Over the last decade, the Paper Cuts imprint has accumulated a run of off-kilter electronic and deep cuts and a series of parties around Australia and Berlin. A consistent champion of local underground talent, the label has evolved to be a driving force behind ‘un:send’, an intimate festival located in the Australian bush curated in collaboration with Animalia’s label head Kia, Temporal Cast’s Kasun, and outstanding Naarm live act OK EG.

‍

As the label returns to physical format for its tenth outing, The Blips & Bleeps feature-length album marks the debut of Radart, the debut solo project of label boss Dylan Batelic. This new endeavor follows his earlier collaboration, Sunflower Aquarium, with close friend Furious Frank, born during Melbourne's mammoth lockdowns in 2020.

‍

Premiere pick Flying Fox Colony typifies the resurgence of turn-of-the-century chill-out music coming out of Naarm in recent years. Capturing the setting sun, Radart’s balearic-inspired breaks, drifting acid, and trip-hop nostalgia come into focus.
