some fine tin-metal dangling going on here

Ben Pest and ARA-U unite for the next release on No Static / Automatic. Kaos Sympatik EP started life with the pair recording jams of various vintage studio kit, including an EMS VCS3, Roland VP330 and an Orgon Systems prototype known only as the “Silver Box”, which developed into full tracks over subsequent sessions.

Ben Pest has been busy releasing high grade club tracks including collabs with Radioactive Man and Kursa for Asking For Trouble and Love Love Records last year, and with solo EPs dropping on Cultivated Electronics and Posh End music. Here he links with NS/A boss ARA-U, turning out some of their headiest material to date.

NSA012 ARA-U & Ben Pest - Kaos Sympatic

SUPPORT: https://selvamancer.bandcamp.com/album/a-benumbed-waiting

A Benumbed Waiting is a ruthless odyssey where reality bends and the rhythm of chaos takes hold. This Limited Edition Cassette album contains 15 tracks featuring an unholy marriage of Barcelona’s underground stew and international artists who somehow know exactly how to make pulsating noise feel like liberation.

The compilation oozes grit and mad creativity, from deep acid basslines to harsh industrial textures, wonky bass explosions and driving electro rhythms.

Also: Fuck Trump. Fuck Musk. Fuck Putin. Fuck Netanyahu.
Fuck Abascal. Fuck Wilders.
May they all burn in the lake of fire, forever.

Support your local scenes.
Peace.

release info:

NEON ONI - ネオンオニ 

The sound of rebellion. The return of chaos. 

Lambratech proudly presents NEON ONI, a defiant 25-track compilation of cutting-edge electro from a battalion of international artists, each summoned to awaken the sonic demons beneath the surface. 

In a world where algorithms dictate taste and uniformity dominates the dancefloor, NEON ONI emerges as a glitch in the system — a call to arms for those who still believe in raw frequencies, distorted machines, and emotional voltage. Born from the depths of a cybernetic underworld, our Oni rise from tangled cables and neon-lit shadows to fight back against the tyranny of sonic standardization. 

This V/A release is not just a compilation — it’s an uprising. Expect machine-funk, cyber basslines, haunted grooves, and relentless drum programming. From classic electro purists to experimental iconoclasts, every artist contributes a strike in the war for musical soul. 

Plug in. Drop out.

Here he links with NS/A boss ARA-U, turning out some of their headiest material to date.

The EP kicks off with ‘Err Hello’, it’s wholly discordant, lairy, and unapologetically weird. ‘‘Get A Grip’ drifts in with hallucinatory wafts of sound over a warped riff, building into a granular, distorted headfuck of a hoover-bass moment. This one will make the subs rattle on the right side of distortion. On the B Side title track ‘Kaos Sympatic’ gets stuck in with a big broken beat and guttural sub that transforms into a techno drop to drive this track home. Finishing up, ‘Slapback’ serves up a cut of high energy electro funk, coming off like classic ERP on heat.

Limited edition purple vinyl.

East London's Ara-U joins forces with UK hardware hash key Ben Pest for 'Kaos Sympatik' EP, a four-track trowelling of various niche gear possibilities, be these the EMS VCS3, Roland VP330 or a one-off Orgon prototype dubbed the Silver Box. The result is a set of cogjammed, dark analogue acid and machine-fried club gear sounding out like mad scientists' cackles, wiling away and abreast gnarled electro. Pest's recent output moves from solo cuts on Cultivated Electronics and Posh End to pairings with Kursa and Radioactive Man, and has of late leaned into high-volt funk and rougher-edged drums, but here the connection with Ara-U (whose own catalogue now numbers sixteen NS/A releases) moves to twitchier, more sensitive sequencing.

Traptor - 404 Ghetto Dreams EP [Connectome Records]

This EP is experimental ghetto electro cut through with a Memphis aesthetic, where compression compresses space and vocals run through deep delay sounds like a ghost from the street future. The bass rolls underneath, the synths keep you in constant tension, and the reverb adds paranoid depth. All of this is not just a collection of tracks, but a digital uprising

Release Info :

Anna Karina - METAPHORISCH EP

Anna Karina, Ukrainian music producer based in Berlin,
has released her first EP!

This EP showcases synthesizers and VCV Rack. The sound explores the sensations of wind and the vast, heavy landscape of the mind.
Rather than imitating the physical world, it channels perception — translating emotional states into abstract sonic forms.
Noise and glitch elements represent the raw, untamed aspects of the ocean, not as it sounds, but as it feels.

Through generative techniques, where algorithms influence structure and detail, the composition mimics the unpredictable nature of waves, thoughts, and shifting inner currents. The result is not a direct simulation, but an evolving soundscape that captures the movement and instability of an internal ocean.

This ocean is metaphorical — an ocean of emotion, memory, and perception. It has little in common with literal wave sounds but resonates as a deep, sensory reflection of a mental state.

The goal is not realism, but transformation: to turn the intangible into an auditory environment. This process creates a unique listening space where meaning is felt, not explained.
The result is a deeply personal landscape, shaped by resonance, dissonance, and silence, where the listener is free to drift, dissolve, or reassemble within the sound.

I want you to remember abstract soundscapes that evoke memory, mind, emotion, and altered states.

Tracklist :
1. GLASSWARE
2. MELANCHOLY
3. STEIN
4. STURM
