Michael J. Blood makes his second appearance on a Clone subsidiary. The enigmatic producer, rumored to be from Manchester, UK, draws on the two cities that influenced so many before him: classic Detroit and Chicago vibes and deepness, with a fresh, timeless twist.
Obergman operates somewhere in the space between deep electronics, Detroit-influenced machine music and late-night dancefloor hypnosis. Since the mid 90’s, his unique explorations in sound and groove has seen him release on such esteemed labels as Skam, Börft, Abstract Forms and most recently Craigie Knowes and Orson Records. For his debut release on Cyphon Recordings, Obergman delivers four cuts of atmospheric, machine-driven music under the suitably cosmic title Periodic Motion.
Fresh, Rare & Classic Dalmatas, as the title suggests, this compilation brings together 26 tracks selected from demos received over the past period, featuring promising emerging artists and fresh faces in the Dalmata Daniel story alongside familiar producers from the label’s roster.

Includes tracks from artists like Analogous Doom, Cybernetic Research Unit, Hadron Lundgren, Harold Helman, Hayter, Imre Kiss, J. Mono, LVRIN, Mule Driver, Pleasure Model, Rapha, Roberto Auser, Shokh, SILF or VLR.
Transparent Sound (Orson Bramley) is a true cult architect of the UK electro scene. Since 1992, he’s been bridging the gap between Detroit techno, acid, and rave futurism. He now lands on No Static / Automatic for a very special release, The Lost Tapes — a new EP of lost recordings from the early 2000s London era. Dug out of DAT tapes and CDRs, recorded in Orson’s home studio with borrowed and loaned gear and car boot sale finds. Raw, unpolished, and proper electro history. The EP features 3 original tracks and a remix from NS/A label boss ARA-U .
Bruto Industries presents Slammer Weapons EP by Colombian producer Filmmaker, the label’s third 12-inch release. Five original tracks built on EBM, industrial, and electro, infused with elements of dungeon synth and centered around a raw, dark, and distinctive sonic identity. The tracks explore a range of tempos and have been conceived as club tools: sonic weapons designed to work at varying levels of intensity. Dob41 closes out the EP with a remix of “Swordmaster,” reimagining the original track with a more extreme and direct approach.
UK enigma Tom Carruthers joins Rotterdam Electronix with a fresh sounding vintage House and Techno release. Detroit to Chicago flavored tracks ready to dance your socks off.
Sheffield-based electronic duo Synaptic Voyager arrive on Seventh Sign Recordings in a fresh phase of the label’s ongoing legacy with an EP that blends classic Detroit-rooted machine soul with a crisp, modern production touch. With a catalogue already spanning respected imprints including Cyphon and Frame of Mind, their sound here leans into rich atmospherics, deep synths and tightly crafted rhythms. The release is complemented by a remix from label owner Graham Wilson, who reshapes the original into a groovy late night cut while keeping its melody intact. A strong addition to the Synaptic Voyager story and the Seventh Sign catalogue, this EP offers a truly timeless electronic sound.

Delsin announces the second volume of their extensive compilation series combing through the catalogue of landmark Dutch techno label Djax-Up-Beats. The series, curated by Rush Hour co-founder Christiaan Macdonald, continues with a look at the label’s legacy in the development of Dutch techno through the early 90s. This second volume in the Djax-Up-Beats 1990-2005 series comprises 25 tracks, presented again as a main triple-vinyl album plus three additional 12″ EPs. The compilation also features again all-new illustration from Alan Oldham, design by Lost Communication and liner notes from music journalist Oli Warwick. Crucially, every track featured on the series has been carefully mastered by Johanz Westerman, bringing the best out of tracks that often had very little post-production treatment before they were originally pressed to wax. Volume 2 – The NL Connection takes a deep dive in the development of Dutch techno. Saskia Slegers didn’t run her label with a specific focus on any one place, but she naturally connected with artists close to home. Emergent producers from across the Netherlands found a vital outlet in Djax-Up whether they were short-lived dabblers or dance music devotees on their way to lifelong careers. Volume 2 – The NL Connection looks at the first outings in Dutch techno by originators such as Stefan Robbers as Terrace, Dylan Hermelijn as Planet Gong and Edge Of Motion (with Gert-Jan Schonewille) and Sander Friedeman as Random XS. Whether it was sensitive, melodious machine dreaming, gnarly acid tweaking, jackhammer techno or oddball outliers, you could count on Slegers’ label to point you to the best underground club music coming out of the Netherlands. With four more, equally extensive, volumes to come in this series, Djax-Up-Beats 1990-2005 is a thorough exploration of a true totem of techno culture — a renegade label that operated on its own terms and carried surprises and slammers in equal measure.
Oráculo Records has always had a special interest in pushing electronic music towards unexplored territories, and it is precisely within this microcosm that IP307 emerges. Blending the most dub-infused and mechanical forms of electro with industrial, EBM and even post-punk, the project delivers a hypnotic, forceful and deeply cathartic sound. Behind IP307 is Israel Padilla, founder of Banshees Records and one of the leading figures of the industrial scene in the Iberian Peninsula. With “IP307.1”, he presents six interconnected compositions, each with its own distinct identity while contributing to a coherent vision of seemingly opposing styles, reimagined into a singular language.
J.S. Zeiter comes through heavy on Accelerate EP, four cuts built for deep pressure and late-night motion. Raw grooves, sharp textures, no filler — just straight underground energy from start to finish. A serious weapon for heads into stripped-back, hypnotic techno.
In the Qaraqalpaq language, Äwlep signifies a breath of air so slight it is almost felt before it is heard. It carries a quality of profound tenderness – a presence that is tangible yet fragile. Josef Tumari explores Äwlep as a sensory threshold, using sound to trace the vanishing edges of the Aral basin. This unfolds as an evolving acoustic landscape, shaped by fragments of voices, archival echoes, and the natural resonance of the region. By gathering these acoustic traces, Tumari creates a resonant environment where memory and imagination unfold, inviting the audience to inhabit the space between what was lost and what still breathes.
VRIL returns to Delsin with KRUX. The crucial point, the moment where everything converges. On KRUX, a new direction was chosen, built on the strong foundation of VRIL’s dub-driven sound. For the first time, VRIL presents multiple artist collaborations on his new album. Working closely with friends and fellow musicians has been a crucial part of shaping KRUX where five collaborations with Aurora Halal, Verraco, René Wise, AZARI and ATEQ form the core of a 13-track journey. Framed once again by the visionary artwork of Daniel Martin Diaz, KRUX captures a moment of convergence: between generations, humans and machines. Fusing past, present and future into a singular moment.
Serasso returns to his roots. Following his recent releases, the producer turns to the classic Italo House sound he grew up on, delivering a four-track EP titled “Sulla Spiaggia” (PER003). The release is built on warm synth pads, pulsing basslines, and a classic, musical groove. Serasso strips away unnecessary frills in favor of pure form – the four tracks serve as a direct homage to the 90s Italian sound and the raw character of that era. It marks a return to his original inspirations and the musical starting point from which his entire work evolved.
Protocolo SysEx returns to Distrito 91 with “Singularity” EP, the second chapter of the trilogy started with “Geometría Virtual”. Seven tracks exploring the point where artificial intelligence crosses the threshold into superintelligence. All signals encoded and programmed by Fabio Vinuesa at D91 HQ Madrid, 2026.
S H I S H I presents ‘A New World To Cry’ EP by French artist Nasdrowie. The EP features four tracks focusing on Industrial Techno, EBM and Dark Wave.
