Suicide AFTR 7 – Static Linez [HP002]
Suicide AFTR 7 moves deeper into the shadows on this release, stripping things back while letting the groove hit harder. Built on pumping 808s, restless synth lines, and a subtle acid pulse, the project blends electro, cold wave, and leftfield instincts into something leaner and more focused than earlier records. There’s a proto-80s spirit running through it: raw, tactile, and slightly unpolished, where tension lives in the negative space and repetition becomes hypnotic rather than obvious. For the first time, real bass guitar and drums enter the picture, adding human weight beneath the electronics without diluting Suicide AFTR 7’s core identity. The result feels rawer, more intimate, and quietly confrontational. Music for late nights, dim rooms, and inward motion.

The Spy – In Line LP [OR152]
In just five years, The Spy has gone from underground newcomer to one of the most talked-about names in the European electro and EBM dark electro scene. Now landing on Oráculo Records, he presents his most wave-driven and club-oriented material to date: pure, physical electro built for dark rooms and late hours. Driving basslines and sharp machine rhythms—infused with subtle, classic post-punk tension—define a sound that connects the dancefloor with the shadows. This is music made to move bodies without sacrificing attitude—raw, confrontational, and far removed from formulaic club clichés. Five years in, the message is clear: this is not hype, but momentum—an artist fully in command of a modern electro language built for the underground.
Adam Tristar – VHS Horror Tape LP [OR150]
Following “The Red Pill” and “Suicide Neighborhood”, VHS Horror Tape marks the next chapter in the sonic universe of Dutch synthwave wizard Adam Tristar. The album expands on his signature sound with darker tones, gritty analog textures, and a strong cinematic horror influence, evoking late-night VHS aesthetics, neon-lit nightmares, and retro-futuristic suspense. It’s a haunting journey that blends nostalgia with menace, pushing his synthwave style into deeper, more ominous territory.
VA – Former Friend [HUNGER005]
The ‘former friend’ V/A compilation sits with friendship in all its forms. Pure, ecstatic, everlasting. Ruptured, slow drifting, fast drifting, pretending to be strangers. Some things don’t last forever but this collection of unhinged West Coast energy, occult alchemy, and swampy electronics, just might.
Filmmaker – Diffractions LP
“Diffractions” is a new album by Colombian artist Filmmaker AKA Faunes Efe, self-released on his bandcamp page.
Bound By Endogamy – Steamy Highways Have No End [PNKMN060]
After the storm of their self-titled debut, Geneva duo Bound By Endogamy return to Pinkman with an album that trades brute force for precision. The rage remains, but it’s sharpened, disciplined, and driven by melancholy rather than rupture. Their minimal synth and industrial instincts rise to the surface, carving out room for melody without softening their confrontational edge. Angular basslines coil beneath Kleio Thomaïdes’ voice, at times detached and at times devastating, while Shlomo Balexert’s drum programming and synth work build a taut metallic tension. The result is both intimate and mechanical: love songs for disenchanted souls, post-punk electronics stripped to the bare wire. Bound By Endogamy have always blurred the line between performance and survival, and here they do it with minimal gestures and maximum impact.

O.P.S. – Interstellar EP [NOPO017]
Nubians Of Plutonia’s spacecraft drifts once again beyond the last known coordinates. The stars around vibrate like synthesizers, bending light into rhythm. The pulse that once guided us now expands through the void, resonating in waves that distort time itself. This is ‘Interstellar’, a transmission from an unknown quadrant. Each track a fragment of stellar dust, each beat a signal from the deep. As we cross nebular corridors and electromagnetic storms, we feel the gravity of sound pulling us forward – faster, farther, until all notions of direction dissolve. Somewhere, beyond the edge of frequency, we might find a new home. Or maybe we’ll just keep dancing, forever suspended in orbit around the next cosmic pulse.
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.

From Buenos Aires, Argentina, Dialektica Records presents its first release by Memory Operators, the duo formed by Mich & Vinz. Dialogues EP is a creation born from communication.

The record dialogues between genres such as Synthwave, New Beat, Electro and Techno, exploring sampling, mysterious melodies, high-energy arpeggios, and a nostalgic sensitivity. The EP closes with a remix by Dani Labb, who true to his style, managed to give it a fresh twist without losing its essence.
