From our friends at Mahorka Records via their Bandcamp site: “Philippe Petit approaches (Leonora) Carrington’s text as one would approach a signal coming from another frequency. Fragments. Resonances. Distorted transmissions. The acoustic cornet becomes a metaphor for listening itself: an instrument that amplifies what society prefers to keep inaudible.”

Dormance – II
Mahorka Records has added another unique gem to their 2026 collection with the release from the band Dormance. Their sound blends mechanical influences that evoke the early works of Frontline Assembly, early Depeche Mode, and artists from the respected Wax Trax! Records label.
Dolphins of Venice – Captains of Industry
Oh, man, this is weirdly cool! Mahorka Records brings us Dolphins of Venice and a release that would have fit in a 1982 record run. A touch of Kraftwerk, lo-fi electronic music, underground cassette charm, but updated with a very fresh and well-recorded sound.
sevensy + Roberto Vodanović Čopor – refug3
First, a proper introduction to sevensy, who is a wonderful new name for me: “sevensy (aka Austin Brooks) creates music that facilitates imaginal sojourns; the message is the sound itself. sevensy mixes electronic and natural sounds with processed guitars and acoustic instruments. His musical themes ‘unfold into an unusual landscape – it Continue Reading
Selective Hearing – Cobwebs
Mahorka Records has delivered a hazy, surrealistic piece of music that might not fit neatly into the ambient genre. However, the vibe allows listeners to immerse themselves in a soothing, repetitive groove that’s easy to get lost in. Kudos to Selective Hearing for producing this gem!
Wolne Pokoje – Kostropate
Although this work is appropriately categorized as experimental noise, listening to it feels akin to being beneath a powerful waterfall. There’s an organic elegance to the sound if you allow it to settle into your ears. Another gem from Mahorka Records.
Virgo – Novel
Mahorka Records has surprised us with a release that leans less toward experimentation and more toward the style of Sakamoto. Although the talented Japanese artist Virgo is categorized as performing IDM (Intelligent Dance Music), this release is much more elegant than that genre suggests. In fact, it resembles something you Continue Reading
Fletina – Environments & Mechanisms
The only information I can pass on about today’s band, Fletina, is that they recorded their album in Scotland. That’s it, folks. However, because I trust the taste of my friends at Mahorka Records, I gave the release a chance. The ‘music’ strikes a good balance between field recordings and Continue Reading
eardrops – nightfall over concrete
Listening to some of the early masters of electroacoustic music and musique-concrète, it seemed that the goal of the music was to imitate the real world, and certainly, the masters like Pierre Henry, Pierre Schaeffer and François Bayle did so elegantly. Now, in 2025, we have incredibly good digital recording Continue Reading
Christophe Bailleau O’Farrell – Locust bean gum
When I started listening to Christophe Bailleau O’Farrell’s latest EP, titled “Locust Bean Gum,” I was initially taken aback by the abrupt stops and transitions between songs. However, after reflecting on it, I began to feel that this music serves as a soundtrack for fleeting dreams. The band that comes to Continue Reading
