Mike Gale :: Hey Presto (Self Released)
Mike Gale’s Hey Presto, a lightened long-player that tip-toes between lounge, downtempo, shoegaze, and laid-back soundscapes that are cool to the touch, was released in April 2024.
Hitori Tori :: Signals From The Uncharted Expanse EP (Satellite Era)
The high-octane drill’n bass maestro keeps pushing the envelope, incorporating sandblasted acid-electronics and off-center rhythms in this heavyweight five pack manifest.

Zero Eight pulls off a rather satisfying mix of noise, ambient, and experimental electronica. The way the record is constantly shifting into new ideas makes it really engaging from front to back, but so does its claustrophobic atmosphere.
Sommerfeld :: Expansion EP (Ryu)
It is easy to get entrained on these beats, and they have just the right level of aggression to appease fans of noise and post-industrial music as they would those who are just in it for the pure power of the pulse that hits like a lightweight spinning a punching bag.
Heiki :: Valley Beyond (Suction)
Heiki Sillaste draws on his industrial roots while riffling through ambient, electro, house and techno. He selects elements from these varied genres with such a discerning ear that his compositions are never cluttered nor crowded.
Fragile X :: Halcyon Maze EP (Intellitronic Bubble)
Fragile X’s audio work is a delightful discovery, as demonstrated by Halcyon Maze in particular with Iceland’s prolific IDM, electro, and techno imprint Intellitronic Bubble.
