OS ZA CR AA NC stands as an immense body of experimental electronic excavation — a sprawling surge of shattered atmospheres, industrial IDM pressure, broken-beat deconstruction, and invasive sound design that engulfs senses without pause.

SKSSS :: Exploraciones al Vacio (Aerial Sound)
Exploraciones Al Vacio works because it refuses to play nice. The field recordings, the layered textures, the deliberate pacing, it all adds up to something that feels purposeful rather than indulgent.
Ruben :: Chambers EP (Self Released)
What makes Chambers work is that it doesn’t feel like an experiment for the sake of it. The processing serves the music, not the other way around. It’s the kind of release that sneaks up on you, not flashy, but it sticks. By the time it’s over, you realize there’s more going on than you initially thought. This is a strong showing from Ruben, and for a limited run of 30 cassettes, it punches well above its weight.
V/A :: Unit Shifter Compilation 2 (Unit Shifter)
Unit Shifter has been quietly building a catalog that spans the breadth of contemporary electronic music, and Compilation 2 is a strong showcase of that vision. For a label ten years in, this is exactly the kind of release that reinforces their place in the scene, varied, charitable, and committed to curating music that actually takes you somewhere.
Moonphase :: Dark Assembly (Petroglyph)
Dark Assembly is at once cold, organic, desolate, and turbulent. The album unfolds like a powerful ascending electronic ritual, shrouded in a vertiginous blackened aura where cinematic tension and spiritual desolation coexist in fascinating balance.
Boards of Canada unveil video for “Introit / Prophecy At 1420 MHz” from the forthcoming album Inferno (Warp)
Boards of Canada return in unmistakable form, diving deep into the shadowy downtempo atmosphere that made them legendary — a hypnotic state of consciousness suspended between nostalgia, decay, and dreamlike transmission. “Introit” and “Prophecy At 1420 MHz” are the first two tracks unveiled from the forthcoming album Inferno, arriving May 29, 2026 on Warp Records.
Nora & Tess :: Mira’s Loop EP (Clean Error)
Mira’s Loop is a dazzling, forward-thinking electronic release full of melodic warmth, fractured rhythms, and inventive sound design, showcasing Nora & Tess at their most playful, abstract, and emotionally resonant across five brilliantly futuristic and imaginative compositions, each track sparking a quiet exhilaration that is so resonant for the times.
Rob Clouth :: Cicada EP (Mesh)
Clouth threads precision engineering through moments of volatility, never allowing complexity to collapse into clutter. Each track on Cicada feels both autonomous and interlocked, contributing to a broader arc that moves from propulsion to release.
Yu Su :: Foundry (Short Span)
Overall, Foundry has a lot of diversity in it. It leans toward ambient, but given Yu Su’s background as a DJ and her ability to move fluidly between genres, it makes sense. This is an interesting listen. It’s not as immediately accessible as Yellow River Blue, but it’s more cohesive in its vision. The collaborations add depth without overshadowing her voice, and the album feels like a natural progression rather than a lateral move. For a label like Short Span, which has been championing forward-thinking electronic music, this is a fitting release.
Yulyseus :: Nothing Under Heaven (n5MD)
The nostalgia embedded within Nothing Under Heaven is particularly striking. It is not tied to any singular past, nor does it lean on sentimentality. Instead, it manifests as a kind of emotional afterimage. A sense of having felt something deeply without being able to fully recall its shape. This gives the music a haunting familiarity, as though it is reflecting something the listener already carries but has not yet named.
Puscha :: Not That Special (NEN)
Grounded in an innate sense of utter realness, Not That Special communicates through suggestion and imagined triggers, illuminating the edges of the present moment. It leaves a subtle but lasting impression—an ambient salve for the harms of modern urban acceleration, and a work that lingers long after its final note.
