Marco Shuttle's third album, Cobalt Desert Oasis, features a varied collection of music recorded across a two year period. Often traveling to remote destinations, Marco would come back to Berlin with field recordings, images, and other inspirations to process in his studio and turn into sound.The theme of the journey turns into a something more abstract than a travel diary, where environmental sounds blend in with modular synthesis, drum machines, effects and analog oscillators resulting in a cinematic listening experience where psychedelia, ritualism, and mysticism weave together in a sort of alien soundscape - that as the title of the album suggests, is reminiscent of a parallel utopian world.The album is rich in complex rhythmics, and more than in any of his previous work, has strong acoustic elements. Amongst other percussion instruments, Marco used the Tombak, a traditional Persian hand drum capable of reaching a very wide range of frequencies - from deep round subby toms, to high pitched sharp rimshots, throughout the record.Marco Shuttle is certainly not new to these sort of elements, but in Cobalt Desert Oasis he brings the environmental element of his sound into the forefront in a way that takes the listener into a hazy expanse where it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the machine elements from the natural - and where the music almost becomes a visual experience, which relates to Marco's own photography used throughout the cover and insert images.

Child of order and chaos. Part of a plan, devised by an obscure sound documentary maker, whose desire was to capture the entropic potential of his tools.A data management process, wich generates automatic poetry. This object, is a ambigus product. The synthesis of decisions and indeterminacy.A sound that blurs the boundaries between production and capture, the result of a secretly administered system.

What Can Be Done When Nothing Can Be Done Turning into a label and putting out our first record was an exhilarating process. Shoutouts again to everyone who’s bought Aroent’s “Eleese” EP, gave it airplay or left positive feedback. All of this certainly left us hungry for more, which is why we couldn’t be happier to announce our next EP, AWK002 - “Nines” by Lårry. After solid recent releases on Super Hexagon and Fusion Diagnostics, our dear Lårry goes from strength to strength with this versatile and atmospheric four tracker. From idiosyncratic techno swirls to emotive peak time bangers, every track has its own story and character, all served with immaculate sound design and the inimitable Lårry touch. Without further ado, we’ll stop our excited rambles and let the music do the talking. Thanks for the continued support and we hope you enjoy!

R.A.N.D. Muzik Recordings is honoured to welcomeBudapest’s, Gnork to the label with a 4-tracker of spaced outhouse music

We are very excited to have joined the OTG family and to deliver the first of two beautiful new EPs by HVL from Georgia. An incredibly talented producer with the ability to create many different styles he has produced a deep and cosmic body of work for us during lockdown 2020. After a long 2 years we are picking up where we left off …Timeless cuts to suit all intimate dance floors.

Dreamt up spontaneously by Walrus (Brussels) & Adi (Bogota) during a listening session in Berlin, the label revolves around feelings of friendship and fun in music, with its feet always itching for the dance floor. Crisp music is the message, with each split EP thoughtfully balanced and artwork in the form of a puzzle by Joe Delon, which has to be solved to discover the tracks and their makers. Let’s play!
