Experimental Electronic Music
Years on from his tape-wrangling beginnings, with two Japan tours and a cult following behind him, Joseph Bastardo’s mid-2025 release Polyshades should have marked a defining moment for both the artist and the outer edges of electronic music—even if its quiet arrival now makes this praise overdue.
With RhaD, Raffaele Pezzella fractures memory and signal into a dense, hallucinatory archive where lost transmissions feel disturbingly alive.
Across eight meticulously engineered cuts, John Nap’s C.C.T. fuses subterranean bass weight, corroded glitch textures, and restless breakbeat architecture into a sleek, nocturnal system of controlled sonic volatility.
On Relative Minor, Near The Parenthesis crafts a hushed, neo-classical ambient journey where delicate piano and drifting synths unfold with intimate, suspended beauty.
After first encountering Philippe Petit through The Haunting Triptych (2010), The Acoustic Cornet—released by Mahorka as a tribute to Leonora Carrington—emerges as a radical electro-acoustic work of abstract, collage-driven experimentation that fuses manipulated objects, elastic electronics, and avant-garde improvisation into a richly unpredictable sonic experience.
Akhira Sano transforms a soon-to-be-demolished family home into a fragile, room-by-room sound diary, shaping its creaks, air, and fading resonance into an intimate work of environmental memory.
Carl Finlow delivers a lean, six-track statement of disciplined, groove-driven electro that strips the form to its essential mechanics while sustaining tightly coiled, floor-focused intensity.
Data Out delivers a tightly sequenced blast of high-impact machine-funk, engineered for immersive, full-throttle dancefloor momentum from start to finish.
On Aepochs, Trem 77 crafts a richly textured, immersive soundscape that blurs structure and stillness into a deeply reflective listening journey.
Captured in a single inspired hour on a humble Casio CT-770, Dreams of the Méditerranéant turns raw immediacy into transcendence—proof that mastery, not machinery, carries the music. With sea-soaked textures from Catharæ and Trem 77 and proceeds supporting SOS Méditerranée, it’s a reminder to create boldly with what you have—and let it flow.
Relentless and uncompromising, the new Kopfkino EP plunges headfirst into sonic extremes—where noise becomes vision, chaos turns revelatory, and transcendence is carved from pure abrasion.
