Ian Martin – Stargate [M015]
A schizophrenic space-techno 3 tracker by Ian Martin on the dirty brown Murder Capital. A sonic wormhole vortex that you can’t escape.
En Direct – No More Spectacles [OR161]
En Direct presents “No More Spectacles”, the fourth release from one of the finest electro EBM projects worldwide. With this new work, En Direct leans further into a sharper and more emotionally charged EBM sound while making clear they do not renounce their roots as the driving force behind the influential electro imprint Clear Memory. The record is infused with strong post-punk overtones, somewhere between the cold intensity of classic body music and the melancholic tension of post-punk reimagined through EBM structures. No More Spectacles delivers a sound that feels both immediate and deeply atmospheric. Drill-like kicks hammer through the mix while distorted basslines split the tracks wide open, locking into martial and commanding vocal lines that push the energy forward with relentless precision. Mechanical yet deeply human, the record balances darkness, groove, and emotional weight with remarkable control. Built for strobe-lit floors and restless bodies, “No More Spectacles” confirms En Direct as masters of a sound where post- punk sensibility and EBM functionality collide at full force.
Opéra de Nuit – Opéra de Nuit LP [DE-360]
Opéra de Nuit emerge from their long slumber to grace Dark Entries with the frostiest of reissues. Formed in 1982 in Valréas in the southeast of France, Opéra de Nuit only released 3 records throughout their career: EPs in 1984 and 1986, with a full LP following in 1988. But devotees of dark music will need no introduction to this band, who are almost definitional of the coldwave genre, and whose rabid cult following has each record readily trading for three-digit prices. Opéra de Nuit’s sound is pure hellish heaven: frigid synths, jangly guitars, and sorrow-laden vox. Check out the pummelling desperation of “Annabella,” the uber-brooding vibes of “Boris Transylvania Camp,” or the elegant anthem “Karen Lloyd” (and don’t forget to watch the video!). This reissue collects their entire newly remastered discography – thirteen lucky tracks. This reissue marks the first time that their work will be reissued on vinyl and digital, and is presented in gatefold jacket with lyrics and photos. Whether you’re new to the genre or a veteran of the coldest waves, Opéra de Nuit brings the essential sound of immortal despair.
VA – Endangered Species Vol. 2 LP [DE-342]
In their countless years of deep digging, Dark Entries has uncovered many curiosities, oddball Italo and synth-wave creatures too rare to live, too funky to die. Dark Entries’s conservationist efforts began with 2020’s Endangered Species Vol 1. Six years later, we are finally treated Endangered Species Vol 2, an even more ambitious effort which features eleven specimens previously deemed extinct, now safely preserved on vinyl. Things kick off with an extended mix of Palazzo di Danza’s “Play That Song For Me,” a lavishly produced German-Italo number propelled by a slinky bassline. Russian Olga Vosconyan’s “Cars” delivers what might be the moodiest song ever produced for a car commercial. Fuzz Dance maestro Alexander Robotnick appears with a previously unreleased male vocal demo version of “I Wanna Believe,” a legendary track that would later appear under the name Gina & the Flexix. Canadian industrial royalty Dwayne R. Goettel (Psyche) and cEvin Key (Skinny Puppy) team up on the horror-sampling hit-heavy blaster “Bastards.” Belgian EBM progenitors à;GRUMH… report for duty with a slab of machine funk on “The Army.” UK DIY stalwarts Khmer Rouge bring Krautrock-inflected minimalism with “Take Me (Across the Floor Tonight) In Dub.”
Black Meteoric Star – Wet LP [DE-339]
‘Wet’ is the fifth full length album by Black Meteoric Star and the 10th release. Black Meteoric Star is a project Rayna started in 2006 when she was living in Berlin that brought together her life long love of dance music culture with spiritual themes, drag, and her formative experiences of S/M culture Black Meteoric Star has always had an avenger quality in Rayna’s life and creative work, and this iteration plays that role in response to the current political landscape. Wet celebrates the long standing shared history of electronic music and queer leather/SM culture and imagines a future where these two cultural expressions are re-connected.

VA – Made by Humans [GOTT21]
‘Made By Humans’ is a new compilation by Wie Ein Gott Records, bringing together a selection of the label’s favorite contemporary underground artists. Set in a not-so-distant future, music creation has become heavily automated. Algorithms compose, mix, and master tracks with surgical precision, gradually sidelining human creators. Over time, people are no longer seen as contributors but as inefficiencies, until they are removed from the process altogether. The tipping point comes when a Nobel Prize is awarded to an entity CPK1310-5L for discovering a mathematical model nicknamed God’s Formula: a set of harmonic ratios and progression templates capable of generating the “perfect” song. With it, machines begin spawning infinite near-perfect variations across all known genres, optimally structured, flawlessly balanced. Amid this sterile sonic landscape, a new music movement emerges. Rooted in imperfection, accidents and emotional intensity, qualities machines discard as noise, it refuses to conform. This music stutters, distorts, bleeds. To bypass the algorithmic gatekeepers, it’s shared through HUMDRM, an anti-DRM encryption system accessible only to biological listeners, unlocked using heartbeat verification. These tracks are marked as “Made by Humans.” Rare and difficult to trace, these sonic artefacts ripple through the underground until they begin taking over dim basements and industrial warehouses across the world. Featuring contributions by Pink Stiletto, Brood Faye, Sleek Teeth, Desolate Discotheque, Blood Handsome, Fuedal, Blood Rave, Abby Knives & Manuel Matarasso, Dildox, Healng, Static Ghost, Temptrix, Inhalt, GOD TONGUE and Leere Menge, the compilation captures a raw spectrum of industrial EBM, dark disco, rave and post-club experimentation shaped by human volatility rather than machine perfection.
Parissior – Human Control LP [ECV002]
‘Human Control’ presents a broader sonic vision of Parissior, moving between EBM, dark disco, indie dance and electronic music while blending analog and digital production. The album brings together tracks that originally didn’t belong to previous EPs but eventually formed a coherent narrative exploring themes such as digital identity, illusion, authenticity and human imperfection. From the sense of social pursuit in “The Chase”, to reflections on artificial validation in “True Connection” and “Smoke and Mirrors”, the record balances introspection with dancefloor energy. The album also includes “Sintes Guarros” featuring Size M, and two additional digital-only tracks, expanding the project beyond the physical format. Human Control ultimately works as a sonic map connecting machines, emotion and underground culture.
Orus Boris – Wavebreaker LP [OR163]
“Wavebreaker” is a magnificent post-punk and minimal wave album originally self-released in 2024 by Orus Boris — a brilliant work that unquestionably deserved a proper vinyl edition for both its musical depth and outstanding technical quality. Built around a truly exceptional production, “Wavebreaker” moves in line with the finest contemporary wave sounds while constantly expanding its own universe. The album never feels nostalgic or predictable. Instead, it reshapes its influences into something fluid, sharp, and deeply personal, refusing to remain confined to a single language. Alongside its minimal wave foundations, the record introduces subtle incursions into darker electronic territories such as dark electro aesthetics, making each track feel unexpected and constantly evolving. Melancholy collides with tension, elegance with aggression, precision with emotional weight. The result is an immersive and surprising listening experience from beginning to end—a remarkable work that confirms Orus Boris as one of the most exciting and essential voices to follow within the new wave underground.
NNHMN – Opera of Lust & The Art of Sorrow II EP [KDR]
“Opera of Lust & the Art of Sorrow II” is an intoxicating opera of longing and loss, where baroque shadows dance with modern electronic melancholy. This EP takes you deep into a world of cinematic soundscapes, a haunting symphony of desire and despair, hypnotic rhythms, and ethereal vocals. Blending darkwave and gothic electronic elements, it unfolds like a forgotten opera—sensual, melancholic, and strangely tragic.
