G-Man – Moonbase Alpha LP [NEXUS001]
Circuitry Electronic launches with a release that stands as a statement of intent – an artist with few true peers within English electronic music, with an album that jumps out of the speakers and slaps you around the chops. G-Man is Gez Varley – one half of Sheffield pioneers LFO, and thirty years into his solo career, with his first vinyl album release since Avanti on Force Inc way back in 2002.

Protocol SysEx – Geometria Virtual [D91015]
“Geometria Virtual” documents a scenario in which mechanisms of control cease to function as external layers and instead become the very foundation of the system. The album does not propose a future dystopia, but rather a reality in which decision-making is automated and artificial intelligence is established as a structure of social control. Protocolo SysEx, a project by Fabio Vinuesa, is conceived as a narrative and sonic framework from which to examine the political and philosophical implications of a world governed by artificial intelligence. The release includes reinterpretations by Boris Divider and Heinrich Mueller and constitutes the first chapter of a trilogy focused on the progressive normalization of algorithmic control.
JSPRV35 – Transmission EP [ELECTRO003]
Amsterdam technomancer JSPRV35 pimps his spoilers and slams the accelerator, having overcome his identity transition and settling into regular ‘Transmission’ through Planet Rhythm. The new EP is great, occupying a frighteningly, urgently aggressive metal space, as we scrabble for a safe footing in which to dance between chattering gears, slamming pistons and free-flying swarf. Choice fave: ‘Endless’.
