2026 Repress! A masterpiece split featuring MARTINOU—a master of atmospheric techno known for his releases on his home label *NOUS KLAER AUDIO* as well as *MULE MUSIQ* and *STUDIO BARNHUS*—and SKYRA, Tbilisi’s rising star of sonic techno. An immersive techno landscape that graced the fourth entry in the catalog of “HOROOM,” the sub-label of the iconic venue and label “BASSIANI.”
Track List
In between the spaces of existence, we find the essence of becoming, a silent realm where what was no longer holds, and what will be has not yet taken shape. These spaces are neither failures of being nor empty accidents; they are the necessary breaths of existence, the intervals that make movement and transformation possible.
It is in these spaces that wrestle with uncertainty, where meaning is not given but must be made. They ask us to let go of fixed identities and rigid narratives, to sit for a moment in openness, vulnerability, and possibility. Within these spaces, the self is not a completed fact, but a living question.
Without these spaces, life would harden into static repetition. Growth would be impossible, as growth requires a break from what is familiar, as stepping into the unknown. The spaces between allow for reflection, for doubt, for reinvention. They are hidden architecture behind every act of choice, every spark of creativity, every new becoming.
Thus, existence is not merely a series of events strung together; it's also made of the silences between them, the invisible crossings, the quiet hesitations. In honoring the spaces of existence, we honot the fullness of life itself, not just its milestones, but its mystery.

An album whose first pressing was severely limited and sold out immediately is getting a surprise reissue! It starts off exceptionally well with MARTINOU’s “We Made You” (sample 1), a tribal ambient techno track that invites deep immersion with atmospheric pads that guide you into a majestic world and supple percussion rhythms. SKYRA’s “So Long” (sample 2)—a live recording—features softly repeating synthscapes layered over a rhythm that’s playfully deconstructed. It’s a masterful piece that balances strong driving energy with an emphasis on elegance and fluidity. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
