Following up ‘Tetris Life’ from Moisk in April 2024, Munich-based imprint Terra Magica returns to the fray with ‘I Expected That’, a split extended player spotlighting the talents of Shjva and Pyramid Of Knowledge...Our pick is ‘I Expected That’ by Shjva, which unfolds like a cyberpunk fever dream. At 105 BPM, it’s a dubbed-out chugger adorned with effervescent frequencies that ripple like digital fireworks in a dystopian panorama. This is post-blues for the space age, bubbling arpeggios and interplanetary echoes weave a textural tapestry, evoking a high-voltage mantra for those tethered to the chaos of modernity.

Following the release of 'Los Ojos Ajenos Ven Ruinas de su Propia Alma' by KRXNX & ROOi, Buenos Aires-based label Nodo makes a thunderous return with 'Hirameki', the debut LP from local sonic architect Andrés Montero Bustamante, better known as tesssssssssssting...Our pick from the album is 'sprkl' which acts as a vortex into tesssssssssssting’s warped reality. A metallic thrum of staggered kick drums and shimmering frequencies sets the tone, pulling the listener into a labyrinth of mutant radio signals and ghostly textures. The track’s slowed-down breakbeat pulse evokes the after-hours haze of a cyberpunk dystopia. Tension builds as church-like synths rise to the fore, their solemnity pierced by earth-shattering breakbeats that dissolve into an apocalyptic reverie.

Ghent-based powerhouse Eskimo Recordings resurface with 'Next Wave Acid Punx Revamps', a deep dive into the shadowy intersections of EBM, post-punk, and proto-techno...Our pick from the release is Stockholm Syndrome AU’s electrifying overhaul of Voyou’s 'Houseman' - a 6-minute descent into EBM delirium, where dark bass hypnosis, scalpel-edged drum programming and celestial synth cascades collide under a canopy of mind-warping lasers. Warping the track’s DNA into a high-voltage, peak-time anthem, the Melbourne-based producer channels the demented energy of new beat’s golden era, slicing and dicing vocals into a corrupted dance speech.

For their first release of 2025, Phase Group return to where they started with new music by label founders MR TC and Lo Kindre, under the moniker of TC LK. Their self-titled debut album marks the first collaborative recordings by the pair to see daylight since the release of the PHASE001 EP in 2019.

Their new album sees the pair reaching for darker and heavier territory, where modulation and delay enact mind-bending effect on warped bass lines, dubbed out breaks and mangled samples.

Album opener ‘Godmanchester’ ominously sets the tone with a distorted acid line floating over stuttering ambient pads as a drum machine struggles to find its way through a gnarled signal chain; the album’s centrepiece comes in the form of a nine-minute-plus epic, ‘TLPTK’, in which a stark dancehall rhythm is paired with a modulating bass drone and otherworldly oscillating arps, while tracks like ‘Aro’ and ‘Bouncy’ present the most club-engaged moments of the record; the former in the form of a glacial electro rhythm, subtly locking into a groove, and the latter through throbbing bass and echoed breakbeats shimmering over spectral drones.

With this new album TC LK offer up a deft manifesto for futuristic, hypnotic sound design that sits somewhere between the club, the afters and somewhere else completely.

TC LK is released in the form of a digital album alongside a very limited amount of 10” dubplates featuring ‘TLPTK’, ‘Aro’ and ‘Bouncy’, hand-cut by Henninspace at Copyshop Studio in Dresden, available exclusively via Bandcamp.

Phase Group will celebrate the release of PHASE008 with a TC LK live show alongside DJ peanut and Rick Shiver at Spanners in London on the 28th of March.

Italian experimental imprint and event series Polysonica line up their sophomore release 'In Principio Era Il Suono' - a split EP from UENO Collective and Maurizio Sebastianelli that embodies the label’s signature synthesis of forward-thinking sound...Our pick is lead track 'Trópos' - opening with an eerie, buzzing whistle that burrows into your ears, while spacey bells tremble at the edge of silence, as if composed in a shadowy monastery nestled high in Palestrina. As the second minute arrives, haunted frequencies creep in, intertwining with dissonant, horror-like transmissions before evolving into spirited arpeggios and lucid pulses - an eloquent exploration of the tension between darkness and light, and the emotional labyrinth of navigating both.

Music To Watch Seeds Grow By welcome Los Angeles based multi-disciplinary artist, E Ruscha V to the Seeds family, with a release for the Cosmos.

There once was a fellow named Eddie Ruscha V, Who lived in a garden extraordinarily,
He spent all his days reaching up to the sky, For Music To Watch Seeds Grow By.

His fingers were leafy like ferns in the spring, His hair tangled vines where the nightingales sing,
“O fumblesome, tumblesome, root-tappity-high!” He sang as the seedlings grew nigh.

 


 
The Cosmos flowers danced in their purple and pink, With petals that shimmer and stems that could think,
“Dear Eddie,” they whispered through pollen and dew, “Play something delightfully new!”

His orchestra bloomed from the rich fertile ground, Daffodils trumpeted, making a brassy sound,
While Cosmos conducted with star-patterned faces, Their petals like musical braces.

Said Eddie Ruscha V with infinite glee, “My botanical symphony’s the key, don’t you see? The reaching and teaching and beseeching I try, Makes Music To Watch Seeds Grow By!”

When visitors came from the land of Dahloon, They’d waltz with the Cosmos beneath the full moon,
While Eddie played tunes on his hollyhock-flute, That made even cactuses root.

O! Eddie Ruscha V of gardening renown, With Cosmos flowers crowning his vegetable crown,
May your reaching continue through soil and loam, With plants dancing right through your home!

 

 
Cosmos follows a path that Ruscha began exploring with his 2018 release, “Who Are You”, on Beats In Space and continued through recent works like ‘Green Mirror’ under his alias Secret Circuit and ambient pieces for the “Slow Show” performances. Each project has been a cultivation season that invites listeners to pause, observe, and connect with cycles of natural emergence.

Cosmos is dropping at the end of March. Here’s a premiere for ‘Reaching Up’, available to pre-order on Bandcamp now.

Pre-Order Cassette/Digital

Release Date: 28/03/2025
