Although this album is set in space, its aural compositions combine technoid patterns, braindance, IDM, ambient, downtempo, and microscopic grooves with brittle melodic components that, in this limited edition cassette and digital release, manage to function nicely together here on Planet Earth.

Damage Multiplier :: Damage_Multiplier (Self Released)
The few, abstract transitions are filled with tremulous frequencies that we simply can’t escape from, and in the end, it’s clearly an intoxicatingly surreal and recommended album for late-night listening.
Philippe Neau :: Domus (Lotophagus)
These eight compositions feature atmospheric notes, delicate tones, and drones, but the real attraction of Domus is the organic beauty of its flora and fauna.
Cathode Ray Tube :: The Oryx At Night EP (Condition Human)
Cathode Ray Tube keeps up his regular aural explorations and characterizes his most recent work as dark ambient / Deutsche kosmiche, but he also explores a world in which certain audibles have form and others remain formless.
Solypsis :: Sifting Through The Ashes (Compiled by Skymall) (Self Released)
A grueling feast of grit and glitch that celebrates 25 years of music-making—Skymall prepares an unforgiving mix consisting of blistering electro, breaks, rhythmic noise, and magnetized distortion.
mōshonsensu :: A Tribal Realm (Self Released)
A Tribal Realm is a captivating visual-audio trip that offers a hypnotic and ethereal auditory experience.
Faded Saga :: Faded Saga (ENRECO)
Sun-soaked, abstract, and vintage-sounding electronics with fuzzy melodic rhythms.
Rodrigo Passannanti :: Omnipresence (EC Underground)
The aptly-titled compendium seeks solace in transparent melodic layers, continually engaging its listeners through expansive and cinematic sonic snapshots.
Stefan Vincent :: Pre Melancholy EP (MUSAR)
With juxtaposed rhythms and flickering beats, Dutch producer Stefan Vincent’s Pre Melancholy (released on MUSAR, June 2023) is a sweetened industrial and shuffled ambient-techno mélange.
Syntax Erika & Lebed :: 10538KM EP (Detroit Underground)
Another powerful panoramic of dense electrical sound fields seamlessly connecting North America and Eastern Europe, its epicenter located in Detroit.
Peltiform :: Like Phantoms (Section 27)
Their previous album—FUTURISM (Section 27, 2022—was billed as “exploring the farthest reaches of sandblasted electronics,” and Like Phantoms is a smooth progression forward. Despite being “underground” since 2009, Section 27’s releases consistently push IDM and experimental electronic boundaries, inching closer and closer to the surface.
