Finally recordings are out from the massive IFM madness that took place mid of May in The Hague. First are the video recordings from the Panama Racing Club Terrace and from the PRC itself, where this year it was a small secret italo stage.
For the second Interdimensional Transmissions record from Detroit’s Andy Toth, he explores a sci fi fusion of electro and acid, with a remix by BMG of Ectomorph fame. Andy Toth has a long history in Detroit Techno, from an engineering and mixing background where he mixed records for the likes of Mike Huckaby and many others, to co-authoring “Sandwiches”. For this record, Andy had the songs mixed on hardware by BMG in his studio, to give them an even more 3 dimensional sound and an even greater weight. The result for the “Mind Lock EP” is simultaneously hypnotic, acid, sci fi, and electro. The depth of tone, density of sound and maturity of concept come through the 4 deeply compelling tracks that you can just get lost in.
Unsighted lands on KRI with Bodywreck – a four-track descent into shadowed electro, where fractured rhythms and cold synth work carve out a bleak, dystopian zone. Brooklyn-based Nicolás Sierra pairs sharp vocoder cuts with icy synths and heavyweight low-end across Bodywreck, Mental Models and Transfigured Time, while the aptly titled 1984 locks into a rigid 4×4 stride laced with bleep-driven paranoia. New York mainstay and electro OG Alonzo reworks 1984, tightening the screws with his unmistakable, hard-bouncing signature.
Luis Malon returns to Overthink Records with a 4-track EP. Four cuts rooted in his distinctive, functional sound.

On this record, Suzuki’s finely honed squelchy old-school 303 sound, tightly mastered by the sound alchemist Rashad Becker, unfolds with precision and points toward another possible tomorrow. Each track is a sketch, carrying you through a timeless landscape of rhythm and texture and reaffirming Suzuki’s unique command over sound and space.
All Nice Records returns with the 006 instalment, welcoming Raw Takes to the roster for a self-titled six-tracker that lives up to its name. No frills, no fuss, just pure, unfiltered club music pressed on wax. Side A kicks off with House of Phreaks, a dense Chicago house sledgehammer built around a heavyweight bassline that sets the pace from the first bar, no introduction needed. Last Figure pulls the tension tighter before One For Gehm closes the first side as a heartfelt nod to Andreas Gehm – the legendary German acid pioneer whose influence continues to ripple through the underground. Flip it over and Piano Jam brings an unexpected melodic warmth to the centre of the record, while AECD wears its influences proudly, a 303-drenched acid workout rooted deep in the classic Chicago house tradition, the kind of track that feels like it could have come straight out of the Warehouse era. Crime Times seals the deal… gritty, atmospheric, and built for the late hours.
