Marking their fifth instalment on the label, Aquaregia bastions Troma & PERS1 unveil their debut album entitled Ancestral Posterity. Through four Acts, this opus serves as a sonic tapestry across the annals of time; a deep hypnotic escapade from the genesis of civilisation to an enigmatic, dystopian future.

The auditory odyssey unfolds on the A-side with Act I: Rise of Humanity. Initiating the record, primal drums and ethereal whistling intertwine with nature's symphony – a community living in harmony with the natural world. Tribalistic beats echo in a cave-like expanse, evoking the mysterious ceremonies of ancient dwellers.

The second act, Age of Discovery, ushers in an era of exploration and cultural exchange; a rhythmic journey across ancient trade routes. The blending of cultures through sound writes a vivid text of the discoveries and exchanges that shaped our collective history.

Disc two leaves behind the past and launches us into the familiarity of our current times in a Modern Civilization. Rolling basslines and haunting pads evoke the droning of a modern work life. Digital sounds and loopiness bring us into the age of computers and concrete – a sonic landscape that mirrors the essence of contemporary society. 

On the final flip, Act IV: New Era unfolds—a posthuman interstellar world emerges, transcending the boundaries of time and sonic imagination. The soundscapes transport listeners beyond the known, inviting them to explore the uncharted territories of a new era—an auditory journey into realms yet to be discovered.
