40 years after its creation, Moß Garten – Sekvensstyrd 1981–1986 arrives as a compelling double vinyl LP, diving deep into the early Swedish DIY electronic scene. Inspired by pioneers such as Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire, John Foxx, and The Human League, Mikael Isaksson developed a distinct sound situated between minimal electronics, industrial, synth wave, and experimental sound art. At its core was the sequencer: pulsing, programmed structures forming the backbone of dense, often hypnotic compositions. Working initially with his cousin Jan or friend Thomas and later evolving into a largely one-man project, recordings were made on cassette tapes and in improvised studios—often under time pressure, frequently recorded and mixed within just a few hours. These very limitations gave the tracks their raw and immediate character. Using an arsenal of analog synthesizers, early sequencers, and drum machines, the project created music that feels at once cold, mechanical, and deeply emotional. Sekvenssytrd 1981–1986 is more than a collection of archival recordings – it is a vivid document of a time when electronic music was conceived as a radical and deeply personal form of expression.
‘In a Secret Room’ is a retrospective that reopens the sonic and visual archive of KKD (Kriminal Killers Division composed by Loris Barbi, Alessandro Molinari, Guido Molinari, Giancarlo Vitali), bringing back to light a trajectory that long remained underground within the history of Italian new wave. The tracks, recorded between 1979 and 1986, reflect a constantly evolving process shaped by experimentation, improvisation, and a drive toward new languages. The project takes shape inside a former hotel in Italy’s Po Valley, transformed into a studio, rehearsal space, and visual lab. Here, among analog synthesizers, homemade electronics, and multitrack recorders, Kriminal Killer Division experimented with and pushed their available technology to its limits, developing a hybrid language: sounds captured from radio and the street, synthetic voices, guitars, and electronic sequences intertwine in compositions that move between art rock, minimal wave, and more industrial directions. This collection aims precisely to reactivate that imaginary. ‘In a Secret Room’ offers access to a hidden space where interference, noise, and intuition take form without mediation. Not a nostalgic operation, but a re-emergence: a living archive that continues to generate meaning in the present.
Anluminiu is the new project of Silent Strike, a Romanian electronic and film music composer.
STL’s music has always been free and imperfect – sketches rather than songs. He operates in a smoky and smoggy world somewhere between house, lo-fi, dub and ambient and his tracks always arrive fully formed, as if they are looping infinitely in some parallel dimension. ‘Take Me To Your Leader’ is another magnificent collection of all that, with sublime extended psychedelic workouts that range from the wonky, malfunctioning sounds of ‘M-Brainiac’ which is like the machines have taken over then realised they can’t cope, to the more cuddly and soft-edged but still ramshackle rhythms of ‘Fat Sunday’ which are as heady as can be. Brilliantly dusty and analogue as ever.
Across eight carefully selected slices of starry-eyed machine soul, Cold Blow presents an exquisite tour through backroom techno and downtempo electro. With a focus on thematic flow and an immersive listening experience, the London-based label explores works from leading lights of the 1990s and previously unreleased cuts that celebrate the human heart that can be discovered in synthetic sound practices.
New Zealand’s Eden Burns returns to Big Beat Manifesto, a series that has quietly become one of underground house music’s more reliable homes. Burns remains as prolific as ever, and these five tracks continue his knack for balancing club functionality with just enough oddness to keep things interesting. ‘Loop Of Trust’ opens in a haze of atmosphere before a broken rhythm emerges beneath it, then ‘Direction’ locks into a taut groove built from immaculate drums and very little excess. Over on the flip, ‘Time’ is the most direct of the bunch, driven by snappy percussion and rolling low-end pressure. ‘Razor’ lightens the mood through a playful melodic refrain before ‘Telephone Terror’ closes with clipped drums and dubbed-out effects. Another very strong entry from a producer who rarely misses.
To honor one of the most legendary figures in dance music history, here is the official Ron Hardy tee – a tribute to the fearless pioneer of Chicago’s underground sound, the wild spirit of the Music Box. Known for his raw edits, relentless energy, and boundary-pushing sets, he reshaped club culture and inspired generations of DJs and dancers. This release includes two monstruous tracks straight from the basement.
With Agenda EP, Tom Carruthers closes a landmark trilogy on Skylax Records, following Neutralise EP and Deepline. Three records. Fifteen tracks. One coherent vision of machine-driven house music stripped to its raw, functional core. This final chapter dives deeper into direct, club-focused energy, where groove, repetition and tension do the talking. Agenda is less reflective, more physical — built for movement, sweat, and long transitions in dark rooms.
E&S Cooperation is a collaborative project created by Serasso and Aleksander Erdmann, two artists whose paths have crossed for years through a shared passion for underground electronic music and their involvement in the BDGtroit movement. Rooted in the spirit of classic Chicago House and Detroit House, E&S Cooperation is a return to the essence of dance music — raw grooves, timeless rhythms, analog synthesizers and genuine emotion. After years of friendship, mutual inspiration and countless conversations about music, the duo finally joined forces to create a project that reflects their shared vision. Their debut release, Alliance EP, marks the beginning of this journey and serves as the opening chapter of Pure Essence Raw – a new independent imprint founded to celebrate authenticity, artistic freedom and music created without compromise to trends.
Dutch producer Frits Wentink returns to Clone Royal Oak with a set of heavy-grooving modern house cuts. Road-tested during a recent Royal Oak label night, these tracks stood out immediately as essential selections for release. A versatile collection of bassline-driven club tracks, unmistakably stamped with Frits Wentink’s pristine signature sound… and Clone Royal Oak approved.
Supreme Striker returns with its second release confirming the label’s direction: uncompromising underground music built on culture, not trends. The new chapter comes from Italian producer John De La Noise, delivering a powerful and deeply authentic EP entirely co-produced by Michele Lamacchia.
Dario Rossi approaches electronic music like few others. His work as a percussionist has brought his unique rhythmic abilities to audiences around the globe. Born in Italy, Rossi combined percussion with samplers and synthesizers. His energy and talent have allowed these machines to be incorporated into his distinctive palette with very special results. 07Sep83 is his Bordello debut, with the title piece opening the four tracker. Beats cascade as analogue warmth laps the shore. Slow with a magnetic groove, elements of italo, wave and synth-pop intertwine to create a clean, bright sound that is at once familiar and totally unique. Vocals arrive with “We’ll Meet Again.” Tempos rise while keys are emboldened by rich guitar strings. Lyrics counter with a melancholic tone that shifts into hope and fortified belief as melodies rise ever higher. The flip is “Lost.” Sharp drum patterns support notes that hark back to the majesty of Bobby O, the live sax by Augusto Pallocca and disco glory combining in this journey through genres. “Beat the Devil” closes. Sizzling from the outset, snares roll and snap. Rossi’s percussive prowess is on full display as synthlines flow over rhythmic ripples to the subtle and soulful strings that bring down the curtain.
For thirty years, Alden Tyrell has been at the forefront of electronic music. This analogue alchemist has concocted heady grooves that transmute genres: acid, disco, electro, house, italo and techno; no style left unturned. Under his Tyrell Corporation moniker, he returns to the Bordello with a sound forged for dancefloors. Midnight Machines is a warm embrace that melts electro‑disco with star‑gazing synthlines. “Midnight Machines Pt. 1” balances robust melodies and incising snares with soulful undercurrents and joyous breaks. Past energies are re‑channelled. Arpeggiators rumble as beats throb. Beneath it all, there is a greater consideration of the interplay of elements. This focus pulsates through speaker cones on the needle‑drop of “Love in Decay.” Elated key changes and bright shifts are tempered by bittersweet moments, early‑morning light piercing fresh mists of grey. Tempos rise on the flip with “Midnight Machines Pt. 2.” Sci‑fi‑scored disco lifts ever higher as scaling notes untether themselves from the floor and soar above vibrant rhythms. Coy and alluring, the bright “Romance Obscura” closes the record. Cowbells and bending wavelengths open into an expansive, intoxicating melody where keys search the horizon as arms fold around celestial bodies.
Slow Motion’s own Franz Scala adds to his impressive collection of edits with a vibrant rework of XS5’s “I Need More.” His signature robust percussion ties everything together, with chest hitting snares and expansive atmospherics. Scala’s gift for immersing listeners in the energy of the dancefloor is on full display, skillfully building anticipation for key elements of the original track while allowing the vocal hooks to resonate. Scala lowers the tempo and maintains a fierce low end, creating room for dynamics to flourish. This Portuguese 1988 gem receives his revered and respectful treatment, making it a noteworthy addition to his mighty catalogue.
Vivod presents ‘Southview Community Center’ EP from Cestrian. The release features five essential tracks pressed to vinyl, with all eight tracks available digitally. A collection of dystopian electro workouts designed to clear the mind, fuel the imagination, and offer just the faintest glimmer of hope—though not too much. Dark, driving, and unmistakably Cestrian, this is a soundtrack for uncertain times.
Hungarian based CT Kidobó debuts on Rotterdam Electronix with ”Life of Crime” EP, a functional and highly effective 4 tracker inspired the French Electro sound.
With skynet T.6, the time has come for Robotron to expand the network of Skynet Cybersonix. From the signal zones emerges Dopplereffekt – with a conceptual transmission between time-fields, entropic resonance, and asymptotic states – entitled ‘Eonfield’.
New Flesh Records returns with its 34th release, bringing together two long-time affiliates: Boris Divider and label mastermind Umwelt. On the A-side, Boris Divider delivers “A New God”, a hypnotic slice of stripped-back electro built around his signature robotic vocoder work and a tightly coiled arpeggiated loop that borders on obsession. Umwelt’s remix sharpens the edges, injecting a cold, metallic sheen that amplifies its physicality, engineered for peak-time impact without sacrificing the original tension. Flip to the B-side and Umwelt steps forward with “Digital Ruins”, a dystopian song that thrives on contrast: powerful, driving rhythms collide with soaring, almost melancholic synthwave textures, giving the track its emotional charge. Boris Divider’s reinterpretation leans further into austerity, reinforcing the rhythmic framework while steering the piece into colder, more abstract territory that privileges atmosphere and textural nuance over immediacy, yet remaining firmly anchored in his established sonic identity.
