Shemale – Hell Transformation Screens [TRAJECTORY1007]
Astounding new material beamed via Shemale’s Atomic Allotment, concealed in an outermost shadowy recess of darkest Hyperborea. The musical paintbrush creates a harsh, barren landscape for ‘Hell Transformation Screens’, as deeply brooding electro and dramatic synthesisers propel each musical journey in its own unique style.
VA – Uncanny Valley Ltd 01 [UNCANNYLTD001]
Uncanny Valley Records is dropping a limited exclusive 12″ EP with tracks by Mayan Gold, One Day In Metropia, Selfcontained and Echology.
Momentform – Momentform [WT007]
Wt Records takes another expected turn by releasing a mini LP of new wave tracks from Momentform. The first track, ‘Momentform is Fake,’ spans the gap between new wave and house with 707 rhythmic patterns and raw, unedited bass lines. ‘Selected Works’ with its melancholic vocals and juno arpeggio has a way of finding its way into your brain and staying there. 6 tracks of excellent melodies and melancholy angst make this a great record for listening from start to finish.
Bakterielle Infektion – In Grief [GEN035]
Horrid Red – Celestial Joy LP [HOL044]
Celestial Joy has been recorded by Edmund Xavier at Video West in San Francisco in occasion of Horrid Red first West Coast tour and first ever live appearances. As from the title, Celestial Joy is a step away from the depressive synth punk of their first releases. Instead, there is some sort of light cleaved through this album, though only a weak light can filter to the depth of the dark environment we are moving in. The recording session saw the newly established core trio of Edmund Xavier, Bunker Wolf and Clay Ruby (Burial Hex) in charge, with further assistance by Nathaniel Ritter, Tim Berresheim, Carly Flies, Catholic Pat and Christine Boepple.

Two Dogs In A House – Dogs Anthem [DISCOSTRES]
Two Dogs In A House is Steve Summers and Ron Morelli (L.I.E.S) meanest project to date. Rising from the delay saturated muck, pushing the red, straight forward and to the point with no time to waste, these Brooklyn dogs started with a simple modus operandi as to make effective, psychedelic tracks. This 12” is an statement by itself, sounding more experimental and raw, it evokes Chicago, Detroit, and Industrial Records equally.
VA – Introducing Icon Of Desire [IOD001]
The first release on Icon Of Desire, a multidimensional journey through emptiness, frustration, compassion, relief, elevation. Tracks from Annie Hall, passEnger, Louis Haiman and Furthr.
Hadamard – The Jupiter Cycle Part 2: Jupiter Lucetius [TRAJECTORY2019]
‘Emergent Behaviour’ is what one might determine the calm before the storm, as we dive into the second instalment of ‘The Jupiter Cycle’, as the drifting ambience and somewhat ominous synths proceed ‘Abstract Thought’, itself a stubborn barrage of hardened electro beats, rigid stabs, crystalizing and melding into an explosive mayhem and of course, ‘The Ghost in the Machine’, if anything a more traditional styled, yet irresistible electro hit. ‘The Deep’ showcases Hadamard in a distinctly experimental mode, where all the fine details are tuned to perfection for maximum atmosphere. Finally, drifting into ‘The Collective’ and ‘Satellite Swarm’, both gliding onwards and ever deeper into pure ambience, the latter closing piece eloquently preparing the audio stratosphere for the next chapter in The Jupiter Cycle…
Hadamard – The Jupiter Cycle Part 1: Jupiter Summanus [TRAJECTORY1019]
The first phase in the breath-taking new musical project from Hadamard. As we enter Hadamard’s universe of ‘The Jupiter Cycle’, we hear a synthesis of straight-up electro coalesce with spellbinding ambient and experimental futurism, to create an overall Bladerunner-esque environment.
Morphology – Nucleosynthesis EP [AC008]
The new Nucleosynthesis Ep from the finnish Duo Morphology shows the classic future sound of electro. A1 and A2 are two dark, atmospheric tracks with lots of analogue power. The tracks on B-side combines spacy and melodic sequences with the fine drum-programming.
Hieroglyphic Being – Cosmo Rhythmatic [MFMCD018]

John Heckle – Hard Sleeper / Ancient Deep [SIG.MMXI.IV]
From the Signals imprint in the North of England comes two suitably rough and tough cuts of British house/techno from Liverpool wunderkind John Heckle. This is how techno and house should be made! Machine driven; raw, moody with heart and soul.
DJ Sotofett – Acido Records Presents DJ Sotofett [ACIDO009]
Selected by Acido Records’ Dynamo Dreesen, five tracks feat. the talents of Bjørn Torske, Sensational and Tim ”Love” Lee all remixed and prod. by DJ Sotofett. In the times of cheap loops this 12” purifyes the old school dee-jay attitude with the coherent limitations of record jugling, remixing, archive digging and intuitive live studio recordings.

Ben Sun – Path of Non-attachment [VR007]
A return to VR from Ben Sun, who delves into deeper territory on the original cut; emotive analogue synths washing over a roland drum groove and a swirling female vocal, all underpinned by a warm, rumbling bassline. The flipside features some heavyweight remix work from the prolific Deep Space Orchestra (Use Of Weapons, ART, Delusions Of Grandeur) and label mate Tyson Ballard teaming up with Vincenzo (Poker Flat, Dessous). Vincenzo and Ballard’s mix is a heavy hitting, moody take on the original, with subtle, dark strings and a growling, evolving bassline, while DSO round off the release with trademark fat drums and soaring melodic synth work.
