Across The Dreamers Of Dreams, Bowman detonates maniacal braindance mechanics, electro errorfunk ripped into synthetic ribbons, and a cut-and-paste sampladelia that early Coldcut would likely have fought over releasing.

Marat Koshkin :: Echoloto (Soak)
Each chopped rhythm feels tethered by fragile harmonic strands, giving Echoloto its identity as a multidimensional collection of fuzzy glitch-hop abstraction, steeped in grit, grain, and faded sonic residue.
V/A :: soak vol 2 (Soak)
soak vol 2 unfolds like a damaged transmission from somewhere intimate and unplaceable—32 fractured, emotional, and strangely beautiful pieces stitched together from the outer edges of contemporary electronic sound.
Record Of Tides :: Intercelestial (Mahorka)
Within that tension between structure and collapse, Sven Piayda uncovers a strange sense of ease. Intercelestial thrives inside instability, shaping corroded electronics and broken rhythmic patterns into something fluid, tactile, and strangely alive.
Icky Reels :: DL Poisons (Self Released)
The downtempo chug is still there, but it’s been processed through decades of IDM evolution, filtered through the same sensibility that informed Beans’ abstract hip-hop work and Schematic’s experimental roster. DL Poisons’ unsettling in the way that the best experimental electronic music should be, familiar enough to feel grounded, strange enough to keep you off balance.
Substak :: Empty Halls EP (See Blue Audio)
Empty Halls is a longer meditation, generating a haunting atmosphere that invites the listener to become lost inside its unfolding darkness. In this way, it can also provide peace and comfort in the darkness of wintertime.
Luca Bevacqua :: NOSTOI (Evel)
NOSTOI reveals Luca Bevacqua as an artist less concerned with composition in the traditional sense than with the shaping of the listening experience. The album aggressively resists passive listening; it asks to be inhabited, endured, even wrestled with. Host and parasite marry.
Chris Russell :: Lumen (Spotted Peccary Music)
On Lumen, Chris Russell trades the shadowed tones of Noir (Projekt, 2024) for radiant piano-laced atmospheres that echo his debut Labyrinth on Spotted Peccary Music, crafting eight luminous soundscapes that feel like stepping through a veil into widening light.
RhaD :: Ghost Music Library (Unexplained Sounds Group)
With RhaD, Raffaele Pezzella fractures memory and signal into a dense, hallucinatory archive where lost transmissions feel disturbingly alive.
Babs Santini :: The Formless Irregular (Timeless Editions) — Book review
A definitive, full-color celebration of the elusive visionary Babs Santini—whose surreal, erotically charged collages shaped the visual world of Nurse With Wound and its avant-garde circle—The Formless Irregular spans five decades of radical image-making that transforms waste, dreams, and noise into haunting, darkly humorous art.
Intelligent Life :: Qualia (Self Released)
Intelligent Life is a quietly immersive collaboration between Jeff Düngfelder, Mike Brown, and Joshua Trinidad that merges downtempo electronics with jazz-influenced instrumentation. With trumpet, contrabass, and ambient textures woven into a meditative whole, the album invites deep listening and emotional stillness.
