Dr. Nojoke :: Inpi Mari EP (CLIKNO)

Frank Bogdanowitz, aka Dr. Nojoke, delivers Inpi Mari, a minimal techno suite that blends mournful beauty with urgent environmental consciousness. Through four immersive tracks, the EP reflects on the tension between synthetic pleasure and ecological responsibility, crafting a hypnotic soundscape that calls attention to the silent tragedy of plastic waste.

SPRO :: Haihat (NOCUEDO Editions)

Haihat’s sonic journey unfolds as a seamless, immersive experience—seven tracks woven into one fluid, textured narrative. In contrast, SPRO’s sonic architecture dives into raw abstraction, layering fuzz, static, and fractured rhythms into a rich, dissonant soundscape that evolves from gritty turbulence to haunting beauty.

Ndorfik :: Ojala EP (Local Gods)

Ojala captures the spirit of early IDM—where emotion meets experimentation. Emerging from FM synthesis and inspired by Karelia’s landscapes, the track blends atmospheric depth with playful rhythm. First appearing on Binary Echo (People Can Listen, April 2025), this EP features the original, a gentle ballad, and three distinct reworks, each paying homage to the genre’s formative years.

Urschaum :: Ancient Future (Component)

Ancient Future sees Urschaum deepen his ambient vision with a darker, more introspective tone. Building on the expansive Dimensional Transient, these four longform pieces unfold slowly, like mist over distant shores. Jason Goodrich (formerly Badrich) sculpts immersive sonic environments—brooding, patient, and vast—where drones stretch time and emotion drifts beneath the surface.

Somatic Responses :: Glynnph EP (Photon Emissions) — [concise]

John Healy returns with a blistering five-track suite steeped in distortion, mechanical pressure, and digital disarray. From the ironclad march of the title track to the fractured geometries of “Monomat,” Healy sculpts a world of warped percussion, ambient debris, and glitch-ridden chaos. Dense and disorienting, it rewards those willing to navigate its alien circuitry.
