Song I did originally did in ~1hr as an example to explain "texturing" and became a drone song. No vocals other than synth ones. Maybe add later?

François X closes The Skin Between Us with a second chapter that feels less like a conclusion than a sharpening of intent. Where Part I wrestled with heritage and tension, Part II is about clarity: two tracks that underline his belief in techno as something lived, not abstracted.

Tracklist:
1. Before I Knew The Words
2. In Memory Of 

Taken together, the diptych is François X’s most personal work to date. It reframes techno not as a detached exercise in form, but as a language of memory and presence, music that belongs to both the body and the self.
As ever, François X’s sound is caught between lineages. Rooted in the legacy of Black American dance music but shaped by the European club experience, it refuses to treat those influences as separate. They echo through each other here, hybrid and inseparable, just as they do in the artist himself.

Part II distills this into two striking statements. Before I Knew The World is immersive and weighty, built on reverberant kicks and deep pads that pull you in like gravity. In Memory Of is more direct: a driving, knight-like piece of techno that balances percussive force with tenderness, offering affirmation rather than confrontation.

More than a release, The Skin Between Us asks what it means to belong to a scene, to a lineage, to a body. François X doesn’t attempt to answer. Instead, he creates presence: techno that remembers, resists, and insists on its own language

The vinyl edition presses both parts into a single object: tension and clarity fused, a reminder that these are not separate states but two faces of the same coin.

Penelope's Fiance - A life without you

Celebrating a decade of existence, FARWARMTH returns to his first recorded material in cathartic remembrance, reinterpreting his original collection of compositions to honour the project’s conception and milestone moment.

Deleted, as so many first steps into creative pursuits are, these foundational works have been revisited a decade later with renewed perspective, and once again made available in their original guise as "Warm Winter, 2015". Stemming from the mid-2010s wave of tape music, the pleasing fuzz and hum of the medium engulfs the nine pieces that make up the album – familiar in their characteristic saturation and warm compression – in an ode to the context in which the music first arose.

Laying the groundwork for his later albums on Planet Mu and ACR, these lost pieces display FARWARMTH’s trademark sonic palette in its formative incarnation, albeit transformed by ten years spent honing his compositional ear. Filled with dynamic tension, each piece offers an assemblage of granular synthesis, electro-acoustic drones, and melancholic harmonic stutters, culminating in an emotive body of work that seems to mourn the past while continuing to look forward.

"On that day, and after all this time, what were you trying to say?"

FARWARMTH - How Far The Dog Runs

Spinning a new leaf for 2026, co:clear presents ‘Imago’ – a pristine collection of modern-classical electronica from @burningpyre. With impeccable vocal offerings from Australian poet 3NDLES5 and Shell Company lead-vocalist Rosabella Allen, this album represents a broadening of horizons for the Newcastle upon Tyne denizen, who also heads up the Eastern Nurseries imprint.

There’s a poignant sensibility throughout this body of work: thoughtful melodic stabs pair delicately with emotive ambience and precise textural specks. It’s a sonic blossoming that lays its roots in atmospheric-ambient divagations, yet over time blooms with enveloping subs and skittering percussion – flowering fresh strains of dub, downtempo and trip-hop.

An unnamed malevolence hides 
in the deep vestiges of your kingdom 

French musician David Lacroix presents the fifth in two years album. Melodic light harsh noise with harbouring hypnotic industrial rhythms and majestic slabs of synthesizers. An ode to perfect aesthetics.
