January’s come and gone, and we spent it the way we always do—digging for music that stuck with us, the kind that kept playing in the background while we worked, talked, or just spaced out. Edward kicked off the year strong with a new one on Kalahari Oyster Cult. Vardae and BLNDR linked up for some high-energy action on Non Series, while Luigi Tozzi and Feral went deep into the spiral. Dino Sabatini brought fresh hypnotic grooves on Outis Music, and Mike Parker and Samurai tapped into the deeper corners of the D&amp;B world.&nbsp; Lemna dropped a self-released trilogy that moves through ambient, techno, and everything in between, while Aurora Mistica Records marked a big year with a 30-track compilation. Kagami Smile soaked “Lifeless” in warm analog textures for Opal Tapes, and both Multicast Dynamics and usof put out introspective albums on A Walking Distraction and Theory Therapy.

November was a whirlwind month in the music world, packed with releases that left us spoiled for choice. After plenty of listening and a bit of debate, here are the standout selections from the past few weeks: Samurai Music celebrated its 100th vinyl release with a star-studded compilation showcasing producers who define the label’s signature style. It’s a fitting milestone for a label that has consistently pushed boundaries. Bas Dobbelaer and SoHaSo revisited their “Binding Elements” album with a fresh remix package. The collection brings together a wide-ranging lineup, including Leif, Ben Kaczor, Moon Patrol, Dwaalgast, and Will Oirson, offering a vibrant reimagining of the original. .Vril’s new album, Saturn is a Supercomputer, released on Omnidisc, takes listeners through cosmic atmospheres and intriguing rhythmic experiments. With 12 tracks, it’s an ambitious exploration of his ever-evolving sound. Pugilist and Pod teamed up for their debut collaborative album, Iridescent, released on Of Paradise. The result is a dynamic collection of tracks that shift effortlessly through moods and textures. Reeko’s latest EP on K3 Records is a masterclass in sound design, diving into the darker corners of halftime and techno. It’s eerie, intense, and crafted with incredible precision. Jay Duncan’s new EP for Baroque Sunburst showcases her knack for blending diverse rhythms and grooves. It’s a release that feels alive with movement and energy. upsammy’s latest album is a refreshing listen, filled with bubbly, laid-back tunes perfect for unwinding. It’s music that feels like a breath of fresh air. The Perpendicular crew returned with their second compilation, solidifying the label’s reputation for delivering deep, innovative, and versatile releases. It’s another step forward for a team that clearly has big plans. Katatonic Silentio’s new release on .UNDER MY FEET, Middle Ages, is a bold, experimental work that leans into edgy and unconventional sound structures. It’s not for the faint-hearted but deeply rewarding for those who appreciate sonic risks. Finally, Ludvig Cimbrelius, under his Purl moniker, offers the Himmelsandar LP, a soothing and beautifully crafted project that feels like stepping into a dream. It’s music that invites you to pause, reflect, and simply be. Each release brings something unique, reminding us why November remains such an exciting month in the music calendar.

July is the time for vacations, festivals, beaches, and, of course, good music.&nbsp;From innovative collaborations to genre-defining solo projects, this month's highlights feature a blend of experimental, ambient, techno, and electro sounds. Javier Marimon's latest work on Huinali explores a unique fusion of halftime and dub, creating an atmospheric synergy that is hard to ignore. Amenthia Recordings's mini compilation offers a proper brain-dance journey through complex polyrhythms. The experimental ambient realm sees BODYXVIII delivering haunting soundscapes on Language Instinct. Meanwhile, Feral and Hypnus continue their fruitful partnership, producing relentless spiral techno that hypnotizes with its intensity. Kid Drama, a pioneer of the Autonomic genre and one-half of Instra:mental, combines influences from 80s TV, 90s Warp records, and early Autonomic sounds, creating a nostalgic yet fresh package. Edward's debut on Smallville is a must-listen for those who appreciate the nuances of after-hour vibes, while VC-118A and Kaspiann's collaboration brings authentic electro energy to Helsinki-based label Vala. The Black Dog, a legendary duo from Sheffield, returns with the "Isolation" EP, featuring four tracks that harken back to early 2000s electronica. J. Albert's self-released project, "I Want to be Good So Bad," offers an atmospheric, glitchy, deep, and lo-fi exploration, perfect for downtime listening. Lastly, First Epoque introduces proper breaks to Well Street Records, perfectly aligning with the label's distinctive sound.

April was a whirlwind of electronic discovery. We kicked off the month celebrating our imprint Never Late's second release, Mjulev's stunning album "Clouds Are The Better Birds." Konduku and Nous'klaer Audio capped off the incredible K Series with its fifth chapter, while Javier Salazar returned to their home at RDG tribe. Danza Nativa threw a five-year party with a massive 15-track compilation, and Kaspiann made a bold statement with his debut on Mantis. From Barcelona, Bastien on Red Edge served up some seriously trippy ambient experimentation, while Lb Honne's sophomore LP on Project Indigo brought warm, lush vibes. Daniel[i]'s star continues to rise with another gem on F-on's Alpenglühen imprint. Rounding out the month, Romi &amp; BLNDR and NUG delivered some deep, genre-bending dub and downtempo sounds.
