It's Friday, so you know what that means: a new list!

Total curveball of an album by Chinese artist 76% that sounds EXACTLY what the cover looks like. Femme Bass Mafia girl boss Xades has an incredible, vocal-heavy debut EP out & Emika is back with a new album. Berlin's Metarave are showcasing the cutting edge Latinx rave continuum that they occupy & Samurai Music dropped a weighty deep-dive into their dystopian take on DnB & Jungle. Another highlight: Blanc Manioc's overview on whats happening in Abidjan. Phasmid's EP has been in my rotation for a while & Scuffed has peak club material by Pépe for us. Happy to see Schwefelgelb back & yes, i know, we've all been waiting for TSVI's & DJ Plead's collaborative debut, but thats an obvious one.

All that & so much more, ready for you to load onto your USBs - get listening!

Sakura Tsuruta's second album is inspired by the radiant beauty and symbolic depth of gemstones, weaving crystalline melodies, vibrant textures, and intricate rhythms into shimmering electronica and IDM soundscapes. Highly recommended for fans of salamanda, Tristan Arp and upsammy!

Hailing from Xalapa 1OO1O might be already known to some through his steady flow of high-quality latinx-futurist & breakbeat-heavy club music and his occasional collaborations with Mexican rave titan Regal86. On his newest album-length release he's serving up a cross-cut of club sounds that are as daring as they are hard hitting. Serious AOTY contestant!

Contorted and hyper-complex IDM reminiscent of Venetian Snares' "Winter in the Belly of a Snake" era, some of Gescom's deeper cuts and projects such as funckarma & Si Begg.

Sundays are for listening: Process of Elimination by El Hardwick is an introspective album blending slowness, queerness, and mysticism as pathways to healing, reflecting Hardwick’s journey through chronic illness, gender identity, and an anti-capitalist rewilding of the self.

Back with the weekly round-up of new music and its a big and solid one!

Leading the pack is a new Pressure Dome compilation, new material by Knopha, pq, Sha Ru, Design Default - deep and club ready electronic music with hyperplonk qualities. Another compilation stands out as well today, a deep dive into South Asian dance music of the late 80s, something I don't know much about, until today. Culprate's album length EP is high energy bass music at its best, and techno power couple Mor Elian and Rhyw put together a showcase of their Fever Am label with tracks by Sister Zo, Peder Mannerfelt, Lurka and Capuiz, all well known names around here.

On top of that there's plenty of new material for you to sink your teeth in - surprisingly a lot of techno, some tech house even, a healthy dose of industrial and EBM, a few bits of dubstep, plenty of weird leftfield dance music and a few albums to round it all up.

Get listening!

If you're feeling nostalgic for that lush electronica sound that sits somewhere between the clear formalism of Raster-Noton and the ambient textures of early Kranky Records, Tristan Arp's new album, "a pool, a portal", will deliver just that. Exploring a liminal space between nature and technology, he's blending modular synths, cello, and ambient textures to envision a hopeful, re-wilded future. Really recommended!

Sundays are for listening:

Tarta Relena’s second album, És pregunta, delves into the interplay of fate, nature, and human introspection, merging influences from flamenco, traditional music, and electronic experimentation. Inspired by Mediterranean folk, Georgian laments, and Hildegard von Bingen's mystical works. The album blends polyphonic vocals with subtle electronics, a must listen for fans of Mabe Fritti, Björk and Marina Herlop, with whom the duo has collaborated in the past.

No list today, but a brand new mix by Hyper Real all-star Mathis Ruffing!

The Berlin-based producer, DJ and Infinite Drift label boss has developed his own musical vocabulary over the years, which is consistent but also constantly in motion. Anchored somewhere between IDM, Detroit Electro, Drill, hypnotic Trance and futuristic Y2K aesthetics, Mathis' music not only has drive on the dance floor, but also an element of hope and utopia - especially in times of hard techno hammering away, he gives us a refreshing reminder that the club is a positivist space for big gestures and big feelings.

His mix is one emotional hour of full of hyper futuristic polyrhythms, drill, jit, IDM and his signature brand of chrome-plated electro.

Alright, this week is jam packed with real highlights!

The big ones for me: Logan's debut album, showing off how multi-faceted he is as a Grime MC, lyricist and producer, Lechuga Zafiro's wide and complex rhythmic-timbral universe and NET GALA's epic club collages of grainy, militaristic rhythms and celestial chimes. Parkingstone's new compilation is a hefty dose of queer hardcore and Zoe McPherson's SFX has a stellar EP of Isaka's self-described hyperbass for us. Also make sure to check the EPs by Sha Ru, Alec Pace and Foamplate, as well as some steamy DnB rollers by Dub Phizix and Fixate.

There's also the usual mixture of Acid, Electro, EBM and futuristic Bass for you, so get listening!

Essential Mexican label Terminal bringing together some of their finest releases this year in an affordable package for you to load up on peak time bangers. Next to community favorites and titans such as DJ Baba, EL PLVYBXY, SIM, Entrañas, Estoc or Microhm there's plenty of new talent to explore, I recommend to dig into Jaijiu, syntrovert, Remiseria Temperley and Precolombian in particular.
