passEnger – Hybrid Science EP [TABR032]
The Tabernacle imprint continues on its mission to provide dusty and lo-fi excursions through soulful techno. This time courtesy of Turin’s Andrea Di Maggio aka passEnger. “Correlated Motions” is a dark peak time affair of metallic reverberations and sinister atmospherics. “Protong Genetics” captures you in all its deepness complete with otherworldly oscillations and emotive circuitry. On the flip there’s “Epta Waves” which gets on a Drexciyan electro tip, convincingly and brilliantly while final track “Uranus Unknown” features the lushest analogue strings that will absolutely hypnotise and draw you in unlike anything else you’ve heard recently.
Liquid G – Liquidation [DE099]
“Liquidation” is the first ever vinyl compilation of Liquid G.’s cassette recordings, taking you on a journey through the underground of the Belgian Electro Industrial scene. Each song was written, produced, recorded and performed by solely by Peter Van Bogaert between 1987-1989. Liquid G. captures the DIY synth-punk ethos of Cabaret Voltaire, The Screamers, and Nervous Gender. Six of the eleven songs on the album are instrumentals, and full of disturbing drum machines, stratified synthesizers, and deep, distorted bass-lines. The core of Liquid G.’s home studio included the Korg Poly-800, Roland TR-505, Roland MT-32, and Boss flanger and delays.
Ubre Blanca – The Sadist [GD012]
Picking up the studded gauntlet thrown down by such luminaries as Heldon, Goblin, Zombi and Simon Boswell comes Glaswegian duo Ubre Blanca.

CCO – Space Race EP [ENDILL005]
Contra Communem Opinionem shortly CCO, own name Florin Büchel is the pure acid lover from Zürich.

Vagon Brei – The Pleasure Of Finding Things Out [PF010]
Vagon Brei, aka Victor Ramos is back with a full length CD album on Photic Fields.

His scientific curiosity, zest for life and eccentric personality were tried to be captured in music, produced by a true admirer of the man. A varied set of tracks, among the album you’ll find mystic waves, ambient moods, synth soundtracks and electro cuts. ‘It’s much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong’.

Delta Funktionen – Wasteland – Chapter III: Cave of Descendants [RAM-X-05]
Frak – Primitive Drums [LXRC024]
Frak on Lux Rec… Nordic woods are a dangerously primitive place. Fueled with madness and induced delirium Frak land on planet Lux. Three slow, acid numbers with a barbaric, crude attitude. Relentless drums. Fierce, hypnotic synthesizers that get you lost in your own mind. Suddenly sinister, disastrous images populate your consciousness. And then one last strange, twisted wave track. New places, new adventures.
Das Muster/Mumm – Twin Paradox Series 002: Der Lange Weg/Ein Blick In Die Zukunft [FR009]
Helena Hauff – Discreet Desires [WDNT014]
Golden Pudel’s DJ-turned-producer, Helena Hauff, returns to Actress’s Werkdiscs with her debut LP. Compared to her last effort for the label and her banger of an EP on Lux, Discreet Desires spans across much vaster landscapes, and while we knew that she was heavily into Detroit electro, the album is heavily focused on fast, broken beats brimming with synths. “Spur” and “Funereal Morality”, for example, are a pair of Drexcyian bombshells, while “Piece Of Pleasure” clearly takes inspiration from Kraftwerk and the resulting synth pop wave. Instead, “Silver Sands & Boxes Of Mould” showcases her more experimental side thanks to its cinematic soundscapes and sparse beats, along with the beatless sway of “Dreams In Color”. A fine debut LP that cements Hauff’s position at the vanguard of current electronics.
DJ Overdose – Hero’s Gone Mental EP [LIES062]
Must have record from a key figure in the West Coast’s (of Holland that is) underground scene. DJ Overdose has already smashed this year with his Master Control release on Viewlexx and picks up right where he left off with these four tracks. Moody, dramatic, filled with basslines and insane drum programming, this record is meant to be played loud on the dancefloor. Check the curveball title track Hero’s Gone Mental for maximum heads down in the cut vibes.
Louis Haiman – Aquatonic Dissonance [AFS020.02]
Louis Haiman returns to Abstract Forms with some seriously deep underwater vibes….and who better to co-pilot than Heinrich Mueller himself.
