A label and collective that kept going, kept releasing, kept refining a shared aesthetic without compromise or concession to trends. aux4444 pt.1 carries all of that history in its drum patterns and melodic builds, and it sounds better for it. This is what underground electronic music looks like when it’s done with genuine conviction over a sustained period of time.

Heogen :: The Precipice (Touched Music)
The Precipice is the clearest proof yet that the trust between Boulton and Bax runs deep enough to produce something genuinely singular. It’s the sound of two producers who stopped negotiating with each other and started finishing each other’s sentences.
Myoptik :: Ectospasm (Zoku – Zoku)
From noise to nice. Harsh to honed. Squelch to sculpture. Ectospasm is a 10/10 top-tier proposition for anyone still prepared to leave the comfort of the known and go poking around in whatever is moving about underneath it.
Roel Funcken :: Kine 3 (EC Underground)
Kine 3 is a newer sound built off the classic. Roel Funcken has described the Kine series as emerging from a need to process a large body of work—dividing material into categories, finding what felt raw and process-driven and unfinished in the best possible way.
The Jaffa Kid :: AE-16 (Adepta Editions)
Adepta Editions have found a kindred spirit in Daniel Pringle. The label’s pursuit of emotive electronics with contortionist rhythms is part of The Jaffa Kid’s DNA. A superb pairing of pieces, two that can ignite the right floor as well as giving the mind space to roam.
Sleep Underwriter :: The Hexadecimal Era (Aduaine)
With The Hexadecimal Era, Sleep Underwriter delivers an album that celebrates electronic music’s past with joy and aplomb while sounding completely alive to the present moment. Here, then, is another superb release from Dublin’s Aduaine, a label whose catalog continues to set an impressively high bar through both consistency and relentless quality.
Kid Bucle :: Memorabilia EP (Isness/Analogical Force)
Isness, the label’s sister imprint focused on more atmospheric and introspective electronics, arrives at its third release with Memorabilia EP, introducing Kid Bucle—the new alias of Ibrah PM, previously known as Malsum within the drum and bass scene. It marks both his debut on the label and the start of a new chapter, working out of Valencia, Spain.
In Rotation :: The May–July 2026 Dispatch
In Rotation across the past several weeks and months, this multi-view column surveys a shifting electronic landscape shaped by bold and forward-thinking artists. Expect fractured rhythms, glitch aesthetics, abstract experimentation, mechanical precision, industrial pressure, melodic detours, and bass-heavy electro transmissions from Alavux, Annie Hall, Delta Division, Koloah, Low Battery Orchestra, Modul, neuroboy, Nocto, R.I.O.T, Trofusin, and Voltaire.
Ariadne’s Labyrinth :: Endless Corners EP (Adepta Editions)
Endless Corners is a fun EP that takes you on an emotional ride and easily ranks as one of the strongest braindance releases of the summer. For those who grew up on Rephlex, who know the feeling of a perfect hi-hat pattern landing exactly where it should, who understand what it means when an acid line locks into a string arrangement and suddenly everything makes sense, this record is going to hit somewhere deep.
Building Music :: A conversation with Yu Miyashita (Yaporigami); architect of the inner world
Yu Miyashita (aka Yaporigami) approaches music as a lifelong search for structure, authenticity, and philosophical expression, balancing uncompromising artistic vision with an openness to reinvention that has defined every stage of his creative journey.
Multiplex :: Human, I Love You (w/ Remixes) (Clean Error)
Christian and Roland Dormon arrive to Atlanta-based Clean Error Records for their latest release as Multiplex, and their labelmates give them a welcome-to-the-neighborhood basket brimming with solid remixes.
