Experimental Electronic Music
The Black Dog’s Loud Ambient channels the raw, methodical energy of ’90s British electronica, translating Sheffield’s margins—abandoned factories, council estates, and urban rhythms—into music that moves both mind and body. With a renewed love for classic drum machines and a disciplined architecture of arpeggio and bass, the album fuses ambient immersion with dancefloor rigor, proving that old-school craft can still feel urgent and alive.
Shedir’s latest album, We Are All Strangers (n5MD), explores the delicate space between isolation and connection, inviting listeners into a world where sound becomes both a mirror and a bridge. In this intimate interview, she reflects on the emotional depth, tactile textures, and philosophical questions that shaped the record, revealing how distance can paradoxically foster closeness.
We Are All Strangers marks the fourth chapter in Shedir’s evolving sonic journey, picking up the thread from 2023’s Before the Last Light is Blown with a quieter, more assured voice. In this patient, immersive work, uncertainty becomes atmosphere, and beauty emerges not from clarity, but from a deep, enduring presence.
Terrarum Murmur is a collaboration between Japanese composer Hideki Umezawa and Italian electroacoustic artist Giuseppe Cordaro, born of a shared residency on the volcanic island of Stromboli in 2023. Blending field recordings, modular synthesis, and deep listening, the work captures the subtle vibrations of geological time. Far from spectacle, it invites us to hear the earth as a quiet, continuous presence—shaped by patience, precision, and a deep respect for sound as both material and method.
Squarepusher’s Stereotype, originally a 1994 underground release, captures the raw beginnings of Thomas Jenkinson’s genre-defying sound—where fretless bass meets electronic chaos. Now reissued by Warp, it remains jagged, urgent, and emotionally charged, a vital document of ‘90s UK rave culture and a bold statement of artistic freedom.
Unbreakable is a passage, a sweet wound, an epiphany that digs and mends. An act of love to be lived in silence, eyes closed, in the darkness of a room or of the soul.
There is a geography of the soul that Rafael Anton Irisarri mapped out in 2015, a cartography drawn with electrified mists, torn soundscapes, and submerged melancholies. A Fragile Geography, his third release on Room40 (see our 2016 review here), spoke at the time with a dark and hushed voice, the echo of an emotionally fractured era. Now, ten years later, the album returns in a newly curated edition by Black Knoll Editions.
Once Was Ours Forever is an album that asks for nothing but offers so much. It’s a buen retiro built from the light of things once held. Nash doesn’t aim for effect, he moves toward the truth of small gestures.
There are no narrative lines or recognizable formal progressions; instead, what emerges is a constellation of minimal sonic events, arranged according to a non-linear logic, lacking both center and conclusion. In this evolving geography, sound behaves like living matter: it surfaces, withdraws, duplicates, never settling.
Abul Mogard charts a deeply personal and evolving sonic journey with the launch of his label Soft Echoes and new album Quiet Pieces. In this interview, he reflects on his creative process, from analog roots to a sound that seeks transcendence through texture and time.
Appartenenza is an album that doesn’t try to explain itself, it invites you to live within it. It doesn’t demand your attention, but earns it with the quiet confidence of someone who knows that true beauty never announces itself.
