A well-oiled and tightly packed release to kick off 2024 as we keep our ears peeled for more in what could very well be its own genre titled “cold light wave.”

Derrick Stembridge | Mike Petruna :: Cryptic Logic (Labile)
Derrick Stembridge and Mike Petruna’s Cryptic Logic is an easily-digested industrial album with atmospheric aspects. It is mindful of Front Line Assembly’s more atmospheric works, with dystopian and futuristic elements.
Meat Beat Manifesto & Merzbow :: Extinct (Cold Spring)
This is not a collaboration you thought could happen or would happen. Extinct reminded me a bit of the more noisy performances at the legendary Maschinenfest festivals I’ve attended over the years. Like pre-Hands ORPHX or early Synapscape. Become reacquainted with some beautiful music / rhythmic noise.
Grande Loge :: Unruh (Cyclic Law)
This tremendous and tranced-out tribal ambient manifest can make an original soundtrack for those who want to be physically immersed in the esoteric philosophy of modern days wizards such as Alan Bennett.
Cyberaktif:: eNdgame (Artoffact)
This is a psychedelic industrial trip—very diverse, organic and holistic, showing us the perfect combination of Key’s sound sculptures, Fulber’s arrangements and Leeb’s melodies and vocals.
Cathode Ray Tube :: Parity Town EP (Condition Human)
Industrial and synthetic terrain nevertheless harbors a wide variety of severely saturated beats, noise, and bizarre soundscapes.
Meat Beat Manifesto & Merzbow :: Extinct (Cold Spring)
Extinct sees the duo take listeners on a transcendental journey, focusing on the dismantling of beat and structure and recycling the result through layers of beautifully crafted noise and feedback loops, giving birth to new rhythms buried deep in the dirt.
Eric Schlappi :: Raw Øblations 4: Contaminated EP (Errorgrid)
Eric Schlappi’s Raw Øblations 4: Contaminated, which lasts just over 26 minutes, provides even more glitch-electronic warfare.
QphoriQ :: Wonch like Woo (Diffuse Reality)
Wonch like Woo has speaker cones trembling from the needle drop. Employing elements of D&B, electro and even industrial, QphoniQ dowses his productions in low sub to produce a ruffled and textured effect.
Lectromagnetique :: Euphoria EP (Lectromagnetique)
Lectromagnetique (Chornobyl, Ukraine producer) reveals blistered electronics in the form of hardened techno and electro in two tracks spread over twelve-minutes.
General Magic :: Nein Aber Ja (GOTO)
Combining field recordings, distorted electrical pulses, punctuated non-linear rhythms, and found sounds to create an oddly surreal mixture.
