In this tribute, Robin Rimbaud (Scanner) reflects on the passing of Ken Downie—founding member of The Black Dog—whose absence leaves a rare and resonant silence in electronic music, shaped by intelligence, restraint, and a belief that machines could think, feel, and remember.

“Cent’anni” is the new single by Inude :: Floating up rarefied electronics and sound poetry

Elori Saxl :: Drifts And Surfaces (Western Vinyl)
Elori Saxl’s Drifts And Surfaces opens with a stark electronic pulse, setting the tone for an album that reshapes her experiences on Lake Superior into three distinct, commissioned works. Expansive yet intimate, it explores the lake’s haunting duality and the fluid boundary between individual identity and the artistic communities that carry us.

Murcof :: Extended Play No. 2 (InFiné)
EP No. 2 is a febrile weave of introspective ambient and diverse electronic elements spawned in Plasma Studio Spain and IRCAM Paris sessions with vibrant forms of deep drone, glitchy percussives and glassine texture deployed in the service of sound world-making at once reflective and unsettling to deliver a resonant narrative inhabiting liminal space between contemporary sound art and immersive cinema.
V/A :: Tone Science Module No.10 The Final Patch (Tone Science/DiN)

Squarepusher / Stereotype :: The lost album (Warp)
Squarepusher’s Stereotype, originally a 1994 underground release, captures the raw beginnings of Thomas Jenkinson’s genre-defying sound—where fretless bass meets electronic chaos. Now reissued by Warp, it remains jagged, urgent, and emotionally charged, a vital document of ‘90s UK rave culture and a bold statement of artistic freedom.
zakè :: Selected Remixes (Zakè Drone)
Selected Remixes reflects Zach Frizzell’s collaborative ethos and transformative ear, reworking tracks from across the ambient and experimental spectrum.
