‘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.
This track from MVQX dates back to 2019; now it’s here, remastered, and available to download for free.
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.
Echo Instinct is the new AV electronica project from Kat Day and Nicholas Wood of The KVB. Electronic Soundscapes For Post-Industrial Urban Decay gathers a collection of recordings and improvisations made between 2021 and 2025, crafted from a patchwork of synthesizers, drum machines, manipulated samples and field recordings. Inspired by the ever-changing concrete cityscapes of their former home in Berlin and the derelict, overgrown red-brick factories surrounding their new base in east Manchester, the album isn’t a soundtrack for a dystopian future — it’s a journey through the modern ruins of the world we live in today.
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.
Hailing from Lithuania, Shaknis joins Body Musick with a dystopian 4-tracker for the current overloaded times of life and death cycles.
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.
Two years after their debut on Berlin’s Mannequin Records, Leroy Se Meurt return with their second album, ‘Hier Pour Toujours’. Far from nostalgic, the record mirrors the bleakness of our times: history repeats itself, the future looks dark, and the duo’s fierce electronic punk is its perfect soundtrack. Drum machines set the march, synths flood the space, loops spiral to exhaustion, and vocals lead this orchestra of machines straight into the fire. Leroy Se Meurt sharpen their roots into something even more relentless—bold slogans, narrative fragments, and anthems made to be shouted together. ‘Hier Pour Toujours’ isn’t any more optimistic than their debut—but it still insists on belief. The end hasn’t come yet, and maybe, just maybe, there’s still light waiting on the other side.
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.

Detriti Records presents “Guarda come balla”, the long-awaited second album by Parole e Azioni. True old-school EBM, no compromises.
Prolific duo Years of Denial return to Veyl with another genre bending, dance floor ready EP titled Love Cuts. Acting as a transit between 2023’s Suicide Disco 2 and the forthcoming Suicide Disco 3, Love Cuts explores the various angles of love – ranging from the digital to the forbidden, toxic to erotic and beyond. A blend of death rock, future goth, EBM and rave, we once again find the project’s poetic, powerful lyrics fusing with motorized beats and 4×4 rhythms.
Thorn (also known as Human Figures and previously known as Death Posture) is the new incarnation of NY based producer with a trajectory with labels like Black Lodge Recordings, Frigio Records, L.I.E.S and Death Magic Decay. This time returns to Body with ‘Shape Of Intent’, an EP with 6 dancefloor-ready cuts, refining his hypnotic and minimalistic sequences with dark funk rhythms and wave atmosphere. Includes two tracks in collaboration with Motiv-A (DKA Records, Lost Soul Enterprises).
With Closer, TV.OUT deliver four tracks of sharp, elegant electro made for the dancefloor. It’s the kind of record that moves bodies without shouting — precise, deep, and full of character.
“The Techno Wave” was the debut single released in 1990 by the iconic project founded by Jens Lissat and Ramon Zenker (Hardfloor). It quickly became one of the defining anthems of the so-called Frankfurt Tekkno scene that swept across Germany in the early ’90s, capturing the raw energy and rebellious spirit of the movement.
