This release is excellent on its own, but with so little material, it almost feels like something you’d listen to in anticipation of the next Vijunns release. Given how great the music on 1991 is, I certainly hope there’s more to come soon.

Danalogue :: Teleportations (Castles In Space)
From bubbling synths to irresistible basslines, Teleportations makes every stop on its cosmic journey worth visiting.
Job Karma :: Tschernobyl Vinyl Re-Release (Rope Worm)
Tschernobyl serves as an immersive depiction of such a wasteland and as a medium to cement the band’s feelings regarding the catastrophe. Both the music and the various vocal samples scattered throughout feel incredibly apt for painting images in the listener’s head; a sense of melancholy is sometimes present, while at other times the tracks become rougher and much more industrially influenced.
Bernhard Living :: The Future is Not the End of History (Donemus)
In Bernhard Living’s works, there’s almost always a straightforward title to express the context behind each one, and there is always a description paired with the record to fully elaborate on its concept. That ends up making music as minimalistic as this far more interesting to me.
KMRU :: Kin (Editions Mego)
Kin is a record that offers hazy soundscapes, with layers of noise stacked on top of serene melodies, making it almost seem like a series of distant tunes you can’t quite recall. There’s a faint melancholy woven through it, sure—but that’s not what keeps pulling me back. What really hooks me are the songs themselves; track by track, they’re just exceptional.
Xylitol :: Blumenfantasie (Planet Mu)
A confident follow-up that leans heavier and more varied, Blumenfantasie doesn’t quite surpass Anemones but firmly proves Xylitol is still worth your attention.
Alavux :: Underground Is Resistance EP (0ktag0n)
Alavux’s Underground Is Resistance is a relentless, low-end assault that trades melody for sheer industrial force, pushing electro foundations into overwhelming, club-crushing extremes.
BufoBufo :: Ranidae EP (Analogical Force)
A finely crafted blend of dusty breakbeats, acid lines, and modern atmospheres, Ranidae sees BufoBufo deliver a sharply produced and deeply memorable take on breakbeat–IDM fusion.
Sinemis :: Farewell (Injazero)
Blending prog electronic tension, restrained club energy, and immersive urban atmospheres, Sinemis’s Farewell is less about moving bodies than about pulling the listener deeper into its futuristic inner world.
Bernhard Living :: Unanswered Questions (Donemus)
Bernhard Living’s Unanswered Questions continues his tradition of sparse, minimalist electronic compositions inspired by 20th-century composers—this time focusing on the conceptual and structural ideas behind works by Charles Ives. Each of the four tracks offers a thoughtful reinterpretation, distilling Ives’ complexity into ambient soundscapes that blend philosophical depth with musical restraint.
V/A :: 10 Years Of Shaw Cuts (Shaw Cuts)
To celebrate a decade of forward-thinking electronic music, Shaw Cuts presents 10 Years of Shaw Cuts—a compilation that highlights the label’s signature blend of heavy rhythms and deep atmospheres. Featuring a wide range of contributors, it offers a sharp snapshot of the label’s evolution and what it does best, whether you’re a longtime fan or a curious newcomer.
