Lool 2 Luul – TTJ (Two Tier Justice)

Immerse yourself in the evocative world of “Two Tier Justice”, the latest episode in the groundbreaking series Obscurantizm by Lool 2 Luul. Conceived as an artistic exploration of a post-civilizational landscape, the series paints a vivid picture of a future where humanity clings to survival amidst the remnants of its own technological zenith.

In the universe of Obscurantizm, sand cities, mechanical structures, and enigmatic landscapes dominate a planet forever changed. Technological fragments endure, but a mysterious substance and a secretive council wielding “Rad Fio”—a boundless energy source—shape a fragile existence. This council’s relentless expansion of facilities and industrial complexes casts a long shadow over humanity, one that only deepens with the unfolding story of “Two Tier Justice”.

Set in the harrowing aftermath of a raid, “Two Tier Justice” follows survivors as they flee a crumbled city. Their journey through desolate towns becomes a study of pain, fleeting relief, and creeping despair. As the physical and psychological toll mounts, the corrupting influence of “Rad Fio” takes hold—a sinister development orchestrated by the council itself.

Musically, “Two Tier Justice” reflects this haunting narrative with a rich blend of Middle Eastern and anime-inspired motifs, layered with techno textures, cinematic landscapes, and dramatic themes. Field recordings infuse the soundscapes with organic depth, while samplers, synthesizers, drum machines, real percussion, cassette recorders, and CDJs weave intricate sonic tapestries. The meticulous editing process shapes an immersive auditory experience, where every note and effect tells a story.

“Two Tier Justice” invites audiences into a world both alien and deeply resonant—a place where the remnants of humanity struggle against forces beyond their control, grappling with fragility and the boundaries of survival.

Norfik – Hundredfold

In Hundredfold, Norfik invites listeners into a world where extremes collide and opposites attract. Across nine tracks, the artist deftly merges soft, ambient landscapes with ferocious drum patterns and seismic sub-bass, crafting an album that refuses to settle into any single genre or mood. It’s a push-and-pull between tranquility and chaos, a delicate balance of sound and fury that forms a singular, mesmerizing experience.

This is not music for a rave, nor is it a soundtrack for peaceful reflection. Instead, Hundredfold lives in the tension between those two realms—a place where lush atmospheres are disrupted by jagged beats, and hypnotic melodies dance with the pulse of raw energy. Field recordings, layered throughout, add a visceral, human touch to the mechanized madness, grounding the album’s cosmic flights with textures from the world outside.

Drawing inspiration from the evocative sounds of 90’s British electronic pioneers, the rhythmic intensity of Chicago Juke and footwork, and the industrial grit of Detroit electro, Hundredfold pays homage while charting its own course. Norfik weaves these influences into a sonic narrative that feels both timeless and entirely of the moment, blurring the line between ambient calm and percussive assault.

With each track, Hundredfold plays like an aural paradox—a soundscape as serene as it is volatile, as introspective as it is intense. This album embraces the beauty in contrast and the art in chaos.

VA – Golly

gol·ly
/ˈɡälē/
exclamation
1. an interjection expressing surprise, delight, wonder, puzzlement, pleasure, or the like.

Golly is more than a compilation—it’s a collection of moments, an exploration of space, texture, and rhythm from minds that reimagine the world through sound. Not bound by genre or geography, but by the spirit of innovation, this album invites you to lose yourself. Not in a club, not in a genre, but in sound itself—boundless, untamed, and beautifully unpredictable.

Twelve artists, scattered across the world, come together in a shared language of frequency and form, yet each voice remains distinct. A place where the lines blur between machine and soul, where movement isn’t always forward. Sometimes it spirals, hovers, waiting for the right moment to break free.

These sounds are transmissions from spaces we cannot see but can somehow feel, from nights that seem endless and mornings that break with quiet revelation. Each track evolves, breathes, and asks you to listen—not just with your ears, but with something deeper. The music is more than its parts; it’s a shared energy, a collective movement forward.

Jollies Records stands at the edge of the familiar and the unknown, where sound finds new life in unexpected places. Golly is an experience—a passage through sound that asks nothing of you but to let go and follow where it leads. With this release, the label continues to traverse the unknown, unearthing voices from every corner of the electronic music spectrum and giving them space to resonate.

The journey, as always, is more important than the destination.

Matthew Pepitone — MP3

Jollies Records is thrilled to announce the release of MP3, the latest album by Matthew Pepitone, co-founder of Pearsoll Peak. This new work, a captivating successor to MP2, ushers in a lush world of ambient soundscapes, resonating with the fluidity and rich textures of untamed terrain.

Crafted meticulously over nine months, MP3 was built with Pepitone layering an array of found sounds, samples, and modular synthesis. These range from personal iPhone field recordings to ambient noises sourced from random YouTube videos and vintage sound effect cassettes. The result is a soundscape that feels shifting and organic, as if directly drawn from nature’s own palette.

Adding to the album’s depth, Pepitone employed 500-Series processors to subtly enhance each track, imbuing the compositions with a sense of movement and life. During his recovery from minor foot surgery, he revisited and re-recorded the tracks, layering small doses of EQ, effects, compression, and saturation in real time. Inspired by Alvin Lucier’s “I am Sitting in a Room,” this meditative process allowed the sounds to evolve naturally, resulting in an auditory experience that is both gently weathered and beautifully polished.

“The process was almost meditative,” Pepitone explains. “Re-recording the songs while adjusting and fine-tuning the sound was something I could manage without leaving my bed.” The result is an album that feels deeply personal yet expansive—like observing a vast, untouched wilderness from afar, feeling the atmosphere and currents of sound swirl around you.

MP3 guides listeners on an enchanting journey through soundscapes that mirror the flowing essence of nature and the peaceful, recurring patterns of the world.

Jim Zweerts – Transients

Netherlands-based sound designer, producer, and visual artist Jim Zweerts proudly announces the release of his debut EP, ‘Transients.’ This collection, featuring music crafted over the past six years, represents a significant milestone in his versatile artistic career.

Zweerts’ music is a mix of dark, robust experimental beats and subtly layered soundscapes, challenging conventional genres and engaging listeners in a nuanced exploration of sound. “In my work, I explore the symbiosis of contradictions,” Zweerts explains, “playing with how these differences interact, serving either as complementary elements or as connectable points.”

‘Transients,’ a 4-track EP, showcases Zweerts’ unique approach to merging algorithmic processes with meticulous handcraft. Each composition is a testament to his innovative spirit, moving between raw textures and polished sound design, creating tension and intrigue.

Babak Ahteshamipour – Violent Violins Exposed

Dreaming and daydreaming, hoping and reaching out to the imaginary. Desires are thrusts, energized charges towards the lifeblood of existence filled with willingness, curiosity, vitality and inquisitiveness. In the pursuit of dreams, barriers and obstacles appear that slow us down and throw us out of orbit, causing us to drift into the void. They bring us toe to toe with despair, affliction and enlightenment. Violent Violins Exposed is a tale of brutal confrontations which shatter pure and naive dreams and transmute them into distorted nightmares. It dives into the frolicsome innocence that is abruptly confronted with the monstrous machine of technocapitalism and accelerationism, the repressed emotions and engineered desires, and the banishment of decay from capitalist discourse.

Violent Violins Exposed is the third album by Babak Ahteshamipour. It is a twisted turn towards abrasive, anarchistic, lunatic and coarse explosive compositions blended with hidden suave, malleable and tranquil spaces that wrestle to be heard. The tracks of the album feature modular, algorithmic and interchanging rhythmical patterns combined with scattered sequencers, cosmic pads and transposing arpeggios which are delivered within hardcore, aggressive and abstract soundscapes. The ambient soundscapes are consecutively interrupted by glitchy noises, growling frequencies and ferocious patterns as if they are being canceled and choked down. Yet the ambience fights back and attempts to reemerge as resculpted sounds, arpeggiated phrases and bursts of chords that engage into conversations with the interrupting attacks. This coexistence of nuanced elements and dynamics creates a symbiotic bond that meddles with the animating bedrock forces of each composition.

Sweepingly Violent Violins Exposed has an apocalyptic and dystopian touch to it, a manifestation of Babak’s concerns regarding war, technological singularity, extractivism, the passive participation in violence and the commodification of suffering. Technocapitalism is in an accelerated insatiable hunger for raw materials, which is manifested through geopolitical conflicts and environmental degradation. This obsessive desire for technological immortality and endless production and consumption doesn’t recognise decay as a universal force. They are part of a mainstream discourse that is passively imposed, singularly and collectively, by marketing and advertising campaigns, sculpting the impression that resources are infinite and capitalism is natural. A discourse that presents itself as the only way, creating a zombified numbness and a state of mental repression that terminates liveliness, creativity, benevolence and the imaginary, converting them into nihilist futility and escapist denials. Violent Violins Exposed is a memento of this state and a manifesto for symbiotic coexistence of hope and despair through a pulsing bond. Its motto is to transform our hopes and dreams into a dauntless fairy fist that has the power to puncture through the veil of despair and find new alternatives within the rifts to saturate our nightmares with vibrancy.

KAGAMI Smile – Melting_Heart_Data

“Melting_Heart_Data” rolls in like a distant fog; gossamer clouds of shapeshifting tendrils perform a finely calibrated dance. Massive sound walls ebb and flow into the scene; a rogue wave lit only by a strobing storm far out at sea.

KAGAMI Smile is a master at crafting soft-focus cinematic scenes, an achievement using a minimal sound palette and a hypnotic pulse, with subtle manipulations you feel more than hear. “Melting_Heart_Data” invites us to view eight deeply personal vignettes, scenes where we are met with fast-passed futurism, filled with ecstasy and vertical propulsion, and pastoral landscapes with moods of yearning and reflection.

It is in this ecstasy we heal and in reflection that we grow.
