Experimental Electronic Music
Sleek Vibra is a sensory onslaught—audio shrapnel whirling from all directions—casting the label’s darkest silhouette yet. This is power electronics refracted through the cracked lens of retrofuturism, where the future is haunted by echoes of an analog past.
Contrary Motion is an album for those who wish to embark on a journey of neurodivergence from the realm of traditional thought and soundwaves so as to access the remedies that will give them relief from the complexity of modern life. This is live audio that has been refracted through the studio by means of frequency hopping between Australia, Ireland and England.
The Reverent Sky reaffirms Roach’s status as (inter-)stellar sonic explorer, layering various strands of his stylistic armory into a mesmeric tableau of oneiric ambience offset with a timeless pulse.
Meteorites isn’t just a succinct collection—it’s a sandblasted, sonic odyssey, a landmark release for 2025 that captures the essence of abstract electronic music at its most compelling and immersive.
It’s a meditation within a meditation, nested inside a larger invocation that defines the essence of Actions Made Audible—a work that firmly places itself within the Berlin School of music. Precision-engineered machinery with analog Mellotron tape loops feature layered structures, ambient textures, and an introspective flow.
Mind-bending, hypnotic, and absolutely essential—Weldroid delivers a sonic experience that is both brutal and beautiful, a rare immersion into sound and motion picture that demands attention and rewards surrender.
Modular Stories seamlessly weaves together dense modular sequences, ambient drift, and tightly wound percussion, keeping the listener locked in and engaged.
More than a mere meeting point of like-minded musicians—Full Spectrum 2 is an ecosystem of sound, vibrant with diversity, purpose, and heart.
The second coming of Vague Lanes (aka Mike Cadoo and Badger McInnes) comes as a moody, dark, and also insanely catchy collection of darkwave tunes. The group nails the one thing I always appreciate when listening to music: the foundations. If your grooves aren’t solid, there’s a good chance the music is going to fall flat.
One can only hope more material to remix will be unearthed and that Western’s musical legacy will find further incarnations such as this collective masterpiece. Throughout the record, Western’s uncanny knack for pure invention shines through, guiding us along one more late night journey of blissful inner exploration.
Gently corroded synth figures, filtered field recordings, and soft tape hiss assemble into scenes that feel lived-in rather than composed. These aren’t tracks in the traditional sense so much as zones—delicate, slow-form atmospheres tuned to the rhythms of stillness and peripheral awareness.
