Serge Geyzel :: The Way To Go (Pulse State)
The Way To Go is an album you must listen to closely in order to process all that it offers. It’s not background music. It’s intentional, detailed, and structured in a way that feels both loose and precise. For a label like Pulse State, which shares Touched Music’s commitment to quality and charity, The Way To Go is a strong addition to the catalog.
cable.percussion :: LP3 (Zoku – Zoku)
Pace and pressure drive the core of cable.percussion’s third album—a collection where rhythmic structures stay tightly locked while numerous subtle shifts do the work of quiet madness and thrill.
PhenoTone :: Scale Diagonal (Zoku – Zoku)
These tracks breathe in vast, subaqueous chambers: chasmic, humid, and alive with a tactile sense of depth. There’s a richness here that feels both organic and engineered, a kind of fertile sonic pressure where detail accumulates rather than overwhelms.
Calx :: Time Vortex (Pulse State)
Time Vortex finds Calx locked into a focused pulse—eight lean tracks where disciplined acid lines, dub space, and crisp electro-techno rhythms move with quiet confidence and purpose.
Florian Förster :: Tyche (Pulse State)
From its opening seconds, Tyche establishes Florian Förster as a producer of rare fluency and restraint, delivering deeply crafted funk and machine soul with a calm, assured authority that never reaches for effect, only precision.

Cravagoide :: Hidden Sanctuary (Pulse State)
Cravagoide’s Hidden Sanctuary is a wistful, richly textured IDM suite that weaves ambient drift, downtempo rhythms, and cinematic atmospheres into a nostalgic yet forward-looking soundscape. Drawing inspiration from the golden era of Arovane and Seven Ark, it’s a meditative foray where memory and melody gently intertwine.
