Neon Electronics – Liberation [OR157]
Neon Electronics presents “Liberation”, the final chapter in the journey of Dirk Da Davo—an artist who helped lay the foundations of EBM and post-punk. As co-founder of The Neon Judgement, he forged a sonic language that continues to resonate across generations. With “Liberation”, he brings that journey to a close, marking the end of an era with clarity and intent. Joined by longtime collaborators Glenn Keteleer (Radical G) and Pieter-Jan Theunis, this release captures the essence of his most vital years. It distills the spirit of the ’80s and early ’90s into a sequence of tracks that unfold like a collection of undeniable hits—direct, timeless, and uncompromising. The record reaches its final form with remixes by Ancient Methods, a leading force in industrial techno, and Patrick Codenys of Front 242—one of the few acts whose legacy stands alongside Dirk’s own.

In Trance 95 – Code of Obsession (Expanded Digital Edition) [MW]
Originally released in July 1990, Code of Obsession is the debut album from In Trance 95 — the Athens-based duo of Alex Machairas and Nik Veliotis, and one of the rare purely electronic acts to emerge from Greece in the 1980s. Recorded and released on the Wipe Out! label, the original album weaves together minimal synth, early EBM, and industrial textures across seven tracks, including Obsession Day, Shamandance, and Love Thing. A product of deep analog experimentation, Code of Obsession stands as a defining document of the Greek underground electronic scene and a key artifact of the broader minimal wave movement that would later captivate collectors and listeners worldwide. Previously only available on vinyl, this official digital release makes the album accessible for the first time to streaming and download audiences everywhere — expanded to 11 tracks with four additional recordings presented here for the first time.
Scrot – Teufel & Mensch [MEC107]
In the early 1990s, at the intersection of New Beat, early techno and EBM, a wave of raw, experimental club music emerged from Germany—dark, mechanical and often strangely playful. Among its most distinctive voices was Scrot, the project of producer Lars Janzik (Base Scan, Decade V, Technoline). Originally released on ZYX Records, Scrot’s three seminal singles—“Teufelsrhythmus”, “Der Rhythmusmensch” and “Der Amokläufer”—captured a unique moment in early European techno. Built on hypnotic drum machine patterns, lo-fi sequencing and spoken-word German samples, these tracks combined industrial textures and unconventional vocal treatments with early techno production techniques and a peculiar sense of humor. “Teufel & Mensch” brings together some of the project’s most iconic tracks and remixes, alongside the previously unreleased Knauer Remix of “Teufelsrhythmus”.
Unsighted – Bodywreck [KRI015]
Unsighted lands on KRI with Bodywreck – a four-track descent into shadowed electro, where fractured rhythms and cold synth work carve out a bleak, dystopian zone. Brooklyn-based Nicolás Sierra pairs sharp vocoder cuts with icy synths and heavyweight low-end across Bodywreck, Mental Models and Transfigured Time, while the aptly titled 1984 locks into a rigid 4×4 stride laced with bleep-driven paranoia. New York mainstay and electro OG Alonzo reworks 1984, tightening the screws with his unmistakable, hard-bouncing signature.
H.E.I.M. Elektronik & MAS 2008 – Electronic Corporation 1998–2006 [MNQ165]
Mannequin Records present “Electronic Corporation 1998–2006”, a compilation bringing together rare and long unavailable recordings by the German electronic projects heimelektronik and MAS 2008. Active around the turn of the millennium, both projects share the involvement of producer Ive Müller while developing distinct collaborations and approaches to electronic music. H.E.I.M. Elektronik was founded in 1996 by Holger Erlenwein and Ive Müller (after the two artists split in 1999, Müller continued using the name), while MAS 2008 is the project of Ive Müller together with René Kirchner. Though separate entities, the two projects explored a similar sonic territory: stripped-down electro, minimal electronics and machine-driven body music shaped by analog hardware and a raw DIY production ethos. The roots of Müller’s work go back to the final years of the DDR. As a teenager he worked as a licensed DJ — officially known as a “Schallplattenunterhalter” — operating a travelling disco across Saxony. With limited access to official Western releases, music circulated through cassette recordings taped from West German radio stations such as RIAS Berlin, NDR2 and Bayern3. Together with friends he travelled between youth clubs and discos around Leipzig with a “rolling discotheque”: a Russian Wolga pulling a trailer loaded with Electro-Voice sound systems sourced through the black market. At the turn of the 2000s this background in underground electronic culture resurfaced in a series of recordings rooted in electro, EBM and minimal machine music. The tracks collected here capture this moment: cold sequences, driving rhythms and stark synthetic textures produced with a direct and uncompromising approach.
A Split-Second – Balistic Statues LP [MEC103]
Belgian electronic body-music pioneers A Split-Second deliver an expanded reissue of their influential 1987 debut ‘Ballistic Statues’, a landmark of the New Beat and EBM movement. Blending dark electronics, cold-wave tension and precision-driven sequencing, the album helped define a pivotal moment in the late-80s European underground. This new edition brings together all tracks from the original album and enhances them with essential recordings from the same era, including the band’s complete 1986 debut EP (A Split-Second), the cult Smell of Buddha, and additional period material. ‘Ballistic Statues’ remains a defining statement—raw, innovative and far ahead of its time. This reissue brings together the core foundations of A Split-Second in one essential collection making it ideal for both long-time followers and new listeners discovering the band.
TLXCO – Did You Smoke? [SLVMNCR013]
Italian producer TLXCO returns with “Did You Smoke?”, a raw, industrial journey through acid and electro. Four live-recorded tracks pulse with the mechanical energy, distorted textures, and unfiltered intensity that we love from TLXCO, as he turns the machines up and unleashes the chaos.
Cabaret Voltaire – But What Time Is It Really? [MEME26CD10]
Marking 50 years since the live launch of one of Britain’s most influential electronic bands (at the Sheffield Students Union Refectory on 13 May 1975), Stephen Mallinder and Chris Watson reactivated the Cabaret Voltaire name for an exclusive live performance at the Forge Warehouse, Sheffield. A 4 date tour of the UK followed in November 2025. They were joined by Eric Random and Oliver Harrap.
“But What Time Is It Really?” was recorded on the Oct-Nov 2025 UK Tour and perfectly captures the mood of the UK dates. Fans travelled across the world to see the band present new arrangements of classic Cabs tracks such as ‘Sensoria’, ‘Crackdown’, ‘Do Right’ and ‘Spies in the Wires’ alongside ‘Tinsley Viaduct’, a contemporary piece of musique concrète composed by Chris Watson.
Stephen Mallinder: Vocals, bass, keyboards, samples
Chris Watson: organ, modular synths, samples, field recordings
Eric Random: Keyboards, guitar
Oliver Harrap: Electronic percussion
In memory of Richard H. Kirk.

Black Dot – Lust [KRI014]
Christian Kroupa & Le Chocolat Noir (Black Dot) return to Kri 3 years after their debut, picking up the thread where it all began. Since their first release, and outings on Mechatronica and Italo Moderni in between, the duo continues to refine their stripped, nocturnal electro sound – sharp, eclectic, and built for late hours. Duo’s signature futuristic melancholia on Lust EP includes six tracks ranging from EBM club domination to electro after-hours relaxation, laced with melodic synth lines, a haunting Slavic vocal, and spiced with club-ready remixes by Innershades and Charlie.
The Wheel of Rituals – Contextual Devices and Systems [CM27]
The Wheel of Rituals, ‘Contextual Devices and Systems’ (2026). Concept and art by R.A. User. Digital audio, digital photography (and found footage), music composition, album, two-sided lathe cut recorded and riso print. Duration: 58 minutes (album), 10min 35s (lathe), 24 pages zine. This publication presents two modalities of archaeological inquiry: various items and material remnants salvaged from post-conflict landscape of northern France, and recontextualized digital captures extracted from contemporary popular media. Through processes of cut-up poetry, these temporal artifacts generate new intertextual configurations: audio graphics. The juxtaposition of geographical and media archaeologies functions as a literary methodology for examining conditions of contemporary culture – each fragment serving as contextual device within a speculative system of meaning.
Renderer – Infodynamics EP [BDMS056]
Renderer is a new project from Columbian producer Filmmaker.
Spammerheads – The Mire Chronicles Remixes [Banshees]

Romphea – Blind Protocols [HIL014]
Romphea lands on Scottish imprint Hilltown Disco with his debut EP, Blind Protocols. A producer who’s been making serious waves worldwide, Romphea’s forward-thinking take on electro has already found a home on respected labels such as Pinkman, Tiger Weeds, FERMA, and recently on Hilltown Disco’s charity compilation. Romphea distills his sound on ‘Blind Protocols’ into a fierce club-ready statement. The A-side delivers three break-neck electro cuts, loaded with acidic pressure and gripping, sweat-driven drum workouts. Flip it over and the EP slips into darker territory, leaning into EBM influences with two killer remixes from Hayter and Timothy J. Fairplay.

Asymetric80 – Frenetic Habits EP [INDMEK-011]
Asymetric80 lands at Industrias Mekanikas with an unapologetic statement: a direct immersion into the aesthetics of collapse and extreme habits. The work places you in the center of a post-apocalyptic scenario, where survival no longer relies on calm, but on your ability to endure mechanical tension. The sound is built upon solidity and saturation. You won’t find fragility here, but rather an architecture of EBM, New Beat, and Industrial Techno designed to dominate any sound system that dares to play it.
