Across eleven brief, bright passages, Some Weird Apples sketches a world of riotous melody and lightly broken funk, where playful ideas arrive quickly, bloom, and vanish before overstaying their welcome.

keyosc :: Echo Parent (Self Released) — [concise]
Echo Parent ultimately feels like a culmination—years of craft distilled into a cohesive vision, bridging disparate IDM and braindance threads shaped between 2024 and 2026. What emerges is a roughened continuation of experimental electronic tradition, forming a worn sonic patina that moves steadily forward through time.
Andrew Anderson :: Thresholds (Elevator Bath)
Thresholds is an album that stays with you. It subtly alters the way you listen. It opens a door into a liminal space where sound becomes memory, and memory becomes atmosphere. In doing so, Andrew Anderson has created a work that is both deeply personal and universally evocative, a rare and rewarding listening experience.
V/A :: The Sound of Dreams (Inspired by Breathing)
The Sound of Dreams is everything I like about anthologies, a collection of very diverse personalities and idiosyncrasies expressing themselves in short performances, with plenty of guitars, strange but empathetic vocals (especially the chanting) and most of all, the sounds of birds and bugs.
Euan Alexander Millar-McMeeken :: Soundtracking the quiet years
Euan grew up in a mostly quiet, non-musical household where records were scarce and music lived mainly in car rides soundtracked by Fleetwood Mac and Whitney Houston—until a childhood Walkman and Lionel Richie cassette sparked a lifelong, deeply personal connection to sound.
Sajge :: Forming (Self Released)
Forming drifts and surges through a rich confluence of electronic abstraction, acoustic intimacy, jazz-adjacent phrasing, and bass-driven undercurrents. There’s a tactile quality to it all—textures brush against one another, moments of delicate frisson give way to sudden bursts of kinetic energy, then dissolve again into something weightless and searching.
Hatchback :: Phaser For The Ocean, Chorus For The Moon (Lo Recordings)
Lo Recordings proves once more its ability to extend the field of modern-day electronic experimentation, always bringing to the fore a community of talented sound artists with broader visions in terms of musical language.
syringeee :: Plateau: Bonus Treats EP (Weirdrum) — [concise]
Late 2025 marked the arrival of Plateau, introduced as an EP surging across six abstract, timbre-rich sound sculptures. A few months on, a set of bonus treats emerges—four new pieces extending that journey along a brisk, polished braindance continuum.
Ian Boddy :: Serge Works (DiN)
In a year already rich with strong releases, Serge Works stands out for its clarity of vision and depth of execution. It rewards patience, revealing new details with each listen, and invites the listener into a space where time, texture, and tone intertwine. Whether experienced as a technical showcase, a tribute to lineage, or simply as a series of immersive sound journeys, it resonates on multiple levels.
Chronotope Project :: Kaleidoscope (Spotted Peccary Music)
Kaleidoscope reveals more hidden dimensions and interpretations of the marvelous world around us, an autobiographical journey through the creative life itself, cyclical rather than linear in form. The feeling is enriching and complex, more listening unlocks more new territories.
Substak :: Empty Halls EP (See Blue Audio)
Empty Halls is a longer meditation, generating a haunting atmosphere that invites the listener to become lost inside its unfolding darkness. In this way, it can also provide peace and comfort in the darkness of wintertime.
