Part of a rising wave of young American producers pushing underground beats in their own direction, California's own Braydon Terzo joins the Black Book Records roster with an impressive two-track release. His records have quickly earned the attention of artists like Mau P, Cloonee, Chris Stussy, and Jamie Jones and we've been patiently waiting for the right release to bring him to the label. 'Get Ruff,' a track that has found its way into Sosa's Coachella set, where it became one of the most replayed moments from the performance on YouTube. The record has also received support from Adam Ten at EDC and Chris Lake during his Under the K Bridge shows in New York. Terzo is helping shape a new generation of artists bringing fresh energy to the genre.

Italians Do It Better

Kalahari Oyster Cult

In the seclusion of a house in the Bavarian Forest, something unfolded that felt less like a conventional album production and more like an internal process of condensation. This house wasn't a studio - it was a retreat. Its 1960s-inspired interiors, creaking wooden stairs, and crackling fireplace shaped the sound of Carl Gari as much as the instruments themselves. Though the house no longer exists, its atmosphere remains present in the recordings. The music of Carl Gari - Jonas Yamer, Till Funke, and Jonas Friedlich - resists easy categorization, a trait that continues on this monumental new album. From the friction between electronic music and guitar textures, the trio forges a distinctive, idiosyncratic sound. Distorted electric guitars and pulsating basslines intertwine with analog drum machines, tape delays, and intricate effect chains, creating music that is raw, organic, and psychedelic. A new element on the album is the trio's first use of vocals: Jonas Yamer, usually on bass, raises his voice in a punk-tinged, invented language that hints rather than narrates, unsettling more than it explains. The guest artists do not merely decorate the sound - they alter its very structure at critical points. Polygonia contributes layered vocals that mesh seamlessly with the album's technoid architecture. Will Brooks of Dälek delivers a dark rap feature on 'Poison Shyness (Anti-Social)', his words carving the sonic space with precision. Coby Sey adds introspective vocals that hover between experimentation and restraint on 'Inner Link'. New York rap pioneer Sensational introduces a deliberately rough, individual counterpoint on 'Disco Lights', while the German percussionist Simon Popp drives the album forward with an uncompromising drum performance that insists rather than accompanies on 'Zeitesser'. The cover photographs, taken by Jonas Yamer, project images of corridors onto paintings located in the now demolished house where the album was recorded. Visually, this reflects a key motif of the album: spaces exist only as overlays and echoes - not mystical ghosts, but traces of a place that has physically vanished.

Funny Business

Following her debut EP on Hot Creations, Kristin Velvet keeps the momentum going with a new two-tracker, Get It Right / Fantasy Ecstasy, landing April 24 on Arms & Legs. Get It Right is a hypnotic club weapon built around a rolling bassline and captivating vocal snippets, primed for peak-time dancefloors while balancing groove and atmosphere with Velvet's trademark finesse. On the flip, Fantasy Ecstasy shifts into more electro-leaning territory - a crisp, characterful cut that showcases her versatility and refusal to be boxed into a predictable sonic lane. Together, the two tracks underline Kristin Velvet's ability to move fluidly between club-focused house and more adventurous electronic territory.

DYSTORTION Extrawelts Latest and Longest-Brewing Album Lands This December on Cocoon In this beautiful world marked by rising chaos, sometimes the simplest way to escape its troubles is through sonic relief. Germanys renowned electronic duo Extrawelt will offer exactly that with their 5th full-length album, DYSTORTION, via Cocoon Recordings this December. For over two decades, the humble duo behind Extrawelt, who shy away from making music for clicks, have been a steadfast presence in electronic music. Known as serious studio and tour-focused artists who craft timepiece albums, each a work of enduring craft, that go on to create atmospheric, out-of-the-box live acts, theyve been shaping and redefining electronica since their first release. DYSTORTION is their most diverse and evocative album to date. Imagined over six years and shaped by a world in flux through COVID, political upheavals, social media, and AI, it reflects the contrasts and twists weve all felt while offering surges of serenity and hope. From brooding tension to playful relief, it moves through different states in an evolved Extrawelt manner. The albums opening credit, Grand Départ, as if a cinematic prelude, invites us into a world of creeping bass, an explicitly Extrawelt sound thats synonymous with the anti-genre genre they work within. The albums second track, Clapland, sees Extrawelt joining forces with Jimi Jules, a name synonymous with excellence in electronic music, creating a rare collaboration that is felt in every note. Soon, the mood shifts into softer melodies as heard in Surrounded By Miracles, Hope Sounds Good, and Sir Stringalot, which bring bright euphorics to balance the darker moments in an album echoed by industrial influences. Later, as Dystortion (the albums title track) unfolds, were drawn into something few electronic artists can create: raw emotion. This is a gritty landscape as reflective as it is pulsing, glitchy, intense, and richly textured. DYSTORTION is a reflection of a complex, divided world, carried through dramatically with Extrawelts signature techno tension. Like the world right now, it is full of contradictions, surprises, and moments of introspection, an essential listen for fans of mature electronic music that may or may not need a reminder of why, after 20 years, were still listening.
