Here then lay a rich eleven-track homage to the enduring cultural and sonic impact of the Roland TB-303, blending acid house traditions with contemporary consciousness. Superb work.

Graham Dunning :: Quern (Jollies)
Graham Dunning emerges with Quern (Jollies Records) from a period of academic research into sound and self-built instrumentation with a collection that feels both tactile and purposeful.
Bearclaw :: re[Ø]load EP (Clean Error)
re[Ø]load presents a focused study in kinetic fragmentation, balancing technical finesse with a visceral, bodily pull that makes its abstract architecture unexpectedly physical.
Poladroïd :: Accelerate EP (Roulette Rekordz / Selvamancer)
Accelerate doesn’t chase nostalgia or novelty in isolation—it integrates both. Poladroïd works within electro’s lineage while actively reconfiguring its edges, balancing discipline with invention. The result is a concise but fully realized statement: technically sharp, atmospherically rich, and rhythmically compelling throughout.
Octavcat :: Ailurophobia (VLSI)
Octavat balances playful experimentation with precise execution, offering moments of introspection, energy, and pure groove. Ailurophobia is a fecund, joyous exploration of rhythm, texture, and mood—an electronic album that delights in detail, danceability, and inventive sound design.
Nora & Tess :: Mira’s Loop EP (Clean Error)
Mira’s Loop is a dazzling, forward-thinking electronic release full of melodic warmth, fractured rhythms, and inventive sound design, showcasing Nora & Tess at their most playful, abstract, and emotionally resonant across five brilliantly futuristic and imaginative compositions, each track sparking a quiet exhilaration that is so resonant for the times.
Eko :: The Mirror World (Evel)
Evel—still dealing in weekly releases—drop another one, this time from Eko with The Mirror World. No excess, no filler—just a focused run of tracks that feel locked into their own system, operating on instinct and precision rather than trend.
Puscha :: Not That Special (NEN)
Grounded in an innate sense of utter realness, Not That Special communicates through suggestion and imagined triggers, illuminating the edges of the present moment. It leaves a subtle but lasting impression—an ambient salve for the harms of modern urban acceleration, and a work that lingers long after its final note.
MQSA :: Enmity Voidance EP (Self Released)
UK live performance stalwart Si Brown as MQSA returns with the Enmity Voidance EP, a sleek five-tracker that feels both finely engineered, energetically sharp, and instinctively loose and juiced.
V/A :: Full Spectrum 3 (Touched Music)
Taken as a whole, Full Spectrum 3 reinforces a broader point about contemporary electronic music. It isn’t stagnant, nor is it repeating itself. What it offers instead is a constantly expanding field of practice—one that often exists outside obvious distribution channels, away from mainstream radio, commercial television, or algorithm-led discovery feeds.
Marco Simioni :: JOMO (Detroit Underground)
JOMO functions as a distributed remix field where no single version holds authority, only variation and return. It reads as a chapter drenched in lucid fragmentation, riotous repetition, and sophisticated uncontrolled mutation across 23 parallel expressions of the same hot saucy source — here is then an album that treats composition as infrastructure, continuously dismantled and rebuilt from within, on a label to adore.
