In Place of Language is a truly exciting record. In a time where much of electronic music harks back to the past, two trailblazers have combined to produce an EP that is firmly set on the future.

M. B. & P.U.M.A. :: Moho Abyss (Attenuation Circuit)
Moho Abyss is quite distant from Bianchi’s recent classics in darkly meditative, blurred-out melodic ambient, and instead targets its sound exploration toward spectrality, blooming cybernetic resonances, and hypno-ish synthesized pulses.
V/A :: Tomoroh Morning – A Tribute to Tomoroh Hidari (bruitversum)
Taken together, Tomoroh Morning – A Tribute to Tomoroh Hidari stands as a vivid document—one that reflects each contributor’s voice while honoring an artist who cultivated wide connections yet kept creative paths distinct. As noted in accompanying liner notes: “There will always be a tomorrow morning.”
Julien Ash & Philippe Neau :: Notes de saisons (Lotophagus)
At once conceptual and profoundly sentient, Notes de saisons guides the listener through a somber canopy (flowing, blurry textures and windy chimes, distant echoing voices and detached notes), occasionally punctuated by fragile and ethereal light (designed through sinuous, melodious timbres and repetitive acoustic microtonal patterns).
Loraine James :: Detached From The Rest Of You (Hyperdub)
Rather than simple genre hybridization, Detached From The Rest of You proposes a contemporary grammar for electronic composition—an archetype for how these traditions might coexist within a modern sonic imagination.
Up to 23 :: An Apple A Day You Die Anyway (13/Silentes)
Released by 13/Silentes in a double limited vinyl edition, An Apple a Day You Die Anyway confirms the quality of a catalog that continues to intercept the most sensitive areas of Italian ambient and electronic research. And it confirms that Up To 23, now a trio, possesses a recognizable voice, capable of holding together vision and rigor, emotion and structure, darkness and momentum.
Denver’s Little Brother :: Inspiration du Silence Pt. 2 (Syrinx Music)
In this arc, Inspiration du Silence Pt. 2 emerges as a fitting title: a seamless union where circuitry and live performance move in quiet accord, each shaping rhythm and form in tandem.
V/A :: ÁST – We Care Because You Do (The ÁST Project)
Born of love, ÁST – We Care Because You Do is a deeply human tribute to Árni Grétar—released only months before his passing—where a global circle of artists transforms friendship and gratitude into a powerful, healing tapestry of sound.
Hollie Kenniff :: For Those Who Stay (Nettwerk)
For Those Who Stay has an extremely meditative sound. Languid sustained tones, whispers of guitar, the humming hush of a quiet vocal wordless breath, murmurs of restrained piano, each song flowing into another like each breath in and out breath flows into another during meditation.
Abul Mogard & Rafael Anton Irisarri :: Where Light Pauses in the Silence of the Sun (Black Knoll Editions)
A return forged in fire, Where Light Pauses in the Silence of the Sun transforms memory into a weighty, luminous architecture of sound that feels both inevitable and enduring.
Michael It’z :: Chiaroscuro (Labile) — [concise]
Michael Caria—also known as Michael It’z—conjures a quiet trance of finely detailed rhythm and organic ambience through Chiaroscuro, a flowing sequence of eleven pieces that breathe in subtle swells and retreats.
