Xclusiv – Fools Are Friendly [PH151]
If the front cover of the latest release from Erol Alkan’s Phantasy Sound imprint looks like something from the early 80s, that’s because it is. In fact, Xclusiv’s second single, 1982’s ‘Fools Are Friendly’, has long been something of a cult classic amongst collectors of quirky, off-kilter and obscure electronic disco/synth-pop fusion. Produced by a British studio engineer called Paul Jeremy as a showcase for sibling duo Karen and Maxine Berlinski, it’s the kind of slap-bass-sporting, independent disco-not-disco delight that sits somewhere between early Italo-disco, US boogie, and glassy-eyed underground synth-pop. It’s genuinely excellent and here is presented in both full vocal ‘extended mix’ and’instrumental’ mix forms.
Men With Secrets – Sand Clock LP [CITI034]
Cititrax presents Sand Clock, the new full-length album by Men With Secrets – the Italian trio of Donato Dozzy, Lino Monaco, and Nicola Buono (Retina.it). Born from a shared background in experimental techno under the name Le Officine Di Efesto, the three found themselves drawn toward something slower and more deliberate: the emotional directness of classic post-punk, minimal wave, and synth-driven pop. Sand Clock is the fullest expression of that devotion. Recorded in Rome and Pompeii in 2023, the album channels the melodic clarity and romantic tension of late-80s and early-90s darkwave while never losing the cool precision the trio carries from their electronic roots. Icy synthesizers curl around shuddering basslines; drum machines land with quiet authority; baritone vocals move between intimacy and quiet apocalypse. The result is music that breathes between the shadowed dance floor and solitary headphone listening—structured, emotionally exposed, and impossible to place in any single moment. This is not revivalism. It is the recognition that certain emotional territories were mapped but never fully inhabited—and a determination to go further in.
Kid Machine – You Cannot Be Programmed LP
“You Cannot Be Programmed” is an album focusing heavily within the EBM, New Beat areas with all of the usual Kid Machine touches.
VA – Clear 015 [CLEAR015]
Stop playing games and get your hands on this new 6-track Various Artists EP. From Electro-Wave in Dutch, to rolling synths in the club (anthem alert!), to Breakbeats that are hard to tame, to a contemporary version of the Moonlight Sonata, to a guided Tryp by Varum and Hayter’s freezing cold Fortune Four. What you want is what we got.
Protocol SysEx – Geometria Virtual [D91015]
“Geometria Virtual” documents a scenario in which mechanisms of control cease to function as external layers and instead become the very foundation of the system. The album does not propose a future dystopia, but rather a reality in which decision-making is automated and artificial intelligence is established as a structure of social control. Protocolo SysEx, a project by Fabio Vinuesa, is conceived as a narrative and sonic framework from which to examine the political and philosophical implications of a world governed by artificial intelligence. The release includes reinterpretations by Boris Divider and Heinrich Mueller and constitutes the first chapter of a trilogy focused on the progressive normalization of algorithmic control.
JSPRV35 – Transmission EP [ELECTRO003]
Amsterdam technomancer JSPRV35 pimps his spoilers and slams the accelerator, having overcome his identity transition and settling into regular ‘Transmission’ through Planet Rhythm. The new EP is great, occupying a frighteningly, urgently aggressive metal space, as we scrabble for a safe footing in which to dance between chattering gears, slamming pistons and free-flying swarf. Choice fave: ‘Endless’.
Psyché – Psyché II LP [FLIES81]
Nearly three years on from their self-titled debut, Psyché return with a new album that reinvigorates and expands their singular blend of groove and psychedelia. The band’s name itself—the ancient Greek word for ‘mind’ or ‘soul’—signals a deep-rooted love for psychedelic funk, while pointing towards a vast array of Mediterranean influences spanning Southern Europe, the Balkans, Anatolia, and the Maghreb. While their first record explored a mythical, timeless Mediterranean as a sort of ‘elsewhere’—reimagining ancient musical traditions through modern styles and sensibilities—Psyché II adds a subtle political dimension and shifts the focus toward a wider, more contemporary geography. Here, the Mediterranean becomes a modern lingua franca —a fluid bridge uniting diverse peoples, cultures, and musical legacies. In this vision, the band’s native Naples serves as a vibrant crossroads where sounds from North Africa and the Middle East meet the echoes of distant shores like Brazil and Colombia.
Fauna – Taiga Trans LP [GB183LP]
Taiga Trans, the debut album from Gothenburg-based group Fauna, is a hypnotic collision of krautrock propulsion, psychedelic ritual, and subterranean rave energy. The eight-piece Swedish outernational collective channels a multicultural, multidimensional sound that feels both deeply rooted and otherworldly. Think Goat’s feral mysticism, Can’s motorik drive, and a dancefloor at its most transcendental. Electronic textures whoosh like solar winds. Quiet percussion sighs and chatters. A jaw harp sets up a twanging bounce. An ancient saz introduces a taut riff. Suddenly a high-strung electric guitar scorches and a deep, booming bass groove drops with a four-to-the-floor kick drum thud.

Robert Hood – Psychic / Pole Position [MPM050]
2026 sees Robert Hood going back to his minimal techno roots and then flip things forward with remastered releases from his ground-breaking label, M-Plant. Robert Hood’s “Psychic / Pole Position” is a classic which features his stripped-back minimal techno style that helped define the sound in the late ’90s. Both tracks are built around hypnotic rhythms and sparse, precise grooves characteristic of Hood’s influential production ethos. Originally released in 1999, the EP reflects Hood’s focus on minimalist electronic structures and dance floor functionality, and has remained a sought-after piece among fans of the genre.
Mr. Fingers – Leev Ur Mynd LP [ML9020]
For over four decades Mr. Fingers has been shaping the core of House Music. Now he returns with a new album that continues this timeless journey through deep rhythms, soulful melodies, and immersive atmospheres. Crafted with the warmth and musicality that define him, the record blends deep house, jazz-infused harmonies, and subtle R&B textures. On ‘Leev Ur Mynd’ Mr. Fingers once again reminds us why his music remains essential: hypnotic grooves and heartfelt compositions. Not just music for the club, but also for the quiet spaces.
DJ Slush / Dretraxx – Signal Phase Decay [PREP02]
Polytechnic Recordings – sublabel of Disctechno Music – presents a split EP of jacking house and psychedelic rhythms from Detroit’s DJ Slush and Dretraxx. Label co-founder DJ Slush follows up his Model Collapse EP with 2 jacking, sleazy, 80’s-tinged house tracks with garbled vocal samples on A1 and B2. Dretraxx – head of Detroit’s acid-forward Body Worx party – delivers dubbed out modular grooves and on A2. On B1, Interdimensional Transmissions’ BMG remixes Dretraxx for the No Way Back Mix, with some freaky heart-pumping analog techno. Recommended for fans of Midwest rhythms.

The Wheel of Rituals – Contextual Devices and Systems [CM27]
The Wheel of Rituals, ‘Contextual Devices and Systems’ (2026). Concept and art by R.A. User. Digital audio, digital photography (and found footage), music composition, album, two-sided lathe cut recorded and riso print. Duration: 58 minutes (album), 10min 35s (lathe), 24 pages zine. This publication presents two modalities of archaeological inquiry: various items and material remnants salvaged from post-conflict landscape of northern France, and recontextualized digital captures extracted from contemporary popular media. Through processes of cut-up poetry, these temporal artifacts generate new intertextual configurations: audio graphics. The juxtaposition of geographical and media archaeologies functions as a literary methodology for examining conditions of contemporary culture – each fragment serving as contextual device within a speculative system of meaning.
Acid Synthesis – Infinite Cycles Of Acid [P303.06]
New Acid Synthesis bomb is here with 3 tracks of blistering 90’s strobe and smoke machine friendly Acid-Trance.
Marco Passarani – Continuum Episode 25
Analog 1 – Parallax EP [FE088]
J.S.Zeiter returns to Furthur Electronix after presenting the first release on the label back in 2017. A full circle moment as this EP continues where the previous one left off. Four Deep and well thought through Acid cuts that puncture the mind.
Silicon Scally & Fleck E.S.C. – Slip [CPU10000100]
Silicon Scally and Fleck E.S.C. need no introduction at this stage. Both artists are veterans not just of Sheffield’s Central Processing Unit label but of modern electro as a whole, with the pair having decades of skin in the game at this point. Their new release, a four-track EP entitled ‘Slip’ where Silicon Scally handles the first half and Fleck E.S.C. the second, carries itself with the adventurous confidence of a record made by masters of their craft.
