Subsurface States by Doc, Einerlei, Javier Marimon

Subsurface States captures the essence of his Selene Series podcast: a space where abstract ambient, deep techno, and dubbed-out sounds converge. These elements dissolve into a shared language, unfolding within a narrative inspired by The First Men in the Moon, with the encounter between humans and Selenites as its underlying stage. This novel served as the conceptual backbone of the Selene Series sonic universe and imagery.

The process behind the creation of the tracks also mirrors DOC’s natural creative process. They are all born from live performance and modular experimentation. Some remained untouched; some were reprocessed and rearranged into more functional forms.

The release is accompanied by two reinterpretations by Javier Marimon and Einerlei, unmistakably personal voices and dear friends. Their contributions don’t simply rework the originals, but reshape them, extending the language of the record into unexpected territories.
