Space Is Inside EP
For ALT015, we welcome the fabled DMX Krew for a second time. The Space Is Inside EP accurately reflects the artists multiple decennia in the studio, shaping his aesthetics on the axis of electro, techno and synthpop. On Vicious Windows, a distinct lead pierces through the ominous, unison-drenched synths stabs and square waves. As the track progresses, we are kept on our toes by drum fills that sound like hydraulic valves releasing pressure and subtle detune slider fiddling. The hot and sweaty Bass box combines zap-like bass patterns with even more jittery synth work, while the titular woofer addresses us in a vocoder voice. Warm Places echoes Dutch West Coast, and although concise, sufficient melody and modulated drums are snuck in to immediately reveal the artists hand. On Space Is Inside dark chords interplay with a wistful FM bass melody. Subtle bursts of synth sparkle keep everything rooted in silky melancholy. While the strings on Mental Disturbance are also gloomy, the lead is more frantic. The 303s modulation is constant, and slowly flanged snare drums try their best keeping it in line. Closer Tunnel Beneath Precinct 11 sure doesnt tone down either. The spooky, reverb-laden synth work collides with a dark, catchy bass, its cutoff and resonance knobs never left untouched. It closes down an EP of machine funk that covers a lot yet manages to shape into a satisfyingly cohesive arc.

In Constant Evolution
Madd Rods third studio album is a celebration of rawness and creative autonomy. Following Sad Behaviour on Discotexas, which laid the foundations for his stylistic shift, In Constant Evolution dives deeper into that transformation. Thirteen tracks move through EBM, Electro, Krautrock, and Indie Dance with a deliberate imperfection: proof that emotion, not precision, is what endures.

Eat You (Patrice Bäumel Remix) / Ups & Downs (Extrawelt Remix)
Eitan Reiter marks the sixth release on his label, Impulse. The two-track record serves as a prelude to his forthcoming retrospective album 20, a collection celebrating two decades of creative milestones. For this edition, he invites two heavyweight names from the German electronic scene, each offering a distinct reinterpretation of his work: Patrice Bäumel and Extrawelt. Bäumel, a German-born and Amsterdam-based producer often described as crafting techno for grown-ups, brings his signature balance of precision and emotional restraint. Extrawelt, the Hamburg duo of Arne Schaffhausen and Wayan Raabe, is famous for their genre-defying approach and forward-thinking sound design. The release opens with Bäumels reimagining of Eat You, stretching across twelve minutes and fifty-two seconds. Despite its length, the piece unfolds with seamless momentum—psychedelic yet meticulously structured. Layered frequencies and evolving textures create a sense of continuous motion, immersing the listener in an alternate dimension. Bäumel preserves the emotional core of Reiters original while imprinting it with his own disciplined and hypnotic sensibility. In contrast, Extrawelts remix of Ups & Downs charts a different course. Infused with elements of Electronic Body Music (EBM), their version thrives on unpredictability—trippy modulations, abrupt pauses, and oscillating rhythms that constantly shift the listeners footing. The result feels like Reiters composition magnified and distorted, bursting with kinetic energy and a sense of controlled chaos. More than a simple remix release, Eat You / Ups & Downs captures the essence of Reiters twenty-year creative journey. It not only revisits his past but expands his musical universe through the unique perspectives of two of electronic musics most inventive artists.

From The Pit EP
Co-Accused Records return this autumn with From The Pit, a four-track EP from Paris-born, Berlin-based producer SOD-90 that seeks out connections between electro, industrial, breakbeat and EBM. Locking into the raw, gritty range of distortion that defines his sound, the release also features a remix from Hamburgs L.F.T. and follows SOD-90s label debut with Saving Up For Botox last year. A classically trained flautist, professional musician and teacher, SOD-90s electronic production has become an increasingly vital part of his daily life. Working almost exclusively with hardware, his tracks emerge from spontaneous sessions as a channel for emotional release, fuelled by bursts of adrenaline and a need to counterbalance the refinement of classical music. Distortion, for him, is a way to dig deeper into timbre and sonic depth, pulling distinctive textures out of his machines. Opener Fugitive Passagere sets the tone with driving kick drums, distorted vocal fragments and full-throttle energy aimed straight at the club. L.F.T. s remix twists it into a dark electro moment, layering a jagged bassline over razor sharp beats. On the B side, Muzzle goes all-in on blown-out distortion and breakbeat force, before closer Rust Fountain moves into complex, off-kilter territory with ricocheting synths and layered percussion.

Avian
In an intricate lattice of ever-evolving electro exploration, Samuel Van Dijk is back on Delsin with a new EP. Under his VC-118A alias, the Helsinki based producer presents a richly textured, cinematic strain of machine funk that reaches beyond dancefloor functionality to test the expressive potential locked within electros crisp rhythmic framework. Theres a melancholic mood hovering over Avian as Van Dijk allows a subtle edge of distortion to creep into his flickering drum programming. The end result is a pensive sound that touches on the moodiness of orchestral composition, unfurling patiently across extended run times without losing focus. With his characteristic attention to detail and broad dynamic range, Van Dijk continues to offer up a sophisticated, emotionally-charged strain of electro like no other.

Blending digital and analog textures until boundaries dissolve, Passarani channels the pure techno pulse of the Roman school into stories of alien landscapes, fierce struggles, and fleeting moments of beauty, from shadowy promised lands to love songs for the unknown.

DATA LOSS
Lambratech kicks off a new trilogy starting with Footclans devastating EP Data Loss. Rooted in the raw energy of old school electro and ghetto, Footclan strips things down to the essentials: 808 drum beats and sample grooves built for the floor. Data Loss celebrates the foundations of the genre while reworking them with the punch and precision of todays underground sound. Backed by a heavyweight roster of remixers, the EP explodes across continents: Detroits Filthiest channels raw electro-bass grit, Wachita China drops razor-sharp rhythms, The Deserter mutates the flow into distorted industrial landscapes, Bocabeats injects Latin-infused grooves, EQ Why pushes the ghetto sounds to the extreme in a footwork key, and UnoTurbo twists the signal into modular madness. Together, these tracks set the stage for the Lambratech trilogy — a neon-lit journey into data corruption, machine mutation, and total collapse. Data Loss is the breach. The virus is in. The system wont recover. Art by ERA Master by Riccardo Baldoni

Time Dilation
The sound for the Sir Hiss project, honed and fully realised on this album, developed after a US tour for the books with Sam Binga and Addison Groove, featuring almost exclusively back-to-back sets, fusing Hisss signature selections with music beyond his usual focus at the time. This push to newer sounds from Sam Binga and Addison Groove became realised in Hiss new production mindset as his approach began incorporating much more hardware, such as his Vermona DRM1, heavily featured on this project. After his sonic experimentation grew, alongside the bolstering of his hardware arsenal, the idea of creating his first long form project, centered around the collision of his past and present, inspired the name and concept for the album, Time Dilation. Drawing on his history in Bristol, his passion for foundational pirate radio, and the wide spectrum of music across global movements, Hiss brings together distinct sounds united by a common ethos. The album consists of 10 Tracks (12 Tracks if you know where to find them…) all unique in their own right, from Electro mutations, aggressively flanged drum workouts, distorted Dancehall sluggers, alien Devils Mixes and Grime infused Brazilian Funk… all-killer-no-filler time warpers ready for the club, space and beyond… Distributed by Label Engine - www.label-engine.com

AFM003
Activity FM return with their 3rd release - bringing together the sounds of UK techno and Spanish electro on this next VA EP. AFM003 sees the Bogota-Berlin collective continue in their mission to present music from different corners of club music in this new four-track showcase of raw, analog-driven electro and techno energy. Jerome Hill is up first, long established DJ famed for his turntablism meets techno style since the 90s and boss of Super Rhythm Trax and Dont. Baptised is tough from the off, launching in off classic rave stabs with an unforgiving, system punching kick drum. Next up is Lukes Anger, the second UK artist repping here and one closely tied to Hill - launching his own releases off Dont in 2008. Here he takes his classic sound and Chicago House influence with sharp and punchy techno jacker - Babe You Dont Have Time. The next half of the EP is turned over to two talents from the Spanish world of classic vocoder electro. Gente Seria Baila Chandal co-founder and Spanish Electro legend Dark Vektors offering Recorreindo El Trayecto is the perfect example of dark electro funk. Laden with gliding synths and sci fi Spanish vocals it comes with a touch of pure class and bounce. Closing things out is elusive Madrid based producer Computer Madness with his hardware analogue sound. We Orbit holds true to this with its tight drum programming, eerie synth stabs and a stripped-back electro groove.

Killing Culture
Bristol-based producer Zobol lands on Brooklyn imprint Melodize with Killing Culture - a bold, four-track statement that fuses electro, breaks, and electronica into something raw, physical, and emotionally charged. Known as one half of the label Distorted Sensory Perception and as curator of the UK underground event series d3pth_p3rc3pti0n, Zobol brings a fiercely independent, hands-on ethos to his productions. Built entirely on hardware - including the Korg MS20, Roland JX-3P, Prophet Rev2, Acidlab Drumatix, Behringer TD-3, Elektron Octatrack, Soundcraft Signature MTK12 console, and finished in Ableton Live - the EP captures a live-wire energy that feels both urgent and immersive. The EP opens with Uprising, a track that sets a hopeful tone with flickers of brightness woven through its punchy rhythms - like the first sparks of something much bigger. Extrawelt reshapes the track with warm bass and swirling atmospheres, lending a more introspective, drifting character. Known for their decade-spanning contribution to electronic music - from their iconic debut on Border Community to defining live performances worldwide - the German duo once again deliver with a remix steeped in depth and analog soul. The B-side turns heavier. Weapon of Mass Distraction unfolds from a looping synth fragment, slowly ramping into a tense, bass-driven groove that hits like controlled bursts of energy - Relentless, exacting & distractingly armored with acidity. Closing track Oppression dives deeper into emotional terrain: the weight of distorted low-end channels the presence of authoritarian force, while fragile melodic elements flicker like voices struggling to be heard - eventually weakening, fading, and falling into silence. As shattered cultures bleed beneath a technocratic sky, the silenced cries of Palestine, Sudan, Yemen and other forgotten lands echo a world where humanitys dawn is cruelly denied; a stark testament to faltering global systems, demanding urgent change before the irreversible erosion of our shared future

Journalist Ben Murphy has called his style Intricate, melodic and bewitching while giving him a 9/10 review in DJ Mag. He is a regular guest at Berlins renowned techno club, Tresor, who released a recording of his live performance at their 34th anniversary event in March 2025, Londons FOLD and festivals across Europe. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of his first release, Emile Facey presents Feeding the Machines, his fifth album on Plant43 Recordings and the culmination of his work to date. These ten tracks explore Emiles passion for electro, drum and bass and techno. Of Feeding The Machines Emile said: I love a precise, machine-made sound but with this album I wanted to foreground the human so I recorded multiple passes of phrases from hardware synths, each one capturing my physical movements in real time. The slight differences in each layer creates this organic texture to the tracks, giving it a looseness or imperfection. Humans are weird and its that unpredictability that makes us interesting.Juno said: Feeding The Machines is full of signature excellence, from the lithe rhythms of Information Decay to the jittery drums and introspective chords of Anthropomorphic Algorithms via the dark, hurried urgency of the paranoid Absolute Inertia. This is another long player that is as adventurous as it is emotive and cinematic.

Having forged many strong musical ties with other European countries over many years, the UKs vote to leave the EU left him feeling disconnected and saddened. Now that the UK has left the EU and musicians try to navigate the impact on electronic music, a culture that thrives on being completely interlinked he felt it was time to release this track that expresses that sadness but also conveys some hope for a future in which music can connect us all again. The driving urgency of Ancient Voice follows, future electro designed to move dance floors when they return. Closing track The Silent Flock is a slower, more contemplative expression of discovery and hope.

Cosmic Dramasets its stall out from the off. The opening run of Alien, World Construction and Virtual State all deliver piston-snapping beats which anchor pleasing melanges of B-movie synth lines. Alongside this, Blackploid adds little flourishes which add buoyancy to each joint - a syncopated bassline reminiscent of I-fs late-90s classic Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass, crackling robo-voiced commands, skittering synth chords which wash across the mix and so on. Its the work of someone completely at ease with their craft, comfortable enough to take risks without upsetting the apple cart of their sounds core appeal. Blackploids idiosyncratic approach to synth work is something which distinguishesCosmic Dramafrom the pack. Electro has long been a genre which prides itself on innovation on the keys, but few producers are willing to push their sonics as far as Blackploid does - take the seasick churn of pads and processors on Multiverse, for instance, or the way John Carpenter-esque single-note lines dovetail with gurgling synthetic pulses and eerie, spacious chords on The Lab, a highlight ofCosmic Dramas midsection. Cosmic Dramaskips along at club tempo throughout - every one of these joints will get bodies moving in dark rooms across the galaxy. However, even when tracks maintain their single-minded pursuit of machine-funk perfection, they never forget to deliver on the hooks. Blackploid has lead lines (and counter-melodies) to burn here, and each track knots them together in ever-more intriguing ways as they plough onwards. Drexciyan heads will be thrilled by the sci-fi delights of Species, for instance, while Blackploid brings melodies as cold as they are catchy on the aptly-named Polar Dunes. By the timeCosmic Dramahits upon the vroom-vrooming bassline line of closer Contact, youre fully enthralled to the albums combination of broken-beat heft and synthetic melodiousness. Central Processing Unit mainstay Blackploid comes through with another delightful dozen of electro heaters for the Sheffield label. RIYL:Drexciya, I-f, Cygnus, AFX
