Our dear friend and noise colleague Ivo from Mahorka Records introduces us to the project Jawhinge from Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The sound is post-industrial, but the jungle and ragga elements, along with tape samples that remind me of 1980s EBM, make this an absolute keeper. Sadly, I’m on the road, but once I’m home, Continue Reading

Chalupáři – Jak Se Do Lesa Volá, Tak Se z Lesa Ozývá
A huge thanks to my dear brother, Hubert Heathertoes, for introducing me to this gem from Chalupáři, the Czech outfit that delivers something truly special. It’s noisy, yes—but in the most immersive, profoundly atmospheric way. This is an excellent test record for your speakers, yet if you give it time, Continue Reading
Len Faki – Zera
For me, techno has to have a point. Dance music is generally dance music, but if it allows me to recall memories of big beats, timely samples and a great groove, I will show interest. Len Faki’s sound is good, deep techno, and the samples mentioned would have fit well Continue Reading
Burnt Friedman & The Nu Dub Players – Just Landed
From Burnt’s Bandcamp site: “Friedman had already founded the Nu-Dub Players in 1996 during a vacation in New Zealand (precisely, the Great Barrier Island off the coast of Auckland). The album Just Landed (Scape, 1999), released years later, was the product of a painful process of cut up. While the Continue Reading
Zadig The Jasp – 🇰🇵애국자🇰🇵
Well, I guess I can now say I’ve seen everything. Zadig The Jasp is a French band that produces North Korean vaporwave, now dubbed as lablorwave. I see what you did there! Though I’m glad vaporwave fizzled out, this does make for a good, easy listen.
The End Of Eternity – Code
When I first listened to the work of The End Of Eternity, they had a more Berlin Sound. This new EP changes things up a bit, going more for something that sounds like late-80’s-era Electronic Body Music (EBM).
Autonomаton – Collected not lost 2015-2025 vol.1: drone and teknoiz
From our friends at Mahorka Records: “”Collected not lost” is a decade of Autonomaton’s work, outside of LPs and EPs, collected. The music was released in the period from 2015 to the end of 2025. It’s done mostly through dubbing and overdubbing sound approaches. Both computer and hardware were used. Continue Reading
Boards of Canada – Inferno
I have a feeling a lot of people have been looking forward to this release, myself included, and I can happily say that Boards of Canada’s latest album didn’t disappoint. It’s a bit more subdued than other releases, but the power is still there. A fine one.
Marooned – Cinematic Echoes
Marooned is a band from Batumi, Georgia, that offers a bombastic, rather brilliant, cinematic music experience. From the band’s Bandcamp site: “”Cinematic Echoes” refers to the resonance of memories, themes, stories and soundscapes from past time, which echoes through our lives every day in present, looking forward to a better Continue Reading
The Uproot Group – Vampires
Every time I delve into the Mexican new music scene, I come up with something brilliant, but this time I was given a heads-up by The Uproot Group band member Enrico Gianfranchi to hear this album. What can I say? This made my day! The release blends jazz (naturally) with Continue Reading
