Violet Poison – Death Of A Man Machine EP [KRI013]
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.

Datasal – Tyst Sol [HNRLP036]
The word Datasal paints inner pictures for most people growing up in Sweden during the 1990’s. The datasal (a classroom for computers) was an ordinary classroom with few changes to fit the school’s 10 newly leased computers. The room represented the change of times in Sweden during this period: the fixed institutions and the awaiting digital flood wave. The music of Datasal sounds captures the feeling of printing a downloaded picture of your favorite hockey player or music artist or the expectations building up as you wait for the modem to log in to interact with the thousands of users of the internet in 1995. The tracks this release manifests the excitement but also the bit of fright you felt connecting to the world in the mid 90’s – a time when the internet still was fun. The sound is built around repetitive sequencer loops and programmed beats where electric bass, electric guitar and flute improvise around a theme, creating a sound that is best described as cosmic flute house. Datasal is an harmonic reminder of a time where digital progress seemed less harmful than today.

DJ Hell – Neoclash LP [GIGOLO367]
‘Neoclash’ is DJ Hell’s new work. The Electroclash of the early 2000s is reconstructed here, its characteristic codes extracted and reshaped into a modern, reflective form. Neoclash is a cultural experiment – music as a medium of reflection, a structure for space and time, and a vehicle for exploring the tensions between technology, the body, and perception. Electroclash now – or a manifesto for the aesthetic relevance of electronic club music, combining strong old-school references with a new understanding. DJ Hell, a.k.a. Helmut Josef Geier, delivers a contemporary reinterpretation of the Electroclash genre. International Deejay Gigolo Records was the pulse of the movement 25 years ago – and Hell, its very namesake. Godfather of Electroclash reloaded. 25 years and many milestones later, DJ Hell returns to his roots with Neoclash, proving that Electroclash in 2025 can sound not nostalgic, but forward-thinking and visionary. Neoclash builds a bridge between past and present within electronic dance culture and club music.

Dopplereffekt – Metasymmetry [TRESOR388]
Marking the anniversary of three decades of career, Dopplereffekt debuts on Tresor Records with Metasymmetry. This latest release finds members Rudolf Klorzeiger and To-Nhan in deep inquiry in sound, contemplating structure and pattern in physics and nature resulting in a harmonious audio tessellation. ‘Metasymmetry’ itself relates to a kind of second-order reality found not in the structures of life but in the rules that govern these structures; that order exists not only in things but in the relationships among systems of order. It is a structure of structures, a logic of laws, an abstract unity embedded in the act of transformation itself.
Alden Tyrell & Detroit In Effect present: The Greys I [CWCS028]
Detroit meets the Dutch West Coast. When DJ Maaco (Detroit In Effect) teams up with Alden Tyrell, you know the result won’t be subtle. Banging electro grooves, early techno vibes, and pure machine funk—crafted with love and a healthy dose of fun in the studio. This is the sound of two producers letting loose, channeling the raw spirit of the underground with a playful nod to both Motor City classics and Dutch West Coast swing.
Imre Kiss & Norwell – Archives [CRISIS008]
Crisis Records returns after a five-year hiatus with Archives EP, a new release from Imre Kiss and Norwell. Recorded between 2015 and 2020, the tracks mark the duo’s first collaboration since their acclaimed Ad Astra EP seven years ago. Across the EP, Norwell’s sparkling arpeggios sit comfortably alongside Imre’s atmospheric pads. The sharp, metallic drum programming anchors the tracks with cold, rhythmic precision, while rich basslines, occasional squelching acid, and eerie vocal samples create a captivating, hypnotic atmosphere. There is a strong sense of nostalgia throughout, with hints of Kraftwerk and Detroit’s Drexciya woven into the sound, yet the pair still manages to craft something that feels distinctly their own.
Boris Divider – Time To Face EP [D91014]
In “Time To Face”, Boris Divider seems to operate from an invisible sub-layer of the system, where machines no longer execute orders – they interpret, react and reconfigure themselves. Each track works as a fragment of a world in mutation, a territory where the friction between algorithm and synthetic consciousness generates brief sparks of humanity.

Module 33 delivers a forward-leaning take on timeless electro aesthetics—crafted for dancers, diggers and sonic explorers alike.

Dopplereffekt – Live at Kraftwerk Berlin (Arte Concert presents Tresor 30)
VA – Vibracid 3: Beyond Logic EP [CT013]
The Vibracid operation has cracked the code. With control systems collapsing, the third transmission pierces the very fabric of reality, unleashing patterns that overflow any known algorithm. From Earth to the far reaches of the interplanetary galactic network, six architects of sound unite to chart routes beyond logic: corrosive FM sequences, blasts of mutant acid, haunting vocoders, and electromagnetic pulses engineered to infiltrate both bodies and machines. Each track is a node in the insurgent network, an access point to the domain where matter, music, and mind can no longer be separated.
Audiotech – I’m Your Audio Tech [M053]
Audiotech is one of the many visionary aliases of Juan Atkins, the Detroit pioneer widely recognized as one of the originators of techno. Originally released in 1987 on Express Records, “I’m Your Audio Tech” captures a crucial moment in the evolution of electronic music – when raw machine funk and futuristic minimalism merged to form the Detroit sound.
