Metropolis – No Reason EP [DS-05]
Artefakt’s De Stijl imprint presents a new EP by Metropolis. Metropolis, an alias of Nick Lapien—half of Artefakt. With his “No Reason” EP he reboots this guise and presents an unpolished and rough take of his wide techno repertoire. The A-Side includes two smokey warehouse-proof acidic techno jams, where title track No Reason on the B-Side leans more towards an off-beat EBM affair with vocals by Thuraya Shi. To round it off, Artefakt production partner Robin Koek delivers an immersive remix as Cyspe.
VA – Blue Binary Code EP [GO008]
Gladio Operations presents its eighth release titled “Blue Binary Code”, an EP that returns to the various artists format and is accompanied by relevant names from the electro scene; Boris Divider, Igors Vorobjovs, Lectromagnetique, Francois Dillinger and CH415 aka Chris Morgan.
Dj Nephil – Horizon Rising [KRI004]
The fourth chapter of the Kri discography was conceived in the cold northern parts of Europe by a well-seasoned electro producer and Gravitational Waves label owner, Dj Nephil. Sharp electro-minimalism on the Horizon Rising EP is ranging from hypnotic and subtle to a punkish kick in the arse. Lush textures, bitter-sweet acid, and thick bass lines are looking past trends to create a lasting record. Adding extra weight to this polar electro voyage are remixes by two among our favorite producers, Alonzo and Univac.
Meshes – Always Against EP [DAME048]
For its 48th release, Dame-Music welcomes back Meshes to the label, this time for his first full solo EP showcasing his fresh take on the modern EBM sound. Israel based producer Meshes marks his return to the label with his Always Against EP, including a remix from the label boss Bloody Mary. Full dose of heavy analogue bass, powerful percussion and punkish vocals across all 4 tracks.
Wedding Acid Group – Metro-303 [USR027]
Undersound Recordings presents the first album ever released on vinyl by the Wedding Acid Group (Galactic Jackson, J. Mono & Saint Leidal The 2nd). This musical odyssey consists of 8 meticulously crafted tracks, created between 2010 and 2021, representing over a decade of evolution and growth. Each song showcases a unique facet of the trio’s musical prowess, with tempos ranging from 100 to 150 bpm.

Sound Synthesis – Orbital 107 [ORBITAL107]
Maltese producer Sound Synthesis continues a wildly prolific run following not one but two albums dropped this year, not to mention another four EPs before this one. His Orbital Mechanics series has carried some of his most sharply focused electro workouts of the past two years and so it continues with this new care package from the dark side of the circuit board. ‘DNS Musik’ is a nightmarish electro-techno growler, while ‘Programming Your Mind’ has a sleeker approach without disrupting the eerie mood. ‘Endless Moments Of Beauty’ has a stronger melancholic tint to its expansive pads, and ‘Memorable Nights’ lays on some heavy-hearted emotional tones which offer a fine foil to the tougher demeanour of the A-side.

Mike Inzinger – Eyes Wide Shut [MIR0003]
Mike Inzinger from Vienna presents his third solo release, featuring three Detroit Techno tracks of classic Robert Hood minimalism style and 1 Electro track.
Credit 00 – Count 8 [MTRON032]
Credit 00 returns to Mechatronica with a mind-bending blend of past, present and future, carefully pieced together in a way that could come from no other. From the mind to the floor, from dark and cold machinefunk to blazed-out sun grooves, Credit 00 leaves no sonic traveler yearning.
Birds – Into The Coral Sea / Ritualistic Healing [HNR049]
Birds aka Katie Wilkinson returns with “Into The Coral Sea / Ritualistic Healing” her third release on Höga Nord Rekords. Birds is a declaration of love to electronic music and psychedelia.
Blotter Trax – Superconductor LP [OMLP27]
Blotter Trax was a collaboration between two storied artists, techno titan Magda and serial underground aggravator (and man of many aliases) Jay Ahern. Now they are back in updated and expanded form, a trio thanks to the addition of bassist Hannes Strobl. The band will release their far-sighted, funk-fuelled debut album, “Superconductor”. A pulsating, thrill-in-minute ride includes contributions from a swathe of notable guests (Nina Hynes, Ilhem Khodja and David Moss provided vocals, Shigeru Tanabu played guitar, Matthew Styles mixed the set and John Tejada mastered it). While rooted in electro and acid, the album is impressively low-slung, stylish and funky, with nods towards Blotter Trax’s mutual love of Arthur Russell, early ‘80s NYC downtown disco, leftfield new-wave pop and flash-fried punk-funk.
Ninechecker – Generating Coastline EP [ORSON027]
Ninechecker is an electro producer from Ontario, Canada, who released with Delsin and Central Processing Unit to name a few. Adding to his extensive releases belt, he delivers four stone cold new ones for electro-techno-breakbeat Orson. With its name maybe nodding to the generative creation of fantasy landscapes in 3D CGI software, highlights like ‘Magagun’ convey a weird kind of horrific calculator-nightmare (bloop freakouts aplenty) between the beats, all going to make this a stellarly exciting EP.

Om Unit + TM404 – In The Afterworld LP [ATLP-17]
Om Unit and TM404 have both been researching production and compositional elements in the crosshairs of dub and acid for the last few years – Om Unit most notably with his Acid Dub Studies 1 & 2, and TM404 with his Acidub album in particular.
Lennard Ypma – Ladies Jam [VOLREC001]
Leftfield electro and acid for Lennard Ypma’s debut ‘Ladies Jam – on his own label Volunar Records. BLS and GH-1S on the A-side make up for a heavy West Coast and electro journey. The remix of GH-1S by Beau Wanzer is also not to be missed, with his signature touch and a nauseating bassline. Flip the record to the B-side for two mind-bending acid cuts. Ladies Jam is a heavily distorted and mechanic track with eerie leads that will drag you through acid punches, while Betonsmeer offers a slowed-down bunker-style cruise with earworming acid and heavy percussion.
Mike Parker – The Devil’s Curators Vol. 3 [SPAZIO026]
Mike Parker lands his third chapter in The Devil’s Curators series on Spazio Disponibile. Impressively warping time and tempo’s with five iconic cuts of his deep mind trips. From down tempo acid riffs to shuffling dnb, hysteric drones and his trademark metal kick drums, it’s another package showing true style isn’t bound to one genre.
