At least two of the tracks contain the Bucla Music Easel.
The A side contains “On The Waves Of Neptune” an exclusive from the album “Where Trees Go To Die” the latest offering from Stone Anthem, a hallucinatory journey through ambient textures, dense organic drones, and otherworldly frequencies. Layering field recordings, modular synthesis, and hushed vocals, the album was created in an attempt to maximise immersion and create a sonic field of bliss, a slow-evolving soundscape where perception bends and time dissolves. The album’s initial blueprint was created in a quiet hamlet in the Spanish mountains in 2023 with very little equipment. So the scenery of forests and mountains were a great influence on the album’s development. This is also from where all of the field recordings on the album were sourced.
Castles in Space is delighted to be working with this charismatic, vibrant and super-talented young artist. He’s just turned 18.
The B side contains an exclusive by colab who I know nothing about and I don’t believe are the Georgian Hard techno outfit. The track here, Troubled appears on the Bricolage labels 27 track compilation album X celebrating their 10th year of magical releases. It’s a ‘who’s who’ of the label past, present and future. Do check it out. Links to everything played are in the show notes and in the comments.

This episode includes 3 exclusive tracks that you’ll probably only hear here before they are officially released. The A side opens with a descent beneath the surface—into fractured ground and emotional resonance. From Newcastle’s electronic frontier, Bartholomew brings us “Land Fracture”, a track from his forthcoming album Subterranea, releasing July 25th via Castles In Space very own Lunar Module. Crafted by composer Chris Bartholomew, whose theatrical credits include the Barbican and National Theatre Studio, this piece fuses cinematic storytelling with generative electronics, orchestral textures, and raw sonic abrasion. It’s a meditation on instability—both geological and emotional. 🌀 “Land Fracture” feels like a fault line rendered in sound. Granular textures crackle beneath sweeping harmonic arcs. There’s tension, but also grace. Think Hans Zimmer’s emotional weight, Tim Hecker’s digital erosion, and Ben Frost’s stark minimalism—all refracted through Bartholomew’s unique lens. The album Subterranea was born after a shared bill with Gordon Chapman-Fox of Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan. That performance led to this release on Lunar Module, and it’s already drawing praise from sonic visionaries like Leafcutter John, who described the album as: “Cryogenically frozen Beach Boys slowly melting from the Earth’s final great glacier.” 🎧 “Land Fracture” is just one of eight tracks that explore resilience, collapse, and the beauty found in broken structures. The full album drops July 25th on CD and digital. If you’re near Newcastle, don’t miss the launch party at The Globe on July 24th. 🌌 Let the ground shift. Let the frequencies fracture. This is Bartholomew.
Also on the A side a moment of return, of memory, of warmth wrapped in stillness. This exclusive preview comes from the upcoming album Aunque llegue la mañana by Spanish duo Raúl Cantizano and David Cordero, featuring the haunting voice of Lela Soto. The track is titled “Algo a lo que regresar”—something to return to—and it lives up to its name. It’s a quiet invocation of place and feeling, where Cantizano’s flamenco guitar gently converses with Cordero’s ambient textures. The result is a soundscape that feels both rooted and weightless, like a memory suspended in golden light. 🌀 Lela Soto’s voice drifts in like a breeze through an open window—fragile, soulful, and timeless. Her presence adds a spectral warmth to the minimalist arrangement, grounding the electronics in something deeply human. This is not fusion—it’s communion. Flamenco and ambient don’t clash here; they breathe together. The track is part of a larger work that explores absence, light, and the quiet persistence of hope. 🎧 The full album releases July 18, 2025, via Noray Records, with a limited cassette edition and digital formats available. Until then, this exclusive track offers a glimpse into a world where tradition and experimentation meet in hushed reverence. 🌙 Let this be your anchor. Let it remind you of something worth returning to. ⚡️ The final exclusive of the episode follows directly after this.—a track that doesn’t whisper, it confronts. This is “Trans Kid Karmic Vengeance” by East London’s Bit Cloudy, from the upcoming full-length protest album U.S. Nadir, releasing August 8th, 2025. Known for his work across labels like Castles In Space, Lost Map, and Front and Follow, Bit Cloudy delivers a sonic gut-punch here—an instrumental that seethes with urgency and layered defiance. It’s IDM with teeth. Ambient with a purpose. 🌀 “Trans Kid Karmic Vengeance” is a title that says everything before the first note hits. It’s a rallying cry, a reckoning, and a reclamation. The track itself is a dense weave of distorted textures, and melodic fragments that shimmer like broken glass in sunlight. It’s fierce, but never chaotic—every element is placed with intention. It’s resistance in waveform. A response to cruelty, to erasure, to the systems that fail the most vulnerable. And it’s delivered with a clarity that cuts through the noise. 🎧 Pre-order the full album U.S. Nadir via Bit Cloudy’s Bandcamp Page.
