Nicolas Ladoux returns as IKKo with Cheerleader, a five-track release that continues his exploration of neo-industrial electronics through a distinctly European lens.

ΠΕΡΑ ΣΤΑ ΟΡΗ :: Oddling Weather Forecast EP (Self Released)
Always willing to push miles ahead into abstract electronic substructures while reaching back for acid, rave, jungle, breaks, and ultra-low-end vibrations, this is music whose physical impact feels every bit as potent now as it might have in the mid-90s.
Myoptik :: Ectospasm (Zoku – Zoku)
From noise to nice. Harsh to honed. Squelch to sculpture. Ectospasm is a 10/10 top-tier proposition for anyone still prepared to leave the comfort of the known and go poking around in whatever is moving about underneath it.
Novel 23 :: Biogenes Resources (Art-Tek)
Biogenes Resources is a testament to what a new generation of Russian electronic artists would do. The hope and whimsy that permeate the album hark back to a time of potential, where possibilities stretched across the many time zones of the vast Eastern land. In this reproduction, using the original MIDI files, the past reminds us of both the preciousness of our freedom of expression and that such expression can never be stifled.
Sleep Underwriter :: The Hexadecimal Era (Aduaine)
With The Hexadecimal Era, Sleep Underwriter delivers an album that celebrates electronic music’s past with joy and aplomb while sounding completely alive to the present moment. Here, then, is another superb release from Dublin’s Aduaine, a label whose catalog continues to set an impressively high bar through both consistency and relentless quality.
LoMo :: 29526 (Neo Ouija)
29526 is a return under another name and, at the same time, a departure. LoMo delivers to Neo Ouija an album capable of conversing with the ambient techno tradition and with the more introspective sensibility of IDM, sustained by writing that is lucid, visionary and deeply musical.
pray4Manta :: LIMEN EP (Self Released) — [concise]
Occupying a threshold between rugged electro forms and industrial glitch polish, LIMEN exists seemingly light-years beyond conventional notions of time and space.
In Rotation :: The May–July 2026 Dispatch
In Rotation across the past several weeks and months, this multi-view column surveys a shifting electronic landscape shaped by bold and forward-thinking artists. Expect fractured rhythms, glitch aesthetics, abstract experimentation, mechanical precision, industrial pressure, melodic detours, and bass-heavy electro transmissions from Alavux, Annie Hall, Delta Division, Koloah, Low Battery Orchestra, Modul, neuroboy, Nocto, R.I.O.T, Trofusin, and Voltaire.
Ariadne’s Labyrinth :: Endless Corners EP (Adepta Editions)
Endless Corners is a fun EP that takes you on an emotional ride and easily ranks as one of the strongest braindance releases of the summer. For those who grew up on Rephlex, who know the feeling of a perfect hi-hat pattern landing exactly where it should, who understand what it means when an acid line locks into a string arrangement and suddenly everything makes sense, this record is going to hit somewhere deep.
Camcussion :: More Sprouted Lentils (Detroit Underground)
More Sprouted Lentils is Camcussion operating at full capacity—hardware-driven, unpredictable, and completely unconcerned with playing it safe. In a genre that can sometimes mistake complexity for depth, Doig’s instinct for fun is his sharpest tool.
Morphtables :: Absurdance (Mestnost)
Morphtables balances precise braindance programming with technoid structures, shaping a downtempo melodic pull where fractured breaks and electronic details settle into a distinctly IDM framework.
