Reviews
Departure Street :: This Broken World (Shady Ridge)
Forged from steel-string electric guitar alone, This Broken World is a dark alt-ambient meditation where looping drones, restless fingers, and decaying tape-like repetitions favor texture over melody, tracing desperation, endurance, and the fragile possibility of repair as sound slowly resists entropy.
HYPERCUBE :: AI Antichrist (Evel)
AI Antichrist hits like a controlled detonation—precision-engineered sound that shatters expectation and pulls the listener into a vivid, destabilizing world. It’s immersive, physical, and unapologetically bold: electronic music not just heard, but inhabited.
NØNE :: XX 26 EP (Molecular)
Built for the long stretch of the night when momentum matters more than spectacle, XX 26 delivers grounded, ritual-minded techno that sustains the room, honors shared dancefloor memory, and moves with calm, assured purpose.
ZOiD :: Industrial Wind Quartet (Zoitrax)
ZOiD’s Industrial Wind Quartet stands as a self-contained sonic monument—melding classical rigor and industrial violence into a seventh album that resists lineage, reference, and easy description.
Jason van Wyk :: Horizon EP (n5MD)
Jason van Wyk’s Horizon, released on n5MD, is a quietly radiant ambient EP that revisits material from Inherent not as nostalgia, but as a slow, contemplative reimagining that deepens his reputation as one of the genre’s most emotionally precise voices.
MODUL :: Metro EP (Noided Media) — [concise]

MOY :: Ghostware EP (Analogical Force) — [concise]
Norwich’s multi-instrumentalist Jonny Moy delivers a masterclass in multidimensional acid funk and braindance on Ghostware, fusing breakbeat pressure with bass-driven propulsion across a sleek, restless sonic landscape.
Neuro… No Neuro :: capsule (Self Released)
The latest release from Kirk Markarian under the Neuro… No Neuro moniker is a meticulously ripened offering of ear-fruit, shaped by a newly favored effects pedal whose very purpose seems validated by Markarian’s ability to unlock its full expressive range.
Wonks :: Scratch Robotics EP (Zoitrax) — [concise]
Wonks’ August 2025 Scratch Robotics EP condenses a sprawling twenty-track sketchbook into a taut, machine-minded five-track statement, where austere electronics pulse with unexpected rhythm and shadowed intricacy.
