SCALD’s latest release Asphyxia earns every descriptor thrown at it: darkly beautiful, elegant, hyper-explosive—punctuated by sudden, punishing noise blasts that feel less like ornament and more like structural necessity.

Memory Effect :: Ritual Machines (Augment)
Ritual Machines fulfills its promise: a hypnotic, otherworldly passage through exploratory electronics, guided by ceremonial rhythm, subterranean resonance, and a persistent sense of sonic invocation.
ATŌMI & Corgiat :: Traiettorie (ATME)
The outcome of this endeavour is a series of traces that embody the distinct vision of the two artists involved, as well as the unique characteristics of the respective territories or places. These traces collectively offer a singular proposition, born from the irreplicable interplay of these elements and the intricate layering of the accumulated experiences.
KMRU :: Kin (Editions Mego)
Kin is a record that offers hazy soundscapes, with layers of noise stacked on top of serene melodies, making it almost seem like a series of distant tunes you can’t quite recall. There’s a faint melancholy woven through it, sure—but that’s not what keeps pulling me back. What really hooks me are the songs themselves; track by track, they’re just exceptional.
Weldroid :: The Peripheral (2026) (Self Released) — [concise]
Inspired by William Gibson’s 2014 novel The Periphery, Weldroid (aka Tamas Zsiros) settles into shadowed corridors of industrial IDM on The Peripheral (2026), where soundtrack fragments hum with minimal light, yet rhythms grind, shift, scrape, and collide.
A-Sun Amissa & Lauren Mason :: Water Scores (Gizeh)
Once voiced by Mason, water becomes both storyteller and observer—flowing through calm, chaos, evaporation, and return. Around this, A-Sun Amissa builds a rich soundscape using drone, classical instruments, processed guitars, synthesizers, and subtle samples.
Dragon :: Interlinked EP (Ryu) — [concise]
Mechanical soundscapes surge through Interlinked, a five-piece set by Dragon that offers little in liner note detail, channeling attention instead toward exacting design, brittle glitch-industrial grit, and rhythmic frameworks that pivot and pulse across layered, chiseled beats.
Andrew Anderson :: Thresholds (Elevator Bath)
Thresholds is an album that stays with you. It subtly alters the way you listen. It opens a door into a liminal space where sound becomes memory, and memory becomes atmosphere. In doing so, Andrew Anderson has created a work that is both deeply personal and universally evocative, a rare and rewarding listening experience.
BlackHazr :: BlackHazr (Mahorka)
This new project follows a stylistic inclination inspired by primordial resonances and natural manifestations from peripheral zones deserted by humanity.
Gangster Computer God :: Gangster Computer God (Heterodox) — [concise]
This assemblage travels across broad terrain yet retains cohesion, even with slightly uneven edges, resulting in a record that ultimately mirrors its own namesake.
syringeee :: Plateau: Bonus Treats EP (Weirdrum) — [concise]
Late 2025 marked the arrival of Plateau, introduced as an EP surging across six abstract, timbre-rich sound sculptures. A few months on, a set of bonus treats emerges—four new pieces extending that journey along a brisk, polished braindance continuum.
