Metafísica? Que metafísica têm aquelas árvores?
a de serem verdes e copadas e de terem ramos,
a a de dar fruto na sua hora, o que não nos faz pensar,
a nós, que não sabemos dar por elas.
Mas que melhor metafísica que a delas,
que é a de não saber para que vivem
nem saber que o não sabem?

The Verge Radio is a 24/7 online station offering forward-thinking, eclectic avant-garde and underground music. It's not fed by an algorithm, it’s a hand curated selection of music that makes our own sonic fabric, which shaped our past and informs how we listen to music today. Aptly sorted in three different moods and dispositions: dawn is dreamy, dusk is raucous and dark is ominous.

Sutekh Hexen x The Verge Boot #1 (2025)

Our hometown XI century Monastery of Pombeiro (part of the interior) (2025)


The Verge proposes a transformative roadmap for a new brand on the verge of making sense of fashion + underground music. We advance through work of collaboration, reaching out to a curated selection of challenging and unfettered artists leading the way in the realms of experimental and underground music. We strive to translate our combined love of music, conceptual vision and production values into timeless fashion products - a collection of signature standards made with intention, ignoring transient fads and embracing a shared path to minimise the devastating effects senseless consumerism has on our planet. (Pt. 1: Manifesto) 




Introducing V.A.M.O.S. - Verge Advanced Modular Optimised System. A disruptive, shape-shifting, multi-disciplinary modular system that delivers on our mission to fight the evil of consumerism through the design and production of unique fashion products that are made to last. The program manifests through the combination of experience and know-how, superlative innovation and the drive to boost the re-utilisation of raw materials and finished products.
With this effort we invite our audience to think needs rather than wants, to dramatically reduce consumption and prioritise their products quality and longevity. (Pt. 2: V.A.M.O.S.)




The Sutekh Hexen Boot
Collaboration - 2025

Midway through 2025, I asked Kevin Gan Yuen, the mastermind behind San Francisco Black Metal/Power Noise project Sutekh Hexen if he'd be into developing a boot project with us. Kevin pitched us a duck boot look, the desire for a dark silhouette and a competent design. Everything starts with a last, it dictates the overall look, the proportions, the volume and shape of the toe that form the basis of any shoe design, but in this case the critical component is a unique last-less sole:  an early 20th century Maine inspired moulded behemoth, in natural rubber, which only allows for a rare, dedicated machine to carry out the stitch. After many tweaks in prototyping we got to a very good first pair, which exceeded our expectations, and was sent out to Kevin.

But before we did, we shot the boots in my favourite childhood place, an abandoned corn grinding factory that was once in the family. This is a place well worth of a visit and in trying to describe it, I could be accused of ripping off a well known Tolkien novel. The mill thrived here from the turn of the 19th century until the 1960's, in the ancient village of Jugueiros in the district of Porto. It's a lasting landmark of the village, and its natural enchantment and close-knit connection with the river rivals nearby Roman empire relics, from the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, which abound in the village.

The boots shoot well here, they feel at home in this now untamed and harsh landscape, drawing on the references and stylistic briefing presented by Sutekh Hexen itself.
The only path in slopes toward the East Ferro River bank and as we approach we seem to be stepping into a bygone world.

"The VERGE x SUTEKH HEXEN collaboration transmutes elemental, impression, and utilitarian aspects thus amplifying silhouettes accordingly. Defining structure with timeless materials to style, each design-detail stages confidence in any conditions, furthering the explorative spirit for the long-term."

On The Verge
15.11.25

 

Sometime in January 2025 I sent an email to Kevin Gan Yuen of bay area noise extremists SUTEKH HEXEN. This email was just a 'Hello, this is the guy who's been engaging with you on IG'. Then I realised that since I started posting mixes at the start of Covid 19, I had featured SH tracks in 7 mixes. Its up there with all time favourites such as Coil, Autechre and Sunn o))).

So around May I asked Kevin if he'd be interested in putting together a playlist of his favourite music for a new mix, the first guest curated entry in more than 5 years and 100+ mixes. Clocking at almost 2 hours, this is a surprising compilation of songs, and a novel challenge: stitching together such a disparate medley goes against the grain of my mix routine which is mood/genre specific. I'd never mix breakcore with black metal (maybe Igorrr) but there's always a first.

Going through the songs, there's hymns of teen angst reveries and romance, forever classics and as you'd expect, a bunch of contemporaries of Sutekh Hexen. A list became a mix, it weaves between dreamy and ominous, classics and the unknown, the enjoyable and the unsettling, a testament to Kevin's rich tapestry of influences and sensibilities, balancing what is in his own words: 'that grey area which is the shadow from the light'. 

Listen to the mix here.

Sometime between the onslaught of Covid-19 and the growing dissatisfaction with dysfunctional streaming platforms (specially, fuck you Spotify and their algorithms), I found the time to filter through all the noise and build my ultimate digital collection. Bourne from a fascination with the experimental and the challenging, this is the essential sonic fabric that informed our taste from years past, through to the artists that matter for us today.
