Pacific Coliseum (aka Jamison Isaak) also known as Teen Daze releases his new album, Voice Wave, his first release since 2020's How's Life. The winner of the Juno Awards for Electronic Album of the Year 2023 presents a new work even more immersive than before. Across 12 tracks, the album weaves through a kaleidoscope of different genres and sounds, all with Isaak's characteristic warm production. The album features collaborations with balearic legend Ruf Dug and Italian party starters Eternal Love. Influenced by his love of All Things Balearic, the theme of the album is succinctly summed up in the repeated phrase of the track, "Understanding": "Let go of what you're feeling." Let go, and let the sounds of Voice Wave crash over you.

Break New Soil are beyond excited to release new remixes of an absolute classic tune by none other than Aural Float, the legendary collaboration between Pascal FEOS, Gabriel Le Mar, and Alex Azary. Originally released on their debut album Introspectives on the mighty Elektrolux records back in 1995, South Of The Clouds Pt. 2 quickly became the standout track of the longplayer and an absolute fan favorite as it encapsuled the very essence of the no nonsense hypnotic sound of Frankfurt at the time. On the A-Side, label head honcho Gregor Tresher presents an epic 11-minute journey that pays homage to the timeless original while updating it for the modern-day dancefloor. Through layers and layers of subtle percussion lines, Gregor´s remix builds up over time, with bold breakdowns that gives the distinctive melody line time to breathe, only to eventually culminate in bringing the massive beat back to take things to the next sonic level. On the flip, our good friends Extrawelt deliver another outstanding production once again, that has their signature sound written all over it. The boys respectfully incorporate the original melody line, while perfecting their remix by adding their unmistakable trademark sound and sophisticated beat structures.

Since his early days at Chain Reaction, K. Soublis (Fluxion) has carved his own unique style, combining elements of dub, ambient, techno, score, textural, and even jazz elements, all glued together with his distinct production aesthetic.

"Life Motif," "Nexus," and "Desiderium," to ambient dub pieces, on "Magenta" and "Touch," on to more euphoric and uplifting ones on "Footsteps," "Berlin," and "What Tommorow Brings," reflecting on the artist's need to tell stories. As a whole Haze showcases the artist's versatility on moving and combining different genres with his own distinct crafted sound, bringing a bold, fresh, unique view, making the album an indulging and intriguing listening experience. Fluxion has managed to constantly add to his sound through the years always evolving and Haze is a testament of his restless nature and his need to move towards more uncharted territories without alienating the listener.

Recorded during a residency in Tenerife powered by Keroxen Festival and Discrepant back in 2020 -- amidst the Pandemic, no less -- the duo of Carlos Godinho and Mestre André return after their Mãe D'Água debut on Sucata Tapes and an entry on Keroxen's Aquapelago Series through a split with tropical druids Lagoss. Mostly captured in performance through a quadraphonic system placed inside a huge disused fuel tank, with a few tracks recorded out in the open throughout the island, Lava Love evokes the tectonic shifts and motions inherent in their title in 13 tracks. Based around Godinho's percussive arsenal, from found objects to instruments from all sorts of cartographies, and André's electronic processing, each of these expositions is a point in a map that is created between the island's concrete and fictional existence, discarding any superficial overdubs and crescendos, to focus on the balming and transporting properties of sound itself. From stripped down vignettes like "Bajamar I" and "II", "Chacho" or "Tangana I" to hypnotic tapestries that confuse the real and imagined like "Haha No!" or "La Gomera," Banha da Cobra conjure a collective dream of the island. All tracks performed and recorded by Banha da Cobra in a quadraphonic system inside an enormous fuel tank, except "Bajamar I and II" (recorded outdoors at cantonera de Bajamar, with Lagoss), "Taganana I and II" (recorded outdoors at Playa de Almáciga) and "El Guachinche de Los Realejos" (recorded outdoors at Playa de Castro, with Lagoss). Banha da Cobra are Mestre André and Carlos Godinho. Recorded by Jorge Lozano. Mixed by Mestre André. Mastered by Dani Tupper. Cover photography by Nestor Torrens. Cover design by Óscar Silva.

Iron Curtis and Johannes Albert return to orbit with their highly anticipated Moon IV, the next chapter in their acclaimed lunar album series. Building on over a decade of collaboration and the cosmic groundwork in Moon I, II, and III, this fourth instalment is a testament to their ever-evolving artistry and expansive vision. Released on their beloved Frank Music imprint, Moon IV sees the duo starring an 11-track journey that once again defies genres, challenges conventions, and charts a vivid course through the electronic cosmos. From the warm opener "Void Gathering" and wistful melodies of "Silverclub" to the driving rhythms of "Sounds (The Feels)," which echoes the relentless pulse of NYC Post-Disco, Moon IV encapsulates the duo's signature blend of moods and eras. "Club L'Avenir" and "Daso" serve up euphoric moments with a nod to the French Touch, while the ambient vignette "Into Somethin' (Interlude)" calms you down again. Electro cuts like "Pipeline" are reminiscent of earlier works in the Moon album series, and new paths are forged when the two are exploring Balearic Pop Music (BPM) territory in "Ohne Dich." Returning from space with the elegant deepness of "Bliss (The Short Finale)", the duo gets you home safe and sound. Their unique studio alchemy shines brighter on this moonlit, flaring long-player than ever.

Mirae Arts presents The Way I Am and The Way You Yawn, the debut album from Katsunori Sawa under his KWARP alias. This six-track release explores the fleeting nature of youth and the weariness of aging, blending Sawa's experimental roots with fresh, modular synthesizer-driven soundscapes. From the forward-driving hi-hats and alien voices of "Frog FM" to the mechanical aggression of "Ultra," the album offers an imaginative auditory journey. Highlights include the playful chaos of "PlayStation" and the metallic rhythms of "Metal Gear." About Katsunori Sawa: First emerging on the scene in 2008 as EOC with his debut on the UK-based Ai Records, Sawa has steadily built a reputation for innovation and collaboration within the underground music community. He co-founded the influential 10 Label and has paired his talents with an array of respected artists, including Yuji Kondo (as Steven Porter), Martsman (under the moniker Bokeh), and DJ Nobu (Nobusawa). These alliances have birthed releases on prestigious labels like Kynant Records, SNTS, and Token. Creating his sound in a hidden studio set within a striking Tadao Ando-designed building, Sawa crafts a sonic landscape that fuses rhythmic noise with pulsating bottom-end rave abstractions. His work reached new heights with an album on Opal Tapes, making him the label's first Japanese artist and firmly establishing his place in the global music conversation. His tracks have even been woven into the sets of electronic stalwarts such as Aphex Twin.

Violeta García is a cellist, composer and curator from Buenos Aires, Argentina, based in Bern, Switzerland. Working across a broad spectrum of artforms including improvisation, contemporary classical and electronic music, she now presents her new album IN/OUT via Bongo Joe. After dedicating years to the study of classical and popular music on the violoncello, and later delving into contemporary composition and improvisation, Garcia came to the realization that her unique musical voice yearned to transcend specific genres, and she has embarked on extensive tours throughout Europe and around the globe, showcasing her work as a soloist, collaborator and with her experimental rock project, Blanco Teta. In 2015, she co-founded Latin America digital label TVL-REC, dedicated to the production of experimental and improvised music. For IN/OUT, Garcia worked with expanded cello techniques, recorded in a cave in Geneva, Switzerland, which once housed the city's water reservoir. Employing the resonance of the natural acoustics of the site as a sound body, Garcia fuses improvisation, composition and new sounds, actively engaging in experimentation with extended techniques and prepared instrument, whilst exploring dynamic, rhythmic, and original melodic combinations.

Blvck Spvde and Stefan Ringer -- two underground heroes of innovative heart music -- merge slippery four-to-the-floor, sample-based life lessons and voicemail-infused soul to sweet effect on this debut collaboration. Any fans of slick house will know that Atlanta's Stefan Ringer has been on red-hot form for a few years now. Releasing forward-thinking, soul-stepping projects for kinfolk labels like Eglo Records, NDATL, Black Acre, Dolfin Records (alongside badman, Ben Hixon) and his own FWM Entertainment (featuring Ash Lauryn). Each time heralding the US dance music tradition with a tinge of UK grit often thrown in. Missouri-based musician, bandleader and producer Blvck Spvde is a more than worthy spar mate. With a track record that moves from Hawthorne Headunters' mid-2000s beatsy, future soul and the spiritual jazz of Blvck Spvde & The Cosmos to lacing Theo Parrish's summertime jam "Chemistry" alongside Steve Spacek and Andreya Triana, he's easily one of Touching Bass's favorite male voices. The result is the Build A Temple EP, which also features friends Ari Lashell, Floyd Vader, and Marquinn Mason across its 30-minute runtime. One for those that like their music with plenty of imaginative spice, and the next edition within Touching Bass' dependable 12" series celebrating the eclectic, forward-thinking sounds of their dancefloor.

The follow-up to the first Acid Sampler is now in the hands of a single artist. Space Dimension Controller does Running Back the honor to leave his fingerprints on the (usually) silver box -- and it's a match made in heaven. The Irish man's music is mostly a nod to the subtle and more delicate ramifications of electronic music. His Acid Sampler is no exception. Most of the EP presents itself as an ode to the brain dance vibe of acid house rooted music. While leaving out the harder and faster styles of the genre, SDC manages to pour his heart and soul as a producer into these four charming tracks. "Kosmische Conga" works as the leader of the pack and pirouettes with memorable hooks, synthesizer swells and descant acid lines. "Echopet" introverts the whole concept, while "Minehead" peaks with it. Named after the seaside town that harbored the Bloc Weekend festival, it's a warp-free romantic reflex of the brain dance vibe -- or a heartfelt love song for circuits. "Carinacid" completes the quartet with a chugging and hugging mid-tempo beat that could have gone on forever. Acid test passed! Artwork by Gasius.

After a couple of decades dancing in the dark, Berlin brothers Norbert and Volker Schultze finally found their way back into the spotlight via Bureau B's much-needed reissue of their minimal and masterful debut LP Dinner Für 2 (BB 277CD). Now the Hamburg imprint turn their attention to the second VONO LP, Modern Leben, which found the brothers Schultze expanding on the stark palette of their debut, adding spiky fretwork and muscular rock chords to their infectious synth-lines and efficient rhythms for an altogether heftier sound. On Modern Leben, VONO confidently stepped out of the minimalism of their debut, diving headlong into a bold blend of German post-punk, synth pop, and rock influences. Across its 13 tracks, the Schultze brothers offered a kaleidoscope of moods and textures, from brooding gloom-tunes to moments of brighter optimism, crafting an album that feels both cohesive and adventurous. The opener, "Ich steh' im Regen," sets the tone with its effective simplicity: a crisp drum machine, a restrained bassline, and a smooth croon that calls to mind early Japan or Roxy Music. On "Bin Ein Jeder Hat Ihn Gern Boy," taut guitar chops and a brooding synth bass create a simmering tension, sustained by twisted electronics as the track unfolds. The A-side closes on an uplifting note with "Nachtwanderer," its sweeping synth washes evoking a sense of hope as it transitions into a widescreen, cinematic finish. The B-side opens with the DAF-t duality of "Du Siehst So Gut Aus", its lyrical list of compliments yelped over aggressive electro-punk backing, before the romantic "Wenn Du Mich Küsst" cartwheels further towards playfulness via stomping beats and bombastic melodies. The slower "Hurra" introduces greyscale synth stabs and growled vocals, adding an ominous layer to the album's diverse sound, which takes a further detour via the percolating rhythms and almost tropical tones of "Genieß' den Morgen." VONO's sound continued to evolve, coalescing into the hulking EBM roar of 1986's It's Time before the duo dissolved. So much like its creators, Modern Leben is an album that thrives on contrasts, seamlessly moving between stark post-punk grit and expansive synth-pop melodies, while maintaining the intensity and edge that runs through all three of their albums.

"Electronic music has never been solely about the music itself or its fame. It has been a fight, a totem. Every week it becomes a universal communion, a celebration, a reconciliation with both ourselves and others. No frontiers, no territories, no certainties other than being as authentic as possible. As a musician and producer, after five albums, I clearly know that my proposition will always be about diversity more than a single crafted sound. This is how I am: multifaceted, nourished by social human exchanges and my encounters in science, art, and technology. I have one life and different bodies. I can be physical and digital, technological and organic, house, techno, and soul. This album is about shedding light in a vertical period where the fight for truth and visibility becomes crucial, where Blockchain might become our right to vote. It's about making complex things sound simpler, joining the dots. A proposition more than a promise: Unshadow. The metamorphosis is happening; embracing all generations on the same song with Nile Rodgers and Madison McFerrin! Embracing the diversity of backgrounds, styles, and geography, from Sacha Rudy to Dominique Fils-Aimé (Canada), through Natalie Sade (Australia). As a citizen of the world, having traveled endlessly for 30 years now, I know how lucky I have been to experience and experiment with various situations. If this album can simply share some of the joy I have received and spread some goodwill and white magic to the listener, I will be the happiest seeing the light that chases away the shadow." --Agoria

Originally released in 1981 on the legendary ZickZack label, the debut LP by Munich's Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle soon reached cult status and became one of the most important NDW/German postpunk releases ever. F.S.K. were one of John Peel's all-time favorites and actually did more Peel Sessions than any other band besides The Fall. For quite a while it was almost impossible to grab a copy of Stürmer, but right on time for its 30th anniversary this seminal LP finally is reissued, accompanied by an eight-page booklet with lots of unpublished photos and extensive liner notes by NDW-historiograph Frank Apunkt Schneider (in German).

Chris Liebing remakes Emmanuel Top's iconic "Turkish Bazar." A new version of the 1994 acid rave hit lands on Liebing's CLR. Initially released via the Le Petit Prince label, "Turkish Bazar" is an evergreen club hit, now painstakingly rebuilt by Techno powerhouse Chris Liebing, with each musical element reforged to create an essential new version. Liebing's version of "Turkish Bazar" features the instantly recognizable spoken word vocal of the original, while he ups its unmistakable 303 with an additional dose of acid. Raw, unfiltered licks are in tandem with pounding drums as airy pads and dainty sequences aim to soothe dancefloor madness. Extensively road-tested by Chris Liebing and blessed by Emmanuel Top for release via CLR, this is a mammoth revisit that lives up to the original's timeless appeal. Founded by influential techno lynchpin Chris Liebing in 1999 and reemerging in 2021 after a five-year hiatus, Create Learn Repeat (CLR) has hosted a range of artists like Shlomi Aber, Dubfire, Flug, Bjarki, DJ Dextro, and more while also focusing on developing newer acts in the scene such as Risa Taniguchi, The Southern, and Klint.

J. Wiltshire returns to MUSAR with Sunflower At Day EP -- a deep, atmospheric excursion across four tightly woven dance-floor tracks. Marking MUSAR's 20th release, this EP showcases some of Wiltshire's most club-ready work yet, blending outsider house, ambient trance, and Cornish electronic influences. The title track "Sunflower At Day" is a shoegaze-infused chugger that nods to the ethereal haze of My Bloody Valentine and has a rave energy reminiscent of the Future Sound of London. Track two, "Cosmic Slap," takes over with its deep, dub-heavy sounds and off-kilter rhythms, playing to Wiltshire's more experimental side under a techno beat. On the B side, listeners dive deeper into Wiltshire's intricate melodic world. "Traversing" unfolds with enveloping, pastoral harmonic patterns, balancing surging intensity with an organic flow. Finally, the EP closes with the cinematic "Rush Point 9," a late-night noir groove that offers a perfect, reflective finale to this sonic journey. With Sunflower At Day, Wiltshire fuses intricate textures and melodies with dance-floor intensity, offering another great soundscape from the artist for both club and home listeners.

Modern Obscure Music presents Pierre Bastien and DJ Low's Swing Low, a work that fuses the poetic inventiveness of Pierre Bastien with the visionary legacy of the late DJ Low (Tom Deweerdt), a central figure in Belgian independent music and founder of the influential Lowlands label. This album, which interweaves memory and experimentation, represents Bastien's debut on the Barcelona label's catalog and a testament to the creative bond between the two artists. The album, composed of seven pieces, stands out for its hybrid nature: five reinterpretations of Bastien's previous works, some of them coming from his influential Mecanoid (originally released by Rephlex), and two unreleased improvisations, "A Pupa" and "Reviver," which seal the unique character of the project. Pierre Bastien, recognized as a composer, inventor and builder of sound machines, has been a tireless explorer of the frontiers between the mechanical and the musical. From his contribution to the Belcanto Orchestra, his collaboration with the PRSNT project to his participation in Pedro Vian's Earth, Our Planet or his collaboration with Tomaga for the Other People label, his career illustrates a constant commitment to experimentation and the intersection of disciplines. Among the artists he has worked with are names such as Robert Wyatt, Jac Berrocal, Jaki Liebezeit and designer Issey Miyake. His works have found homes on iconic labels such as Marionette, Morphine and Discrepant to name a few. The album is presented with a visual design by Koen Bruyneel, reinterpreted as a tribute to Tom Deweerdt, a decade after his departure.

Triple LP version. Colours Revisited, a revision of Adam F's MOBO Award-winning 1997 debut album, is a story of musical rebirth and passion. Adam F, realizing that Colours had found a new audience -- partly thanks to artists like PinkPantheress -- decided to recreate the album. Instead of simply remastering the tracks, Adam went all in. Over two years, he meticulously reworked the original music, from restoring vintage instruments like his Fender Rhodes piano to enlisting UK jazz legends like Julian Joseph. Vocalists including Kirsty Hawkshaw and the late MC Conrad re-recorded their parts, while new solos from world-class musicians added fresh life to the tracks. "Colours holds a special place in my heart because it was not only my first solo album, but also because I had the opportunity to collaborate with diverse talents," says the seminal producer on his ground-breaking album. "Musicians of a caliber such as Dave Ital (Guitars), The Jazz Great Julian Joseph (Keyboards and Fender Rhodes), MC Conrad (MC/Artist), Roni Jordan, Tim Philbert/Tim the Bass (Bass), Greg Leicester (Bass), Maurice Capillaire/MC MC (Live MC)." The revisited album deftly weaves together the energy of new live instrumentation with the '80s British electronica and jazz fusion inspired sounds of the original. The result is a project which not only brings the album into the glistening present but somehow manages to add further depth and sense of understanding of the original Colours, the influences latent within it and how and why it has gone on to influence so many others since its inception throughout the world. This is a must have album which pays homage to what has become a cornerstone of British electronic music history.

Where to begin with a figure like Simon Fisher Turner? From teenage stage and screen star to illustrious recording artist for Creation and Mute and score composer of Caravaggio, Blue, and The Epic of Everest -- via a stint with The The and collaborations with Derek Jarman, David Lynch, and Tilda Swinton -- Turner embodies a distinctly British sensibility and boundless curiosity for sound. For A Colourful Storm, discovering Deux Filles, his mysterious project with Colin Lloyd-Tucker that has since been reissued by Dark Entries, was a significant moment in shaping their identity. In August 2023, A Colourful Storm presented Simon Fisher Turner and Time is Away at Spanners, London. Performed at the tail end of Blue Now, a series of events celebrating Derek Jarman's last feature film, Blue, the recording reveals a lifetime of significant events and influences. Terre Thaemlitz's remix of Turner's Shishapangma is reworked and appears on vinyl only. Jarman is privately recorded reading "White Lies," Bertrand Russell is sampled, and Turner records his brother practicing the Great Rissington organ for their father's funeral.

For her new and most radical album Electroacoustic Works for Halldorophone, Martina Bertoni used the electronic instrument at EMS Stockholm to create four pieces that are massive in scale and incredibly intimate, sonically restrained and emotionally overwhelming -- almost ambient and always demanding your full attention. Aiming to analyze and understand their interaction beyond the composer's control, Bertoni sought to engage more deeply with the concepts of time, tuning, and, most importantly, control. While the halldorophone -- famously used by Hildur Guðnadóttir for her Joker score -- roughly resembles a cello and can be played like one, it is an electronic instrument. The vibration of its strings is being picked up, amplified, and then routed through a speaker. This creates a feedback loop that becomes increasingly complex depending on how much gain is added to individual strings. Úlfarsson gave Bertoni a carte blanche for how to handle the instrument, but she stresses that she relied on "minimal interventions -- some string strumming and plucking" that set the interactions of different sounds and frequencies into motion. Bertoni recorded the material in the EMS studio, later composing and arranging the four complex pieces in her home in Berlin, after which they were mixed and mastered by Ciaran O'Shea. While this can be considered a compositional abstraction process, traces of her concrete work as a performer are firmly ingrained in the music. Indeed, there is a striking sense of intimacy to these four pieces throughout which individual sounds, harmonic frequencies, and even subtle rhythmic figures seem to move both on their own accord but also according to a underlying vision that steers their interplay. Electroacoustic Works for Halldorophone is an album built on and marked by contrasts. The soothing polylogue of single sounds in the higher register on opener "Omen in G" is counterpointed by massive bass drones, while the second piece, "Nominal in D," plays a cunning game of repetition and difference by combining thick textures with all kinds of rhythmic elements. "Fades in C" -- the longest of the four pieces, clocking in at 17 minutes -- unlocks the emotional potentials of the sonic qualities of the halldorophone, sounding at once serene and anthemic, and "Organon in D" closes the album by underscoring how Bertoni's unconventional approach allows her to seamlessly transform simple, quiet tones into complex, towering walls of sound.
