Noumen returns to Central Processing Unit after a six-year absence with Altum. This bumper record, the Ukrainian artist’s fourth release for the Sheffield label and first since 2019 double-LP Obscurium, serves to remind us all why Noumen’s music has been lauded by the likes of Mixmag and Resident Advisor in the past. Altum is a consummate piece of contemporary electronic production, a technoid exploration of outer-edges electronica that nods to genre greats like Autechre while still maintaining its own unconventional charm.

Across well over an hour of music here we find Noumen repeatedly playing punchy mid-tempo beat work off of some more cerebral tuned synths. Altum kicks off with the epic ‘Oion’ - beginning in that Autechre/AFX mid-tempo zone, full of deep-sea bangs and whirrs, the track slowly builds to a final stretch of delay-drenched keys which set us free amidst the outer cosmos, almost Sun Ra-style. It’s a perfect liminal-space roller and an apt scene-setter for Altum.

‘Oion’ provides a blueprint for several of the album’s other highlights - plenty of the joints here adopt that same approach of hitting hard with the drums and soft with the synths. Second track ‘Splitter’ takes on the baton from ‘Oion’ while souping up the kick to warehouse levels; the beats in ‘Far Wind’ splutter like a needle skipping on a mid-90s Tresor drop; ‘Fate Carette’, all eerie looped synth leads, is a highlight as the album enters the home straight.

The rhythm production (which, it should be noted, is exemplary throughout Altum) is ratched up in intensity on a handful of numbers. ‘Telemask’ displays a delightful breakbeat - if you’d told me this was sampled from golden age A Tribe Called Quest, I’d have believed you. Mid-section anchors ‘Awe’ and ‘Axis’ are glitchers in the Mike Paradinas mould, with the latter showing off some pleasing steel pan-esque synth leads for good measure. And while Altum generally maintains a processional pace throughout, there are points where Noumen toughens up the drums for club deployment - ‘Unveilness’ shows off a real chunkiness in the low end, closer ‘Spurling Sign’ plays a satisfying rolling groove off of ever-layering synths, and the title-track is an alien machine-funker in keeping with fellow CPU electronauts like Silicon Scally and Cygnus.

Noumen’s third album for Central Processing Unit is a pleasingly hefty double-LP which builds on the zany invention of acts like Modeselektor and Autechre to delightful effect.

Fear is the first stage of the Ratflak cycle.
The encounter with this sound begins in a register of unease. Psychoacoustically, the untrained ear is exposed to auditory conditions that bypass rational interpretation and act directly on the body. Heartbeat accelerates, muscles tense, and the impulse to withdraw arises. It mirrors the startle reflex described in psychophysiology, yet here the trigger is not physical danger but acoustic confrontation: sound that rejects harmony and order.

In this context, music is stripped of its aesthetic frame and processed as alarm. Ratflak’s architecture emphasizes this: percussive strikes echo the language of sirens, noise overwhelms the perceptual field and induces disorientation, synthetic timbres sound alien, beyond the natural. The listener, deprived of reference points, enters cognitive overload in which perception narrows to a single axis — the recognition of threat.

Fear, in Ratflak’s philosophy, is not an error but the beginning of transformation. It is the first red flag: sound that refuses to please, but warns. Through fear, the ground is prepared for the stages that will follow — anger, denial, and ultimately, acceptance.

UK producer and long time Bass Agenda Recording's family member The Subdermic returns with a four track earth shattering assault on the senses.

One of the prime reasons The Subdermic is welcome back to the label time and time again is her tireless commitment to pushing herself and her sound, ignoring the tendency to work to a formula and staying loyally tethered to a true underground anchor of what Techno and Electro is really about.

Her work can rarely be judged by a quick skip through; her tracks are eventful and evolve, rather than simply repeat. This is powerful, creative sound to match our times - it's not meant to be comfortable, it is meant to get your synapses firing, your fists clenched, your heart pumping and your feet stomping.....and so it does.
