Store Selects 005 // Giegling, Variant, Hoavi, Florian TM Zeisig, Paperclip Minimiser, PST, Maurizio
Inverted Audio founder Tom Durston returns with the fifth instalment of Store Selects, filmed live from the record store in Peckham in the wake of Record Store Day 2026.
The episode draws a through-line from dub techno's foundational infrastructure to contemporary experimental electronics and leftfield club material — connecting new arrivals with records that continue to shape the wider landscape.
A centrepiece of the episode is Ende Gut Alles Gut, the 30th release from Giegling. The label's signature blend of introspection and rhythmic restraint is fully intact — delicate melodic fragments unfolding over hypnotic, measured structures that reward patience.
Variant's The Setting Sun on Field Records moves into deeper ambient techno territory. Slow-moving and texturally dense, it prioritises atmosphere over function, its dub sensibilities creating an immersive listen that holds its shape across repeated plays.
Hoavi's Architectonics, released via Peak Oil, shifts toward abstract sound design — spatial, detailed, and exploratory, sitting naturally within the label's evolving catalogue of forward-thinking electronics.
Florian T M Zeisig's Music For Parents on Métron Records takes a more conceptual approach, placing composition and intent above genre convention. Reflective and difficult to categorise, it's a work that asks for close attention.
On the experimental edge, Paperclip Minimiser's Topology Transform for Blank Mind delivers fractured rhythms and digital abstraction — disorienting, high-resolution, and uncompromising in its logic.
PST's Kognitiv Discodans on Kontra-Musik introduces a more kinetic energy: off-centre club tracks that balance playfulness with structural precision.
Thomas + James' Real Time EP on Alt Dub returns to stripped-back dub techno — weight, space and repetition emphasised; functional tools with genuine depth.
Running parallel to the newer arrivals is a sustained focus on Maurizio, with selections from the M-series — M4 through M7 — foregrounding a blueprint that continues to inform contemporary production practice. Minimal, physical, and endlessly replayable, these records remain essential reference points.
Store Selects 005 reflects a moment shaped as much by community as by curation, arriving in the aftermath of a Record Store Day that drew DJs and listeners into the store to share records throughout the day.
All records featured in this episode are available via the Inverted Audio Record Store.
