Marco Simioni :: wave_function (Evel)
wave_function ultimately displays an artist working in top form, mapping out a series of experimental electronic terrains that converge into something uniformly disjointed, immersive, and quietly mind-bending.

Oen Sujet :: The Friendliest Fight We Know (Self Released)
Across its ten tracks, vocals function as much as part of the instrumentation as they do a traditional lead, with Hammerbell and John Winston Phillips giving each song its own shifting character.
mico nonet :: The Cardboard Falcon (Ninevolt Labs)
The Cardboard Falcon is a profoundly vibrant, impressionistic, cinematic, slow-moving, and melodically oriented neoclassical album that will lead the listener to a state of serenity and contemplation.
25 Years of Igloo Magazine (Evel / Igloo Trax)
This sprawling, sandblasted opus brings together a stellar constellation of avant-garde visionaries—Meat Beat Manifesto, Proswell, Cathode Ray Tube, AZ-Rotator, Rontronik, ΠΕΡΑ ΣΤΑ ΟΡΗ, Scape One, Roel Funcken, Deru, Kindohm, Vytear, and Robert Logan—each sculpting sound into surreal, shimmering form.
Funkstörung :: Appetite for Disctruction (Studio !K7)
Funkstörung’s done it again. On Appetite for Disctruction, rattling beats and sweet melodies interact with an artist’s precision. Not only that, but the occasional vocal […]
Interdimensional Warlock :: Castlevania Vibes EP (Pretension)
Two originals, three remixes, five cuts of finely engineered funk. Interdimensional Warlock takes familiar electro ingredients, wires them to a dirty great bassline and sets the whole lot loose after dark. Get your stank face on.
Chris Herbert :: Grisaille (Room40)
Chris Herbert’s Grisaille is a haunting journey through grainy ambient textures, fractured memories and shadowy soundscapes where beauty emerges from the dust of decaying dreams.
Bibio & Dorian Concept :: Answers (Warp)
What Answers pulls off, mostly, is conjuring a nostalgic feeling attached to nothing specific. Tape hiss, degraded loops, half-remembered melodic phrases, none of it points at an actual memory. It just borrows the texture of one and hands it to you empty, letting you fill in whatever it’s supposed to be about. That’s a strange trick for two artists to pull off together, especially two who built this thing without ever being in the same room.
Markus Mehr :: WATERSHED EP (Hidden Shoal)
In WATERSHED, Markus Mehr transforms recordings from the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine into an unsettling meditation on war, distance, and the responsibility of listening when looking away is always an option.
Trudi Veremu :: Modulisme Session 145 (Modulisme)
Trudi Veremu turns the vintage EMS VCS4 into a voice of her own, blending freeform vocals, experimental electronics, and diasporic memory into an intimate exploration of sound, identity, and the unpredictable relationship between artist and instrument.
Shane Morris :: Tenochtitlan To Etzanoa (Spotted Peccary Music)
Tenochtitlan to Etzanoa is a mesmerizing sonic odyssey through ancient Mesoamerican and Indigenous American spiritual worlds, weaving ritual percussion, haunting flutes, deep chants, and atmospheric electronics into a transcendent journey where ancestral traditions, cultural connections, and shamanic mysteries echo across time and space.
Acid For The Grandma :: What?
In many respects, the 12”s from Acid For The Grandma sound more like compilations. Each EP has a sense of being distinct and unique rather than a progression from one to the next. The real surprise is that it is one artist behind these releases, one musician exploring acid, ambient, house and techno and doing so from incredibly varied perspectives.
Dodenskald & Wilted Perch :: Bound To Substance (Noctivagant Collective)
Bound To Substance explores the negative psychological effects of self-isolation, mental deprivation, and existential loneliness, as well as feelings of estrangement and parapsychic projections.
Andreas Tilliander :: Ljud [2026 Remaster] (Keplar)
Capturing his intuitive approach to electronica—minimalist, warm, playful (Ljud-ic?!) and obliquely house-informed, like its precursor, Ljud is a timeless work driven by repetition and microvariation, happy accident and spontaneity, the casuality and vibrancy of its spirit tangible throughout.
CURSES :: Next Wave Acid Punx TROIS! (Eskimo)
I can assure you there is no greater telling of a chapter of electronic history, set in a modern context, than this collection. A brand-new decade in retro colours, still vibrating with the naïve possibility that perhaps this time the future really would be different. Whether it was the intention to set out to communicate these themes, Acid Punx 3 did that to me. For me. Great job.
Cognition Delay :: Less Invasive (Neo Ouija)
There’s an understated optimism running through Less Invasive, placing Cognition Delay comfortably alongside the more atmospheric work of artists such as Secede, Arovane, Biosphere, and Rod Modell. Yet rather than imitate those sounds, Alexander and Rice create something more patient: music that works best when allowed to sit quietly in the room, gradually revealing its details while everything else falls away.
