Phantasy 2
Konx-om-Paxs Phantasy 2 is a mind-bending fusion of modular synthesis, and immersive sound design. Developed alongside a hallucinatory visual performance, the single drifts between the pointillist trance riffs, modular chaos and the melodic nostalgia of Boards of Canada. Scholefield crafts a beatless yet kinetic world where granular textures, analogue synths, and custom-built noise machines collide.

Foundry
Striking out in a new creative direction while retaining her trademark dimensionality and shapeshifter styles, Yu Sus first singles for Short Span set the pace for whats to come in 2026. Folding together certain elements of minimal, the warm shade of downtempo, and the momentum and horsepower of techno, Foundry and Bonita highlight the producer and DJs keen ear for detail and textural variety, carrying the depth and sensitivity which has always made her music so alluring and kaleidoscopic as it twists between genres. But these are also club tracks and the most dance-forward release from Yu in a minute.The two tunes were engineered as exclamation points and decentered grooves when built for live sets throughout 2025 at festivals like Mutek, and serve as a taste of the bossier, growling end of her forthcoming albums full range. In the interim Yu Sus practice has continued to push boundaries. Her Polyphonic Eating series, begun in 2022, has evolved into a transformative approach experimenting with modern culinary environments, applying concepts of Oliveros-inspired deep listening and the heightening of perception through a theatrical marriage of multisensory elements, set in intimate venues. Her relocation from Vancouver to London and immersion in a new location also contributed towards developing perspectives on sounds and sonic inputs that ultimately shaped the direction of these tracks.

Altum
Noumen returns to Central Processing Unit after a six-year absence with Altum. This bumper record, the Ukrainian artists fourth release for the Sheffield label and first since 2019 double-LPObscurium, serves to remind us all why Noumens music has been lauded by the likes of Mixmag and Resident Advisor in the past.Altumis a consummate piece of contemporary electronic production, a technoid exploration of outer-edges electronica that nods to genre greats like Autechre while still maintaining its own unconventional charm. Across well over an hour of music here we find Noumen repeatedly playing punchy mid-tempo beat work off of some more cerebral tuned synths.Altumkicks off with the epic Oion - beginning in that Autechre/AFX mid-tempo zone, full of deep-sea bangs and whirrs, the track slowly builds to a final stretch of delay-drenched keys which set us free amidst the outer cosmos, almost Sun Ra-style. Its a perfect liminal-space roller and an apt scene-setter forAltum. Oion provides a blueprint for several of the albums other highlights - plenty of the joints here adopt that same approach of hitting hard with the drums and soft with the synths. Second track Splitter takes on the baton from Oion while souping up the kick to warehouse levels; the beats in Far Wind splutter like a needle skipping on a mid-90s Tresor drop; Fate Carette, all eerie looped synth leads, is a highlight as the album enters the home straight. The rhythm production (which, it should be noted, is exemplary throughoutAltum) is ratched up in intensity on a handful of numbers. Telemask displays a delightful breakbeat - if youd told me this was sampled from golden age A Tribe Called Quest, Id have believed you. Mid-section anchors Awe and Axis are glitchers in the Mike Paradinas mould, with the latter showing off some pleasing steel pan-esque synth leads for good measure. And whileAltumgenerally maintains a processional pace throughout, there are points where Noumen toughens up the drums for club deployment - Unveilness shows off a real chunkiness in the low end, closer Spurling Sign plays a satisfying rolling groove off of ever-layering synths, and the title-track is an alien machine-funker in keeping with fellow CPU electronauts like Silicon Scally and Cygnus. Noumens third album for Central Processing Unit is a pleasingly hefty double-LP which builds on the zany invention of acts like Modeselektor and Autechre to delightful effect. FFO: Autechre, Aphex Twin, Modeselektor, Bochum Welt, LFO

Girl on Moon
Girl On Moon finds Joe Davies & Johan Kaseta in quiet-propulsion mode: a ~9-minute title track built on a spiraling string motif and a Herbert-leaning rhythm bed-dry, precise, quietly insistent, with a flicker of early Pampa warmth. K-LONE - UK producer and co-head of Wisdom Teeth, reframes the core with added air and light swing, teasing the chords forward with fine-grain percussion; its an elegant bridge between club function and detailed craftsmanship. The EP closes with a beatless dub of AMY from Joes Smallville LP (2023), stripped back to its core beauty. Three complementary cuts; long-game house that holds a room.

Subterra
INDEX:Records is enamoured to present the accomplished debut record by New York City resident, Beau Mahadev 8-parts of dreamy vocals and wet-textured IDM-pop. To some extent, this album arriving at INDEX:Records has been over 3 years in the making: we were first introduced to Beaus work at GLOB in Denver (during our USA tour in 2023), at an event hosted by a dear friend, filled with lovely peeps. We were totally blown away by Beaus performance and knew within a few minutes of their set starting that we wanted to release an album with them someday. Now, here it is: Subterra. Featuring tasty collaborations with {iii}, Uza Aamo and Yau Hei ASJ.

In Other Words
We dont sit still, bringing you typical Fluid Ounce Music here from our Newyorican - Archtyp. We struggled to put this one in a box, but heres a synopsis: A quirky killer, built of layers of distortion, awkward angular riffs, with glitchy dubbed out spikes all pinned together with a groove that holds on tight, def. one for the more adventurous djs or simple mind tripping on the sofa (works too! - trust me ;0) Best bet - turn it up loud, stretch back and let your mind unwind...

Opacity Code
Johannes Motschmann combines classical compositional craft with a distinctive electronic voice. His work spans ambient soundscapes, experimental live electronics, and AI-assisted composition (referring only to AION2 written with the Software he had developed himself at German national radio station SWR), always shaped by his background in piano and contemporary music. Alongside his orchestral and chamber works, Motschmann has released several acclaimed electronic albums that highlight this unique fusion: Electric Fields (2016) electro-acoustic landscapes blending analog synths and piano Lifestream (2019) handcrafted electronica performed without loops or samples AION 2 (2022) an exploration of artificial intelligence as a co-composer His upcoming solo EP on Traum continues this trajectory, putting the focus firmly on his electronic side while carrying forward his deep compositional sensibility. With his Opacity Code release, Johannes Motchmann explores the interplay between clarity and obscurity in sound. By layering acoustic and electronic elements like an orchestra, he creates textures where transparency and masking coexist, leading to both intentional and accidental new soundscapes. Quote from Johannes Motschmann: Lately Ive been working a lot with acoustic instruments and somehow I always have a naturalistic and also a bit retrospective sound in mind for the electronic music I make. I always mix all kinds of synths until I get a mixed sound similar to an orchestra, where you dont always know immediately which instruments are involved when you first hear it. Just as in painting where you get many new colors by mixing the basic colors, I also proceed in arranging and mixing new tracks. Many factors determine whether an element becomes audible at all: the volume, the frequencies, the environment, everything influences each other. So when I try to make everything transparent and make the sounds shine, there is sometimes the exact opposite effect of too many layers masking each other. It can be annoying sometimes but as a side effect this often results in new soundscapes, some of which were perhaps not even planned. While working on Opacity Code, I was really looking for moments like this, so that in addition to passages of complete clarity, there are also episodes of only mysterious impression, so that you can feel how behind all the soundscapes there are still other levels that you can gradually track down.

And the Make Believers
Eden Burns releasing his debut Album titled Eden Burns & The Makebelievers. The dance musics prophet, notorious for his ingenious string of club tracks (if you dont follow -> check the Big Beat Manifesto), is gifting the world with yet another, cult creating musical adventure. Ecstatic beats, melodies that cast a spell on you, if there ever was something to truly, blindly believe in: its the power of music? Be Free, set foot into the garden of Eden. All apples are to be bitten, the snakes venom is mildly hallucinogenic. Get your eyes opened for everything that is true enough and beyond. Bless.

Spider Of Easton
Silver Waves is the longstanding project of Dylan Mallett. A producer based in Bristol, his practice encompasses aspects of electroacoustic composition, audio engineering and improvisation. Amongst releases on Berlins Portals Editions (Maria W Horn, Yair Elazar Glotman), Silver Waves has soundtracked independent video games and contributed to contemporary art pieces (Kleins Lifetime for Serpentine Galleries), as well as composing for multi-channel surround sound performance. Following technical credits on releases from AD93, Drowned By Locals and two Acne Studios collections, European shows with Liturgy, aya and Moor Mother and extensive collaborations with free improv vocalist Dali de Saint Paul, Silver Waves presents debut album Aninstar via Mun Sing & NE$$s label Illegal Data. Aninstar embodies a quest for rebirth via transitory states. Taking root during a four-month stint in Llandudno, it tells tales of a stray dog as it journeys through an underworld, conjures viking funeral sea-scapes from shoreline voice notes and liminal crossroads punctuated by whispered meditations. Forming sonic allegories for the stories in Dylans surroundings, its six tracks emanate from coastal field recordings, pneumatic drill foley, chopped and screwed vocal takes and gnarled string instruments - landing somewhere between industrial shoegaze, sound collage and new age folklore. In late 2024, the debut Silver Waves Trio performance was commissioned by Batus En Masse Festival, manifesting a live premiere of Aninstar in the tunnels of Bristols Loco Klub featuring double bassist Jo Kelly and avant-percussionist Dan Johnson, with lighting design by rxx_tx.

Obsolescence
Welcome to Pfefferkorn: a countryside studio hidden inside a former 1950s café. The stylish interior stayed, the cake display is gone, but the mountain panorama is still very much in place. Out of this unlikely combination cameObsolescence,Featers new album and a record that wasnt supposed to happen, but insisted on doing so anyway.Originally, Pfefferkorn hosted a merry-go-round of guests and genres: jazz, kraut, pop, experiments, even the occasional field recording. Among the many, Mara Oldofredi aka Mietze Conte became the most frequent and inspiring visitor. Their sessions set sparks, and one of them, Trio, landed directly on the album.The method? Call it instant archaeology: live jams on two-track tape, then pushed through edits, resampling, Fairlight IIX sorcery, and endless tape-laptop relays. Quick, raw, and without too much overthinking, more sketch than sculpture, more instinct than intent.The result isObsolescence,a record born out of detours, made for personal delight, and proof that side products can be main courses if you let them.

The album evokes the intimacy that settles in with the fading light of day, and the quiet distance that lingers at sunrise after a long, sleepless night.

Happen
Hot seducers. Two of them. The A-Side is called Happen. It comes from prolific Tokyo based DJ and producer Hoshina Anniversary. A simple drum machine groove, a manic melody, witching siren sounds, psychedelic voices, some soft chords, and soulful high-pitched singing, somewhere between Dam-Funk coolness and Ian Svenonius-The-Make-Up sixties pop longing. One for warm sexy nights under neon lights. Out there in psychic realms. The flip brings a Dolphins interpretation. Yes, that feverish trio behind R.i.O., consisting of Nadia DAlò, Benedikt Frey and Menqui. Their freshly recorded version comes with haunting nonchalant singing, displaying the tunes core melody as a more prominent actor of the play. Michael-Mann-Pop-Nostalgia with a baroque touch, that waves dark-ish. Even some Jon Hassle feeling is in there. Hoshina Anniversary disclosed, that the original song is inspired by jazz musicians like Chet Baker, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Jaco Pastorius and Keith Jarrett. None of them is directly stylistically audible. But their kind of blue is all over. On the A as well as on the B. Twice soul music for the free.

Oneiroid
SOMA Labs Music presents a release that blurs the boundaries between dream, reality, and chance - Oneroid. The name refers to the phenomenon of oneiroids - dreamlike hallucinations in which a person becomes both participant and explorer of their own visions, losing all sense of time and space. This very state - the highest form of immersion, where the listener and music merge into a single whole - forms the core of the album created by SVEFNLAUS. Music as an Organic Process, Chance as Method. This is not a traditional composition, but an avant-garde sonic experiment inspired by 20th-century legacy and John Cages philosophy on the role of chance in art. The environment, mood, and listeners perception are just as important as the sounds themselves: compositions arise in the moment, events are not pre-programmed but emerge spontaneously, as in Cages 4:33. Each piece is like a living being, like a flower growing in response to light, shadow, and the circumstances of its surroundings. This concept is also reflected visually - with plants depicted on the album cover. There are no rigidly set sequences or templates in this album: SVEFNLAUS shapes the sound in real time. Acoustic instruments (saxophone, guitar), field recordings (street noises, birdsong) intertwine with electronic flows to form a unified sonic tapestry. The main instrumental framework of the setup consists of SOMA Laboratory synthesizers and devices (FLUX, LYRA-8, ETHER, and others), used without computers or DAWs, entirely performed live. Oneroid is music as inspiration, music as question, music as exploration. It is an invitation to experience the boundary between the conscious and unconscious, to feel how the interaction of environment, instrument, and human thought weaves into a unique sonic experience.

All The Time
With All The Time, Broj return to the forefront of emotive electronic music, presenting a deeply personal exploration of how we experience time. After a period of quiet reflection since their 2022 release Brothers, the Amsterdam-based duo channel their creative energy into three distinct compositions, each weaving intricate rhythms with heartfelt storytelling. Released on Berlins Nie Wieder Schlafen, this EP offers a sound that feels both timeless and strikingly contemporary. Opening the journey, Still introduces a rich palette of organic textures, layered field recordings, and emotive melodies. The track unfolds with cinematic grace, balancing tension and release, while evoking the desire to hold onto fleeting moments of calm in a fast-moving world. Every detail resonates with intention, inviting listeners to slow down and immerse themselves. The title track, All The Time, marks a defining evolution for Broj. For the first time, they step behind the microphone, using their own voices as an instrument of vulnerability and strength. Built on lo-fi grooves and psychedelic undertones, the song transforms a sense of urgency into a mantra of acceptance, reminding us that our relationship with time is one we can shape. With an unconventional structure and bold sonic choices, it stands as one of the duos most personal and adventurous productions to date. Moment shifts towards a heavier, club-ready energy. Fueled by gritty breakbeat rhythms and dense synth layers, it captures the restless spirit of city life. A powerful spoken word performance by London poet James Messiah cuts through the haze, delivering a poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of experience. Rising and falling with orchestral intensity, the track leaves the listener in a space where the beauty and melancholy of the present moment coexist. With All The Time, Broj invite us to pause, reflect, and embrace the now — reminding us that within lifes relentless pace, there is always room to find stillness and meaning.
