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.

Ruben :: Chambers EP (Self Released)
What makes Chambers work is that it doesn’t feel like an experiment for the sake of it. The processing serves the music, not the other way around. It’s the kind of release that sneaks up on you, not flashy, but it sticks. By the time it’s over, you realize there’s more going on than you initially thought. This is a strong showing from Ruben, and for a limited run of 30 cassettes, it punches well above its weight.
Hatchback :: Phaser For The Ocean, Chorus For The Moon (Lo Recordings)
Lo Recordings proves once more its ability to extend the field of modern-day electronic experimentation, always bringing to the fore a community of talented sound artists with broader visions in terms of musical language.
Paul Vakana :: SB4 EP (Citylinks)
Not a simple translation of light into sound, nor an allegory, SB4 makes and transcends its own rules (as well as minimalist and drone music’s, for that matter), resulting in a rare natural wonder, deceptive in its simplicity but cosmic just under the surface.
FAX :: Escala (DISQ AN)
A delicate undertaking masterfully formed. It rewards any patience with a desire for repeated listening that reveals innate deeper layers of finer detail and craft. With its fractured yet entirely cohesive palette, FAX has crafted a work that is mature, cerebral, and quietly extra-ordinary.
Azimuth Compass :: Compression Paradox EP (DataDoor)
Compression Paradox by Azimuth Compass detonates like a tender love-bomb—radiating sunlit warmth through dark seasons with intimate, groove-laden production that feels made for headphones yet destined for open skies.
Antonio Gallucci :: Hope for Nothingness as Something (Dinzu Artefacts)
Antonio Gallucci’s Hope for Nothingness as Something unfolds a luminous, meditative sonic theater, where meticulous avant-garde textures and subtle micro-intervals create an elusive ballet of sound and reflection.
autumna :: forget me not (Self Released)
Arriving in late 2025, forget me not extends autumna’s dusty-ambient lineage—bookended by Emile Wauters’ vast, style-roaming discography—into a haze of memory, melancholia, and softly shimmering sonic tableaux.
Francesca Marongiu :: Still Forms in Air EP (Umor Rex)
Umor Rex, the Mexico-based label with deep Berlin ties, stands as a beacon of immersive and uncompromising sound art, consistently delivering hypnotic electronic works that blur the line between atmosphere, emotion, and sonic transcendence.
Joel Tammik :: Kriiva (Väli) — [concise]
Estonia-based Joel Tammik’s Kriiva distills delicately woven electronics, natural atmospheres, and micro-detailed rhythms into a single drifting consciousness that feels like a lucid dream rendered in sound.
Rafael Anton Irisarri :: A Fragile Geography: Reworks (Black Knoll Editions)
Ten years after its release, Rafael Anton Irisarri’s A Fragile Geography returns not as a relic, but as a living landscape reshaped by some of ambient music’s most visionary artists. A Fragile Geography: Reworks gathers their intimate reinventions into a unified, deeply felt expansion of the original’s emotional terrain.
