Fade Kainer's brainchild Statiqbloom returns with a 7-track release called The Casket Nest, published by HANDS. This new output comes after a period of deep experimentation and research for the American artist, who relocated in Berlin some years ago, a period exemplified by self-releases like Bled From All Sides, Memory Remode, and Winter.

There are collaborations born of convenience and collaborations born of conviction. Paradoxical Implants clearly belongs to the second category.

It is always heartening to discover that projects we once admired still have the capacity to surprise us. We have already spoken with Graeme Revell about the return of SPK under its updated and renamed guise, The SPKtR. In fact, Industrial Complexx will shortly be publishing the first volume of a new fanzine in which...
Some recordings arrive as documents from the past, and this album is exactly that — a time capsule transporting us back to the mid-eighties.

Luca Valisi and Monica Calanni Rindina, the core of P.U.M.A., employ a method that blends the precision of the synthesizer with the unpredictability of field recordings. For this immersive work, they are also accompanied by an exceptional guide in Maurizio Bianchi, a fundamental figure whose trajectory in noise and sonic decay contributes a...
The sonic essence of the Polish label Ubocze Rec. lies in its constant exploration of the boundaries between music and soundscape. Its identity is built upon a combination of diverse influences and the infinite possibilities that arise from experimenting with sound, its manipulation, degradation, and transformation into living material. In their latest release, helmed...
Saccharine Underground is the creative refuge that fully encompasses the work linked to the figure of American artist Jeremy Moore. His sonic universe unfolds through multiple facets, whether in his solo project, Zabus, or in the bands Gorazde, Zero Swann, and Bell Barrow. On this occasion, the musician returns with the...
Essaira picks up the path begun in 2024 with the release of Dramla / Xirxe, the debut of this Italian trio, precisely on this same label. Two years later, it takes those initial frictions towards a state of greater compositional awareness, endowed with a denser, more layered architecture. The musical framework of From The Guts...
