logo playlist A dance to death by a songbird in boghz as it navigates the world in a year of no light! It is flying through urban places best left to rot together with their self-defying, self-loathing inhabitants. It only stops momentarily when it hears a heart beating fast in agony. It only takes off again when the sorrow reaches manageable levels. The sound it creates when it flaps its wings is only audible to creatures looking for sonic disquiet. Can you hear it? Can you bear it?     

If this playlist were a soundtrack for a ball, it would be for a dance-macabre. Borrowing aesthetic elements from black and white movies about ghosts and twisting and turning them so that they end up sounding as an injured animal that roars, this monthly playlist is not for the faint-hearted light seekers. Enjoy it!

HOROLOGIUM-Carmina Contagionis

Release date:28 June 2021

Label: Ur Muzik

HOROLOGIUM — a.k.a Grzegorz Siedlecki — is a project that devotees of dark ambient, post-industrial and neoclassical ceremonial music are very familiar with and very fond of. We had the pleasure of enjoying the sonic strength of their music live in London during the mini festival Deliquium in 2018 and loved the way their sound was complemented by beautiful visuals that revealed a fascination with the aesthetic of old black and white movies. Three years after the release of ‘Atavistic Americana‘ and one year after the release of their even darker EP entitled ‘Starvation Musings‘, the band is ready to release a new album entitled ‘Carmina Contagionis‘ through Ur Muzik. By carefully decomposing their industrial rhythms and enriching them with distorted dark folk, spoken word elements and choral vocals that evoke the atmosphere of a church, HOROLOGIUM are about to release their most cinematic album to date. Their political comments are artistically handled, shrouded in vocal samples that evoke the aesthetics of old movies, while disquieting loops play addictive tricks with our spiritual comfort. We noticed and loved the way the tracks finish, each breaking its own ‘mould’. This is an album for the end of times, an album that glorifies the moment before everything stops and is reborn. Make sure to preorder it now!


Here is the official press release from the band:

“Every plague has its own melody (music to die to), but the past centuries knew that music could also serve as a medicine: carmina contra mortalitatem hominum. But what kind of illness actually threatens HOROLOGIUM coverthe very essence of a noble soul? Horologium are back with their trademark sound: obsessive and overwhelming aural collages meet sublime ambient fragments, martial industrial meets spoken word and choir singing. The album features a collaborative track with the old-time comrade Der Arbeiter. The artwork’s been skilfully crafted by Bunkier Productions. Carmina Contagionis offers six new tracks on a strictly limited and hand-numbered lathe-cut LP (20 pieces only!). This is a ‘rara avis’ release per se and will not be reissued! 10x black LP // 10x transparent LP EUR 39.00 (plus shipping)  Pre-order you copy at ur.muzik(at)yahoo(dot)com or via our fb page

Monthly playlist-April 2021

logo playlistThe days might be getting longer but we will forever be fascinated by the sound of the night. Our favourite independent/underground releases of April 2021 follow a circular pattern, that infinitely expanded our consciousness in all possible dimensions. The journey begins and ends with ethereal soundscapes composed by Peter Bjärgo and Daemonia Nymphe but not before creating some ceremonial sonic spirals with post-rock, doom metal, punk, post-punk, dark ambient, IDM, always melancholic but dynamic textures. Godspeed You! Black Emperor have returned after four years with their impressive album, “G_d’s Pee AT STATE’S END!” – accompanied by a political statement that made us jump from our seats in support and solidarity! The new sonic endeavour of Darren J. Holloway (SINNEN, Damselfly) with The German Ocean, has began taking some shape through the debut release of the album ‘The German Ocean‘, full with serene and disquieting soundscapes where subtle melodic alterations are toying with our emotional balance as they ‘break away’ from the sonic distortion that envelops them! Wolvennest, have offered us a ritual in a sonic form entitled ‘MMXX‘ – that has continued to make us shiver every time we listen to its ritualistic, doom, throbbing rhythms and the unapologetically affirmative vocals and lyrics!

We don’t want to tell you how this journey will end and we cannot promise that you might not lose yourselves within this sonic tunnel, but we will only say that with their new EP ‘Witches’ Lullaby‘, Daemonia Nymphe seem to have now actually passed from this world to that of Nymphs!

Have a listen here and enjoy!
