We’re delighted to welcome new signing to the label, Sina. Her debut single ‘Olympus’ is out this Wednesday and her LP for Somewhere Press arrives late this year. Sina is a member of the Naarm collective Dregs, whose self-titled debut (2023) drew dub, trip-hop and club-derived atmospheres into something sensuous, hypnotic and swampy. Her new alias moves deeper – slow atmospheric composition, reverbed guitar, and ethereal vocals that shimmer through accumulating layers of dub, noise and doom. 📷 by Lucius Brand @neurodanc3r

Somewhere Press return to EXIT tomorrow night Thursday 16th April for their third label event in the space. @somewhere.press Somewhere Press is a Glasgow record label exploring leftfield electronics, dream pop and dark ambient — music held in the echo and residue of voice, field recording and drone. There’s pop, folk and even jazz in there somewhere, but all those elements are filtered through the label’s wide spread of influences. Their previous shows at EXIT have brought together live sound and immersive performance, with appearances from Alliyah Enyo, Susu Laroche, Sean Being, Florian Zeisig, and more. For this instalment, they welcome transnational artist Dania, whose 2025 album Listless was included in The Guardian’s experimental albums of the year. She will be joined by underground cult figure The Dengie Hunred, and Glasgow-based artists slyn and Ellie Ford. Expect transcendent vocals, hypnotic improvised electronics and playful diversions into dub and leftfield ambient. - Somewhere Press x EXIT Thursday 16th April 1900-2300 EXIT Dania (Live) The Dengie Hundred (Live) Ellie Ford & slyn (Live) Soundtracked by Somewhere Press Tickets available via RA & OTD @dania_paralaxe @elliefordmusic @_slyn___ Photography by @lizzieurquhart

Next week @exitglasgow 🌀 three live sets from Dania, The Dengie Hundred and Ellie Ford & Slyn, soundtracked by Somewhere Press. Advance tix available at a lower cost via RA. Limited number of tix are also reserved for those unwaged or on UC, please reach out to be added to the list. @dania_paralaxe @elliefordmusic 📸 by @stroemera @_slyn___ 📸 by @stroemera — Dania is a transnational artist, musician, curator and night-shift emergency doctor based in Barcelona. Her practice focuses on identity, borders and displacement, using samples and field recordings, and her voice as a tool of cultural and gender agency. Her recent album Listless for Somewhere Press, inspired by the nocturnal hours, melds trip-hop, shoegaze and ambient with a touch of pop into a blissful, eerie dream-like haze. London's The Dengie Hundred is the mind behind a slew of cult underground records over recent years, as Blackwater on Ethbo Music, with Japan Blues on Demdike Stares DDS imprint, solo for the excellent Sagome label, and more recently, the subtle and eviscerated dream-pop of his 2024 collaboration with writer and singer, Gemma Blackshaw. Glasgow-based sound artists Ellie Ford & slyn are each compelling artists in their own right, with roots in the city's fertile DIY scene. They debuted their new collaborative project at the You Are Not Made of Sugar comp launch show in February 2026. Ellie Ford works with harp, tape loops, and acoustic and analogue processes - building layered soundscapes through feedback, drone, and environmental recording. Gravity Pleasure co-founder slyn brings together experimental music, sound art, and marine ecology, drawing on hydrophones, field recordings, vocals, and textural electronics.

Our annual label showcase @90mil___ returns next month 🕊️ Live sets from Dania, Ugnė Uma, The Dengie Hundred and Alexandra Gruebler, soundtracked by Somewhere Press. Tickets are OTD only, join our telegram group for updates and further info. Poster by @mushetofernandez 🤍 @dania_paralaxe @ugneuma @baal_mortimer — Dania is a transnational artist, musician, curator and night-shift emergency doctor based in Barcelona.

Her recent album Listless for Somewhere Press, inspired by the nocturnal hours, melds trip-hop, shoegaze and ambient with a touch of pop into a blissful, eerie dream-like haze. Berlin-based Lithuanian artist Ugnė Uma draws from a wide palette of influences - jazz and folk, lo-fi house, post-no wave - yet her sound remains entirely her own. Spellbinding vocals drift across looped bass and haunted upright piano, melding experimental poetry and jazz. The atmosphere she conjures is Lynchian in texture: smoky, dimly lit, alive with a beautiful unease. London's The Dengie Hundred is the mind behind a slew of cult underground records over recent years, as Blackwater on Ethbo Music, with Japan Blues on Demdike Stares DDS imprint, solo for the excellent Sagome label, and more recently, the subtle and eviscerated dream-pop of his 2024 collaboration with writer and singer, Gemma Blackshaw. Alexandra Gruebler is a Berlin-based composer, producer and performer of electroacoustic music. She is especially interested in the alchemical properties and speculative spaces of autonomy in sonics, voicing and ryhthm. She has primarily released under the baal & mortimer alias, but more recently under own name, as on the recent V/A for Somewhere Press.

'The Black Hill, The Glass Sky', available now via Bandcamp and Boomkat. The project takes shape around a text by art historian Eloise Bennett, referencing Virginia Woolf, Vladimir Nabokov, Nancy Holt and Margaret Tait. “Moving through the grasses and bracken as shades,” Bennett writes, “we hear the shifting of green-grey branches, watch the dew falling, the rock soften.” Her rhythmic, sensual words speak of verdant landscapes and thick clouds of smoke, surging through the album's 11 tracks like a spell, seeping through the artists' eroded vocals and suspended, weightless drones. Voice runs strongly through the album, often unsettled, as language loosens and drifts like weather - masked by drone and tape noise, warped through vocoder, or reduced to bare resonance. Elsewhere, the work turns toward traditional and archaic instrumentation. Bells, whistles, zither, harp, and cello ground the music in older forms, their timbres carrying a sense of inherited presence. Electronic elements appear sparingly, used to thicken air and space, conjuring fog, expansive terrain, and the dream-like movement of light across water. What emerges is a slow, open, and haunted landscape, where sound acts less as narration than as echo and residue, marked as much by absence as by presence. Tapes are available now, and the album will be streaming from tomorrow. Cassettes include a screen-printed outer case on metallic card, and a riso insert printed by @good_press Huge thanks to all involved for this beautiful collaboration <3 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘀 Somewhere Press, SP09 Photography by Somewhere Press Design by @mushetofernandez Text by Eloise Bennett @eloiserosie Mastered by Adam Badí Donoval @adambdonoval Distributed by @boomkatonline Music by @gemmablackshaw @alliyahenyo @dylan__kerr @baal_mortimer @archambaulthannah @diane.isadora @laureboer @mattemattik @princessa_mangione_iii_ @doris__dana @teresawinterr @maryhurrell @dania_paralaxe ‘Embers’ Mixed by Samuel Stevenson @clima____ ‘Weave & Bury’ Harp - Claire Deak @c.l.deak Cello - Judith Hamann @judith.hamann Mixed - Dania and Rupert Clervaux Words - Eloise Bennett

The Black Hill, The Glass Sky, a V/A compilation, out later this week on Somewhere Press. The album takes shape as a collective response to a text by Eloise Bennett, written in dialogue with Scottish folklore, ritual, and the starkness of its terrain. Moving through images of ancient stone monuments and weather-worn landscapes, the works form their own mythology, tracing gestures and rituals carried by land. — Photography by Somewhere Press Design by @mushetofernandez Text by Eloise Bennett @eloiserosie Eloise Bennett is an art historian & writer based in Scotland. She is currently working on her first book-length collection of texts. As curator at Jupiter Artland she leads on exhibitions, commissions and programming. Eloise’s writing has been supported by Creative Scotland, Paul Mellon Centre, British Art Network and Jerwood Arts. She recently spent time on residencies at Hospitalfield and Bothy Project. Her work has been presented on Montez Press Radio, in Motor Dance Journal and the Prototype Anthology.

The Black Hill, The Glass Sky 🕯️ A short film by Somewhere Press, shot on Super 8 between Glencoe and Kirkcaldy. Soundtracked by The Dengie Hundred with Gemma Blackshaw, whose track ‘AVIIR’ sits at the point of passage between two releases. Closing their EP and opening the forthcoming compilation, the piece acts as a threshold, binding the works through their shared engagement with Scottish folklore, landscape, and myth. The full V/A compilation, featuring several artists from the label alongside close collaborators and kindred voices, is released next week.
