Yu Su :: Foundry (Short Span)

Headlines Reviews by

Overall, Foundry has a lot of diversity in it. It leans toward ambient, but given Yu Su’s background as a DJ and her ability to move fluidly between genres, it makes sense. This is an interesting listen. It’s not as immediately accessible as Yellow River Blue, but it’s more cohesive in its vision. The collaborations add depth without overshadowing her voice, and the album feels like a natural progression rather than a lateral move. For a label like Short Span, which has been championing forward-thinking electronic music, this is a fitting release.

Yulyseus :: Nothing Under Heaven (n5MD)

Headlines Reviews by

The nostalgia embedded within Nothing Under Heaven is particularly striking. It is not tied to any singular past, nor does it lean on sentimentality. Instead, it manifests as a kind of emotional afterimage. A sense of having felt something deeply without being able to fully recall its shape. This gives the music a haunting familiarity, as though it is reflecting something the listener already carries but has not yet named.

Puscha :: Not That Special (NEN)

Headlines Reviews by

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.

V/A :: Full Spectrum 3 (Touched Music)

Headlines Reviews by

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)

Headlines Reviews by

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.

OdNu + Ümlaut :: Metamorphoses (Audiobulb) — Exclusive preview!

Headlines Reviews by

Metamorphoses is patient music. It doesn’t demand your attention, but it rewards it. For a label like Audiobulb, which has spent over two decades curating work that exists at the intersection of the electronic and the organic, this feels like a natural fit. Mazza and Düngfelder have found a shared language here, one where origin and response blur, where sound is continuously reshaped and reborn.

Ital Tek :: Mind Abandon (Planet Mu)

Headlines Reviews by

Alan Myson’s carved out his own corner, one where rhythm is secondary to texture, and where live instrumentation gets processed into something unrecognizable but still visceral. This is music that feels carved and three-dimensional, like the press notes say, but it’s also restless and uncomfortable in a way that keeps you engaged. It’s not an easy listen, but it’s a rewarding one.
