Experimental Electronic Music
DISPLACES is an album that I’ll find myself drawn back to, or haunted by over and over, providing sometimes an intimate, intuitive understanding of something bigger than me, and others giving energy from some obscure source, or else… The thrill of not knowing exactly what will only keep expanding.
Across two live, fifty-minute transmissions, Spednar and eczem push their machines to the brink, sculpting raw voltage and fractured rhythm into immersive, ever-mutating electronic architecture.
Steve Horn returns with Troglodyte Tracks, a taut, hard-hitting set of electro-funk cuts that dig into the roots of machine music while driving it forward with grit and purpose.
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.
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.
Positioned as Barcelona’s independent alternative to large-scale festival culture, MOSTRA marks its fifth anniversary in 2026 with a special France-focused edition—expanding its year-round cultural program while reaffirming its commitment to curated, community-driven electronic music beyond the commercial circuit.
With the passing of Éliane Radigue, experimental music loses a quiet revolutionary whose patient, enduring tones transformed listening itself into an act of presence.
