Albumin is limited to 500 copies on vinyl through Moving Furniture Records, and it’s exactly the kind of release that rewards deep, focused listening. Put it on, turn it up, and let the textures do the work.

Unruly Disturbance :: Frisson (Not Yet Remembered)
Frisson is proof that Collingburn’s years in the club scene weren’t wasted. He knows how to build tension, how to pace a track, how to let moments breathe. But he also knows when to pull back, when to let the ambient drift take over. For an artist who’s spent nearly two decades navigating the underground dance world and another stretch exploring pure ambient, Frisson feels like the convergence of both.
Bluetech :: Petite Constellations (DiN / Behind The Sky Music)
Petites Constellations develops shifting and subtle soundscapes with a retro-ish feeling, emerging from analog keyboards and vintage electronic equipment. However, it also stands as a thoroughly modern album, filled with kinetic grooves and bold compositional ingredients.
migloJE :: 303 (Self Released)
Here then lay a rich eleven-track homage to the enduring cultural and sonic impact of the Roland TB-303, blending acid house traditions with contemporary consciousness. Superb work.
threehz :: Archive 97–99 (PPRZ)
Archive 97–99 is a snapshot of someone absorbing that ethos in real time, two decades ago, and the recordings still hold up. Not because they’re groundbreaking, but because they’re honest documents of a producer learning their craft during one of electronic music’s most fertile periods.
Boards of Canada :: Inferno (Warp) — In an Age of Ruin, We Need to Believe
What began as speculation over a possible new Boards of Canada release evolved into a meditation on how their rare and mysterious presence awakens a profound collective longing for beauty, unity, and transcendence in an increasingly fragmented world.
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.
Robert Thurman :: Cicadas: Broods XIX and XIII (Self Released)
Cicadas does a beautiful job using an experimental musical lens to help focus our attention on an often overlooked yet fascinating creature who lives in a world completely different from ours, yet that is also exactly the same (a beautiful expression of German phenomenological biologist Jakob von Uexküll’s concept of the Umwelt or life-world that is specific to the sensory perceptions of each kind of animal).
RL Huber :: Sea Legs (Self Released)
RL Huber of Eureka Springs, Arkansas has an orchestral sound, with abundant strings and pianos, and a classical-drone crossover feeling that is complex and subtle.
Tewksbury :: rust/wave (Imaginary North)
rust/wave, his latest, takes a different approach. The Hamilton, Ontario-based artist has compiled a beautiful piece of ambient work, and rather than introducing itself as some ambient drone or sounding like that, it’s actually really melodic and beautiful. A peaceful listen.
DgoHn :: Tessares (Planet Mu)
The dubbed-out vocals, the melodic fills, the use of unusual time signatures, these aren’t just technical tricks, they’re emotional tools. The album feels exploratory without getting lost, complex without being exhausting. For fans of drumfunk and the kind of brain-melting beat science that Planet Mu championed in the late 90s and early 2000s, Tessares is essential.
