Neurovision is a new Icelandic electro supergroup that channels the coldness of their homeland into these icy and futuristic new cuts on Helena Hauff’s Return to Disorder, all with hints of masters of the form like Dopplereffekt. ‘Driving To Burgertown’ begins with a whirring of machine madness, squelchy lines, trippy melodic cascades and snappy drum breaks. ‘Animal Flow’ then layers up sheet metal textures with dark and dehumanised vocals to make for a gritty post-punk vibe. ‘Lunar Cycling’ has a happier energy thanks to the crystalline arps up top and the snappier, surging kicks. Last of all is ‘Neurolab,’ a Kraftwerkian style banger laced up with layers of busy synth progressions.

Hiss Is Bliss returns to Modern Hypnosis with a solo 12” featuring his masterful techniques in forging dub techno and house music across three tracks. The mysterious French producer maintains a refreshing low profile, allowing the music to do the heavy lifting.

Zorlok Compressor is a new project from Legowelt. Forged from dark wave rave – acidhall – dubstep (not the drop-bro EDM trash), electro – oldschool jungle – digidub – bass and whatever flies with that. Pushing the sound back into underground territories with a raw live energy. No mundane safe humdrum wallpaper club music or overproduced clean perfect stereo plastic sound but stuff to create temporal rifts in time & space on your dancefloor and in your mind. These songs mostly started from the more intense later zones of Legowelt’s live performances — though these often start with ‘lighter’ electro, Italo disco, techno, acid pieces etc. it often flows into the sound of Zorlok Compressor.
The second volume of Elementa Obscura moves with even greater force toward the dancefloor: six tracks straddling the lines between industrial, electro, and wave.

Spanish newcomer Thai Lady Boy brings chaos with a fractured industrial techno cut, while RNXRX closes with a ritualistic music excursion.
