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.

Eliott Forin returns with a brilliant new 3 tracker under his Foreign Sequence alias. On ‘Repeat Pattern’, @tonoforeign continues to develop his already masterful craft in deep Electro and techno tinged sounds. This EP is the third from the new label @Gestaltlabel - A collective looking to push deep, undiscovered music.

The first two tracks sit firmly in the category of deep: pensive, emotive and intricately detailed. On the other hand, the final track (the track I chose to premiere), Trùùm((33rd), is aimed squarely at the dance floor. Sinister sirens swirl around a robotic, machine-like bassline. Ice cold drums keep the track, and the listener, moving. Somber pads nestle in the background and provide the emotion that is always present in Forin’s music. This is a dance floor weapon with real heart! You can pre-order this digital album now via Bandcamp but will release officially on July 20th.

Body Realism is a wild ride into Chilean producer and Mechatronica co-founder Daribone's vivid take on reality, spirituality and fantasy. 

The EP moves from slow-burning mantras and religious mania on 'Shamanic Tendencies' and 'Yolavi Bahar' through the hazardous alien landscapes of 'Upper Norfair', onto a final encounter with the Mechanoid beings—gatekeepers between our consciousness and the universe.

Limited hand stamped vinyl release (no repress). Buy here:

Daribone - Knowing The Mechanoid [MTRONW004]

An endless scroll, an infinite lifetime of pointless images and meaningless nothing. From time to time a notification would flicker and bubble in the corner of the screen - a red alert with little to no urgent emphasis in the slightest. This was IG Messenger, a world of the unknown and a burden upon men and women of the modern age. When would it ever end? All that was left was a quick break from the machines, a period of sleep and rest away from the flashing lights and the distant drag of endless media. 

Eliphino is set to release a new EP on Secretsundaze, a personal affair with poignant meaning attached. The production is exquisite and intricate, the tracks sprawling and layered to perfection. This one comes highly recommended.

Spinning

TL Premiere : Isolated Material - Spinning [Ukonx Recordings]

Solidifying a productive year with dozens of releases, the Droid aka Ben Evans, marks his Woodwork debut with a power packed EP of intriguing electro tracks, delivering monstrous remixes alongside.

Opening with 'paranoia', the Droid's style immediately becomes apparent in its minimalist sonic landscape. Framed in classic 808 rhythms, Evans hits a quirky, abstract nerve with aggressive bass hits and resonant LFO synth tweakery. A solid mix layer, serving as a constant energetic ride.

The title cut, 'rewire the system' offers up the same punchy beat foundation and gets a little deeper, with breaks trading off against four-to-the-floor. The retro flavour of the pads and cosmic flow of various swells, miniature funky bass lines and anguished robo-vocalizations perhaps portray a machine striving toward a more human experience.

Mr. Gentle steps up for the first altered version and gets straight into dramatic sci-fi territory while maintaining the original spaciousness of the Droid approach. He succeeds in taking the beats to an alternate energy level while implementing some ominous breakdowns and infectious acid work to further the plot line of the track.

We are in for a noticeably trippy excursion as Francois Dillinger takes the helm. The 808 feel is drastically withdrawn and chill, with a rolling, funky resolve that perfectly sets up the smoky tapestry of psychedelia over top. The bass and atmospherics are drawn out to an expansive harmonic rhythm somewhere between deeply groovy and completely zoned-out.

The Droid meets Pablo Splice for 'beat the machine'. The two combine opposing aesthetics to craft a unique hybrid contraption from spare parts. The Droid's cycling repetition and minimalist sound design are on lock over his familiar 808 stylings. Pablo Splice counters this with a characteristic, snaky, atonal stab melody underpinned by a complimentary mid-range bass line, with both elements achieving a brash, down-sampled, digital edge.

Lloyd Stellar crafts an impressive thematic rework of 'beat the machine' that features a relentless upbeat swagger - a proper battle workout for the floor. Expanded sonic movement in the bass, twisted harmonic pad variations, tough and punchy blips, urgent vocoder verses, and a massive anthemic section of rave hits, keep this catchy remix moving through exciting revelations from start to finish.

The Droid saves a profound statement for the end with his 'amen experiment'. This unique track recalls a laid back 808 feel, similar to the previous Francois Dilinger workout, but then treats this to subtle ambient chord shifts behind some carefully layered breakbeats. These elements clash and combine wonderfully, ending this EP in an absorbed but lucid mood.
