Ouroboros emerges as a fully realized assembly of extraterrestrial circuitry, endlessly bent, folded, and reconfigured into excitingly unique forms.

Jim O’Rourke & Jos Smolders :: Albumin (Moving Furniture)
Albumin is limited to 500 copies on vinyl through Moving Furniture Records, and it’s exactly the kind of release that rewards deep, focused listening. Put it on, turn it up, and let the textures do the work.
Unruly Disturbance :: Frisson (Not Yet Remembered)
Frisson is proof that Collingburn’s years in the club scene weren’t wasted. He knows how to build tension, how to pace a track, how to let moments breathe. But he also knows when to pull back, when to let the ambient drift take over. For an artist who’s spent nearly two decades navigating the underground dance world and another stretch exploring pure ambient, Frisson feels like the convergence of both.
V/A :: soak vol 2 (Soak)
soak vol 2 unfolds like a damaged transmission from somewhere intimate and unplaceable—32 fractured, emotional, and strangely beautiful pieces stitched together from the outer edges of contemporary electronic sound.
Record Of Tides :: Intercelestial (Mahorka)
Within that tension between structure and collapse, Sven Piayda uncovers a strange sense of ease. Intercelestial thrives inside instability, shaping corroded electronics and broken rhythmic patterns into something fluid, tactile, and strangely alive.
2View — memorysound/Fading Bright & Spectrical/Litchfield (Perceptual Tapes)
Taken together, Fading Bright and Litchfield reveal the emotional and conceptual breadth possible within contemporary ambient music when approached with sincerity and imagination. Both artists resist easy categorization or formulaic structures, choosing instead to create deeply immersive worlds shaped by texture, emotion, and atmosphere.
Vera V Almgren :: I Det Vassa Ljuset (Istid)
Mastered and recorded at Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) in Stockholm between 2024 and 2026, I Det Vassa Ljuset is based on close-miking of organic materials such as wood, metal, stone, and glass. These recordings have then been processed and transformed into software instruments that can be played live. Released on her own label Istid Records, I Det Vassa Ljuset is available digitally and on cassette.
Hollan Holmes :: The Sanctity of Rust (Spotted Peccary Music)
Hollan Holmes delivers a conceptual ambient-electronic album that energizes beauty, while considering decay, aging, and the passage of time. This could act in a sonic parallel to Holmes’ visual art, celebrating the unconventional elegance of oxidation and endurance.
Eko :: The Mirror World (Evel)
Evel—still dealing in weekly releases—drop another one, this time from Eko with The Mirror World. No excess, no filler—just a focused run of tracks that feel locked into their own system, operating on instinct and precision rather than trend.
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.
OdNu + Ümlaut :: Metamorphoses (Audiobulb) — Exclusive preview!
Metamorphoses is patient music. It doesn’t demand your attention, but it rewards it. For a label like Audiobulb, which has spent over two decades curating work that exists at the intersection of the electronic and the organic, this feels like a natural fit. Mazza and Düngfelder have found a shared language here, one where origin and response blur, where sound is continuously reshaped and reborn.
