Precenphix :: Teichopsia (Not Yet Remembered / Move Quiet)
Teichopsia is a dense, interactive array of drifting electronic environments—machinery humming somewhere above the atmosphere, signals circling endlessly through cold orbital nights. An unyielding ambient-industrial smorgasbord not to be missed.
Nathan Fake :: Evaporator (InFiné)
Evaporator, then, sees the pop accessibility and playful experiment latent in releases from debut Drowning In A Sea Of Love (2006) to the recent Crystal Vision redirected by NF through a prism of deep electronica, trance uplift and ambient sweep; also, incidentally, continuing inclusion of fruitful team-ups with spirit kin (e.g. Border Community bud Dextro on “Baltasound” and Clark for “Orbiting Meadows”) into his lone M.O..
BLACK ANT :: Dokkōdō (Y-7-ZERO))) (Self Released)
Sound arrives warped, bent out of shape, tangled inside broken-beat filaments. Dokkōdō (Y-7-ZERO))) moves through knots of blips and bleeps, a maze of micro-techno sparks, flickering bass currents, and crooked mechanical murmurs.

V/A :: Clear Memory 015 (Clear Memory)
Across these six tracks, Clear Memory once again demonstrates how far its sound has travelled. The music may sit within the broad canon of electro, but the label continues to reshape and rewire the colder edges of the machine.
Dryft :: Particle (n5MD) — “Bysemtiv” track exclusive!
Bay Area sound visionary Mike Cadoo returns as Dryft with a powerful, beat-driven dystopian journey that fuses cinematic ambience, abrasive industrial textures, and emotionally charged IDM-infused sound design into a dark, immersive sonic experience.
Illektrolab :: Psyops 2026 EP (Self Released)
Both tracks featured on Psyops 2026 is a sampladelic exploration of archetypical sci-fi electro. Pummeling 808 beats thump with precision, bass bounces under sub-bass pressure, and staccato synths stutter and twist like robotic tendrils.
