For its third release, ‘Nights in Itaewon’, PATH invites the Romanian artist Cosmjn, producer and DJ who also runs the label Radial. Across four tracks, he explores a wide spectrum of sounds, from techno and breaks to deep and atmospheric cuts. Each piece stands out with its own character while keeping a strong coherence throughout the EP. A record finely crafted for the dancefloor.
The album was composed in 2007 and done with Roland JX305 synthesizer + Yamaha W7-32 Poly synth/sequencer, with additional sampling in Sony Sound Forge, using real dialogues between cosmonauts in Earth orbit.
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.
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.”
Romanian producer and DJ Andrew Red Hand has carved a unique niche in the world of underground electronic music. His work stands as a tribute to the raw energy of Detroit techno and electro, yet it retains a deeply personal, emotional tone that gives it timeless depth. He returns to Time Passages with the four-track ‘This EP ‘For My Father’ EP, offering his most focused and expansive vision yet. Includes a remix from an icon of the scene, DJ Hell.
Aura Sonora returns with a second release, bringing together two meticulous studio craftsmen, DYL from Romanian & Tammo Hesselink from The Netherlands. Their “Moire Patterns” EP kicks off with ‘Pattern 1’, a deep and rhythmic slice of rubbery techno that rides broken beats with atmospheric pulses up top. ‘Pattern 2 slows down to a predatory crawl with icy pads making a dystopian vibe then ‘Pattern 3’ brings a sense of mystic tribal ritual deep in some futuristic jungle and ‘Pattern 4’ closes down with more fantastically crafted, dubby, broken rhythms that are topped with organic percussion and almost impossible not to move to. Pure rhythm science brilliance.
Cosmin TRG is a Romanian producer who crafted some of the underground’s most innovative sounds a decade or so ago, before going off to work in other creative worlds. Here, for the first time, he links with countryman DYL for a special EP that is decidedly futuristic. ‘Manevre’ is Romanian for ‘manoeuvres’ and comes in three different parts. Each one is fluid minimal sound with deft rhythms, fizzing pads, eerie melodies, sub-aquatic motifs and always absorbing atmospheres. Tammo Hesselink also adds a remix that has more prominent drums, lurching loops and menacing dystopian energy.
Toba Moarte is a Lo-fi / Post-punk duo based in Bucharest, Romania. ‘Nihil Sine Rodeo’ is a 45 minute album of songs created and recorded between 2022 and 2025.
DYL presents a live-recorded set that embodies his experimental approach to sound design. By reprocessing stems from both completed and unfinished tracks through his modular system, he gives these pieces a renewed purpose and direction. The set offers a cohesive yet dynamic listening experience, reflecting DYL’s refined production techniques.
Four techno tracks by Andrew Red Hand from Romanian released on Diffuse Reality Records.
Borusiade lands on Dark Entries with their triumphant third LP, THE FALL: A Series of Documented Experiences. The Romanian producer and DJ Miruna Boruzescu aka Borusiade has a track record of genre-bending releases on tastemaking outlets like Cómeme, Pinkman, Cititrax, and of course Dark Entries, who unleashed their stunning 2020 sophomore album Fortunate Isolation. THE FALL builds on Borusiade’s mythos with its 9 brooding and sophisticated tracks investigating the contours of memory and embodiment – the “fragile bridge between body and mind” in Borusiade’s words. Moody basslines and melancholy synths wrestle with muscular rhythms; this is electronic body music for the heart and head. This is their most diaristic work to date, as well, chronicling love and loss through the gauze of reflection. Tracks like “Save Me”, “Recovery and Redemption”, and “The Fall” sprung from painful breakups, periods which Borusiade identifies as some of their most creatively fruitful, finding themselves “making the best music when I was brokenhearted.” There are odes to musical titans we’ve lost: the minimal electro producer Porn Darsteller is comemorated on “Darsteller”, while industrial legends Genesis P-Orrige and Lady Jaye are honored on “Pandrogyne.” THE FALL comes housed in a sleeve using Gautier D’Agoty’s “Essai d’Anatomie,” an anatomical work from 1745, and also includes a lyric sheet. Trauma, from lost love to pandemic isolation, informs THE FALL, situating itself as a gap that can only be accessed through sound and the creation of art. “What can I add? When life gives you drama, make music.”

Senking and DYL team up again. ‘Diving Saucer Attack’ is the first full-length record by the German artist and his Romanian collaborator, released through the Berlin-based Karaoke Kalk label. The six pieces, two of which were produced individually, both showcase the duo’s shared interests for dub-heavy, adventurous electronic music while also emphasising the productive friction generated by the subtle differences between their respective approaches.
Dan Andrei’s latest outing sees him inaugurating his own brand-new label alongside Claudiu Stefan. Rainbow Hill is a platform for their more personal ideas and starts with four more of Andrei’s brilliantly deft yet dramatic tracks. ‘Numan’s Touch’ kicks off with rolling drums and bass and a fine eco-system of cosmic pads, twinkling keys and fizzing synths that are theatrical and involving. ‘What Else?’ then gets darker and more intense with heady loops and wispy pads, and again the ante is upped and the darkness pervades once more on the tense and taught dub-tech roller ‘This Is What I See’. Last of all, ‘Bluer Than Ever’ floats above the floor with airy pads and radiant chords.
Romanian producer from Ploiești, Andu Simion released a new track on the Relic label from Perth, Australia. The release includes also a remix by Andu’s fellow from Ploiești, Bogdan Ardeleanu aka Ardb.
