Calx :: Time Vortex (Pulse State)
Time Vortex finds Calx locked into a focused pulse—eight lean tracks where disciplined acid lines, dub space, and crisp electro-techno rhythms move with quiet confidence and purpose.
Spacelike :: Spy Satellite EP (Lightlike) — [concise]
Spacelike’s debut suite Spy Satellite threads orchestral depth through shadowed ambient synths, guiding listeners from the expansive surge of “Points In Space” to the delicate, dissolving glow of its closing title track.
Spednar / eczem :: .XOR / TXX (Tarantella)

Allis :: ♾️ / 〇 EP (The Collection Artaud) — [concise]
Sporadic broken beats and dark ambient strands collide in Allis’ twin cuts, where deconstructed electronics pulse with shadowy futurism and restless, splintered rhythm.
Promising/Youngster :: Navaras EP (Analogical Force)
A masterclass in curated electro precision, Analogical Force present Promising/Youngster’s Navaras EP as a tightly engineered, emotionally astute four-track statement—balancing propulsion and restraint with meticulous design, tonal control, and quietly radiant impact.
Acidulant :: Let The Acid Move Your Body EP (Who Is Paula)
Maltese electro veteran Acidulant delivers a lean, high-impact EP for Berlin’s Who Is Paula, prioritizing momentum, precision, and dancefloor function over excess or sentiment.
Nima :: Nima LP (PROGRAMM_LDN)
Forged in the pressure systems of London’s underground, Nima arrives not as a debut but as a bass-heavy declaration—channeling decades of inner-city innovation, sound-system lineage, and lived nocturnal experience into a record that pulses with survival, resistance, and resolve.
Containment :: The Rotating Boy EP (Condition Human) — [concise]
A visceral debut from Chang Terhune’s new alias Containment, The Rotating Boy is a feral four-track assault where broken jungle, corroded synths, and hyper-pressurized breakbeats fuse into a volatile rush of euphoria, collapse, and percussive violence.
