VA – Midwest Rhythms Vol. 3 [DMLP04]
Mark Grusane presents Midwest Rhythms Vol. 3 on Disctechno: a compilation of five stripped down, off-kilter house tracks from four producers out of Chicago and Detroit and one from Grusane himself. On the A side is a spaced out synth-laden Memory Blank from DJ Slush (aka Eric Schwab) and a pulsing, bass-heavy beatdown on AYYYO from Deon Jamar. The B side features Jordan Zawideh’s reverb-heavy drum machine & synth duet Axolotls, Mark Grusane’s pounding, in-your-face atonal track The Recoil, and finishes with Thomas Xu’s grooving arpeggios on School Street.

Eduardo Polonio – Obra electroacústica 1969-1981 [BUHR191]
Eduardo Polonio (1941–2024) was one of the foundational figures in the emergence and development of electroacoustic music in Spain. The anthology “Eduardo Polonio: Obra electroacústica 1969–1981” revives his legacy with a selection of essential pieces from his early electroacoustic period. The album includes eight compositions created between 1969 and 1981, spanning from Polonio’s early experiments at the Alea Electronic Music Laboratory in Madrid to his later work at the Phonos Laboratory in Barcelona. From the raw electronic textures of “Para una pequeña margarita ronca” (1969) to the timbral subtleties of “Flautas, voces, animales, pájaros…” (1981), this collection showcases Polonio’s artistic evolution and highlights different facets of his work as a composer and musician.

Machinete – Cost to Cost [CM25]
Comprised of raw recordings, spontaneously conducted between 2012 to 2020 in Venice and later in Milan, Machinete are Marco Segato (La Serpiente) and Pietro Giubilato (TLXCO) executing and modulating rough post-industrial beats into pummeling electro structures with a brute sense of nocturnal acid in the air which strives to bring power to its knees.
All revenues from this album will be donated to The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund (gascf.org). The fund provides medical assistance to children in critical need and supports the medical sector in Gaza and Lebanon.

VA – CPU128 Classics [CPU10000000]
Central Processing Unit releases have all been logged in an eight-bit binary numbering system ever since the Sheffield label arrived on the scene with Cygnus’ 2012 LP Newmark Phase. With 256 variations allowed for in the binary catalogue, CPU now hit the halfway point more than a dozen years into their run. In that time the imprint has grown into one of the most celebrated voices in contemporary electro, its monochrome sleeve design reaching iconic status and early releases trading for big money in certain circles. As such, CPU128 Classics serves as both a victory lap and a line in the sand, a survey of some of the highs in the imprint’s discography and a second chance for CPU aficionados to get their hands on out-of-print material.
VA – Constellations Vol. 2 [MTRON041]

Don Kashew – Bellows LP [STRD-XXI]
Don Kashew returns to Subject To Restrictions Discs with the album ‘Bellows’. A haunting, melodic, maudlin affair, as one would expect from the Zurich-based producer, with a variety of ‘breathing’ instruments as a fulcrum, that challenges any physicality. The compositions draw from the pool of New Age music and neo-folk of the 80s and 90s. But ‘Bellows’ stretches and looks at the future, deliberately blurring lines that were supposedly anchored. So, Don Kashew has begun a new phase in his musical expression; quivering, but grounded and interwoven in a rich arras of synth work and overlapping woodwind sounds.
