With RhaD, Raffaele Pezzella fractures memory and signal into a dense, hallucinatory archive where lost transmissions feel disturbingly alive.

Departure Street :: This Broken World (Shady Ridge)
Forged from steel-string electric guitar alone, This Broken World is a dark alt-ambient meditation where looping drones, restless fingers, and decaying tape-like repetitions favor texture over melody, tracing desperation, endurance, and the fragile possibility of repair as sound slowly resists entropy.
SPRO :: Haihat (NOCUEDO Editions)
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.
2View — Everyday Dust :: Shrouded III & Mossed in Translation (Dustopian Frequencies)
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.
Snowbeasts :: Dire Days (Re:Mission Entertainment)
Dire Days, the new release from Snowbeasts (Robert Galbraith and Elizabeth Virosa), is a fierce evolution—sharpened, volatile, and unflinchingly direct. Virosa’s commanding vocals cut through scorched industrial soundscapes, turning noise into political weaponry. Less abstraction, more confrontation, Dire Days is a brutalist manifesto for a world on edge.
Ayami Suzuki :: Rebirth/Omen (Cloudchamber)
Recorded in live conditions Rebirth/Omen is an intricate and captivating abstract and darkly meditative release with some liturgical and spiritually-everlasting properties.
Aelk Minsur :: Want For Naught EP (Self Released)
The entire work pulses with a hauntological current, drawing from distant memories yet telling a story utterly untold. With warped instrumental frameworks and surreal compositional craft, Aelk Minsur and Devvin Giorgio prove themselves as masterful architects of otherworldly sound.
400 Lonely Things :: Subdivisions (Unexplained Sounds Group)
Attached to the singular process of degradation—evoking memory, loss, and the inevitable corruption of time—and looped patterns but brightly coupled to soothing ambient lines and oceanic shimmering sequences which attenuate the ominous purpose and turns it in something dreamlike.
Everyday Dust :: Petroglyph X and The Fractured Veil (Dustopian Frequencies)
As with every trip into outer and inner places, there is much to ruminate on here after the return home. Further sessions haven’t proved to exhaust what is opened up here, but have only served to expose the many doors along the cobwebbed corridor where one can be drawn into further phantasmal realms.
Philippe Blache (Day Before Us) :: Tristitiam Et Metus Tradam Portare Ventis (Conjvre the Circle)
Esoteric vibrations of ritualistic frequencies shroud these songs in a wildcrafted incense of dark terroir.
