TV.OUT – Closer [SOIL032]
With Closer, TV.OUT deliver four tracks of sharp, elegant electro made for the dancefloor. It’s the kind of record that moves bodies without shouting — precise, deep, and full of character.
Plant43 – Feeding The Machines LP [PLANT43016LP]
UK electro wizard Plant43 marks his 20th year in the game in the only way he knows how: with another wonderful album, his 10th overall. It comes on his own now five year strong Plant43 Recordings. ‘Feeding The Machines’ is full of signature excellence, from the lithe rhythms of ‘Information Decay’ to the jittery drums and introspective chords of ‘Anthropomorphic Algorithms’ via the dark, hurried urgency of the paranoid ‘Absolute Inertia’. This is another long player that is as adventurous as it is emotive and cinematic.
Sound Synthesis – The End LP [ORBITAL110]
Here it is.. the final chapter from Orbital Mechanics. Founded by Sound Synthesis and JDSK back in 2021 and what a journey it has been. To finish in a nice way the 10th and final chapter is a double 12″. Transmission out…The End

Each track is the result of a deep exchange of words, sounds, and emotions. The record dialogues between genres such as Synthwave, New Beat, Electro and Techno, exploring sampling, mysterious melodies, high-energy arpeggios, and a nostalgic sensitivity. The EP closes with a remix by Dani Labb, who true to his style, managed to give it a fresh twist without losing its essence.

Joey Beltram – Classics LP [RS96100]
Few producers have had the same seismic impact on techno and rave music as Joey Beltram. Hailing from Queens, New York, Beltram was a key architect of the early ’90s rave explosion and responsible for some of the most influential electronic records of the era – and it was Belgium’s R&S Records that gave many of these tracks their first home. Originally compiled and released by R&S in 1996, Classics brings together the core of Beltram’s groundbreaking early output – namely the Beltram Vol. 1 (1990) and Beltram Vol. 2 (1991) EPs, alongside the legendary Second Phase productions ‘Mentasm’ and ‘Mind To Mind’ (1991), plus a selection of aliases and collaborative work from the same period, including tracks under Mental Mayhem, Open Mind, and Disorder. Now remastered and reissued as a 2LP, Classics is available on vinyl for the first time since 2006, offering a long overdue opportunity to own these timeless cuts in their purest form. Across the 13 tracks, you’ll hear the sheer force and innovation that made Beltram a household name in underground techno.
Max Schreiber – Variations on Memory Vol. 2 [DM11]
Max Schreiber is the more introspective guise of Mule Driver, reserved for drifting into fragile and haunted sonic territories. Variations on Memory Vol.2 deepens Schreiber’s exploration of collective sound and personal distortion. This time, fragments of lullabies and children’s songs resurface along side memorial songs – distorted by time, memory, and a quiet sense of unease. Schreiber treats these melodies not as sacred relics, but as raw material: vulnerable to noise, decay, and reinterpretation. Recorded in intuitive, often single-take sessions, the album challenges the listener’s sense of nostalgia. Sentimentality collapses into abstraction, and familiar tunes unravel into drifting soundscapes – like half-remembered scenes from a film that never existed. Variations on Memory Vol. 2 is less about what these songs once meant, and more about what they might conceal.

VA – Red Laser Records LP [RL50]

Marking this half century milestone, their in-house graphics team have been on a strict diet of kryptonite and engine oil, conjuring up one of the most lavish (and budget destroying) gatefold sleeves to date; alongside personal insights (and an in-depth cigar review) on their 13 year journey from label heads Il Bosco and Pharaoh Brunson.
