Emerging from Czechia and Austria, phonon records return with their fourth transmission ‘RESi‘ – this time dialling into the disrupted consciousness of Linz-based waveform saboteur, Sturmherta.
Known for twisting the faders between intensity and illusion, Sturmherta operates at the bleeding edge of digital hauntology. His sound isn’t produced – it’s summoned, like glitching fragments of a forgotten rave memory compressed into corrupted .wav ghosts.
Across 13 destabilising modules, ‘RESi‘ stretches the club imaginary into a liminal sprawl where bass weight meets ontological noise and BPMs melt into raw feedback static. Each track folds into the next like shards of a cybernetic mirror – distorted, beautiful, and buzzing with latent code.
The apex of this nonlinear journey arrives with Track 5, ‘Rv‘ – a full-throttle warehouse exorcism that spits liquid metal from the subs and sculpts siren calls from microphone-feedback interludes. It’s a chaotic opera of post-club dramaturgy, where trap’s rattling percussion meets the oil-slick throb of industrial bass. Think Slikback tangled in a resonant hallucination, lit only by the glow of firewall breaches and strobes.
‘RESi’ is scheduled for release on 10th May via phonon records. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
