The latest from OFF CENTER RECORDS, the offshoot label of Dotei Records. Now in stock. Free-spirited, one-of-a-kind dance tracks from Mazlika, who also works as a contemporary dancer. Drop the needle and you'll hear it right away: wide-awake, crystal-clear sound, pushed right to the edge by POLE's mastering/cutting. Definitely give this one a spin.

Ajukaja unfurls a new chapter in his Sunda School saga. This 7-inch vinyl breathes a spirit of deliberate carefree abandon, a poignant, mournful dissent against the world's pervasive shadows.
At the heart of the Sunda School chronicle sits the Yamaha Sunday school organ, residing in Ajukaja's island sanctuary on Hiiumaa. Its keys have served as the wellspring for previous sonic offerings by Tapes, Nikolaienko, and the collective spirit of LLL (Denzel, Nikolajev), all woven into the fabric of this distinctive series.

Corpus Delicti EP is the first vinyl release from Mazlika, a Tokyo-based track maker and DJ who is also active as a dancer. Mazlika began producing tracks in 2017 and has since self-released albums via Bandcamp and streaming services, following up in 2023 with the cassette album "Texture and Physics." Dance has been the center of Mazlika's life since childhood, and today, under the name Jasmine, they pursue their own "movement" through free motion unbound by existing forms or styles — what's generally called physical expression or contemporary dance. The music follows suit: a rhythmic sensibility that roams freely across the time axis without being tied to the concept of meter, paired with sonic textures that keep the listener's ears on edge, suggesting the possibility of sound that is abstract yet still functions as BODY MUSIC. Mastering/cutting by the master craftsman POLE gives the highs a finer delicacy and lets the lows dive deeper. A record we'd also recommend trying out at 33 RPM.
