The long awaited debut from Texas-based electronic duo BOAN has finally arrived, at last bringing their unique incarnation of minimalist synth-pop to an eager and international cult following. BOAN consists of José Cota (SSLEEPERHOLD) and Mariana Saldaña (ex - //TENSE//) who, outside of their lauded individual creative efforts, are widely known as two thirds of the now defunct electro-trio Medio Mutante. MM's critically acclaimed 2008 EP Inestable was released by Cititrax, an imprint of the illustrious Minimal Wave Records, and was the first modern album allowed into the label's celebrated cannon of classic reissues. On BOAN's highly anticipated debut LP Mentiras, Cota & Saldaña continue to deconstruct, sharpen, and enhance their idiosyncratic cold wave tradition by using all hardware electronics to sequence and arrange infectious live dance music. Cota's vivid analog compositions form a solid foundation for Saldaña's indelible and predominantly Spanish vocals to sink into, reflecting a unique confluence of Texas' vibrant electronic music scene with its rich and inextricable history of Hispanic culture.

After a 12-year gap since the release of two albums and two Eps, Linda Mirada presents her new album ‘Qué largo es el verano’. Featuring a collaboration with North Satellite, production and mixing by Metro Area’s Darshan Jesrani, contributions from Bart Davenport and Daniel Collás of the Phenomenal Handclap Band.
Linda Mirada’s new album got off to an unforeseen start a few years ago when she proclaimed - “I’m going to record a record in Italian”.  To this day that idea has still not been carried out, but her first record in twelve years has since materialized. It doesn’t feature a single song in Italian, but it breathes the spirit of the early 80s pop in southern Europe with flashes of Italo disco.
The idea of recording an LP was born from a conversation with Daniel Collás that opened an unexpected door. What began as an exchange about musical affinities activated the need to reignite old ideas that had been put aside. The vertigo of composing and recording music gave way to the pleasure of working on songs. Time in the studio, collaborations and stories that grew as they came into contact with melodies were all guided by intuition, fertile disorder and the complicity of those who crossed paths in the process, plus a few coincidences. The result is a sensational collection of songs that moves between intimate hedonism and gentle melancholy. There are echoes of the most sophisticated sounds of the 80s, the candor of early electropop, influences of Mediterranean pop and splashes of disco. All with a fresh look, without indulging in nostalgia or clichés.
‘Qué largo es el verano’ is an album made with joy and care. It channels Mirada’s influences into songs that shine with their own light. These seven tracks – plus a PHB Dub - crystallize a very personal way of understanding music as an everyday space, where the production is not the main focus, but with an intention in each note and in each chosen sound. This album brings Linda Mirada back to the forefront of a little-trodden but necessary territory; that of Balearic pop made with sensitivity and elegance. And the single in Italian is sure to come one of these days.

Every motion leaves an echo.
A delay so small it feels like memory,
folding back into what made it.

Some parts of us cancel out — out of phase, out of step —
while others ring louder,
resonant at their point of friction.

The closer we listen,
the more we hear the shape of time itself:
not in repetition, but in resistance.

Turn the gain high enough,
and every system sings its own name.

Nothing moves forward without delay.
Every signal returns amended,
shifted by experience.

What we call resonance
is simply agreement through distortion —
a frequency where return and loss sound the same.

Civilization, too, is a filter:
attenuation at the edges,
a boost where the noise gathers.

Push the circuit far enough,
and even silence begins to oscillate —
slightly altered, slightly late.

The self is a comb filter —
a body made of delays and reflections.

What we say
returns a few milliseconds later.
At low frequencies, we disappear;
near our cut-offs, we bloom.

Maybe living
is just tuning the loop
until it almost sings itself apart,
but not quite — building toward a new sta

PREMIERE: Bertram - Aguanile feat. Fien [Machine Cult]

Facets' "Sonic Ocean" EP on Slovenian label KRI Records deliberately excavates the raw spirit of late ’80s New Beat and EBM for a modern audience. The New York-based producer, also the force behind Samo Records, channels this gritty energy into a contemporary club context with striking precision. His four original compositions rest on a foundation of stripped-down, muscular rhythms and tense, wiry electronics that lock together with industrial purpose. This compelling core work is then amplified by powerful reinterpretations from two distinct voices: the Midas touch of Marcello Giordani and the punishing approach of Broken English Club, resulting in a formidable and complete parcel.

Premiered here, the Alter Ego Mix of the title track by Marcello Giordani is a masterclass in controlled escalation. The Italo Deviance maestro wraps the original's EBM menace in a cloak of psychedelic texture, introducing a relentless, squelching acid line that acts as the track's throbbing nervous system. Around this core, Giordani weaves sharp fragments of Techno and Trance, not as mere decorative elements, but as structural reinforcements that build a palpable sense of anticipation. The calculated intensity of the track is broken by intermittent vocoder passages. The robotic interjections cut through the mix like coded transmissions, offering brief, melodic respites before the driving rhythm reclaims its dominance. It’s a mix that maintains a formidable dancefloor focus while adding layers of cosmic intrigue, proving both functional and fascinating.

🛒 https://sonambientmusic.bandcamp.com/album/dryland

Dryland is an album born during an unexpected return to the artist’s roots, in the Friulian countryside: the tracks took shape while alternating with long walks along the grava—the vast stretches of pebbles typical of the North-Eastern plains. In this landscape, only seemingly arid and dry, water flows invisibly underground, only to resurface with power in spring. The pieces of Dryland mirror the nature of those places: solid rhythmic structures, drawing on dembow and reggaeton beats, yet crossed by currents of ambient atmospheres, distant and liquid melodies flowing between kick and snare. The result is a suspended balance between danceability and dreamlike suggestions, between bursts of enthusiasm and shades of melancholy.

Sonambient is the alias of Andrea Buzzi, a producer originally from Friuli and now based in Turin. His sound blends UK Bass, distant dub echoes, and shifting ambient noises. The project was born in 2012, and since then he has performed across Italy with live sets and DJ sets, released music, and collaborated on installations, performances, and sound projects. With the Stasis collective, he curates events that merge club culture and audiovisual experimentation. In 2024 he launched MAREINTERNO, a live series dedicated to intimate forms of ambient music. Over the years, he has brought his sound to various festivals and contexts, including C2C, SYS Palermo, TUM, Kernel Festival, Vorspiel/CTM Festival – Berlin.

PREMIERE: Sonambient - Requiem for a Beam [Salgari Records]

Long-time NuNorthern Soul contributor, B.J. Smith is a man in demand, dividing his time between solo work, playing guitar in Crazy P man James Baron’s popular JIM outfit, collaborating in a variety of well-regarded projects (Smith & Mudd, Bison and White Elephant amongst them) and composing for TV. Due to this impressive list of musical commitments, solo releases have been few and far between of late, with Smith’s most recent NuNorthern Soul release, a stripped back version of his Big Sur single, dropping late 2023.
It's been ever longer since he delivered a volume in his popular and ongoing Dedications To The Greats series, where the singer-songwriter and composer successfully turns his hand to other people’s songs. Since debuting the series on NuNorthern Soul in 2013 via revelatory and inspired covers of tracks by Mos Def and the Pharcyde, Smith has covered cuts by Outkast, Prefab Sprout and Soul II Soul.
On volume four, Smith’s first volume in the series for five years, he delivers a “cover of a cover” – a revolutionary and imaginative interpretation of Billy Swan’s ‘Don’t Be Cruel’, itself a version of a song first made famous by Elvis Presley. It was their mutual love of Swan’s version that brought Smith together with the release’s most prominent guest artist, Joe Harvey-Whyte, whose lilting, bittersweet and deeply emotive pedal steel performances can be heard across the EP.
Smith provides three contrasting takes. The EP is led by the ‘Mother Earth’ version, a slowly unfurling epic in which waves of effects-laden pedal steel and sun-splashed picking acoustic guitars usher in Smith’s eyes-closed vocalisations, settling into a groove reminiscent of his collaborative work with long-time friend and collaborator Paul ‘Mudd’ Murphy that showcases Harvey-Whyte centre stage to joyful effect. As the 14-minute epic progresses, we’re treated to long, languid electric guitar solos, percussion-laden slow-motion builds and hazy, stretched-out organ solos. It’s a breathlessly brilliant concoction that’s a million miles away from either Swan or Presley’s versions.
In contrast, the similarly epic ‘Earth Heart’ version – available in full vocal and instrumental takes – pushes the song front and centre. Following an extended build up, where Tamar Osborn’s gorgeous and fluid flute motifs rub shoulders with languid guitar solos and Harvey-Whyte’s pedal steel, Smith takes to the mic, delivering an emotive performance of the song’s heartfelt lyrics over a hushed, slow-motion groove. The track builds in waves as it progresses, with Smith layering up instrumentation as it rolls towards a fine conclusion.
Completing a superb package is the ‘Root Heart Instrumental’, a Balearic-meets-Americana take built around shuffling drums, toasty bass guitar, extended pedal steel instrumentation, flashes of flute and Smith’s sun-bright acoustic guitar. Loved-up and more than a little saucer-eyed, it’s a bona-fide sunset delight.
