Experimental Electronic Music
After decades of quietly shaping the electronic underground, the Dormon brothers return with Colour Kinetica—an album that distills their legacy into a vivid, forward-facing statement. Multiplex’s latest stands as both a culmination and a rebirth, earning its place among the best of 2025 with precision, emotion, and enduring vision.
Denmark is a six-track journey through ambient-inflected IDM, where emotion meets machine in concise, richly textured vignettes. Blending fractured rhythms, synthetic warmth, and glitch-laced nostalgia, it captures fleeting moods with both precision and heart.
Frank Bogdanowitz, aka Dr. Nojoke, delivers Inpi Mari, a minimal techno suite that blends mournful beauty with urgent environmental consciousness. Through four immersive tracks, the EP reflects on the tension between synthetic pleasure and ecological responsibility, crafting a hypnotic soundscape that calls attention to the silent tragedy of plastic waste.
EP No. 2 is a febrile weave of introspective ambient and diverse electronic elements spawned in Plasma Studio Spain and IRCAM Paris sessions with vibrant forms of deep drone, glitchy percussives and glassine texture deployed in the service of sound world-making at once reflective and unsettling to deliver a resonant narrative inhabiting liminal space between contemporary sound art and immersive cinema.
Clock DVA’s White Souls in Black Suits returns not just as a remaster, but as a vital rediscovery—an album that helped define the early intersections of industrial, post-punk, and proto-EBM. Issued by The Grey Area of Mute with expanded material and a proper remaster for the first time, it reasserts the record’s place as both historical artifact and enduring sonic statement.
Haihat’s sonic journey unfolds as a seamless, immersive experience—seven tracks woven into one fluid, textured narrative. In contrast, SPRO’s sonic architecture dives into raw abstraction, layering fuzz, static, and fractured rhythms into a rich, dissonant soundscape that evolves from gritty turbulence to haunting beauty.
øjeRum is the microtonal sound art project of Danish composer and visual artist Paw Grabowski, known for his prolific work in long-form drone ambient. First discovered through The Blossoming of the Nothingness Trees on Fluid Audio, he has since released on notable labels like Quiet Details, Cyclic Law, and eilean rec. His latest album, Drømme I Langsomt Stof (Glacial Movements), blends melancholic tones with subtle microtextural shifts, offering a cold yet emotionally rich listening experience.
Ojala captures the spirit of early IDM—where emotion meets experimentation. Emerging from FM synthesis and inspired by Karelia’s landscapes, the track blends atmospheric depth with playful rhythm. First appearing on Binary Echo (People Can Listen, April 2025), this EP features the original, a gentle ballad, and three distinct reworks, each paying homage to the genre’s formative years.
John Healy returns with a blistering five-track suite steeped in distortion, mechanical pressure, and digital disarray. From the ironclad march of the title track to the fractured geometries of “Monomat,” Healy sculpts a world of warped percussion, ambient debris, and glitch-ridden chaos. Dense and disorienting, it rewards those willing to navigate its alien circuitry.
Everyday Dust returns with Shrouded III, a fever dream of decayed synths, eerie textures, and hallucinatory soundscapes that blur the line between madness and revelation. Paired with the wild remix project Mossed in Translation, these releases plunge deeper into the project’s haunted world—unsettling, immersive, and impossible to ignore.
A decade on, comm resurfaces with sharpened clarity, blending vintage IDM textures with forward-looking electronics. Reissued via mindcolormusic and drøn‘s Bandcamp, it remains a vivid […]
