Two originals from the enigmatic producer pdqb: An übergroovy and supernatural disco track that could easily be the brainchild of Claudio Simonetti and John Carpenter, followed by a dark and dystopian technoid dancescape. On the flipside Danny Wolfers chips in 2 outlandish electro-eargasm Legowelt remixes.
Dalmata Daniel releases Redate IV, the latest chapter from synth jam mastermind J. Mono’s series of archival gems.

Over 25 years ago DJ Maaco and P Dog aka Detroit In Effect released the mean green “Only Time Can Stop A Dream” EP on their M.A.P. label. Tracks like “313 Frequency” and “Sike Yo Mind”, just to name a couple, banged dance floors from Detroit to Europe. Now with new generations of music lovers almost three decades later catching on to sounds some would now consider vintage, we feel it’s only right to pull out some throwbacks and make them available again. So here’s to old and new, the reissue of Detroit In Effect – Only Time Can Stop A Dream.
We start presenting our favorite tracks from 2024. More or less in a chronological order we present here the fourth set of tracks.
TLXCO’s music is rough, pure, imprecise and spontaneous. A lover of analogue jams, bizarre electro rhythms and underground club culture, Pietro Giubilato contains in his work a plurality of different musical perversions which, when exposed, will intrigue the most esoteric type of listener.
Release No.10 features ‘Everyday EP’ the first solo record by Hayter of the Dog Balls and Westlake & Hayter fame. The record seamlessly transitions from 2000ish Gigolo vibes to Detroit electro-funk and wave anthems. The release is spiced with an acid power ballad of a remix by Hayter’s fellow Leipzig electro poet Credit 00.
Sunfear returns to Dark Entries with ‘All at Once’, her sophomore LP. Sunfear is the project of Turkish multidisciplinary artist Eylül Deniz. Her music blends intense guitar feedback with layers of noise, creating vast, textured compositions and vocals that evoke a sense of both chaos and beauty. Since 2017, Sunfear has carved out a niche in the experimental music scene, using her guitar and her voice to explore the boundaries of sound and emotion. Her work often feels like a journey through dark, expansive sonic landscapes, reflecting her deep connection to the power of sound. Her aim is self-expressive; these experimental tactics are her narrative and worldbuilding tools. ‘All at Once’ shows Deniz deepening her connection to the guitar, her voice, and the Sunfear project as whole. All at Once is a darker album than its predecessor Octopus. ‘All at Once’ reflects the dark times we live in, but it does not only live in hopelessness; it recognizes that while loss and trauma may change our forms, we must continue to move forward.
The return of Texas heavy electronics, S.English is back on the label with a new 10 track tape of tense, metallic textured sci-fi slowbeat At this point English has honed in and perfected his own style of reaching some sort of unreal middle ground sitting between muslimgauze, s-core, and seico corp. Absolutely mindbending, headcrushing outsider electronics.
The second album from Noda & Wolfers on Nightwind Records is here. With “Evil Fades In Echo” the Japanese dub melodica virtuoso Takafumi Noda aka Mystica Tribe meets up with Danny Wolfers aka Legowelt again for an unique concoction of digital dub acid hall with raw lo-fi synth wave. Buckets of echo, crumbled tapes, mind altering phasers, luring spring reverbs, sloppy hythm boxes, heavy intense bass and the ever mystifying melodica playing from Noda bring this project to a new level.
British producer Radondo makes a striking debut on Wrong Era with his EP, ‘Deluge’. His unique blend of influences, drawn from his time in the German Capital and inspirations within Italo Disco, creates a musical landscape that is both familiar and refreshing.

Ton Globiter follows with a high energy of a track, infused with his signature vocals that give the track an undeniable punch. Dream Days maintains the momentum, keeping the tensity high.
