Mr. Ho – Team Player [CABARET041]

April 1, 2026March 31, 2026 hipodromecabaret recordings, house, michael ho, mr. ho, technoLeave a comment

Berlin banger bringer and Klasse Wrecks co-boss Mr. Ho distils the restless, genre-fluid instincts that have defined both his DJ sets and his label output, having always served a bridge between Hong Kong and European underground scenes. Here the sense is of new, buzzing frontiers: ‘Tight’ and ‘Unfazed’ move stripped and kinetic, with melodic, avian, high-register synths and playful clave taps. Psy energies come checked off on ‘Maybe Not’ and ‘Take Flight’ meanwhile, the latter closing out somewhere between goa, EBM, and acid.

Mark Stillwell – In The Long Run LP [GRTW021]

March 31, 2026March 31, 2026 hipodromealbum, eletro, gravitational waves, mark stillwellLeave a comment

Mark Stillwell is an electro producer from Sydney (AUS). Inspired by the new generation of electro producers, his gear speaks for itself: 808, 606, Monopoly, Polysix, Juno 60, lot of pedals and creativity. His release adds something important to the Gravitational Waves catalogue: dense, dramatic, influenced by 80’s European wave but blending an US electro feeling. A release inspired by cyberhospitals, eagles, revenges, wicked murderers using phone lines to kill, redemption but with a straight and loyal way. Telling the story of a man who hates this world, passing days in his bedroom to make music. The use of atonal and dissonant arpeggios, the tone changes, the robotic voices and this sense of oppression, anxiety and loneliness are all part of the crazy world of Mark. A vision that it’s like a mirror of the world we are living on.

The Spy – In Line LP [OR152]

In just five years, The Spy has gone from underground newcomer to one of the most talked-about names in the European electro and EBM dark electro scene. Now landing on Oráculo Records, he presents his most wave-driven and club-oriented material to date: pure, physical electro built for dark rooms and late hours. Driving basslines and sharp machine rhythms—infused with subtle, classic post-punk tension—define a sound that connects the dancefloor with the shadows. This is music made to move bodies without sacrificing attitude—raw, confrontational, and far removed from formulaic club clichés. Five years in, the message is clear: this is not hype, but momentum—an artist fully in command of a modern electro language built for the underground.

Body System – World Of Lies [OR153]

March 30, 2026March 30, 2026 hipodromebody system, ebm, oraculo records, techno, vegoLeave a comment

The origins of Body System date back around 35 years. Dissatisfied with previous experiences, the project was conceived as a meeting point between Sheffield and Detroit techno and German and Belgian body music. At the time, it never fully developed and remained largely an idea, with only a few sketches recorded on DAT. More than three decades later, that original concept has been revived. Following an invitation to contribute the track In Your Mind to the soundtrack of Electronic Body Movie, directed by Pietro Anton, the project was reopened and reworked, taking shape in the present while remaining rooted in its initial vision. These five tracks reflect an awareness of both past and contemporary electronic music, filtered through an undiminished experimental approach and a conscious refusal to adhere to stylistic conventions or predefined genres.

“Música Para Caminar” is the new album by 80%Baul, and the record that confirms his definitive leap from revelation to legend. Rooted in a dark, introspective sensibility, Música Para Caminar also connects seamlessly with the vitality of today’s Spanish underground. Once again, 80%Baul surprises with songs that function as poems – bleak, incisive reflections on a decaying, dystopian present. More than music, Música Para Caminar is a statement: music with intention, depth, and meaning – an artistic vision that transcends genre and cements 80%Baul as one of the essential voices of contemporary Spanish post-punk.

Following “The Red Pill” and “Suicide Neighborhood”, VHS Horror Tape marks the next chapter in the sonic universe of Dutch synthwave wizard Adam Tristar. The album expands on his signature sound with darker tones, gritty analog textures, and a strong cinematic horror influence, evoking late-night VHS aesthetics, neon-lit nightmares, and retro-futuristic suspense. It’s a haunting journey that blends nostalgia with menace, pushing his synthwave style into deeper, more ominous territory.

“II” is the second album by Californian post-punk heroes Alone in My Room. Continuing their exploration of isolation and urban tension, the band sharpens their stark, stripped-down sound, blending cold-wave severity with lo-fi intimacy. Pulsed basslines, detached vocals, and raw, close-mic’d production create an atmosphere that feels oppressive yet deeply personal. Following their 2020 debut Alone in My Room—a claustrophobic, late-night statement—the band pushes further into darker, more confrontational territory, solidifying their place in modern underground post-punk scene.

Enrico Rava’s second solo record, recorded in Milan in January 1973 and released on the German BASF label, is nothing less than a cornerstone of Italian jazz-rock. The lineup is killer: John Abercrombie on guitar, Bruce Johnson on bass, Chip White on drums. Four musicians operating at the absolute peak of early seventies fusion energy – electric, cosmopolitan, burning with that particular fire that only existed in that brief window when jazz met rock and nobody knew the rules yet. Abercrombie, already on his way to becoming one of the most distinctive voices in electric jazz guitar, delivers some of his most ferocious early work here. White’s drumming is relentless, pushing the music forward with an intensity that never lets up.

Shed – Applications II [IT077]

March 28, 2026March 26, 2026 hipodromeilian tape, rené pawlowitz, shed, technoLeave a comment

Two powerhouses of the techno underground collide here as Frankfurt-born beatmaker Shed and Munich’s faultless Illian Tape drop a literally and metaphorically heavyweight slab of wax. Opener ‘EFX’ fizzed with signature Shed loops that are rusty and deceptively simple as they build a vibe over jostling drums. ‘Ball’ has even more caustic textures and loops that just about hang together, though they seem like they could fall apart at any moment. ‘Worn’ takes off with a more cosmic feel, the speedy drums and bass rumbling down low as static-charged synths skit about up top. ‘Cross’ has a more late-night and introverted feel with rare melody bringing the emotional depth.

Transcendental Amor Organization – TAO [MOMXX03]

TAO (Transcendental Amor Organization) appears with a five-track EP for Modern Obscure Music’s Trip-Vapor-Club Focus Series. Drawing from techno and electro without committing to their functional codes, the EP explores rhythm as texture and acidic repetition as inquiry. Pulses are skeletal, surfaces are unstable, and melodic fragments emerge only to dissolve back into noise and space. The tracks suggest movement without instruction, privileging sensation over utility. Minimal in format yet dense in implication, the EP positions the dancefloor as a speculative zone-sound designed as much for close listening as for physical immersion.

Federsen’s “Deep Sequence EP” is a dub‑soaked late‑night weapon: smoked‑out chords, hypnotic subs and stripped drums rolling like fog on a concrete floor. Four cuts to zone out or lock in the mix, built for selectors who like it subtle, warm and seriously deep.

Sole Aspect #9 returns with the second part of its Sole Discretion series and this one goes deeper into the club while expanding on the textured, late-night energy of its predecessor. Dubbyman opens with widescreen deep house on ‘Always In & Out’ which wraps Aki Dawson’s hypnotic Chi-town vocals in slow-burning warmth. The Windy City’s Specter follows with a warm, weighty beatdown rooted in the US Mid West before Boo Williams turns up the heat with rolling basslines and his signature rhythmic deftness, backed with a subtle cosmic glow. Taelue closes the set with ‘Interplanetary’ which is a raw, futuristic cut that drifts into spacey territory and, along with the other cuts, is a sharp reminder that Chicago house’s future is in good hands.

The fourth chapter in the daring Xtrictly Elektro saga once again pushes the boundaries of the genre. Volume 4 delivers six powerful cuts that move from timeless electro foundations to futuristic, experimental territories — achieving a perfect balance between precision and raw energy. This release brings together familiar faces — Parand, ElektroTechnik, EC13, and X-Truder — alongside two new additions: Roi, a DJ and producer recognized for his sharp, detail-driven sound and modern take on electro; and DJ Overdose, the veteran force of Dutch electro. A tight and cohesive mini-LP that embraces diversity while remaining faithful to the spirit of electro: sharp rhythms, dark atmospheres, and pure machine funk.
