We are living through strange times. War spreads across the world, often at a distance, yet never truly far from us. A sense of freedom persists, but one that feels increasingly mediated and controlled by the very devices that connect us. Social injustices are becoming normalized, and entire populations are displaced or erased in plain sight. It is hard not to recognize this as the theatre of the absurd of our present day. For us, as Portuguese, even the memory of this day, the 25th of April, the Carnation Revolution, once a powerful symbol of liberation and collective awakening, is now slowly fading. “Theatre of the Absurd” is the label’s debut EP, produced by Floating Machine and Inerte, two of its six founders. Conceived as a conceptual work, it explores the absurd as both an aesthetic and a sonic language. Positioned between hypnotic bass and half time drum and bass, the EP constructs dense, cinematic atmospheres, where deep basslines and slowed rhythms carve out a dystopian, introspective universe. Structured in acts, the EP unfolds as an immersive narrative in which meaning emerges through tension, repetition, and rhythmic deconstruction, reflecting the fractured logic of the times we live in. credits released April 25, 2026 Produced & Mixed: Floating Machine & Inerte Mastering: Tema Mastering Artwork: Justin Case

Still on our radar: the minds behind the latest @crescent.london release. After last month’s Mato EP, it’s time to shine a light on the duo behind the magic - Floating Machine & Inerte✨ fm.i, a project born from a desire to explore sound, seeking traditional and ancestral sounds but with a contemporary perspective, breaking new ground. A journey through the sound universes of both protagonists in search of rhythmic, tribal, and ritualistic essence. In a constant search for paradoxes, the more organic rhythms of FLOATING MACHINE stand out, mixed with the pulsating and hypnotic electronics of INERTE (FONZO).

For their 9th EP, Art Bei Ton is very happy to welcome the talented Portuguese artists Floating Machine and Inerte with their new duo project, fm.i. This six-track journey explores the space between ritualistic rhythms, trippy textures, and hypnotic grooves, drifting into more abstract territories.

Diving deeper into the shadow, ‘Rufo’ offers a perfect ritualistic drums track, layered with dark pulses and hypnotic bleeps that drive into a tense, rhythm-focused trance state. ‘Sepia’ lifts the energy into hypnotic, trippy techno territory, where psychedelic textures and driving momentum create an uplifting, high-energy release. With ‘Ciano’, fm.i explores breaky rhythms that intertwine with ceremonial percussion, sci-fi textures, and twisted sound design, conjuring a mystical vibe. ‘Sinuoso’ explores the psy-tribe genre with a 170 BPM cut, channeling ritualistic percussion and trancey patterns into a feral, trance-driven journey. Closing the EP, Berlin-based artist Nnamael explores a broken-beat techno version of ‘Sepia’. Dark, atmospheric, trippy, and tense, it’s a great track to open a ceremony.
