ARMOR – La Balade de Misrakis Feat. Feras Turk [PINKMAN] [FREE DOWNLOAD]

ARMOR, a new alias from Pascal Pinkert (Ambassade / Dollkraut). La Balade de Misrakis is the first single from the upcoming album Love Chaos, out this spring. A few years ago he visited Turkey and Lebanon to collaborate with artists such as trip-hop legend Zeid Hamdan and Egyptian singer Maii. While many of these recordings found their way into Dollkraut releases, revisiting the material sparked the need for a new outlet. With ARMOR, Pinkert dives deeper into the space between folk traditions and electronic experimentation. Hypnotic drones merge with Middle Eastern percussion, while subtle rhythmic structures fuse with immersive soundscapes.

DYL – Achordat 002 [Achr-002]

Achordat returns with its second release, continuing its commitment to experimental sound explorations. This chapter comes from DYL, who weaves dub textures with jazz inflected elements, moving fluidly between 170 and 140 BPM. On the journey of the second track, DYL is joined by Roberta, adding another layer of depth to the release. Shaped by the arrival of the cold season, the record embraces melancholic moods and raw, sometimes harsh atmospheres, reflecting winters introspective and uncompromising edge.

Grupo Um – Nineteen Seventy Seven LP [FARO254LP]

Brazilian avant-jazz vanguardists Grupo Um celebrate their 50th anniversary, sharing a second previously lost 1970s album from the vaults. Nineteen Seventy Seven (titled after the year it was recorded) is another rip-roaring instrumental fusion treasure from the band which spawned from within Hermeto Pascoal’s famed mid-1970s São Paulo collective. Like their debut album Starting Point, Grupo Um’s Nineteen Seventy Seven was recorded when Brazil’s military dictatorship was at its most repressive. “There were no open doors to those who dreamt to be protagonists in creative instrumental music”, remembers drummer Zé Eduardo Nazario, “even popular composers and singers had to submit their songs to censors and many records were banned and confiscated from the stores.”

Group Modular – Hecker / Sharon [GMTWO]

Retro-futurist duo Group Modular presents the second release in its new 7inch series, powered by Confused Machines and Delights labels. On the new double-sider, Mule Driver and Markey Funk share their fascination with the late 20th century brutalist architecture and explore themes of geometric patterns, urbanistic utopia and its inevitable decay. “Hecker” is a dreamy yet uplifting short piece. Tirelessly building up in repetitive odd cycles, it portrays an imaginary time-lapse of a modern city’s perpetual development and renewal. On the flipside, slow and gentle “Sharon”, inspired by the sound of early 80s Bruton library, paints a melancholic and alienated picture of a late-night residential area.

Estado De Bienestar – Capítulo III : La Anarquía Sónica [OR148]

Estado De Bienestar keeps pushing deeper into sonic chaos with “La Anarquía Sónica” — a raw, proto, and visceral journey built on hand-crafted beats, deliciously unhinged basslines and immersive field recordings. Music for the restless. For those obsessed with sound. For anyone tired of hearing the same thing over and over again. Dystopian music for a universal shift. This time, Estado De Bienestar joins forces with Belgian synth guru Peter Bonne / Chayell Zenn (Linear Movement, Twilight Ritual) to rework “The Enochian Keepers of Time” into an emo-electro industrial aberration titled “Guardianes del Tiempo.”

Leonardo Marletta – Percussioni Ed Effetti [M715]

Leonardo Marletta’s astounding ‘Percussioni ed effetti’ was originally released by Cenacolo in 1983 and is the one and only album of the Italian composer. Other than a handful of compositions which appear on other Library albums from the era, very little about him remains known, adding an air of tragedy for what might have been, as the first sounds of the album ring through the air.

Golden Axe – Mirage [SRNDS006]

‘Mirage’ is a musical phenomenon that arises in the atmosphere due to refraction and total internal reflection of analog sound rays at the boundary between layers of trance of varying density, tribal ambient, and futuristic dub. Thanks to this effect, the observer sees imaginary images of distant objects that are normally hidden behind the horizon, as well as their distorted shapes or reflections.

Hu Vibrational – Vibe Ride [ND015]

‘Vibe Ride’ is the sixth release of Adam Rudolph’s Hu Vibrational project and marks his 60th release as a leader or co-leader. “With every record, the goal is to explore new creative territory,” explains Rudolph. Vibe Ride continues a deeper exploration of a trance-like groove and a conceptual framework known as Sonic Mandala. This album marks the most complete realization of that idea, partly due to the group’s experience touring beforehand. That time on the road helped to refine ideas and strengthen musical chemistry. The recording process unfolded organically—likely due to the long-standing collaboration within ensembles like Go: Organic Orchestra and Moving Pictures, where the musicians have developed a deep familiarity with the shared musical language.”

VC-118A – Avian [162DSR]

In an intricate lattice of ever-evolving electro exploration, Samuel Van Dijk is back on Delsin with a new EP. Under his VC-118A alias, the Helsinki based producer presents a richly textured, cinematic strain of machine funk that reaches beyond dancefloor functionality to test the expressive potential locked within electro’s crisp rhythmic framework. There’s a melancholic mood hovering over ‘Avian’ as Van Dijk allows a subtle edge of distortion to creep into his flickering drum programming. The end result is a pensive sound that touches on the moodiness of orchestral composition, unfurling patiently across extended run times without losing focus. With his characteristic attention to detail and broad dynamic range, Van Dijk continues to offer up a sophisticated, emotionally-charged strain of electro like no other.

DYL – Achordat 001 [Achr-001]

Achordat begins as an open entity shifting, adaptive, ready to take new forms. DYL introduces this with four pieces: three solo experiments and a collaboration with Roberta, captured on a Sunday morning of spontaneous creation. Each track opens a different angle, together sketching the first outline of a label built on movement and transformation.

Anna Funk Damage – Tarantola LP [RWCLTR029]

Hailing from Raw Culture, Anna Funk Damage returns with his third release on the Roman label, delivering a record as fierce as it is intimate. ‘Tarantola’ was born out of a winter suspended between contrasting emotions – melancholy, anger, love, confusion – distilled into a sound that transforms personal fragility into collective energy. There’s no pursuit of perfection here, but rather an urgency running through the veins, taking shape across supersonic punk, wave, ambient and industrial.

Tomorrow Comes The Harvest – The Happening [AX126]

”The Happening” by Tomorrow Comes The Harvest is a provocative confrontation. It’s a challenge or dare to the idea that music can be useful if we are able to experience it. I would imagine that to many, music having an objective beyond the listener doesn’t make sense because the general thought is that Music is made for us to consume, to make us remember, to influence us and to make us feel something. The Happening does all those things but much more.

Articulat – Harap-Alb LP [ART001]

Harap-Alb is the first full-length album by Articulat, following a trilogy of EPs (two released on vinyl) and previous appearances on Rotterdam’s Afrobotic Musicology label. This new project deepens Articulat’s commitment to narrative-rich electronic music – blending structure, rhythm, and texture to evoke both dancefloor tension and cinematic storytelling.

“This album is a personal exploration – an attempt to deconstruct and reimagine, through sound, a story that has been familiar to me since childhood. I first encountered Harap Alb as a crackling, timeworn radio play on vinyl, and its atmosphere has lingered with me ever since. This is my way of keeping that story alive, not by preserving it in amber but by passing it forward in a different form.
Perhaps, years from now, someone will discover this record the same way I found the original. And in doing so, they too will add their own craft and love to the tale.”
