TM8 VA004 is out today. On this release, each artist delivers an engaging and evocative track, from introspective wormholes to potent post-midnight moments, resulting in a nuanced and sonically textured body of work.
KØLT co-founder AYIM (
@ayim.lotte ) opens the V/A with a cerebral touch on ‘Tier’, built by a sparse soundscape and layered with a tenebrous lead and gauzy grooves. It’s followed by So_N (
@solonyaa_so_n ), who begins ‘NB’ on a beatless note before descending into siren-shaped frequencies and resonant basslines.
On ‘Kråkesølv’, Oslo-based artist Vilde Wahl (
@vild_e_ ) evokes a bleep-ridden world led by a loopy melody, flecked with mechanical whirrs. Simrana (
@simranasounds ) sprinkles staccato beats between churning rhythms and metallic riffs on ‘Realm Ride’, forming a shadowy and quick-paced number.
anti-alias founder Emma Rak (
@_____verygood ) melds throbbing melodies with oil-slicked drums and dubby atmospheres on ‘Kali Tragus’, produced with razor-sharp precision. Xia (
@xiaaa.music ) closes the compilation on ‘Heart glitch’, stitching woody percussion between bird-like FX, culminating in a push-pull effect. It’s the kind of track that stays with you long after listening—much like the V/A itself, which embodies the label’s evolving ethos and emotional range.
