Featuring on M.P.R Ambient is the forthcoming album by yyate entitled 'Société oblique'

Release Date: 11 October 2025 (Perceptual Tapes)

Pre-orders can now be placed - https://perceptualtapes.bandcamp.com/album/soci-t-oblique

Format - Professionally duplicated cassette tape with printed shell and double-sided j-card. Limited to 50 copies.

Société oblique is the new album by French sound artist yyate. Unbound by convention or genre, the record blends computer music, years of accumulated field recordings and delayed attempts at rhythm, blurring the line between the natural and the synthetic. 

Seaside waves morph into digital noise, unidentified electronics bubble, crinkle and hiss, and bursts of sub-bass punctuate the soundscapes. The result is a collection of immersive sonic environments that shift between shimmering textures and fractured spaces.

According to the artist: ‘Yyate is a vacant lot. Lost between mediterranean shores, volcanoes, huge pine forests. A big pile of metal objects looking to meet each other. The light is never far away.

Artist 'w-berg' with the track 'Dark Way' is now playing on M.P.R Chill.

Release date: Sep 19, 2025

Dark Way by w-berg drifts along a nocturnal corridor where quiet becomes a kind of light. The piece moves with a slow pulse, patient and unhurried, letting texture gather like mist around the edges. Low frequencies carry the weight of the path, while faint melodies come forward like distant windows, then fade back into the hush.

This is music that maps shadow. It asks you to listen for shape in the absence, to feel how space widens and narrows as you go. Nothing tries to resolve. Nothing rushes to arrive. The pace is the point, the attention is the path.

Dark Way is less a destination than a passage. A study in restraint, in tone, in the way small details become large when everything else is still. w-berg lets the landscape speak.
