Style Time offers a fleeting glimpse into the world of exploratory electronics—a soundscape in perpetual motion, dancing on the brink of disarray, yet never collapsing. It pulses with restless energy, where moments of serenity shimmer briefly amid the turbulence.

VSESLAV :: Dryoma (Mestnost)
VSESLAV (aka Stanislav Sevostyanikhin) masterfully weaves shimmering layers of ambient textures and flowing synthesizer currents on Dryoma to craft immersive sonic relics that transcend conventional notions of time and dimension.
Ayami Suzuki :: Rebirth/Omen (Cloudchamber)
Recorded in live conditions Rebirth/Omen is an intricate and captivating abstract and darkly meditative release with some liturgical and spiritually-everlasting properties.
Ben Frost :: Under Certain Light and Atmospheric Conditions (Mute)
Unlike the usual live record, Under Certain Light and Atmospheric Conditions refuses to offer the listener a concert experience by proxy, to be had in the comfort of one’s own headphones. The inclusion of these field recordings, and the fact that over half of the tracks are soundcheck improvisations and unreleased compositions, distances the album from a simple celebration of his past catalog.
The Fun Years :: Baby, It’s Cold Inside [2025 remaster] (Keplar)
Baby, It’s Cold Outside may be seen alongside other KeplarRev reclaims (e.g. optimal lp, Herbstlaub) as unearthed ambient-electronica treasure, or a cold case re-warmed by fresh investigation; and what still distinguishes it 15+ years on is that it not only raises the ghost in the machine, but elevates it above.
V/A :: Unexplained Sounds 3.0 (Unexplained Sounds Group)
Unexplained Sounds 3.0 is a bold statement. A hauntingly beautiful homage to the legacy of the Clicks & Cuts era, this compilation highlights past innovation with future possibility, unraveling micro-rhythmic mysteries and glitch-born textures in ways both cerebral and emotionally resonant.
CausaliDox :: In No Memory (EC Underground)
In No Memory is calming, haunting, and ethereal, its deep undertones of dark ambient and industrial threads weaving a hypnotic atmosphere.
Edmondo Riccardo Annoni :: La grotta è aperta (ROHS!)
An album conceived as if it were played by a bodiless orchestra, where resonances, feedback, Tibetan bells, synths, and trumpet come together in an electro-acoustic tone guided only by the intent with which it was created.
Zeuge :: Aleister’s Meer (Defunkt)
Descending like a submersible into the digital abyss, Zeuge (aka Dmitriy Reznikov) unleashes a scorching industrial IDM onslaught—eight tracks of raw, unrelenting force navigating the murkier corners of sonic research for the Austin-based, forward-thinking Defunkt imprint.
Robert Logan :: Regenesis (Evel)
Robert Logan clearly shows no intention of either slowing down nor producing anything less than the complex, evocative and multifaceted acts of music he is known for.
KIKOK :: Slow Crunch (Mestnost)
Across five original tracks and six transformative remixes, Fedoseev’s deep-rooted love for live performance radiates. Here, performance becomes communion—an unspoken language etched in shimmering soundscapes.
