Personal note from me, Futuregrapher, as an artist, label boss and a collector. This here is one of the best albums I have heard in a while. Absolutely something that would have been part of the Artificial Intelligence (series) from Warp. But here we are, in the future, still loving this kind of sound - and Móatún 7 is the new home for all the Electro-Soma people around the world. From the Soul is from the heart. Will be on 12" transparent lathe cut. Enjoy!"
With Death of Mishima, 祭司 takes a radical turn in his project. The root of vapor inspiration is still there, but they are no longer sampled songs, but pieces composed by me, searching for a long time for the right synthesizer that evokes the right sound. While I was composing I had various images in my head. I thought about the rain scene from Lost in Translation on repeat. But also to the madness hidden behind the beautiful and luminous mirrors that make up the great dystopian cities of our time and the future.
Oh Shuper Birthday 🎂 10" number 40 🏴☠️ Ooh wow!!!
& then we have a GREAT full length album from Fluffy Inside.
Acid, Ambient, Techno ⚫ absolutely lovely stuff. Comes in 💿 and as 12" transparent (first in two years at Bubble): But I select those (can only be few a year - and most go on Móatún 7) - but I wanted this in my collection as twelve inch
Then it's Anthurium 003 by Deeb! His Anthurium series is up to magical number 3. Comes in 10" -- all tracks on it except the ambient intro track
Oh Shuper 040 includes a mix I did for my friend and techno legend LaFontaine (and my little bro in music!!). It's called Svefnleysi (Futuregrapher MIx).& this Oh Shuper is dedicated to my BIG bro in music Metamatics
Real proud of that Svefnleysi mix! Very raw electro with ambient textures on top and the usual 💾 of some conversation with old Icelandic farmers. This time it's the "Jói" sample - but LaFontaine real name is Jóhannes and he is called Jói (like my son) and like one of my best mates (Jói from Epic Rain/Ghost Choir/Dalalæða)
That's why I always say "Jói's are the best" ❤️
(My father was Jói as well)
Jóhannes - a name many of us know in many versions - from all around the world, since thousands of years ago
Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who helped support my latest EP Epocha and those who attended the listening party. I’ve really enjoyed hosting these and it was great to chat with some of you.
This is my last involvement as head of Neo Ouija and i find it fitting that this release is a history lesson for myself to acknowledge all the fine music I have released on Neo Ouija over 24 years.
The compilation is free for a few days.Enjoy it..
Neo Ouija will be under new management from the summer.Lots to look forward to... Due to my time taken looking after Dana it is time for me to step away. Thanks to everyone who has shared the Neo Ouija journey with me.
My good friend and fellow electronic producer from Iceland, Gunnar T. aka Xylic, just released his first album for my label Móatún 7. To me - this is a wonderful piece of art - and you should take your time and download a copy of it today and enjoy it yourself. Great music. All written on the modular system at the Xylic facility.
Funny fact: his first release on Móatún 7 was on the 7" split #MOA035 and this is #UMFT035 so 35 is his number here it seems
Continuing with our celebrations for the 25th anniversary of DiN, for the rest of May the second ever release on DiN, “Distant Rituals” (DiN2) by Ian Boddy & Markus Reuter, will be free to download (name your price). The first of my many collaborations with acclaimed touch guitarist Reuter, combining synthesisers with looping, ambient guitars it was released alongside Box of Secrets (DiN1) and Strange Geographie (DiN3) to kickstart the launch of the DiN label way back in 1999.
Yesterday was my 53rd birthday ... would like to thanks you all for the 34 years pro that I've been making music .. here's a free download of the 1997 K7 Album " Tony Montana " real gangster techno .... mastered by POLE @ Dub Plates & mastering Berlin ( the home of Basic channel )
Hi all, I realised that I'd never put the Patio album I made with Michael (Jet Jaguar) up here on Bandcamp. It's been remastered and sounding really lush I think. Here's a bunch of download codes. Enjoy xo
"Pareidolia (/ˌpærɪˈdoʊliə, ˌpɛər-/;[1]also US: /ˌpɛəraɪ-/)[2] is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none
The concept of pareidolia may extend to include hidden messages in recorded music played in reverse or at higher- or lower-than-normal speeds, and hearing voices (mainly indistinct) or music in random noise, such as that produced by air conditioners or by fans
Thanks to my wife Lauren , A, M&J, & Árni and all the supporters and believers"

“It’s just too easy to make a standard dance track,” Aphex Twin said of his mindset back in 1992. “You’ve got to put a bit of thought into it to get something a bit different.”
‘Digeridoo’ was released on the Belgian R&S Records label in 1992, and originally peaked at #55 in the UK singles chart in May of that year. Over the last 32 years the track has become one of the essential Aphex Twin tracks in a gargantuan catalogue that continues to amaze and inspire.
“I wanted to have some tracks to play to finish the raves I used to play in Cornwall, to really kill everybody off so they couldn’t dance,” Richard D James, AKA Aphex, told Select magazine back in the 90s. “Digeridoo came out of that.”
Released as a 4 track EP that also included early Aphex productions (now classics) including the industrial, acidic clang of ‘Flap Head’ and hyperbolic futurism of ‘Isopropanol’, the release cemented a relationship with the R&S label that went on to release the ‘Xylem Tube’ EP and the pivotal album ‘Selected Ambient Works 85-92’ in the same year. The label’s owner & A&R Renaat Vandepapeliere reflected “When I first heard Aphex Twin’s music I said, ‘This is it!’, and everybody else said, ‘You’re crazy!’ …a lot of the hardcore R&S fans dropped us. To them it wasn’t music.”
‘Digeridoo’ (Expanded Edition) is the first time the EP has been re-issued with extra material. Whilst digging in his DAT archive (allegedly stored in an airtight military ammo box), Richard James revisited the recordings, encoding them through a Nakamichi CR7e cassette deck, using the customised deck with vari-speed to encode at speeds “felt right at the time”. Alongside these CR7e versions, the original mixes have been remastered by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven Mastering, offering a dilated insight into one of electronic music’s most endearing releases."
Nosnar -Born in 1977 and raised in the north of France, he was influenced by the synthetic wave of the Seventies (Kraftwerk, Vangelis...),In the 90's he bought various machines, and started programming sounds and music.
He has released music under the name Erell Ranson most recently on our dear friend Futuregrapher's label Móatún 7
(...) by Sad Graffiti aka Emanuele Liguori, who had already explored ambient in its darkest meanders with Buried Marie, here he comes across a dreamlike path through the cold mountains of an autumn nearing the end.

Back in 1997, we at Temporary Residence Ltd. had a novel idea: compile a Black Sabbath tribute album with experimental rock, folk, and electronic bands reinterpreting classic Ozzy-era Sabbath tunes. At the time it seemed like a unique idea, since such tributes were then executed primarily by washed-up glam bands or tired hardcore groups cheekily cashing in on nostalgic quasi-irony. Much has changed over the last eight years, of course. Black Sabbath did the unthinkable by reuniting and has since done so three times. Ozzy Osbourne became a household name with his startlingly popular MTV-produced reality show; to top it off, his children have become omnipresent pop culture irritants; in short, much of the world is ready for a break from the Osbourne clan. It is under these auspices, fittingly, that we proudly present the long-delayed Everything Comes & Goes, a tribute to the ultimate stoner-rock band.
Note: This release is a lot slower than the usual techno/electro on Intellitronic Bubble, but I wanted to make something special for my children on this special day. It's also #BandcampFriday (for another few hours - since everything is done slower these days)
Note II: These two tracks were recorded live on hardware gear and there were no edits or small fixes afterward. That's why there are some noises or slight 'mistakes' - but it is what it is.Minimal ambient techno. I wanted to give them their own record as an extra birthday present 🎂

UMFT was the room in my home for tapes/cassettes and has released some great music in this series. But unfortunately the tape business at Móatún 7 has gone on pause since our dear friends at Fairview Duplication retired after 43 years in the business They were established in 1981 and closed their doors now in March 2024. They did my master tapes and duplications. I thank them for being super professional, polite and finding all the good tricks in the book to send cheaper to my (stasi) country. They will be missed in this business
I can find another production dealer, of course, but at the moment I'm not into it
So as of today, 3rd of May 2024 (Happy birthday to my boys!!), UMFT will be releasing mini-albums / albums / joint projects (from same artist) and the vinyls will be sold as one packe (💿can be purchased seperately). The you can have the MOA_TRUSS option and have all for discount few can deny
Umbel is my third in a series of photo book/music projects. Presented as a photo zine in tandem with an album of music (CD & digital), Umbel follows previous offerings Faults, Coasts, Lines and Lux: Refractions. The zine collects a series of full colour photos taken in the dwindling light of dusk under a blossoming maple tree. Long exposures capture painted light and a shadowy canopy under a dimming sky. The images are gestural and murky - light layered and smeared - innocuous moments of time revealing hidden noise, shadows and depth. The music is similarly removed from real time. Synthesized passages are looped, layered and repeated, feeding back into themselves to form a contracting density.
Available to ship May 31, 2024. Edition of 300. See bandcamp for more info and to hear the first track:
