With clear echoes of house, electro and techno, Some Tools 1 highlights Jacob Stoys renewed interest in the dynamics of the dance floor. Some Tools is more of a sonic collection that captures the Berlin-based artists stream of consciousness rather than the result of a fully-fledged plan. Its his most straightforward set of tunes in ages. Where his recent releases Das unendliche Konstrukt and Overload showcased his experimental side, Some Tools marks a step towards a more sonically adventurous dance club. On the A-Side you have a professional techno bender with dreamlike synth pads which could run forever. A2 leans more into the emotional side of aquatic electro. The flip side comes with the further electro club anthem with Stoy on the vocals. Its one of those tracks you cant get out of your head. B2 drives you home on a noisy layer of textures and 808 grooves. Machines were recorded directly on tape to capture the raw energy and grittiness. A perfect antidote to our over-polished world. These tracks are snapshots of different moments and states of mind, born out of spontaneous jams in early mornings and after long nights with an urge to capture a particular feeling before it disappears again. An environment Jacob Stoy feels most comfortable when making music. The result can feel raw and direct, then suddenly deep and immersive. Electronic dance music as a conversation between machines and oneself, and maybe even a pretty good form of therapy that not only helps the creator but also the listeners.

Clima returns to the Appendix.catalogue, following 2025s Transient State EP with Healing Patterns, their first full-length release for the label. Written between 2025 and 2026, the album takes the discernible dialect of Transient State and crystallizes it into a language that is distinctly their own. On these seven tracks; Clima, using palatial pads, slow decaying echo and bodily low-end, creates the space for themself to reminisce over club ambience those suspended hours spent listening alongside others while motifs phasing in and out of focus. Like Clima's other works theres a vast sense of space to Healing Patterns; long compositions allow you to drift while intricate details capture your focus. The first track Weight fades in with a gradual dub-heavy pressure, establishing the albums physical center of gravity, while Transmute flecked with ASMR-like vocal glitter, plunges into valleys of synth-atmosphere. Flipping the disc, Aperture provides tight, rhythmic clusters and more energetic phrasing before Clarity takes that energy and deconstructs it, dissipating tension across space. The album's title refers to the repetition inherent in both music and recovery: patterns forming, breaking, and reforming. Created during a period when chronic illness severely limited the artist's ability to explore the outside world, Healing Patterns is an album about finding movement in restriction. It serves as a sonic exploration of limitation (the namesake of the closing track), trying to find beauty in what remains after so much has been stripped away.

Electronic musician nthng presents his fifth album, Last Light of the Sun, his debut release on topo2. Renowned for his meticulous productions and quietly distinctive artistic voice, nthng continues to move effortlessly between ambient, IDM, dub techno, and drum & bass without ever feeling bound by genre. Last Light of the Sun shows that the album format is a natural home for nthng's expansive musical vision. Throughout its ten compositions, the album moves gracefully between dreamlike melodic passages, restrained, fragile 4/4 structures, melancholic drum & bass punctuated by vintage house vocal fragments, and spacious ambient compositions that feel unmistakably his own. The double LP is released by adventurous electronic music label topo2 on October 2, 2026. The record is pressed on two 180-gram discs of ICCS-certified bio-vinyl and housed in a heavyweight full-colour gatefold sleeve.

With Flow Tide, Artefakt returns to their trusted Delsin homebase and continues where they left off with their last Brain Dripper EP from 2022; a flawless fusion of melancholic electronica and impeccable techno grooves. The A-Side emphasizes organic and mysterious atmospheres, strengthened by the rippling rhythms of the sea. The B-Side picks up the pace and presents two excellent, reverberating techno trips. Its a well-rounded package from Artefakt, as we know it, comprising many moods and sounds, molding them into its own unique universe. Flow Tide also also marks a significant change in their long-standing recording career. Having produced and performed as a duo since 2012, this is the first EP produced solely by Nick Lapien, marking a new chapter for the project as he continues Artefakts live performances as a solo artist.
