In June 2011 Subtext Recordings was restarted after a 6 year hiatus for the release of the second LP from emptyset titled Demiurge. This album represented a transition from the first two Subtext releases, a pair of seminal experimental recordings from the groundbreaking duo Vex'd, switching path into a new terrain that allowed for the distortion and dissolution of the sequencer grid and shifted the focus of the label from the programmed to the composed.

Through this development Subtext Recordings has evolved into a conversation between emptyset, the ex-Vex'd artist Roly Porter, and composer Paul Jebanasam who has spearheaded the revival of the label. This new release continues this dialogue by commissioning both Porter and Jebanasam to respond to the material contained within Demiurge and develop their own interpretations of the original album.

Paul Jebanasam has taken on the album as a whole entity, processing components from various pieces and placing them within an elemental and volcanic landscape, a composed topography that emerges from eruptions and waves of thunderous drones accompanied by guitar noise from Warp Records artist Nick Talbot (Gravenhurst). Roly Porter's approach conversely narrows the focus down to the individual elements of Function, one of the keystones of Demiurge, and overlays the track with a defiant cavernous superstructure, a raw militant armor that redefines the framework of Function as a ravaging war like a machine. A cry of resistance echoing across a vanquished world.
