Fasme and Quadratschulz join forces for a very special record: Ghost in the Machine. Finding cacophony and harmony through their blinking music boxes, these two knobtwiddlers melt genres. Through live jam sessions, a week of braindance shenanigans, the pair emerged from a Hamburg studio with five spurofthemoment cuts. Bubbles of acid pop, dreamy notes float, keys dash and race as robotic voices slice through this helter-skelter interplay of melody and percussion. A celebration of impromptu experimentation where analogue alchemy reacts with impulsive energy

As one of the most distinctive-sounding producers on the electro music scene, Luxus Varta once again reaffirms his signature style by combining solid rhythm sections with rich textures and pop melodies, all with an underground and experimental touch that is both refreshing and unique. "Super Filter" is the fifth release on the artist's label, In Abstracto.
EPM round off their 25th year celebrations with a stunning compilation featuring exclusive tracks from Marcel Dettmann, Robert Hood, Donato Dozzy, DJ Godfather, Nadia Struiwigh, Mark Broom, IMOGEN, Madben and more. The first track to drop ahead of the compilation release on 27 November is this tough electro banger from Detroit Ghetto Tech legend, DJ Godfather. 'Ready For Battle' is exactly that. A party thrown down call to arms from the mighty turntablist. Backed by a bonus '909 Mix' - Godfather brings us two choices to destroy the dancefloor. Select your weapon!
Step into the backroom of the Bordello, the lights dim and the soundtrack adopts a different tone. L.F.T. leans against the wall. Nestled under his arm, Sonic Boom: four tracks of acid-inflected electro disruption. Love, Fist, Tears is no stranger to the more gnarled side of the machines, and that unadulterated rawness is evident from the needle drop of Locked in My Head. From its bent and buckled intro, the track launches a beat that punches before drawing the listener in for more. Vocoder lyrics are mangled with distortion, static soaked chords blighted by corrosive chemicals and industrial decay as the knives are drawn from the outset (and this is only the beginning). Blistered and cracked beats are doused in a pestilent haze for Las Plagas and a message of intent is firmly stated: there will be no let up on Sonic Boom, no reprieve. Ningen opens the flip. Grisly, petrol smeared beats splutter below a juddering synthline that coils and twists with serpentine menace. A probing tom is lanced before being set alight in the finale. Sinister and unsettling, Schmutzig Personality is as physically powerful as it is psychologically gripping. Barrages of drums rain down, barbed snares and sharpened claps, as an assault of acid is further weaponised by machined vocals. L.F.T. doing what he does with an EP that will leave bodies and speakers broken.
Cultivated Electronics Celebrates 20 Years with Landmark 50th Release Signal Type reunite for CE050, with remixes from Radioactive Man, Silicon Scally and Morphology Cultivated Electronics celebrates two decades at the forefront of electro with its landmark 50th release on the main label, returning to the very beginning with a new release from Signal Type the collaborative project of label head Sync 24 and Matt Whitehead. The anniversary EP pays homage to the sound that launched Cultivated Electronics back on CE001 A1, with Signal Type delivering Breakthrough, a snappy, driving and psychedelic electro workout built firmly for the dancefloor. Funky, spacey and packed with the restless energy that has defined the label since its inception, the track feels both like a nod to CE's roots and a statement of where the label stands today. The celebrations continue with three remixes from long-standing Cultivated Electronics collaborators and influential figures within the electro scene. Keith Tenniswood a.k.a. Radioactive Man, brings an old-school, Mad Mike-esque Underground Resistance flavour to his rework, injecting the original with raw Detroit-inspired energy and machine-driven propulsion. Carl A. Finlow, operating under his Silicon Scally moniker, takes things deeper, delivering a heady after-hours interpretation built around immersive, late-night club sonics. Rounding out the EP, Finnish electro pioneers Morphology deliver a hypnotic, '90s-inspired roller, bringing their distinctive analogue sensibility and futuristic groove to the original. The vinyl edition arrives on blue marbled translucent coloured vinyl, housed in a full-sleeve package featuring artwork from Geometric Love. From its first release to its 50th on the main label, Cultivated Electronics has remained dedicated to forward-thinking electro, connecting classic machine funk with contemporary club sounds. CE050 marks both a celebration of the label's history and a salute to the artists and sounds that continue to shape its future. Here's to another 50 releases.
Freestyle Man continues the journey towards his forthcoming album Vorbeiflug with second single "PRO8E." Presented here in a slightly shorter version than the forthcoming album cut, "PRO8E" moves through hypnotic electronics, electro rhythms and the atmospheric, introspective sound that runs through the new Freestyle Man material. On the flip, "Dominant Dorm" takes the release into another corner of the same universe, adding a second piece of deep, leftfield machine music. Vorbeiflug, the full Freestyle Man album, follows on December 4, 2026.
