Album/EP
Vivendum 5 [FSR009]

Fur:ther Sessions returns with Vivendum 5, a tightly wound four-tracker that speaks softy but hits deep. Featuring Psyk, Shoal, Blazej Malinowski, and Save Your Atoll, it’s a focused study in atmospheric techno: sharp-edged, detail-rich, and stripped to the essentials. Crystalline oscillations and rounded low-end pressure guide the trip.

Rooted in the Bavarian hills near Munich, Germany,  Fur:ther Sessions has carved a distinct place in the techno landscape since 2021. Helmed by seasoned vinyl DJ Chuha, each release reflects instinctive curation and a consistent narrative thread. Yet the core of each story is minimal in words but maximal in impact. The record label offers nothing more than a simple life statement echoing Cicero’s philosophy: "Vivendum est ut ea libertate utamur, quae prosit amicis, noceat nemini. 

Among the contributors is Utrecht-based producer and ISOTOOP collective member Shoal. Whether live or on wax, his sound feels constantly evolving, showcasing a wide range while maintaining a clear signature: hypnotic patterns, spatial field recordings, and a deep emotional undercurrent.

Shoal’s track Backflash, Minimal Collective’s premiere pick, is no exception to his evolving sonic language. Driven by a rounded, forceful kick, the track unfolds with layered precision. Elements shift, morph, and build purposefully. Just when tension nears its peak, the track pulls inward, dissolving into a low-end spiral that lingers long after the fade. One for the close listeners.
