With juxtaposed rhythms and flickering beats, Dutch producer Stefan Vincent’s Pre Melancholy (released on MUSAR, June 2023) is a sweetened industrial and shuffled ambient-techno mélange.

Peltiform :: Like Phantoms (Section 27)
Their previous album—FUTURISM (Section 27, 2022—was billed as “exploring the farthest reaches of sandblasted electronics,” and Like Phantoms is a smooth progression forward. Despite being “underground” since 2009, Section 27’s releases consistently push IDM and experimental electronic boundaries, inching closer and closer to the surface.
Alessandro Ragazzo :: La deviazione del profilo (Stochastic Resonance)
The combination of noise bursts, crackles akin to a detuned radio, a return to field recordings, reverberant knob-twiddling, and terrifying noise washes, creates a powerful soundtrack that evokes a theme of nature versus industry.
Daed :: Simulcracy (Concrete Collage)
Consisting of seven short, crisp slices that mesh well together in an amalgam of fractured and frantic electronics, Simulcracy is a definitive reference point for the expansive Concrete Collage catalog.
Hanetration :: Resonator EP (Self Released)
Resonator by Cornwall, UK-based Hanetration, a five-piece collection of carefully woven ambient psychedelic electronics and intermittent downtempo, is back after a protracted hiatus.
Steve Hadfield :: Donald Byrne vs Bobby Fischer 0-1 – The Game of the Century (1956), Generative Chess Music (Disintegration State)
Overall, Donald Byrne vs Bobby Fischer is a great release and very worth listening to. It is smart, entrancing, transcendent, glitchy, and reminds me more than a little bit of the great works of Brian Eno.
Jvox :: Man Is A Machine (Component)
Joel Tallent, also known as the multi-talented sound manipulator Jvox, makes a triumphant return to Component with a ten-track instrumental electronic feast connected by dizzying melodic structures.
Aeon Cub :: Transmissions from Deep Space 909 (STATIONS)
Processing 23 relatively short tracks of off-kilter exp-electronics, drill’n bass, ambient, noise, glitch, braindance, and space station soundtracks, the album is filled with atmospheric debris and four PSAs to keep us in check along the way.
dyLAB :: Your Fine City EP (Detroit Underground)
Seamlessly eliciting core four on the floor beats and pummeling electronics, dyLAB’s plethora of corrosive and hypnotic technoid forms are arranged flawlessly from front to back.
