F.U.R.O. – Hooked [SAMO021]
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.

L.F.T – Hell Was Boring LP [MNQ170LP]
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.
Leroy Se Meurt – Hier Pour Toujours LP [MNQ168LP]
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.
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.

VA – Nihon No Wave 2 [MEC099]
Japan’s electronic music scene has always stood out as uniquely distinctive. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, a wave of underground projects, bands, and independent labels – primarily based in Tokyo and Osaka – began crafting their own sound. Inspired by the post-punk, new wave, and experimental movements emerging from Europe and North America, these artists embraced a DIY ethic, using whatever technology they had access to in order to forge something entirely their own. This movement, often referred to as the “Nippon-wave” scene, remained largely hidden from the outside world. Many of its releases – on cassette tapes, flexi-discs, and privately pressed vinyl – never distributed beyond Japan’s borders, making them rare treasures for the few who managed to discover them. “Nihon No Wave” presents a selection of these long-overlooked recordings, making them accessible to listeners beyond Japan for the first time. This is Nihon No Wave part 2.
