Selected for you by Marco and Gabs.
Laggard - Permanent Daylight
(Veyl, 2024)
Constructed from sonics that resemble, either literally or figuratively, the unpredictable and unmanageable creaks, cracks and groans of nature at its most volatile, the release consists of five original compositions guided by an implicit narrative: an unknown, cataclysmic event befalls an Antarctic research station.
Contours - Elevations
(Music from Memory, 2024)
The album reflects a desire to lose oneself in the expanse of nature and also represents the joy of creating with friends. A record that seamlessly blends electronic and acoustic, operating at the intersection of Minimalism, Jazz, Fourth World and Contemporary Classical music.
Total Reality - Dr Sure's Unusual Practice
(Dougal Shaw, 2024)
Total Reality is the sound of a group in constant forward motion, finding new sounds and new ways to express their joy and catharsis in making music together. "A mood like that, you're apt to stay in it, not dial your way out. Despair like that, about total reality, is self-perpetuating." - Philip K Dick
v.a. - House of (S)PUNK Vol.5
(House of (S)PUNK, 2024)
This compilation represents the frenetic and playful rhythm of the Hard Groove / Techno sound of the very powerful queer transfeminist electronic scene in Barcelona.
Bullion - Affection
(Ghostly International, 2024)
Cult electronic whizz Bullion (Nathan Jenkins) has worked with everyone, Carly Rae Jepsen to indie darlings. Now he's gone solo with "Affection". It's a quirky trip – think yacht rock, faded 80s vibes, all with a twist that'll keep you hooked.
FM Skyline - Images
(100% Electronica, 2024)
FM Skyline paints with sound. Think Tangerine Dream meets Vangelis in a pixelated fever dreams, with a touch of that uncanny MIDI magic that makes you feel both nostalgic and subtly unsettled. You'll be humming it for days while you browse obscure Japanese synths on eBay.
Ilija Rudman - The Great Beyond
(Temples of Jura, 2024)
A mind-trip through the afterlife. Mystical sounds, pure analogue vibes. Think midnight soul cruise. AI named ERIC channels Tesla, Morrison, even Zizek. Deep, immersive, the real deal: Rudman's music is now next-level. Ditch the digital, dive in: "Face your fears, gain your strength".
Lanark Artefax - Metallur
(AD 93, 2024)
Glaswegian sonic rebel Lanark Artefax is back! After a four-year break, he's dropping "Metallur" – a mind-bending sonic trip where industrial grit meets ghostly soundscapes, with rhythms through space-time. The kind of record that makes you question everything you thought you knew about electronic music.
