Label Description: Soul Tax, the new EP from Thessaloniki duo Magdalena’s Apathy, is an ode to obscure early-2000s internet culture, video game dopamine loops, and algorithmic transcendence.

Originally a duo project, DJ LOSER (aka angel’s corpse) and Penelope’s Fiancé: Magdalena’s Apathy later expanded into a release platform/label built around world-building electronics. With Soul Tax, they return to song-based work, blending trap and ambient textures across raps in Greek, English and Cantonese.

The EP’s core idea: every track shares the same drum elements and melodic DNA, passed through different producers and rewritten in different languages – a single “core” refracted into multiple variations. Side B strips that same sound kit down into a full ambient rework, letting the skeleton of the EP stand alone.

Soul Tax features raps from Hong Kong artist bright, Greek rappers just knite and xato, and Shanghai’s SSB CHAZ, with co-production from Greek producers xristbrxzy and xato, alongside French pioneer Brodinski.
