This bizarre planetoid, located at the junction of the Stigmata and Moodeep interstellar highways, was a genuine haven for creatures of all shapes and forms. Among them, blobs, these brightly coloured and playful creatures capable of shape-shifting, were particularly remarkable.
The two friends curled up in one of the eye sockets of a giant metal skull hidden in the depths of this small world. Exhausted but hopeful, they were trying to rest and catch their breath after a series of endless trials.
— Imagine, — Cat said thoughtfully, glancing down at the busy street, — being one of those blobs. — He lazily paw-pointed at a group of kids, merrily playing tag with such ease as if the world were their personal playground. — That would be something, wouldn't it?
— A maze of mirrors... — A spark of infinite possibilities flashed in the professor's eyes. — I would be a maze of mirrors. Each reflection is a different version of me. Anyone who entered would be forced to wander the winding paths until they found their true self.
— And I, — Cat added with a slight chuckle, — would like to become a being who can move freely through time and space. To disappear and reappear anywhere in the galaxy.
They both fell silent, letting their fantasies take over. Here, on this distant land, where the stars seemed to hang directly overhead, the dreams took on an unusual clarity and weight. They had seen many things and been through many dangers over the years, yet now, in this wonderfully quiet and strange corner of the universe, they felt at rare peace, as if the galaxy itself had given them a brief break before throwing them back into the maelstrom of events.

Stygmata & Moodeep reunite and combine talents once again, featuring stellar remixers in support of this dub techno journey.
Super Forms is a brilliantly crafted EP in mood and texture, offering a range of interpretations by Lotech/Hijack, R.Hz, and Akmuo that remain cohesive while taking the listener through varied emotional landscapes.
Stygmata & Moodeep introduce two standout originals, 'Form A' and 'Form B'. 'Form A' emerges with a deep, rising beat that gradually grows in intensity. An airy atmosphere gently wraps around the rhythm, creating a balance between power and subtlety. It’s dramatic yet awe-inspiring, drawing the listener in with its tempered energy. 'Form B' shifts towards a more techy, flighty sound. Crisp production drives the track, with chords that ebb and flow quickly, perfectly balancing the groove. Its lighter, more agile rhythm contrasts with Form A's weightier feel, offering a fresh take on techno that is both dynamic and refined. The Lotech/Hijack excursion mix introduces a brisker tempo, with an airy feel reminiscent of scattered clouds. Chords drift in the distance while a taut drum kick maintains focus. This version opens up the track, giving it a lighter, more expansive quality. R.Hz’s remix takes the original darker, cavernous space. With a broken dub beat, the track feels weighted, drenched in eerie tones that gradually grow in intensity. As the version progresses, it unfolds into something vast like a new sonic world emerging from the depths. The final rendition, Akmuo reshape, leans into an ominous, foreboding atmosphere. Like a suspenseful mystery, it plays with tension and unease. The tempo is persistent, while cascading chords bring an unsettling, dark energy that keeps you on edge, wondering what’s around the corner.
