Metallic structures towered high above the rest of the city, their appearance ominous and menacing. Who resided in these buildings, nobody knew. No signage emblazoned the entrances, and only on rare occasions were people seen arriving or leaving. They weren't offices or homes, they weren't schools or charities, their purpose was unknown, their story untold — an unsettling mystery that remained unsolved.

Next up on Coloray's Intercept Records comes the debut outing from UK producer Charlotte Denham AKA Talik. Influenced by her time spent living in Berlin, Hackney and Brighton, the four tracks across 'Cold Silver' showcase her ability to play with texture, rhythm and tension — crafting music for the body and the mind and finding comfort in the spaces between light and dark.

PREMIERE: Talik - Cold Silver [Intercept Records]

The ever consistent Krotone impresses on this latest release. Smokey pads, and tribal sounding percussion work in harmony to produce some fresh sounding, versatile club music.

OS Premiere: Krotone - Progress [Of Paradise]

A game of cat and mouse had unfolded in the neighbourhood, the illusive character seemed to be everywhere but nowhere at all. They'd left their mark on many households, on shops and on street corners, but whether these were well-meaning or a sign of impending danger, nobody knew. Whether the mystery would reveal itself, they'd have to wait and see.

South London-based label and party PROGRAMM have been busy cooking up lots of exciting things for the year ahead, starting with a new white label series, 'Untitled Series'. Their second label outing following last year's inaugural VA - premiered here - the first 'Untitled' release comes as a VERY limited run of 10 copies on 10" lathe cut plates, with hand etched artwork on the reverse. Don't sleep, these will be gone before you know it. And, if you aren't lucky enough to nab one, keep your eyes peeled for round two...

PREMIERE: Untitled Series - 001 (PROGRAMM)

There were strange markings, sketches and drawings etched into the old brickwork. The scribbles told the story behind the people who had lived here long ago, before the rest of civilisation found out. This was once a great palace, a mysterious temple in which bliss could be found in strange spells, potions, poisons and delights. Now it was simply another place to visit with a callous gaze. What had once been a utopian vision of life, now reduced to a mere tourist hotspot and an empty faceless visitation hall. 

Terror Peaks is set to release a new EP on MOTR, a sub imprint of Slow Dance, a record label from London with which we follow with close attention. The imprint itself sits somewhere between the post punk and experimental fringes of music culture but occasionally dabbles in electronic escapades. This new EP from Terror Peaks is one such outing and sets a marker for things to come.

PREMIERE: Terror Peaks - ↼ Oo°⌕⟜ ⇀ Blis [MOTR]

“What happens in other countries concerns you somehow. By supporting them, we try to enlighten your faith in democracy. Whether it is fighting to obtain it or trying to preserve it in its most acceptable form, that is what unites us all.”

To show their support for The Milk Tea Alliance - an online pro-democracy movement led by activists from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand and Myanmar (Burma) - Nantes record store 44 Tours have enlisted friends and family to contribute tracks for a new charity compilation. Jumping across the electronic spectrum, from EBM to trance and jungle to electro, the 15 track-release features original music from Oksa, The Aux, Marino and The Blank Panther.

All sales revenue will directly go to the Support Civil Disobedience Movement Strike Fund in Myanmar.

About the album:

"Lost and Found" is a moving and finely detailed album by PNFA, the musical project of German artist Wolfram Gruss. Known for his reflective and atmospheric style, Gruss delivers a collection that blends downtempo, chillout, and trip hop with cinematic and electro-acoustic elements, resulting in a rich, immersive sound.

Most of the tracks are instrumental, unfolding slowly through layered textures, ambient tones, and subtle rhythmic patterns. Each composition is carefully arranged, showcasing a strong focus on sound design and emotional nuance. The music feels organic and spacious, balancing electronic precision with a warm, human touch.

Alongside the instrumentals, the album features several vocal pieces that add lyrical weight and emotional clarity. These songs deal with themes of love, separation, and the emotional complexity of letting go, offering a contrast to the abstract mood of the instrumental tracks.

PNFA’s production style is deeply nuanced, with every detail—from gentle melodies to atmospheric field recordings—thoughtfully placed. "Lost and Found" stands as a cohesive and expressive work, shaped by both technical skill and a strong emotional core.
