Adrian Corker ~ Music for Lock Grooves
Without locked grooves (referred to as lock grooves on this release), our records would end with the grating sound of needle against paper. Most locked grooves are silent, although many artists have used them to embed sound, most famously The Beatles on Sgt.

CORIN ~ Manifest
The Melbourne producer CORIN calls Manifest her “cyberpunk tribute,” and the tag is apt; this is some powerful electronic body music. The artist has been honing her craft over the past few years with a series of EPs and performances. Her debut album is

AGF ~ commissioned work
While compiling her newest collection, AGF (aka poemproducer aka Antye Greie) began to ruminate about the components of a release: everything from timbre and key to sequencing and sculpting. These tracks began as commissioned works, but the artist wanted them to flow

Craven Faults ~ Netherfield Works / Springhead Works / Nunroyd Works
Three years, three 12″ records, a trilogy now complete. Craven Faults has been scribing a sonic travelogue in turquoise and silver, an impression of Yorkshire and beyond, informed by memories imagined and recalled. There’s an air of mystery around the artist, seen

Yair Etziony ~ Ingress
Berlin-based drone artist Yair Etziony begins Ingress with a quivering synth and an immediate sense of grandeur. “Throbbing Coldness” introduces the album’s textural world, more concerned with space than mood. The droning bass tones and analog oscillators evoke a glacial landscape

Harnes Kretzer ~ Horror Vacui
The mystery of Horror Vacui begins with the Rorschach test of the cover. To me, it looks like an Icelandic cave; it’s actually an MRI of the human brain. So close! The title refers to the tendency of an artist to fill
