Experimental Electronic Music
After years exploring ambient stillness and shadowy textures, Deru—aka Benjamin Wynn—returns with rhythm tapes, a raw, genre-blurring mixtape of ten glitchy, percussive tracks. Fusing early IDM spirit with modern grit, it’s a rhythmic reinvention where chaos and control collide. A new chapter, sharper and louder.
Divergent Sequences is a textured journey through analog synths and abstract rhythms by IDM pioneer Solar X (Roman Belavkin). Blending vintage warmth with modern precision, the album moves from breakbeat energy to ambient introspection, showcasing Belavkin’s deep craft and emotional range. A rich homage to electronic music’s past, reimagined for now.
Kurt Gluck, aka Submerged, unleashes a raw, unflinching statement in Reparations Collected In Flesh—a cathartic journey through personal struggle and resilience. With relentless industrial noise, distorted rhythms, and fractured beats, he crafts a brutal yet focused soundscape. Each glitch and crash tells a story, turning chaos into a powerful form of expression.
Chiron, the latest from Enzo Caselnova, is a seven-track plunge into raw, industrial electronics. Loosely inspired by its mythological namesake, the album blends dub ambient, breakcore, and illbient into a brutal yet purposeful sonic journey—distorted, percussive, and open to interpretation.
As if guided by a presence at the universe’s edge, subtle clicks and glitches punctuate Post Ambient Lux—ephemeral and elusive, slipping away into sonic haze. Sparse yet evolving, these elements reflect shifting light patterns that draw listeners into the work’s unique allure.
Dire Days, the new release from Snowbeasts (Robert Galbraith and Elizabeth Virosa), is a fierce evolution—sharpened, volatile, and unflinchingly direct. Virosa’s commanding vocals cut through scorched industrial soundscapes, turning noise into political weaponry. Less abstraction, more confrontation, Dire Days is a brutalist manifesto for a world on edge.
Sedonis is a searing new release from noise icon Merzbow and Chicago’s Signal In Noise label, blending his signature chaos—overdriven electronics, handmade instruments, and relentless textures—with the label’s sharp visual identity. At nearly 70, Merzbow remains uncompromising, delivering an immersive, punishing sonic experience that continues to push the boundaries of sound.
Osmium is a feral collision of tribal, guttural, thrash, industrial, and grindcore elements—chaotic, hypnotic, and unrelenting. Featuring Hildur Guðnadóttir, Rully Shbara, James Ginzburg, and Sam Slater, it’s a global sonic ritual that feels like a Dionysian descent into madness. Fourth World music for the damned: raw, electrifying, and anything but safe.
Each piece on Unseen Footage stands as a reflection, transmitting an ambient frequency both mournful and illuminating. In charting these aural landscapes, West doesn’t merely score silence or sorrow; he challenges us to listen deeply, to sit with uncomfortable truths, and to recognize patterns we are doomed to repeat unless understood.
Test Dept, pioneers of industrial music’s revolutionary spirit since the 1980s, have partnered with Canadian label Artoffact Records to release curated box sets and a new album in 2026, continuing their legacy of politically charged, boundary-pushing sound and announcing a European tour in late 2025.
Hasbeen’s HAVOC INTVL, released with Clean Error in July 2025, dives into glitchy braindance with shimmering bleeps and fragmented pulses. Each track unfolds as a distinct, cryptic phase, blending mechanized dissonance and delicate melodies into a cohesive, abstract sonic journey.
