The union between Indian sound system ballistics, Bay Area’s industrial resistance ethos, and feral soundscapes personifies “Timeslave III”. Only Now splits this hour long escapade into molten drum exercises and dripping melancholic instrumentals, littered with traditional Hindustani instruments and Punjabi synth gymnastics. Alternating fluidly between hyperkinetic drumwork and sweeping, contemplative electronic music, Arora produces an album which is vast and unremittingly abrasive yet deceptively intimate and inextricably tied to his origins.
With a nod to the current soundclash/dhol tasha phenomena throughout India, things come full circle with Kush’s forward vision from years past and current states of his homeland’s soundsystem obsessions. Built upon years of warped percussion workouts, punjabi drone swamps, and Arora’s legacy of taking his roots to extremes, 2025 celebrates 10 years since Only Now’s first EP. Guest appearances from Argentina’s Jaijiu, percussionist Dave Sharma, and Kolkata’s Shubho Sharma form center pieces in the different seasons of the record as it waxes from seething to withdrawn.
All the tracks were performed, road tested throughout a period of a year of shows in the US, UK, Japan, and then brought into the studio in the latter part of 2024 for mixing and arrangement.

This is pure power, distilled through the perfect blend of raw kuduro, heavy industrial techno treatment, and unrelenting propulsion. Sinister, snakelike, and almost subliminal melody. Only Now
catch contributions form Only Now/ Sutekh Hexen on this. Assuming their ultimate and ghastliest form, Abstracter return with their most astonishingly telluric, bleak, and hopeless album to date. Only Now
definite collection of some of the best and most refined Kuduro/Lisbon sounds out there. Some moments of pure beauty, and definitely the intro and more piano driven tarraxo joints are must listens. Only Now
A collage of spiritual jazz, electroacoustic minimalism, fourth-world music, and psychedelia from the Italian composer and saxophonist. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 30, 2025
