Italian producer Endless Nothing presents his debut X-IMG release “Forever Gone”, a tightly assembled and refined seven track album of brooding club cuts and finessed sound design topped off by a remix from SARIN. With sonic and creative concepts rooted in exploring themes of urban isolation and the harshness of modern capitalist existence, Endless Nothing weaves between techno, body music and post-punk influences to deliver his distinct sound characterized by crushing basslines, martial rhythms, and distorted, nihilistic atmospheres. Beyond his original productions, Endless Nothing has also made a name for himself as a remixer, working with key operators within the dark electronics underworld.
‘Shifting Bits’ marks the first full-length statement from 2:29, a rising young artist from the Netherlands. Rooted in shadowy, melody-streaked electro, the five original tracks (including one self-rework) revolve around the idea of transition and transformation. The title Shifting Bits reflects 2:29’s background as a software engineer: in computing, shifting bits alters values, creates new ones, or even causes loss, an irreversible process that parallels the way sound, workflow, and artistic intention evolve. Moving from DAW-based attempts to a more tactile hardware approach, these tracks capture the moment where experimentation starts crystallizing into a distinct voice. The cassette is rounded out by three remixes: a distorted and vintage-melodic rework from fellow Dutch producer Betonkust, a darker, driving version by Croatian veteran Le Chocolat Noir, and a contribution from Budapest’s Hadron Lundgren, his third appearance on the label, who reshapes the original into cold, atmospheric form.
For the first time, Endrik Schroeder and The Hacker have joined forces. Their unique sounds and styles have combined seamlessly to produce a 12” that draws on their own musical histories. The title track pulls the listener into a darkened sweaty basement, a space where neon lights leer and quivering speakers vibrate. Melting elements of new beat and rave revelry, the track is bawdy and bold. Robotic samples cut through siren blasts, clean snare rolls skidding in thick basslines and creamy breaks. Two remixes follow, both care of fellow French producer: Back From The Wave. First up is the “Breaky Remix”. Adhering to the club origins of the source material, this remake sends melodies ever higher as drums lift elated lines to the stern refrain of “Emergency”. The “Indie Remix” closes. The glowsticks are sheathed in this version, instead it is the soaring keys that are given the limelight with beats bolstered for extra bite. Three tracks set to delight and ignite dancefloors.
After the storm of their self-titled debut, Geneva duo Bound By Endogamy return to Pinkman with an album that trades brute force for precision. The rage remains, but it’s sharpened, disciplined, and driven by melancholy rather than rupture. Their minimal synth and industrial instincts rise to the surface, carving out room for melody without softening their confrontational edge. Angular basslines coil beneath Kleio Thomaïdes’ voice, at times detached and at times devastating, while Shlomo Balexert’s drum programming and synth work build a taut metallic tension. The result is both intimate and mechanical: love songs for disenchanted souls, post-punk electronics stripped to the bare wire. Bound By Endogamy have always blurred the line between performance and survival, and here they do it with minimal gestures and maximum impact.
Emerging from the sun-drenched haze of their previous releases, the Belgo-Italian duo, soFa elsewhere and Nicolas Boochie, descend into the shadows with ‘Trabajando El Flex’, their third record to date. This is their gloomiest strike yet – a mutant wave manifesto built on a raw DIY ethos. Imagine pulsing basslines and ghostly vocals soundtracking your deepest, most illicit desires. Channeling the spirit of a major influence which is Coil, this album could have been called “Music to Play in the Dark(rooms).” It’s a lethal fusion where New Beat, EBM, Dub, Italo, and New Wave lock into a singular, hypnotic atmosphere. Their world is a wild ride from Bear-Santa Claus Fantasms to Burning Churches and Amphetamine rooms, reflected in both their playful – not-to-be-taken-seriously – lyrics and a genre-shattering sound. Their debut was a lost reel; their second, a dream, Trabajando El Flex is the raw, slow-burning, and beautifully unclean night that consumes both. It’s a flawless fit for the after-hours ruin of the Pinkman universe.
Violet Poison returns to KRI with a full-scale assault of warped electro, mutant EBM and haunting wave. After previously appearing as a remixer and EP collaborator, Francesco Baudazzi expands his earlier contributions into a full-statement solo record that stretches from sub-zero electro programming to early-90s synthetic nostalgia and 80s romanticism. A diverse record by the veteran Italian producer is completed with remixes from Slow Motion affiliate Karolina BNV and long-standing KRI comrade Dj Nephil.
Samo Records brings the Italian trio F.U.R.O. into the fold. Their three original cuts twist together post-punk tension, cold-wave atmospheres, and leftfield electronics – raw, shadowy, and each with its own momentum. On remix duties, Italo Brutalo reimagines the title track into a peak-time rave weapon, injecting touches of acid and elevating the already powerful vocals.
‘Eyes On You’ is a five-track EP built from lost projects spanning 2010 – 2025. It blends raw industrial textures, heavy percussion, and soundtrack-like layers. The EP moves between tension and release, turning old studio experiments into a story that explores the unsettling feeling of always being watched, both in personal and social life.
Ortrotasce presents a new piece carved from voltage and intuition, a small sonic artifact for those who listen between the lines. Free download on his bandcamp.
“Sing Me Something Sinister” is like a cinematic sound document from outer space, featuring a collection of European underground artists from the coldwave/industrial scene such as Das Noir, Sololust, Bragolin, Adam Tristan and others covering a wide range of coldwave, electro, post-punk, and EBM. An ultimate overview of the European dark underground scene pressed in limited edition by Seja Records
The second volume of Elementa Obscura moves with even greater force toward the dancefloor: six tracks straddling the lines between industrial, electro, and wave. From FIUMEs cold, pounding opener to Memorexs spacious analog explorations, Nyxloids metallic EBM visions, and Ole Mic Odds razor-edged electro workout, the compilation spans the full spectrum of the underground. Spanish newcomer Thai Lady Boy brings chaos with a fractured industrial techno cut, while RNXRX closes with a ritualistic music excursion.
Between 2023 and 2025, L.F.T. split his time between Hamburg and Berlin, slowly piecing together what would become his most ambitious work to date. The result is ‘Hell Was Boring’ a double album that plays like a fever dream, unfolding as a dark, mythical tale about life, death, and the strange spaces in between. L.F.T. – the alias of German producer and multi-instrumentalist Johannes Haas – has always thrived on tension: between punk urgency and electronic precision, between raw emotion and mechanical repetition. On Hell Was Boring, those tensions are amplified. Drawing on the spectral drama of Bauhaus, the melancholic minimalism of Linear Movement, the futuristic romanticism of Gary Numan, and even the sly swagger of Falco, the album feels at once deeply personal and part of a much older musical lineage. The sound is stripped down to its bones: drums snap and rattle from a Roland TR-808, TR-707 and Korg KR-55; basslines growl from a Roland SH-101 and Korg MS-20; shards of guitar cut through clouds of tape hiss. Everything was tracked to a Teac Tascam 80-8 reel-to-reel, giving each track a lived-in, imperfect warmth. Nothing is overpolished – L.F.T. wanted the listener to hear the edges, the grit, the moments when the music almost comes apart. Along the way, he invited friends and long-time collaborators into the fold – Das Kinn, Rosaceae, Felix Kubin, Children Of Leir, and Konstantin Unwohl – each leaving their own fingerprints on the record’s world of shadows and static.
Samo Records celebrates its 20th release with a special vinyl from Sintex Bortexx. The Argentinian duo present three original tracks, crafting a distinctive sound that fuses elements of New Beat, EBM, Acid, Dark Wave, and more. For the occasion, Samo Records has invited three heavyweights to complete the package, with remixes from Tutto Vetro (aka Curses), DC Salas, and Charlie.
New Beat swagger meets EBM menace on the latest Kri release. New York based producer, DJ and Samo Records owner Facets channels the raw spirit of late ’80s New Beat and EBM into a modern club context with stripped-down rhythms and tense electronics lock. Four original tracks are bolstered with two heavyweight remixes courtesy of Marcello Giordani, the Italo Deviance maestro, and the iron-fisted British techno icon Broken English Club / Oliver Ho.
