Neuro… No Neuro :: MemLoss (Audiobulb)
Markarian has a unique process here and MemLoss conveys a unique ambience that is centered on leaving you in a daze. This isn’t abstract sound art for its own sake, it’s documentation of confusion, of forgetting, of grasping for something that’s no longer there. MemLoss doesn’t need to justify itself. It just is.
Özcan Saraç :: OS ZA CR AA NC (Evel)
OS ZA CR AA NC stands as an immense body of experimental electronic excavation — a sprawling surge of shattered atmospheres, industrial IDM pressure, broken-beat deconstruction, and invasive sound design that engulfs senses without pause.
SKSSS :: Exploraciones al Vacio (Aerial Sound)
Exploraciones Al Vacio works because it refuses to play nice. The field recordings, the layered textures, the deliberate pacing, it all adds up to something that feels purposeful rather than indulgent.
Half-Ass Astronaut :: I Like Pretty Things (Not Yet Remembered)
What begins as mechanical sound manipulation gradually transforms into drum-heavy recollections from another era entirely. A surreal passage through decades of IDM evolution, overflowing with restless imagination and stylistic bliss.
WONKS :: Shadow Tactics EP (Zoitrax)
Shadow Tactics maintains a focus on structure and texture—beats splinter, surfaces scrape, and each element is placed with intent. It’s a concise study in mechanical detail and broken rhythm, placing WONKS in conversation with artists like Richard Devine, Funckarma, Hecq, and Funkstörung.
Octavcat :: Ailurophobia (VLSI)
Octavat balances playful experimentation with precise execution, offering moments of introspection, energy, and pure groove. Ailurophobia is a fecund, joyous exploration of rhythm, texture, and mood—an electronic album that delights in detail, danceability, and inventive sound design.
V/A :: Unit Shifter Compilation 2 (Unit Shifter)
Unit Shifter has been quietly building a catalog that spans the breadth of contemporary electronic music, and Compilation 2 is a strong showcase of that vision. For a label ten years in, this is exactly the kind of release that reinforces their place in the scene, varied, charitable, and committed to curating music that actually takes you somewhere.
7053M4R14 :: SUN SERIES | AE\SS_02 EP (Adepta Editions) — [concise]
Together, these tracks form a succinct pairing, orbiting just beyond cerebral breakbeat fragments and electronic flickers—an intense sonic link that stretches rhythm toward its outer limits.
Icky Reels :: DL Poisons (Self Released)
The downtempo chug is still there, but it’s been processed through decades of IDM evolution, filtered through the same sensibility that informed Beans’ abstract hip-hop work and Schematic’s experimental roster. DL Poisons’ unsettling in the way that the best experimental electronic music should be, familiar enough to feel grounded, strange enough to keep you off balance.
Boards of Canada unveil video for “Introit / Prophecy At 1420 MHz” from the forthcoming album Inferno (Warp)
Boards of Canada return in unmistakable form, diving deep into the shadowy downtempo atmosphere that made them legendary — a hypnotic state of consciousness suspended between nostalgia, decay, and dreamlike transmission. “Introit” and “Prophecy At 1420 MHz” are the first two tracks unveiled from the forthcoming album Inferno, arriving May 29, 2026 on Warp Records.
