Experimental Electronic Music
With ENEMY, KMFDM prove—42 years into their own brutalist continuum—that the beats still slam, the identity is unmissable, and while the grooves and craft hit exactly as promised, the righteous anger now lands more as familiar ritual than freshly aimed provocation.
Patricia Wolf’s Hrafnamynd—her second LP for Balmat—melds ambient composition, field recordings, and empathic melody into a haunting, memory-soaked soundtrack whose warm synths, birdsong, and tape-worn textures mirror Edward Pack Davee’s raven-haunted Icelandic imagery and its meditation on collective and personal remembrance.
HITORI TORI’s Conflated Narratives channels tranquilized glitch and elongated electroacoustic drift into a meticulous, otherworldly suite where fractured rhythms and microscopic detail reward deep, repeated listening.
Blending ritual electronics with field-recorded mysticism, Animal Ghosts reframes the rave as a portal linking Neolithic spirituality, industrial culture, and a future-memory of ecstatic release.
Hellacopta’s Collapse EP on Onset Audio is a ferocious 118 BPM industrial punk-funk statement—half-time, machine-tooled techno that balances surgical control with explosive, rib-rattling chaos.
Mike Paradinas’ 1979 is a transportive ambient-IDM memoir, mapping Madrid’s outskirts and his own musical past into a quietly radiant double LP for Lapsus’ Balmat imprint.
Synth spackle spreads generously across Shining Star EP, as Miguel Angelo Fierro’s Single Cell Orchestra distills decades of experimental electronic fluency into four lean, glowing techno transmissions.
James Shinra stands with one foot deep in electro’s 45-year lineage and the other stepping boldly forward, delivering a fiercely physical yet future-facing EP that treats tradition as fuel, not refuge.
shizukesa’s destroy//destroy reframes lo-fi as a disciplined study in motion and restraint, where stuttering rhythms, minimal structures, and carefully rationed momentum turn negative space into the record’s primary expressive force.
Kurt Reinartz Salgado’s Irradiated is an eight-part, dub-tinged journey where finely tuned percussion, ambient shadow, and rugged techno contours interlock into a surreal, slowly warming electronic collage.
Issued on C7NEMA 100 / Furthur Electronix, KEPLER186 in April 2025, Jude Greenaway’s three-track EP channels downtempo, dark, space-drifting progressive music into a tightly controlled, cinematic drum’n dub experience.
