Morphtables balances precise braindance programming with technoid structures, shaping a downtempo melodic pull where fractured breaks and electronic details settle into a distinctly IDM framework.

Dragon :: Ouroboros (Evel)
Ouroboros emerges as a fully realized assembly of extraterrestrial circuitry, endlessly bent, folded, and reconfigured into excitingly unique forms.
Daniel Mayer :: _Matters_ Traces of Codes from Afar (Cero)
This succinct observation offers a glimpse into a language in which Mayer seems uniquely at ease. Through gathering otherworldly effects and artifacts that might otherwise be dismissed as errors, Matters animates unfamiliar forms and hidden possibilities.
Marat Koshkin :: Echoloto (Soak)
Each chopped rhythm feels tethered by fragile harmonic strands, giving Echoloto its identity as a multidimensional collection of fuzzy glitch-hop abstraction, steeped in grit, grain, and faded sonic residue.
Simon Pyke :: Drift Works (Self Released)
Operating as Simon Pyke (aka Freeform) and various collaborative ventures, unveils Drift Works—twelve fractured post-ambient sketches unfolding in slow, seamless disintegration.
Record Of Tides :: Intercelestial (Mahorka)
Within that tension between structure and collapse, Sven Piayda uncovers a strange sense of ease. Intercelestial thrives inside instability, shaping corroded electronics and broken rhythmic patterns into something fluid, tactile, and strangely alive.
Boards of Canada :: Inferno Sessions @ Barnsdall Gallery Theatre, Los Angeles May 22, 2026 · 7:30 PM
After 13 years of silence, Boards of Canada returned not simply with new music, but with a surreal, memory-soaked communion at Barnsdall Gallery Theatre where every fading ray of sunset, whispering pine, analog pulse, and hushed breath among 300 devoted listeners made Inferno feel less like an album preview and more like a long-lost transmission finally reaching home.
F~M :: Fose (Old Technology) — [concise]
Two of my favorite sonic sculptors converge as F~M, alias of Roel Funcken and Jeroen Bax (aka exm), shaping Fose into four extended chapters that warp and reassemble rhythmic glitch fragments, threaded with fluid collisions of bass pressure, flickering bleeps, and meticulous sound design.
iNFO :: Sorry I Didn’t Realize (Touched Music)
The resulting experience of Sorry I Didn’t Realize feels untethered from trends or nostalgia bait, instead standing defiantly above contemporaries as both tribute and evolution — easily deserving placement near summit of any Best of 2026 conversation.
Özcan Saraç :: OS ZA CR AA NC (Evel)
OS ZA CR AA NC stands as an immense body of experimental electronic excavation — a sprawling surge of shattered atmospheres, industrial IDM pressure, broken-beat deconstruction, and invasive sound design that engulfs senses without pause.
Half-Ass Astronaut :: I Like Pretty Things (Not Yet Remembered)
What begins as mechanical sound manipulation gradually transforms into drum-heavy recollections from another era entirely. A surreal passage through decades of IDM evolution, overflowing with restless imagination and stylistic bliss.
