About this product
Ice Blue Vinyl. DMV-born rapper and producer kuru is already a veteran among their contemporaries. Spurred by the online renaissance that accompanied the pandemic, they began to foster a cult following while in high school, their Soundcloud releases leading to production work with artists such as Black Kray and Destroy Lonely. Over the past few years, as Kuru began to prioritize their own voice, they prioritized their solo endeavors. Growing up in Maryland, kuru was inspired as much by the work of Future, Hikaru Utada, Yuyoyuppe, and the sounds of Japanese math rock as he was by his native DMV's rap scene. He first began making music in 2019, garnering buzz with early tracks like InchcluelessInch, InchtypoInch (4M Streams), and InchatmosphereInch (9M+ Streams) - cuts brimming with the catchiness you'd expect out of a mainstream pop hit, but uncharacteristic of the internet rap landscape at the time. The forthcoming sophomore album is a summation of all of kuru's work in both electronic and hip-hop. It's the artist's most focused effort to date, and touts credits from Lucy Bedroque, frequent collaborator xaviersobased, and a rolodex of Soundcloud's most cutting-edge producers. InchBackstage HologramInch ties together a mosaic of the current internet underground's landscape with a veneer of dusky futurism, and panoramic wide post-production.

Vinyl LP pressing. Producer Lewis Roberts aka Koreless announces his much-anticipated debut album. Agor is the Welsh word for open and it's an apt name for a recording which exists at sensory thresholds, straddling the various worlds of dance, ambient and contemporary classical while not sounding like an example of any of them.
Ziúr's 2017 debut album for Planet Mu/Objects Limited 'U Feel Anything?' was widely praised. It was both maximal and graceful, thoughtful but physical music that came out of the 'anything goes' approach of certain club nights she was involved with in Berlin, and stood head and shoulders above other music coming out of the city's club scene. Since then Ziúr has clearly been working hard, and on 'ATØ' she has developed a sophisticated toolbox of sounds from which this album is produced. It's rush of clear electronic beeps and tones, crunchy drums and cold metallic stabs share space alongside bell tones and marimba, dhol drums, r&b melodies and rich strings, as if the gritty distortion of 'U Feel Anything?' has given way to a bloom of colour. As a songwriter, Ziúr's work on 'ATØ' has really grown. The songs could be loosely described as left-field pop, but like all her music there is a steely undertow of determined strength. The album features some key surrogates in the shape of singer and producer Samantha Urbani of the band 'Friends' and rapper Ash B, who lays down a gravelly response to betrayal on F.O.E (Friendship Over Ego). What's even more unique about the album is that Ziúr pops up multiple times singing, her voice transformed through effects into a different character every time. On the lead track 'ATØ' her vocals are pitched down to feel like she's a wise, otherworldly force, or the ghostly childlike voice transmitted on 'I Vanish', the swooning tones of Life Sick, or on the last track 'Mother' where she intones in her own untreated voice. 'ATØ' has a purpose laid out in it's title. Ziúr describes 'ATØ' as a network of intersectional support, a network of mesh to help us through these dark oppressive times it's 'THE ALLIANCE TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD'. The album was made in her words Inchin support of all people who struggle finding a place in this world, who are
