Scott), this release under ISO-109EP channels the haunting isolation of the Eleuthera islands, with hypnotic rhythms and eerie soundscapes that echo the depths of the human psyche. Each track is a descent into an electric underworld, where energy and darkness entwine. Releasing mid-January 2025, this EP invites you to explore the unknown. Learn More

Human techno wildcard Carl Finlow drops his latest EP 'Terminus' through Fanzine Records, following up his pre-release fan exciter 'Phalanx'. No less than a futuristic electro EP, Finlow's chosen aesthetic permutation this time is snappy and high-end-centric, with saturated textures circumfusing designed, tire-puncturing beats. Desiccant sound design keeps the cool bag dry, as the war formation 'Phalanx' and its brilliantly named B-side complement 'Syncussion' break all the rules governing what one is "supposed" to do when making big-concept electro such as this.

Paul Byrne, known as Apiento, returns with a follow-up to his releases on Music For Dreams, World Unknown, and World Building, offering six tracks that dive deep into the realms of esoteric electronica and transcendent dance music for the collaborative Love International & Test Pressing label LIXTP. The journey begins with the hypnotic, celestial electro beats of Beau6, flowing seamlessly into Axis, a captivating track perfect for those early morning moments. On the flip side, Escape Light brings a more retro vibe, serving as an intelligent and introspective IDM offering, while The Us Frequency channels the soulful, high-tech sound of early Detroit.

Dutchman Boris Bunnik is a man of many moniker,s but here he returns as the electro-leaning Versalife with Parallax Effect PT.2, the second and final chapter in his series, which pushes his rhythmic vision into more elastic, unpredictable terrain. Shifting from the precision of PT.1, this release coils low-end pressure and restless sequences around percussive frameworks that flicker between tension and release. Each track feels alive-mechanically structured yet pulsing with organic energy unfolding in real time. The balance of restraint and propulsion gives the EP a kinetic, suspenseful edge which means that PT.2 doesn't just follow its predecessor; it refracts it, bending the narrative into new shapes.

Om Unit pairs with Baroque Sunburst co-capo Soreab for 'Pressure 3D', a four-track EP featuring two stellar flips from Al Wootton and Ottomani Parker. The duo, both known for traversing varying musical landscapes and bold approaches to electronic composition, meet in fruitful common ground, spinning percussive webs and crushing grooves ripe for reinterpretation. Opener "Last Breath" is relentlessly moody and hypnotic, reimagining a dancehall-centric groove with heaving sub-bass pulses, deep into the bass bins for a late-hour pelter. "Tunnel Drift" switches lanes with its distinct tech-stepping 90's throwback style, a forward-thinking take on a nostalgic sound. Learn More
