, showcasing the band's flexibility and confidence in taking on any genre. Nadia is unstoppable on vocals, equally comfortable rapping or singing, and she owns every beat. Music-wise, I must say I'm most drawn to the big room/techno singles, with the opening "Cut The Throat" being my favourite.

Death's Cold Embrace - The Complete And Utter Destruction Of Everything

The latest single from Death's Cold Embrace may be his best yet. "The Complete and Utter Destruction of Everything" lives up to its title - it's a gloomy, gothic ballad that had me bobbing my head from the start, reminiscent of the early days of King Dude. An EP is coming soon! Grab the track here.

STRFLL - Insanity Era Pt. III - I Wish I Could Go Back To How It Used To Be

STRFLL decided to release the third volume in the "Insanity Era" series, chronicling the recording process of their magnum opus "In Memoriam". It showcases all the early demo versions along with a handful of new and untitled tracks - a phenomenal view into the artist's initial drafts and sketches that further prove how much they grew as a producer.

Bone Valley label launch

I'm pleased to announce the official launch of my new label called Bone Valley. It will release exclusively 3" CDRs in limited editions and focus mainly on industrial, noise, dark ambient, drone and witch house. The first release from Ghost Mirror came out on July 29, and a new batch of three new EPs premiered today. These include "More" by White Columns, "Votive Deposit" by Pharmacist, and "Modernity" by Natural Orthodoxy. You can preview all CDRs here. Streams are available here, but there will be no digital downloads (unless directly from the artists).

J. Deasy / Primitive Gauze - Earth Fall

Irish composers Jonathan Deasy and Alan Doyle join forces for this magnificent, drone-heavy split tape "Earth Fall" on Hibernian Leather. J. Deasy's "The View From My Window" makes me feel as if I'm aboard a spaceship, slowly drifting on the edges of our galaxy, gazing into the cosmic void occasionally pierced by floating space debris. Primitive Gauze's side is more minimal, darker, and almost meditative in its slow, gradual progression, leading towards the dawn of something bleaker and more ominous. Amazing work.
