London label @tobago-tracks serving up a vital one as @lovefear1 makes his debut album proper

Big on detail, ‘Schema’ imagines symbiotic futures. A spooling suite of sonic sensitivity and dank, lysergic vision, complete with a cameo from Sydney Bass originator 3NDLESS. 

10 tracks found in a hazy interzone of downbeat-adjacent styles, and it’s woozy number ‘Mother Null’ getting the premiere treatment today.

Born in Manchester, raised in Zambia and now based in San Francisco, Banksia is a vivacious earth dweller starting his own imprint Ordinary Pleasures with a two-track first short-length effort called 'Tala'...For the premiere, we've selected 'Sonore' in which Banksia creates the sensation of being lost in an ever-changing world, trudging relentlessly through uncanny rhythms devoid of any sense of anchorage. Incorporating light-hearted bell chimes, bubbling synth pads, and highly-arranged drum rhythms, this is a bona fide house anthem.

Banksia - Sonore [Ordinary Pleasures]

Maelstrom returns to Central Processing Unit for the fourth time, and it's the one born Joan-Mael Péneau's lengthiest drop on the Sheffield label yet. The French artist has been a mainstay in the European electro game since the 2000s, and Malestrom brings that experience to bear on new LP The FM Tapes. He goes about this album with the assurance of a seasoned pro, combining his mastery of electro production techniques with a trademark guile to craft an expertly-paced eleven-track affair.

The first section of The FM Tapes sets out the album's stall with style and aplomb - listeners are in store for a rich feast of off-kilter machine-funk which will feature no shortage of intriguing detours. On opener 'Ondes Courtes' the mix throbs with all manner of strange electronic gristle: a distorted bass hum rattles the monitors; wisps of distortion float across the mix; eerily pretty keys wax and wane before giving way to a radar pulse.

'Ondes Courtes' is an ominous slouch of a scene-setter, and it lines things up perfectly for following cut 'Alt50ser' to lock in. This track's churning, gurgling mid-tempo rattle brings to mind the wacky insistence of Modeselektor. Maelstrom repeats the slow-fast one-two again directly afterwards - 'La Vie Sociale Des', a strange nugget that sounds like an early Eski instrumental stripped for parts and blasted into the cosmos, is an ideal prelude to the twitchy space-funk of 'My Digitone'.

Maelstrom's staying power in the electro world comes, in no small part, from his ability to apply his delightfully idiosyncratic choices to some of the genre's staple production tropes. On The FM Tapes, he marks himself out once more as a pleasingly unorthodox talent by taking tracks in unexpected directions to produce surprising - and often rather moving - results.

There are multiple cuts here which channel the more cerebral end of Richard D. James' AFX/Analord output: 'My Digitone' may be a quicksilver techno-electro number, but there's still something cinematic about the synth treatment here which softens the edges; 'Suede's minor-key oscillations bring other CPU veterans like Cygnus and Bochum Welt into view; 'Res 06', one of two Fasme collaborations on the record, is full of pathos even as the beat programming bangs and whirrs throughout.

While there's a deep emotional undercurrent to The FM Tapes, though, Maelstrom's commitment to bringing the thrills surfaces time and again. If 'Res 06' had Maelstrom and Fasme getting wistful, the album's other Fasme link-up 'Trempo' is one of the hardest club joints here, a piece of old-school Detroit energy replete with some great cascading drum production. Indeed, 'Trempo' comes in the middle of a run towards the album's end where Maelstrom takes the handbrake off - there's a wild-eyed sense of fun to 'The Operator' and 'Upside Down DX7' which has one thinking of the zany cut-and-thrust of KiNK's best work.

Maelstrom's latest drop for Sheffield's Central Processing Unit label is an album of leftfield electro numbers that bring both pounding beats and poignant production.

“Fold” is a highlight from A Kind Place, the debut release on Blomfelt’s new imprint Quiet Valley. The EP explores memory, movement, and stillness through textured electronics and restrained, quietly powerful arrangements. Flickering rhythms, warm low-end, and sparse melodic gestures shape a mood that’s both introspective and club-ready—genre-fluid and deeply considered. 

This release follows Blomfelt’s previous output under his own name and various aliases, including his collaborative project Blomfelt & Narby and ambient work as Evigt, with releases on labels such as Oath, Atomnation, Mesh, and Shimmering Moods.

With just one official release on Project Indigo, plus a track contribution to Pintai’s debut vinyl release, @pango-bauer steps up to deliver his first vinyl outing on Hame’s Amsterdam-based imprint @pintai with 'Helio', retaining the delicate intricacies and mesmerising qualities that made his debut so profound.

Closing out the EP, 'Wardal' emerges as the highlight. Built around jazzy piano motifs, bubbling synth lines, and a playful deep house drum groove, the track recalls the heartfelt style of German producer Moomin - music where intimacy and rhythm intertwine seamlessly.
