Jordan Schmelzer’s debut as Dead Edit, Signal Loss, plunges deep into the industrial undercurrents of IDM, where fractured rhythms, mechanical weight, and ambient collage converge in a dense assemblage of broken beats and digital decay.

Autechre :: Live @ Cabaret Aléatoire, Marseille (Oct 13, 2026)
A disorienting, sometimes brutal experience that demanded we surrender to the music, accepting the limits of our own bodies and senses, resulting in a concert that fully lived up to Autechre’s glorious reputation. Article by: Christopher Mathieu and Georges White
Interdimensional Warlock :: Castlevania Vibes EP (Pretension)
Two originals, three remixes, five cuts of finely engineered funk. Interdimensional Warlock takes familiar electro ingredients, wires them to a dirty great bassline and sets the whole lot loose after dark. Get your stank face on.
Acid For The Grandma :: What?
In many respects, the 12”s from Acid For The Grandma sound more like compilations. Each EP has a sense of being distinct and unique rather than a progression from one to the next. The real surprise is that it is one artist behind these releases, one musician exploring acid, ambient, house and techno and doing so from incredibly varied perspectives.
Andreas Tilliander :: Ljud [2026 Remaster] (Keplar)
Capturing his intuitive approach to electronica—minimalist, warm, playful (Ljud-ic?!) and obliquely house-informed, like its precursor, Ljud is a timeless work driven by repetition and microvariation, happy accident and spontaneity, the casuality and vibrancy of its spirit tangible throughout.
V/A :: ZEROFOUR EP (Black Shapes)
Black Shapes’ ZEROFOUR delivers four uncompromising transmissions of Millsian techno, smoked-out acid and analogue futurism, where relentless pressure, machine-driven psychedelia and late-night propulsion do all the talking.
Steb Sly :: The Galaxy Projector (Self Released)
A full-circle encounter with Steb Sly’s The Galaxy Projector, a gloriously funky, retro-futurist transmission that bridges house, breaks and cosmic soul while reminding us that the deepest purpose of music is not simply to move bodies, but to bring us together.
[2View] Drift :: Manic EP / Radius Etc :: Alive & Thriving EP (The Consumers Research and Development Label)
The Consumers Research and Development Label is clearly not trying to be one thing, and that’s the most encouraging part of this reintroduction. A techno veteran finally putting out his own record after twenty years of platforming everyone else, sitting right next to a hip-hop travelogue built out of literal years of instability and constant movement, that’s a genuinely odd pairing on paper, and it works precisely because neither release is compromising to fit next to the other. They just happen to share a home.
Interstellar Seance :: Synaptic Cliffs
What began as an ordinary box of records arriving at work quickly turns into a strange trip down the rabbit hole of Synaptic Cliffs—a label where extraterrestrials, electronic music legends, immaculate vinyl and one very elusive artist called pdqb somehow all make perfect sense.
SUAHN :: Distort Everything Forever (Self Released)
Distort Everything Forever opens in ambience, spends most of its middle throwing rhythmic and low frequency chaos at you, then returns toward atmosphere at the end.
Kim Cascone :: Post-Digital Music: Essays (1999–2026) (Silent)
Kim Cascone’s book Post-Digital Music gives sound artists the conceptual thought tools that help open up connective valves between the unconscious and conscious minds, stimulating the growth of imagination. This collection of essays is also essential reading for the continued critical discourse around issues of electronic music production and reception.
