Experimental Electronic Music
Jordan Schmelzer’s debut as Dead Edit, Signal Loss, plunges deep into the industrial undercurrents of IDM, where fractured rhythms, mechanical weight, and ambient collage converge in a dense assemblage of broken beats and digital decay.
The Cardboard Falcon is a profoundly vibrant, impressionistic, cinematic, slow-moving, and melodically oriented neoclassical album that will lead the listener to a state of serenity and contemplation.
Funkstörung’s done it again. On Appetite for Disctruction, rattling beats and sweet melodies interact with an artist’s precision. Not only that, but the occasional vocal […]
The original remains the gravitational center, its melancholic beauty providing the connective tissue between these contrasting approaches. Four perspectives, one expansive vision, and enough rhythmic invention to keep the whole thing moving. All quite delicious.
This new collaborative release announces a nicely made musical syncretism between various aesthetics and stylistic approaches. Experimental attempts exist, but these are subtly intertwined with the most structured song parts of the music, to make the whole thing more immediate and captivating.
Twenty-five years after its release, Markus Guentner revisits IN MOLL, reflecting on youthful intuition, creative freedom, the limitations that shaped his sound, and the enduring importance of making music without expectations.
At The Discotheque is a continent-ignoring, lineage-embracing psychedelic infusion, where technology meets traditional musical intent through a chemical haze, real or imagined.
Amidst all of this is a crepuscular sepulchritude of electronic abstract noise and instrumental passages where full attention can be given to the impeccable sound design. On the level of structural engineering, it’s another marvelous feat. There are so many subtle details in the electronic portion, while the acoustic elements often recall the languid melodies of ancient folksongs.

Lost Tribe Sound knocked it out of the park in 2026 with this interconnected series of releases. Diving into the extensive back catalog of the label is certainly an effort that will reward the curious and careful listener, while waiting for what they decide to bring out next will reward the patient.
A beautiful and intriguing dark ambient release, in touch with obscure forces of the divine and higher forms of spiritual communion. Another important contribution to multidimensional drone music and cinematic sound design.

Molecular Recordings delivers two uncompromising statements of hard-edged techno, with Ma Haiping’s Velocity Unlocked and a six-track compilation (Structure Series 3) putting the focus squarely on relentless kicks, pressure-cooked grooves, and music built to flatten a dancefloor.
Spencer Clark’s Typhonian Highlife project transforms dreams, occult lore, extraterrestrial encounters, and experimental electronics into otherworldly soundscapes that blur the boundaries between music, mythology, and the hidden dimensions of imagination.
