Joachim Spieth’s Blended is a slow-burn study in restraint, where cavernous low-end, suspended atmospheres, and negative space converge into a deeply immersive, late-night listening experience.

Guentner Spieth :: Conversion (Affin)
Markus Guentner and Joachim Spieth reunite for Conversion, their second collaboration on Affin, blending ambient expanses with dub-driven detail through a contemporary lens. Minimalist yet immersive, the album balances rhythmic depth and atmospheric stillness, reflecting the artists’ shared roots in early ambient, dub, and deep techno while continuing their distinctive sonic evolution.
Purelink :: Faith (peak oil)
Concave Reflection, Kindtree, and Millia formed the trio Purelink in 2020 to create music they couldn’t make alone. Blending ambient dub techno with glitchy textures, subtle beats, and dreamy atmospheres, their sound is slow, hypnotic, and immersive. Their latest album titled Faith deepens this style, mixing acoustic tones, brittle drum ‘n’ bass rhythms, and poetic vocals into a lush, drifting soundscape made for quiet introspection.
Pole :: Tempus Remixes (Mute) — [concise]

Lorenzo Montanà :: Return to the Labyrinth, a Pete Namlook tribute
This tribute is for Pete Namlook. To honor his memory, I brought together several artists who had worked with him or released music on his label. It has been an intense labor of love spanning nearly two years, and I am profoundly grateful to everyone who contributed their sounds, their hearts, and their spirit to this project. ~Lorenzo Montanà
Loess :: Battens (n5MD) — Exclusive full album stream!
Battens envelops the listener in a grayscale world, one that is cold yet somehow comforting, like the stark beauty of an overcast November afternoon.
korrē :: Oizys (Perimeter Junk)
Characterized as “10 tracks of technoblues,” Oizys, the album, follows very much in the vein of the previous Shrapnel, a lowlight minimal variant redolent of some early ’00s Berlin-inflected dub-tech/tech-dub releases.
The Dubnihilist :: Friday 22:05 EP (Dystopian Dub Discotheque)
The Dubnihilist returns with five tracks of dense downtempo dub techno; Friday 22:05 has four versions of the title track—two of which are remixes by Mono Peninsula and Autonomaton
Purelink :: Signs (Peak Oil)
Signs captures Purelink’s alchemy at its most liquid and immaterial, mapped in mutations of glitch and glass, rhythm and sound, drum and space by turns subdued and subterranean, elevated and remote.
The Dubnihilist :: Wiener Linien EP (Dystopian Dub Discotheque)
The Dubnihilist’s latest half-dozen for Dystopian Dub Discotheque is fully charged with subtle dub-techno strands combined with minimal dub-techno extrusions and are deftly handled with sonic precision.
