Affine Dark Science [AFDS] is a platform curated by Laura MRLS, exploring the darker contours of sound through a monthly radio show, a record label, and an ambient event series. Rooted in melancholic atmospheres, cinematic tension, and industrial undertones, it focuses on listening experiences beyond the traditional club context.

New Polar Sound is an experimental avant-garde record label and movement based in Helsinki, Finland. It was founded in 2022 by Andrey Tischenko, Manuele Frau, and Abaris Moerae, devoted to dark ambient, drone, and post-industrial sound. Rooted in the far north, it channels a bleak, meditative sonic world into everything it puts out.
