Experimental Electronic Music
In many respects, the 12”s from Acid For The Grandma sound more like compilations. Each EP has a sense of being distinct and unique rather than a progression from one to the next. The real surprise is that it is one artist behind these releases, one musician exploring acid, ambient, house and techno and doing so from incredibly varied perspectives.
A full-circle encounter with Steb Sly’s The Galaxy Projector, a gloriously funky, retro-futurist transmission that bridges house, breaks and cosmic soul while reminding us that the deepest purpose of music is not simply to move bodies, but to bring us together.
A veteran of groundbreaking music-video and visual collaborations, Ben Stokes puts his most personal stamp on Dimensional Holophonic Sound (DHS), his singular project blending acid electronics, old-school analog imagery, and experimental video production. Simultaneously, Stokes has built a distinctive career at the intersection of sound, art, technology, and visuals.
Concept Record not only works as a creative tool; it demonstrates what can be created when Professor Ben’s instruction is heeded. The concept is to use this record alongside other records to make new records, while providing a legitimate D.H.S. album of its own right—one that embraces the features that help make physical records so fun and appealing.
For our fourth booth link-up with Asturian selector Mora and a first-time session with Mexico’s Dani Wais, we recorded a two-hour, genre-spanning b2b2b live at Radio Relativa.
Lake Haze trades in his signature atmospheric style for a funkier groove on his latest EP, Geonomic Fusion. Prioritizing acid leads and steady grooves, the Lisbon-based producer presents seven electro tracks that seem old-school inspired, but that don’t come off as dusty in any way.
Seamlessly weaving together the pulsing rhythms of house with the atmospheric textures of electronic jazz, Highway Project unfolds like a cinematic score for nocturnal wanderers—a sonic companion crafted for midnight drives and the open road’s quiet mysteries.
Set for release in late February 2025, Furnace Room Records will also be dropping a series of remixes throughout the year. Featuring contributions from Christian Smith, Neil Landstrumm, Rhys Fulber, John Selway, Mike Opani, Signal Deluxe, and Andrey Sirotkin, these remixes take apaull’s visionary sound in fresh, club-ready trajectory.
Interestingly, DAT Tapes Vol 02 casts light on a style that Jusat is not known for. There are moments of his trademark techno, but it is a more floor centric house that is at the heart of the record. The depth of previous productions is less evident, the explorations on offer being more rhythmic than melodic.
Máximo Volumen 1 elevates late night grooves for splintered wooden floorboards of abandoned warehouses—its detuned techno and rave pulse pointed directly at your feet.
Founded on mixtapes, the label has grown into a full vinyl outfit with a catalogue of releases that have focused on disco, funk and 80s electronics. Venturing into the modern age, Futur is a compilation of four artists across six tracks.
