SKSSS Releases Exploraciones al Vacio

Exploraciones al Vacio, the new album from Buenos Aires producer SKSSS, is out now on his own Aerial Sound label. Over eight tracks, he crafts drone music that refuses to sit still. This is not a record designed for passive relaxation. It’s a restless form built from layered field recordings, processed instruments, and textural elements in constant motion.

SKSSS has built a catalog since the early 2020s across labels like Sufrimiento Records, Alta Costura, Sonido Atmosferico, and Vista Recordings, touching glitchy IDM, breakbeat, and ambient. On Exploraciones al Vacio, the experimental impulse leads. The second track, “Vibraciones Acuaticas,” is the most active, dense with detail and momentum. But the album’s range extends further: the second and fourth tracks introduce rhythmic elements that nod to the club-oriented work he’s done on imprints like Kalibr+ and Disturbio. “Carol – Halo,” the fourth track, pushes into more kinetic territory.

The album sits in drone’s long arc, from La Monte Young’s sustained tones to the electronic architectures of Tangerine Dream and the physical weight of Earth, but does so on its own terms. There is no ambient drift to settle into. Instead, SKSSS keeps each piece moving, busy with small shifts and material density. It’s a record that demands close listening, rewarding attention over time.
