UK live performance stalwart Si Brown as MQSA returns with the Enmity Voidance EP, a sleek five-tracker that feels both finely engineered, energetically sharp, and instinctively loose and juiced.

Samplequence :: Shatter Marbles (People Can Listen)
There’s something quietly affecting on Shatter Marbles. It doesn’t demand attention so much as it lingers, inviting reflection. What emerges is less a revival and more a reimagining of ambient IDM’s early foundations—something that doesn’t stay fixed, but moves just out of reach, leaving behind a hazy sense of familiarity that’s likely to return long after the final notes fade.
Joseph Branciforte & Jozef Dumoulin :: ITERAE (greyfade)
ITERAE belongs firmly in the latter category. It is immersive, challenging, elegant, and deeply rewarding. Joseph Branciforte and Jozef Dumoulin have created something rare: a work of experimentation that feels both intellectually rigorous and emotionally resonant. It is simply one of the best releases of the year. It is one of those recordings that reminds you why you listen in the first place.
V/A :: Full Spectrum 3 (Touched Music)
Taken as a whole, Full Spectrum 3 reinforces a broader point about contemporary electronic music. It isn’t stagnant, nor is it repeating itself. What it offers instead is a constantly expanding field of practice—one that often exists outside obvious distribution channels, away from mainstream radio, commercial television, or algorithm-led discovery feeds.
ATŌMI & Corgiat :: Traiettorie (ATME)
The outcome of this endeavour is a series of traces that embody the distinct vision of the two artists involved, as well as the unique characteristics of the respective territories or places. These traces collectively offer a singular proposition, born from the irreplicable interplay of these elements and the intricate layering of the accumulated experiences.
KMRU :: Kin (Editions Mego)
Kin is a record that offers hazy soundscapes, with layers of noise stacked on top of serene melodies, making it almost seem like a series of distant tunes you can’t quite recall. There’s a faint melancholy woven through it, sure—but that’s not what keeps pulling me back. What really hooks me are the songs themselves; track by track, they’re just exceptional.
Marco Simioni :: JOMO (Detroit Underground)
JOMO functions as a distributed remix field where no single version holds authority, only variation and return. It reads as a chapter drenched in lucid fragmentation, riotous repetition, and sophisticated uncontrolled mutation across 23 parallel expressions of the same hot saucy source — here is then an album that treats composition as infrastructure, continuously dismantled and rebuilt from within, on a label to adore.
Trem 77 :: Reflective (Grape Mod)
Released on May Day 2026, at the halfway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice, Reflective is a reminder of the potential of our international connections and the world we share. Where do we want to go with what is ahead?
OdNu + Ümlaut :: Metamorphoses (Audiobulb) — Exclusive preview!
Metamorphoses is patient music. It doesn’t demand your attention, but it rewards it. For a label like Audiobulb, which has spent over two decades curating work that exists at the intersection of the electronic and the organic, this feels like a natural fit. Mazza and Düngfelder have found a shared language here, one where origin and response blur, where sound is continuously reshaped and reborn.
Ndorfik :: Northern Cache EP (Clean Error)
A breathtaking total display of technical mastery and emotional depth, balancing glitch-ridden experimentation with warmth on skin, indivisible empathy, and a giftedness for melodic sophistication. Ndorfik delivers a set for Clean Error that feels both meticulously engineered and profoundly and deeply heartfelt.
Weldroid :: The Peripheral (2026) (Self Released) — [concise]
Inspired by William Gibson’s 2014 novel The Periphery, Weldroid (aka Tamas Zsiros) settles into shadowed corridors of industrial IDM on The Peripheral (2026), where soundtrack fragments hum with minimal light, yet rhythms grind, shift, scrape, and collide.
