Following six digital releases, Amsterdam-based record label Sann Odea line up their first physical CD compilation ‘Ithomiines‘.
Dedicated to the enrapturing beauty of the Ithomiini butterfly, a species of glasswing butterflies found in humid forests from Mexico to Argentina. The compilation aims to soundtrack the metamorphosis of the insect by inviting label affiliated artists to interpret the organism.
The compilation spans shape-shifting experimental, IDM and ambient soundscapes and features artists including Italian producer Guenter Råler, French drone protagonist Zero Crossing Point, Bait Records head honcho Beatrice M. and Sann Odea co-founder and graphic designer Yb3L, amongst others.
Our pick from the compilation is ‘Natu‘ by Dutch producer and Radio TNP resident Marijn S. Having previously released an EP via Berlin-based record label Spray, including a killer remix from Luca Lozano. Marijn S now steps up to deliver ‘Natu‘ – evoking a lucid Ai dream set within a neotropical rainforest with abundant trip-hop mesmerism, subtle cascades of hazed-out synths and dubbed-out percussion.
‘Ithomiines’ LP is scheduled for release on the 28th July via Sann Odea. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
