Low Communication :: 12 AM Not For Sleeping (EC Underground)
12 AM Not For Sleeping finds Ukrainian producer Bohdan Linchevskyi (aka Low Communication) sharpening his signature blend of broken rhythms, bass pressure, and warped sonic textures into a tightly focused, nocturnal world. Across original tracks and a suite of adventurous remixes, the record becomes a vivid study in fractured percussion and the restless reshaping of electronic form.
Russian Corvette :: VHS Days Vol. 1 (Unit Shifter)
VHS Days Vol. 1 captures Russian Corvette’s half-decade of analog devotion, where circuitry hums and memories blur into motion. Drawn from sessions across Copenhagen and beyond, it’s a chronicle of machines made human—grainy, kinetic, and timelessly alive.
Autechre :: Tri Repetae (Warp) — 30 years later
Autechre’s Tri Repetae (Warp Records, 1995) marked a turning point in electronic music, fusing minimal rhythms, metallic textures, and abstract melodies into something both mechanical and deeply human. Three decades on, its futuristic pulse and experimental sound design still feel timeless, reaffirming the duo’s position as architects of music yet to come.
Drummachinemike :: I Hope This Never Finds You (Self Released)
Drummachinemike navigates the shifting terrain between ambient and IDM, where emotion and circuitry pulse as one. The result is a meditative exploration of fragility and form — nostalgic yet forward-looking, human yet machine-born.
Solypsis :: THE COMING FIGHT (Voidstar Productions)
Solypsis’ The Coming Fight detonates sixteen micro-bursts of mechanical chaos, where James Miller channels industrial grit and power-noise pulses through fractured, bass-driven technoid landscapes. Across blistered percussion, warped synths, and insurgent IDM-infused breakcore, the album balances brutality with transcendence, crafting a confrontational yet hypnotic journey through sound.
Mouse On Mars :: Herzog Sessions (sonig) — [flashback]
Werner Herzog’s Fata Morgana is a hallucinatory, Sahara-set “documentary” filmed decades ago, blending long, hypnotic desert shots with music by Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen. In 2007, Mouse on Mars created a live, psychedelic score for the film, merging electronics, guitar, drums, and horns into an experimental soundtrack that ultimately left Herzog unimpressed.
Between the circuits and the Tide Pools :: A conversation with Pulse Emitter
For over thirty years, Daryl Groetsch—best known as Pulse Emitter—has explored the interplay of noise and beauty, crafting electronic soundscapes where the mechanical and organic coexist. His latest release, Tide Pools, translates the intricate microcosms of coastal rock pools into shimmering, meditative electronic worlds.
The Black Dog :: Loud Ambient (Dust Science)
The Black Dog’s Loud Ambient channels the raw, methodical energy of ’90s British electronica, translating Sheffield’s margins—abandoned factories, council estates, and urban rhythms—into music that moves both mind and body. With a renewed love for classic drum machines and a disciplined architecture of arpeggio and bass, the album fuses ambient immersion with dancefloor rigor, proving that old-school craft can still feel urgent and alive.
Autechre wound through New England on the final leg of their 2025 U.S. Tour
Electronic duo Autechre closed out the U.S. leg of their 2025 tour with two strikingly different New England performances — an intense, body-shaking set in Boston followed by a more exploratory, textural journey in Portsmouth, NH. Showcasing their mastery of sound design and space, the pair transformed each venue into a unique sonic environment before heading to Europe for the next phase of their tour.
