Arca’s latest record pushes her glitch-heavy, genre-defying sound further than ever, turning chaos, vulnerability, and radical experimentation into one of her most fearless works yet.

Cabaret Voltaire :: Back In The Noise
Presumed finished after the death of founding member Richard H. Kirk, Cabaret Voltaire have instead returned to the stage with a vengeance, selling out shows, resurrecting old collaborations, and proving that their dark industrial pulse still hits hard in 2026. We caught up with Stephen Mallinder to talk about the reunion, the tour, Richard Kirk, and bringing the Cabs’ music back to life.
IKKo :: Cheerleader EP (Roulette Rekordz)
Nicolas Ladoux returns as IKKo with Cheerleader, a five-track release that continues his exploration of neo-industrial electronics through a distinctly European lens.
Somatic Responses :: Operational Ambivalence (Self Released)
Somatic Responses and John Healy, specifically on this release, have spent over three decades refining the specific space between force and sweetness that their catalog occupies. Operational Ambivalence doesn’t reinvent that space. It just inhabits it with the kind of confidence that comes from thirty years of knowing exactly where you live.
FRKSE :: Through The Slow Dusk (Iron Lung)
If hope is absent, there remains at least the desire for hope, and in that uneasy space Iron Lung and FRKSE offer an erstwhile companion as the trade winds of failing systems continue to buffet the human experiment.
Tegh & Adel Poursamadi :: Bayal بیل (Injazero)
Iranian experimental musicians Shahin Entezami (aka Tegh) and Adel Poursamadi reunite for their third collaboration album Bayal, a creative response of greyscale synthesis, violin, and traditional instrumentation to a 1964 collection of short stories by seminal Iranian author Gholam-Hossein Sa’edi.
In Rotation :: The May–July 2026 Dispatch
In Rotation across the past several weeks and months, this multi-view column surveys a shifting electronic landscape shaped by bold and forward-thinking artists. Expect fractured rhythms, glitch aesthetics, abstract experimentation, mechanical precision, industrial pressure, melodic detours, and bass-heavy electro transmissions from Alavux, Annie Hall, Delta Division, Koloah, Low Battery Orchestra, Modul, neuroboy, Nocto, R.I.O.T, Trofusin, and Voltaire.
BedouinDrone + Brainquake :: Mood Starters (Mahorka)
(Mood Starters) is a dark, hypnotic, and eerie techno-ish industrial album surrounded by dystopian themes of a humanity trapped in an uncertain future, standing before unspeakable malefic forces.
Snowbeasts & Solypsis :: The Portent (Component)
For The Portent, Snowbeasts (Robert Galbraith and Elizabeth Virosa) drive punishing beats and low-end pressure, while Virosa’s drifting vocal lines remain suspended throughout. In contrast, James Miller’s Solypsis continually splinters structure, reshaping corrupted rhythms into unpredictable forms.
Job Karma :: Tschernobyl Vinyl Re-Release (Rope Worm)
Tschernobyl serves as an immersive depiction of such a wasteland and as a medium to cement the band’s feelings regarding the catastrophe. Both the music and the various vocal samples scattered throughout feel incredibly apt for painting images in the listener’s head; a sense of melancholy is sometimes present, while at other times the tracks become rougher and much more industrially influenced.
Flint Glass & Ah Cama-Sotz :: The Shadow of the Torturer (Ant-Zen)
Drawing inspiration from Gene Wolfe’s monumental The Book of the New Sun, Flint Glass and Ah Cama-Sotz craft a dark and immersive soundscape via The Shadow of the Torturer that evokes the decay, mystery, and uneasy beauty of a far-future Earth where ancient machines, lost civilizations, and the long shadow of Severian’s fate still echo beneath a fading sun.
