The second release in the Inner Tension Extra series, Nocturnal Shadows, is a collection of ambient and experimental works by Blazej Malinowski. Created as a deeply personal exploration of atmosphere, emotion and inner states, the album moves away from the dancefloor into more abstract and immersive territories. Nocturnal Shadows marks another side of Malinowski’s musical language – slower, darker and more introspective, where texture, space and silence become as important as the sound itself.

For the future listener, we hope you might unravel the keys to this puzzle and find your own means to define and represent your true self in underground culture.
Music aged in time, resonating from the surface to the core through layers and sediments of stones – the strata. Four morning recording sessions with a separation between them of between three and ten months – a chronozone that will rest for a time and on which the next one will be added, thus forming the total of the six pieces of the album – becoming six strata. A slow-moving album that develops landscapes of subtle but continuous evolution, where we find layers of diverse nature created from different procedures, bathed in the calm waters of wabisabi, where melancholy, immensity, insignificance, the potential of the unemerged, coexistence and simplicity converge at the same time

The nights in Hong Kong did not remain a secret for long. Word spread silently through the feline world, and the gatherings grew until the music no longer belonged to a single hidden basement. The cats had found something of their own. Their new destination became Macau. Long after midnight, when the casino floors fall silent and the roulette wheels come to rest, they emerge from hidden passages and forgotten service corridors to throw their own secret parties. The gaming tables become dance floors. The remixes played during these nights were all commissioned by the legendary feline Primadonna Disco Queen Beast (PDQB), reimagining tracks from the original Pussy Disco album. The most celebrated DJ cats perform with nothing but their claws, tracing the grooves like perfectly balanced styli. Their oversized ears become living loudspeakers, carrying every microscopic detail through the vast halls. Before dawn, the music fades. The cats disappear without a sound, leaving the roulette tables exactly as they found them. When the first employees arrive, there is no sign that anything happened during the night. Over the years, PDQB commissioned countless remixes of tracks from Pussy Disco. The eleven collected on this double vinyl were all played during the legendary Sunrise Sessions – the final hours before daybreak, when the parties reached their absolute peak. These are the remixes the cats returned to again and again, making them the undisputed classics of Macau’s underground feline nightlife.

‘Get Mean’ is a meditation on love, loss, and survival. Across the record, Boy Harsher, the duo of Jae Matthews and Augustus Muller, confronts grief and heartbreak head-on, tracing the difficult process of moving through loss and discovering a path toward renewal. At its core, ‘Get Mean’ is a redemption album – a document of one of life’s most painful chapters and the strength found on the other side of it.
MPU101 is an enigmatic artist who has been tied to the cult Munich label Illian Tape for a while. The latest from the Poland-born, Bavaria-based producer is a glassy-eyed ambient album that is not polite background music, but more a world-building soundtrack. There are gentle MPC beats on occasion, swirling chords and pixelated pads, and plenty of forlorn moods. There is a fragility and vulnerability to much of the sounds that makes it feel like they were made on battered old hardware and dusty keyboards pulled from a storage facility that hasn’t seen daylight in years. It’s beguiling and beautiful and a great way to mentally escape.
Music From Memory presents ‘Miraggi’, the debut release by Argento, a new project conceived by composer and producer David August. Written between Berlin and the Tuscan coast, the record unfolds as an imagined soundtrack to the Mediterranean, shaped by memory, longing and a profound connection to landscape. The earliest sketches emerged during extended periods spent along Italy’s Tyrrhenian coast, where the shifting light, vegetation and ever-changing presence of the sea became lasting creative impulses. At the same time, an immersion in Italian library music of the 1970s and ’80s quietly informed the project’s tonal language, while traces of jazz fusion and Balearic ambience surfaced not as direct references but as distant echoes. Built around a dialogue between synthesizers, electronics, acoustic percussion and environmental recordings, ‘Miraggi’ balances rhythmic movement with spacious, cinematic composition. During the recording process, August was joined by drummer and percussionist Lorenzo Setti, whose performances and co-writing became an integral part of the album’s evolving rhythmic language. Across extended improvisations and recording sessions, August and Setti gradually shaped a musical language that feels both deeply personal and quietly transportive, allowing atmosphere and place to become as important as melody or rhythm. The title ‘Miraggi’ (‘Mirages’) emerged organically, evoking a longing for something that remains just out of reach — something that cannot fully be grasped or lived. It suggests a suspended state between perception and imagination, akin to a hallucination or a dream. In this sense, ‘Miraggi’ reflects the project’s inner narrative: an imagined soundtrack shaped by desire, memory and the spiritual abundance of the Mediterranean Sea.
