Operating as Simon Pyke (aka Freeform) and various collaborative ventures, unveils Drift Works—twelve fractured post-ambient sketches unfolding in slow, seamless disintegration.

Record Of Tides :: Intercelestial (Mahorka)
Within that tension between structure and collapse, Sven Piayda uncovers a strange sense of ease. Intercelestial thrives inside instability, shaping corroded electronics and broken rhythmic patterns into something fluid, tactile, and strangely alive.
Graham Dunning :: Quern (Jollies)
Graham Dunning emerges with Quern (Jollies Records) from a period of academic research into sound and self-built instrumentation with a collection that feels both tactile and purposeful.
Gridlock :: Trace (Reissue) (Viasonde)
Gridlock’s Trace returns, and this is a classic industrial IDM release. As a reissue, there’s nothing here that’s reinventing the wheel in regards to production, it was released at a time where this type of sound was innovative and thriving.
Bearclaw :: re[Ø]load EP (Clean Error)
re[Ø]load presents a focused study in kinetic fragmentation, balancing technical finesse with a visceral, bodily pull that makes its abstract architecture unexpectedly physical.
The Music Liberation Front Sweden :: Lost Hope Society (Subexotic)
Lost Hope Society doesn’t deal in easy optimism. Instead, it locates hope as a kind of underlying signal—constant, even when masked by noise. Like Midsommar, it uses brightness to reveal shadow, and in doing so, turns discomfort into clarity.
F~M :: Fose (Old Technology) — [concise]
Two of my favorite sonic sculptors converge as F~M, alias of Roel Funcken and Jeroen Bax (aka exm), shaping Fose into four extended chapters that warp and reassemble rhythmic glitch fragments, threaded with fluid collisions of bass pressure, flickering bleeps, and meticulous sound design.
iNFO :: Sorry I Didn’t Realize (Touched Music)
The resulting experience of Sorry I Didn’t Realize feels untethered from trends or nostalgia bait, instead standing defiantly above contemporaries as both tribute and evolution — easily deserving placement near summit of any Best of 2026 conversation.
Janus Rasmussen :: INERT (Embassy One)
Rasmussen incorporates his own vocals more than ever, weaving them seamlessly into intricate electronic textures as he expands his sound into new territory while retaining the subtle restraint that has defined his work.
Neuro… No Neuro :: MemLoss (Audiobulb)
Markarian has a unique process here and MemLoss conveys a unique ambience that is centered on leaving you in a daze. This isn’t abstract sound art for its own sake, it’s documentation of confusion, of forgetting, of grasping for something that’s no longer there. MemLoss doesn’t need to justify itself. It just is.
Özcan Saraç :: OS ZA CR AA NC (Evel)
OS ZA CR AA NC stands as an immense body of experimental electronic excavation — a sprawling surge of shattered atmospheres, industrial IDM pressure, broken-beat deconstruction, and invasive sound design that engulfs senses without pause.
