“Our consciousness is based on the expansion of abstract beauty. The inexplicable grows through the mechanics of external reality. Communication through tone and light is no coincidence. We are all observers.” This is how Observant defines itself—one of our favorite labels in recent years, a platform that understands sound as perceptual experience and as an act of observation.
For its latest release, veteran Japanese DJ DJ Sodeyama joins the roster with DAGDA, the label’s 26th reference. The EP stands as a concise yet forceful statement, designed for dark, pressure-filled spaces. Known for balancing physical impact with meticulous control, Sodeyama distills his language to its essentials: dense low-end weight, compressed atmospheres, and a restless rhythmic motion that never loses focus.
Throughout the EP, electricity hums beneath the surface. Rolling momentum, elastic high frequencies, and percussive details—scattered like coded signals—lock into muscular structures that strike hard without excess. Rising synth tension and crisp basslines drive the climactic moments, while more hallucinatory passages lean into distant vocal fragments and modulated tones, drawing the energy inward without surrendering control. Subtle sci-fi inflections color the edges, adding character rather than spectacle.
Within the EP, Lugh stands as a raw, powerful, and persistent core. With surgical precision, it unfolds into territories both arid and intergalactic, orbiting between sci-fi techno and raw techno. Dense laser-like beams and thick sonic layers generate an atmosphere saturated with darkness, where day and night dissolve into a single synthesis. In that convergence, Sodeyama’s sound design does more than shape chaos—it harnesses it into a fully embodied experience.
