Braulio Lam :: Blanco y Negro (Facade Electronics)

Braulio Lam’s latest on Facade Electronics dives into the quiet intensity of analog sound, where ambient textures, glitch rhythms, and minimalist tones unfold with meditative precision. Across ten tracks, he crafts a stark yet emotive landscape—marked by dub echoes, digital decay, and restrained beauty—inviting reflection through the subtle interplay of noise, silence, and structure.

Enzo Caselnova :: Chiron (Nebleena)

Chiron, the latest from Enzo Caselnova, is a seven-track plunge into raw, industrial electronics. Loosely inspired by its mythological namesake, the album blends dub ambient, breakcore, and illbient into a brutal yet purposeful sonic journey—distorted, percussive, and open to interpretation.

Rick Sanders :: The Arrow of Time (Dronarivm)

Rick Sanders is a Dutch sound artist known for his ultra-limited releases. His new album, The Arrow of Time, released on indie label Dronarivm, blends ambient and electronica to explore time, space, and perception. With hypnotic textures and a visual, atmospheric depth, it appeals to fans of Steve Roach, Vidna Obmana, and Japanese environmental electronica.

Snowbeasts :: Dire Days (Re:Mission Entertainment)

Dire Days, the new release from Snowbeasts (Robert Galbraith and Elizabeth Virosa), is a fierce evolution—sharpened, volatile, and unflinchingly direct. Virosa’s commanding vocals cut through scorched industrial soundscapes, turning noise into political weaponry. Less abstraction, more confrontation, Dire Days is a brutalist manifesto for a world on edge.

OSMIUM :: OSMIUM (Invada)

Osmium is a feral collision of tribal, guttural, thrash, industrial, and grindcore elements—chaotic, hypnotic, and unrelenting. Featuring Hildur Guðnadóttir, Rully Shbara, James Ginzburg, and Sam Slater, it’s a global sonic ritual that feels like a Dionysian descent into madness. Fourth World music for the damned: raw, electrifying, and anything but safe.
