AN is a prefigurative IDM suite where vulnerable imperfection and analog experimentation converge into a quietly authoritative, future-facing work that feels less like homage and more like the next chapter of electronic music unfolding in real time.
Reviews
autumna :: forget me not (Self Released)
Arriving in late 2025, forget me not extends autumna’s dusty-ambient lineage—bookended by Emile Wauters’ vast, style-roaming discography—into a haze of memory, melancholia, and softly shimmering sonic tableaux.
V/A :: The Third Mind. A Sonic Tribute to the Dreamachine (Unexplained Sounds Group)
Guided by Brion Gysin’s radical perceptual legacy, The Third Mind. A Sonic Tribute to the Dreamachine charts a hypnotic journey through ritual, abstraction, and experimental electronics—where sensory illusion, cerebral exploration, and darkly playful sound research collide.
Atlea :: Optics EP (Katabatik)
A shadowed pulse circles Optics, as Atlea folds primal electronic textures, finely etched vocals, and dark techno motion into a hushed yet magnetic release that lingers at the edges of perception.
Containment :: The Rotating Boy EP (Condition Human) — [concise]
A visceral debut from Chang Terhune’s new alias Containment, The Rotating Boy is a feral four-track assault where broken jungle, corroded synths, and hyper-pressurized breakbeats fuse into a volatile rush of euphoria, collapse, and percussive violence.
V/A :: ZEROTWO (Black Shapes)
ZEROTWO is Black Shapes’ second statement—a tightly engineered techno EP where four distinct voices sculpt smoke-drenched, late-night architectures of tension and release, balancing ferocity and control inside a fully immersive, hallucinatory soundspace.
Sematic4 :: Different Sky (Bass Agenda)
Channelling frozen tundra, sci-fi vastness and disciplined electro power, Sematic4 returns to Bass Agenda Recordings with Different Sky—a glacial, body-locking long player of pure-form machine […]
KMFDM :: ENEMY (Metropolis)
With ENEMY, KMFDM prove—42 years into their own brutalist continuum—that the beats still slam, the identity is unmissable, and while the grooves and craft hit exactly as promised, the righteous anger now lands more as familiar ritual than freshly aimed provocation.
Patricia Wolf :: Hrafnamynd (Balmat)
Patricia Wolf’s Hrafnamynd—her second LP for Balmat—melds ambient composition, field recordings, and empathic melody into a haunting, memory-soaked soundtrack whose warm synths, birdsong, and tape-worn textures mirror Edward Pack Davee’s raven-haunted Icelandic imagery and its meditation on collective and personal remembrance.
HITORI TORI :: Conflated Narratives (Evel) — [concise]
HITORI TORI’s Conflated Narratives channels tranquilized glitch and elongated electroacoustic drift into a meticulous, otherworldly suite where fractured rhythms and microscopic detail reward deep, repeated listening.
Acid Kult :: Silent Mantra EP (Perimeter Junk)
Oliver Dodd’s debut Silent Mantra EP for Perimeter Junk is a taut, club-ready statement of intent: three lean acid tools that prioritize pressure, discipline, and groove over spectacle, letting controlled tension and physical rhythm speak louder than excess.
