From noise to nice. Harsh to honed. Squelch to sculpture. Ectospasm is a 10/10 top-tier proposition for anyone still prepared to leave the comfort of the known and go poking around in whatever is moving about underneath it.

Monolake :: Interstate (Remastered) (Field)
Each Monolake release is, of course, sui generis with a context and sound never to recur, but Interstate is unique in its way—document of a vital musical and cultural moment capturing paradigm shifts in (pre-)millennial music production; its deep textured electronics and ever-morphing cyber-rhythms a snapshot of two phonauts boundary-surfing with then cutting edge tech, causing ripples that became waves that would break over the ’00s and beyond.
The Jaffa Kid :: AE-16 (Adepta Editions)
Adepta Editions have found a kindred spirit in Daniel Pringle. The label’s pursuit of emotive electronics with contortionist rhythms is part of The Jaffa Kid’s DNA. A superb pairing of pieces, two that can ignite the right floor as well as giving the mind space to roam.
LoMo :: 29526 (Neo Ouija)
29526 is a return under another name and, at the same time, a departure. LoMo delivers to Neo Ouija an album capable of conversing with the ambient techno tradition and with the more introspective sensibility of IDM, sustained by writing that is lucid, visionary and deeply musical.
Minimal Audio x EPROM :: Memory Rites
EPROM’s Memory Rites distills his unmistakable approach to sound design into an accessible new plugin format, giving producers a direct entry point into one of electronic music’s most influential sonic worlds.
Third Person :: Third Person (R&S)
For over four decades, R&S Records has built its reputation on championing music that redraws the boundaries of electronic sound, making Third Person’s remarkable debut feel less like a surprise than the label’s latest leap into the unknown.
Fragile X :: Simulacra (Self Released)
J. Gorecki returns with Simulacra, a meticulously crafted seven-track journey that balances warm analog textures, fractured rhythms, and immersive atmospheres into one of his most fully realized electronic statements to date.
In Rotation :: The May–July 2026 Dispatch
In Rotation across the past several weeks and months, this multi-view column surveys a shifting electronic landscape shaped by bold and forward-thinking artists. Expect fractured rhythms, glitch aesthetics, abstract experimentation, mechanical precision, industrial pressure, melodic detours, and bass-heavy electro transmissions from Alavux, Annie Hall, Delta Division, Koloah, Low Battery Orchestra, Modul, neuroboy, Nocto, R.I.O.T, Trofusin, and Voltaire.
WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #53
Radio Relativa Mix #53 captures a season of standout releases, unforgettable club experiences, and creative exchanges, weaving together the sounds and influences that have defined the past few months.
The Field :: Now You Exist (Studio Barnhus)
Now You Exist gives me hope that maybe 2018 was not the last time we heard from The Field, because perhaps 2026 won’t be either. In all seriousness, this seems to be a proper comeback in a year of proper comebacks. This EP will not disappoint any longtime fan, but maybe it’s only the beginning of a new era for Willner, who hopefully hasn’t run out of ink—or MIDI tracks.
Nathan Fake :: Hypercube EP (InFiné)
The inclusion of the original album version closes the circle, reaffirming the strength of a composition capable of surviving such radical reinterpretation. Not merely a remix package, but a study in how distinctive source material can continue evolving without losing its identity.
