Dissent stands not as a statement but as manifest—harsh, unrelenting, and fully committed to dismantling electronic norms in a storm of fractured signals and sonic ruin.

Transverse :: It’s Broken (Somewherecold)
Discarded elements of broken rhythms, volatile drones, and mechanized auditory collisions are hurled together in an anarchic cascade of aural experimentation. Yet from this rubble, something transcendent emerges.
Anatoly Grinberg & Mark Spybey :: Crop-Dusting (Ant-Zen)
Crop-Dusting explores immersive, sharp, thick, and heavily distorted drone clusters that work on psychoacoustic levels. Micro tonalities and abrasive layers are blended with electronic scintillations and massive, loud blocks of sound textures.
Somatic Responses :: Algorythm of Hate (Photon Emissions)
Algorythm of Hate is an intense plunge into the wreckage of noise and industrial dissonance—a raw, calculated demolition of structure that invites listeners to find order in the ruins.
Snowbeasts :: Devour (Re:Mission Entertainment)
With Robert Galbraith’s decisive programming and the ever ethereal whispering vocals of Elizabeth Virosa they leap forward with an intense and unrelenting album.
Ben Frost :: Under Certain Light and Atmospheric Conditions (Mute)
Unlike the usual live record, Under Certain Light and Atmospheric Conditions refuses to offer the listener a concert experience by proxy, to be had in the comfort of one’s own headphones. The inclusion of these field recordings, and the fact that over half of the tracks are soundcheck improvisations and unreleased compositions, distances the album from a simple celebration of his past catalog.
Antler Records :: The early years
Antler Records, the iconic label born in 1981 from the vision of Roland Beelen, rose anew in 2024—reborn, recharged, and resonating once more. Delving into its vaults, the label unveils a treasure trove of rare sonic artifacts, painstakingly compiled by Lieven De Ridder of Walhalla Records. But this revival isn’t just about the past—retrospective (and new) releases are on the horizon. The legacy lives on as history spins forward—until 2026.
Sigillum S :: Aborted Towns, The Deadly Silence Before Utopia (Subsound)
A gripping, ominous, and irresistibly punchy power electronics album, laced with post-techno industrial flair. Highly recommended for fans of bold electronic experimentation, gritty industrial soundscapes, and chaotic breakbeats.
V/A :: Tension/Release 2 (Errorgrid / Heterodox)
What emerges is a searing collision of glitch, post-industrial menace, techno abrasion, and scorched-electronic textures—a surreal expedition into the darker dimensions of sonic architecture. This is not just a compilation; it’s a visceral map of the Northwest’s most daring sound manipulators.
Phil Western :: Afterflash: A Remixed Tribute (Map Music)
One can only hope more material to remix will be unearthed and that Western’s musical legacy will find further incarnations such as this collective masterpiece. Throughout the record, Western’s uncanny knack for pure invention shines through, guiding us along one more late night journey of blissful inner exploration.
Aelk Minsur :: Want For Naught EP (Self Released)
The entire work pulses with a hauntological current, drawing from distant memories yet telling a story utterly untold. With warped instrumental frameworks and surreal compositional craft, Aelk Minsur and Devvin Giorgio prove themselves as masterful architects of otherworldly sound.
