Murcof :: Extended Play No. 2 (InFiné)

EP No. 2 is a febrile weave of introspective ambient and diverse electronic elements spawned in Plasma Studio Spain and IRCAM Paris sessions with vibrant forms of deep drone, glitchy percussives and glassine texture deployed in the service of sound world-making at once reflective and unsettling to deliver a resonant narrative inhabiting liminal space between contemporary sound art and immersive cinema.

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.

Ndorfik :: Ojala EP (Local Gods)

Ojala captures the spirit of early IDM—where emotion meets experimentation. Emerging from FM synthesis and inspired by Karelia’s landscapes, the track blends atmospheric depth with playful rhythm. First appearing on Binary Echo (People Can Listen, April 2025), this EP features the original, a gentle ballad, and three distinct reworks, each paying homage to the genre’s formative years.

Onas Ueno :: Umwelt EP (Strata) — [concise]

Onas Ueno’s Umwelt EP is a haunting, immersive journey through ambient and experimental soundscapes. Blending glitch, spectral melodies, and neoclassical tones, each track unfolds with emotional depth and textural richness. From the hazy pulse of “Lo” to the ethereal drift of “What Angels,” the EP moves fluidly between abrasion and serenity, leaving a lasting, otherworldly impression.

Celine Arnauld :: Fragmented error sync (Evel) — [concise]

Fragmented error sync by Celine Arnauld (aka Pablo Miranda) is a gripping dive into glitch-laced braindance, where fractured rhythms and abrasive textures collide. Across thirteen tracks, Miranda fuses chaos and precision, crafting dense, hypnotic sequences from shattered sound. It’s a meticulously detailed journey through digital decay—jagged, raw, and irresistibly magnetic.

Braulio Lam :: Blanco y Negro (Facade Electronics)

Braulio Lam’s latest on Facade Electronics dives into the quiet intensity of analog sound, where ambient textures, glitch rhythms, and minimalist tones unfold with meditative precision. Across ten tracks, he crafts a stark yet emotive landscape—marked by dub echoes, digital decay, and restrained beauty—inviting reflection through the subtle interplay of noise, silence, and structure.
