In the vast expanse of the Atlantic, where the Canary Islands emerge like scattered notes on a maritime score, the Keroxen label has orchestrated its latest symphony of sound: "Radar Keroxen V". Released on March 21, 2025, this compilation is an odyssey through the archipelago's experimental soul, a testament to the islands' pulsating artistic heartbeat.

Imagine a colossal, decommissioned gasoline tank near the harbor of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Its cavernous interior, once a reservoir for fuel, now brims with reverberations of a different kind - sonic explorations that dance and echo within its metallic confines. It was here, within this industrial sanctum, that the Radar Drone Ensemble convened for a singular performance during the Keroxen Festival. The natural acoustics of the space transformed their improvisations into a dialogue between sound and structure, a conversation that has now been distilled into the nine tracks of this compilation.

The journey begins with Gonçalo F. Cardoso, who revisits the brooding terrains reminiscent of his earlier works. His pieces are shadowed landscapes where menacing atmospherics intertwine with ethereal chants, setting a tone both haunting and mesmerizing.

Eduardo Briganty, known for his ventures with MINIATURa, takes the baton with compositions that let guitar riffs and distortions roam untamed. It's as if the strings themselves have stories to tell, narratives woven from feedback and fervor.

Then enters Afgan, the alias of Mladen Kurajica from GAF, Lagoss, and Tupperwear. His contributions are reminiscent of Angus MacLise's mystic percussions, a collage where field recordings and modular electronic tempests converge into a tempestuous tapestry.

The finale is tendered by Resonance, or Javier Perez, who offers a soothing denouement. His synth compositions are like lullabies for the cosmos, enveloping the listener in warm tones and blissful melodies that linger like the last light of a Canarian sunset.

Encasing this auditory expedition is the artwork of Pura Marquez - a dizzying, post-tropical collage that visually encapsulates the album's essence.
