Experimental Electronic Music
Through his retro-futuristic alter ego Starcadian, George Smaragdis transformed memory into music—channeling the faded glow of 80s analog culture into vivid, cinematic soundscapes. With every synth line, he rewound time, crafting not just songs, but immersive “ear movies” where disco, sci-fi, and nostalgia collided. What began as a creative spark shared between friends became a cult-favorite legacy—one that continues to resonate with warmth, wonder, and interstellar groove.
A radiant constellation of sparks, pulses, and shifting tempos, where fractured synth strands ripple with melodic arcs and luminous curvature.
For the third time, Remember the Future delivers. This sextet of tracks is diverse and immersive. From the dancefloor to more cerebral expressions, the collection offers a wide range and quality. With the clouds that are gathering around the present, this retrospective future gazing is a welcome audio tonic.
Though deceptively simple on the surface, these pieces reveal a deep-rooted command of mood and motion, offering a wistful nod to the IDM genre’s emotive past without getting lost in its complexity.
This release marks the first in a three-part series honoring an ongoing online collaboration with fellow experimental musicians: Familiarity Folded, Familiarity Enfolded, and Familiarity Unfolded.
This latest outing reveals a refined yet playful evolution, where analog warmth meets a pulse-driven foundation. With rhythmic patterns that sway between funky downtempo and braindance fragments, Bexet dances fluidly through melodic motifs and lullaby-like phrases.
Slovenian duo HardWired forge sonic architecture with brutal clarity, marking their debut on Onset Audio through scorched beats and basslines driven by raw intensity.
Always on a quest to unearth forward-thinking soundscapes, microscopic glitches, and braindance residues, AZ-Rotator (aka Uge Ortiz) reconfigures six tracks on Dissociated Mutant Subculture for Satellite Era.
With Desert The Non-World, Sons Of Melancholia doesn’t just create music—he crafts environments, scenarios, and subtle emotional shifts. Highly recommended for fans of lowercase ambient, electroacoustic composition, or anyone interested in the outer edges of sonic storytelling.
If the remaining six tracks of dan/s follow the lead of this opening trio, Slowcream’s return marks a significant chapter not just in his own evolution, but in the broader conversation surrounding contemporary electronic music as a platform for critical, interdisciplinary expression.
This clammy one is packed full of styles, acid, electro, italo, house, new beat and techno, a b2b of two hours recorded live from the new studio of Radio Relativa. Tracks from 22 Recordings, Ace Vision, DJ Overdose, Neud Photo, and loads more.
