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.

Patricia – Y Try LP [ATLP19]

Patricia clocks back in at Acid Test with ‘Y Try’, a six-track Mini-LP, neatly packed, no detours. The brief was never complicated. Big room Patty business, plain and simple. The A-side aims straight for the main room, the flip takes things deeper.

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’.

DJ Slush / Dretraxx – Signal Phase Decay [PREP02]

Polytechnic Recordings – sublabel of Disctechno Music – presents a split EP of jacking house and psychedelic rhythms from Detroit’s DJ Slush and Dretraxx. Label co-founder DJ Slush follows up his Model Collapse EP with 2 jacking, sleazy, 80’s-tinged house tracks with garbled vocal samples on A1 and B2. Dretraxx – head of Detroit’s acid-forward Body Worx party – delivers dubbed out modular grooves and on A2. On B1, Interdimensional Transmissions’ BMG remixes Dretraxx for the No Way Back Mix, with some freaky heart-pumping analog techno. Recommended for fans of Midwest rhythms.

He enhances the original’s relentless energy with an overall crisp lift. The 1989 floor filler’s is given high-end effervescence contributing to the peak-time energy, giving the track a mechanical bite.

Mr. Ho – Team Player [CABARET041]

Berlin banger bringer and Klasse Wrecks co-boss Mr. Ho distils the restless, genre-fluid instincts that have defined both his DJ sets and his label output, having always served a bridge between Hong Kong and European underground scenes. Here the sense is of new, buzzing frontiers: ‘Tight’ and ‘Unfazed’ move stripped and kinetic, with melodic, avian, high-register synths and playful clave taps. Psy energies come checked off on ‘Maybe Not’ and ‘Take Flight’ meanwhile, the latter closing out somewhere between goa, EBM, and acid.

Body System – World Of Lies [OR153]

The origins of Body System date back around 35 years. Dissatisfied with previous experiences, the project was conceived as a meeting point between Sheffield and Detroit techno and German and Belgian body music. At the time, it never fully developed and remained largely an idea, with only a few sketches recorded on DAT. More than three decades later, that original concept has been revived. Following an invitation to contribute the track In Your Mind to the soundtrack of Electronic Body Movie, directed by Pietro Anton, the project was reopened and reworked, taking shape in the present while remaining rooted in its initial vision. These five tracks reflect an awareness of both past and contemporary electronic music, filtered through an undiminished experimental approach and a conscious refusal to adhere to stylistic conventions or predefined genres.
