Debut album from The Earl Of Dean, recorded on Korg Volcas An album where rhythm takes center stage in experimentation. The grooves are created with synthesized sounds mixed with electronic drum sounds. Very minimalist, even though it might seem otherwise, given the many evolving details. A kind of futuristic electro groove, flirting with Krautrock.

ARID is a 2022 release from Active Dark Filament on WEATNU Records. The cover image portrays the dichotomy created by the climate crisis, where regions of the world are victims both of fire, and paradoxically, of water. The music is sequencer-driven electronic music with many influences, including ambient, jazz, industrial and progressive rock. On this EP, there is a greater use of unusual time signatures.
"The Dark Cloak of Matter"; a phrase which invokes the idea of dark energy and dark matter, unseen yet pervading the spaces in our world. Over a background of Berlin-School inspired sequences, silvery melodies ebb and flow. Sometimes shrill, sometimes warm and resonant, the 5 electronic tracks on this EP take their names from celestial objects and concepts.
In the language of geology, Terranes are pieces of crust, sometimes transported thousands of kilometers from distant latitudes, to be fused together by enormous forces to create new and different landmasses. Terranes exist along the western margins of the Americas giving rise to unique and exotic formations. The seven new compositions featured on "Terranes" are impressions of these immense tectonic processes which shaped the west coast. The panoramic moods swing from dark and subterranean to fractious and hyper. Musically, the compositions often employ ideas and progressions gleaned from octatonic (symmetrical) scales.
My debut album under the 'John Titor's Time Machine' name. I was in a kinda weird time in my life where I was stuck doing a dead end job and wanted to achieve my dream of becoming a famous musician lol. I played guitar pretty much all my life but never committed to it since I hadn't been diagnosed with ADHD at the time. Once I got diagnosed in 2023 and began taking medication I started practicing guitar everyday and got to a point in early 2025 where I felt confident enough to make and release my own music. I released my EP first (called 'Another Thousand Summers for the Glittering World') in February and got such positive feedback that I decided to immediately start working on my first album. After a six week crunch I released 'Garden of Delights' to the world and it's been history ever since. Thanks to everyone who has supported me in the past 2 years and I hope the John Titor project lives to see another year in the big 2027! Turn on, tune in, drop out -Millard!
Recorded between August 2025 and January 2026, 'John Titor’s Time Machine' is the culmination of six months of hard work, many sleepless late nights, and obsessive refinements and revisions. It is a concept album about John Titor (a time traveler from the year 1998) being trapped in an alternate timeline where Joseph Smith successfully turned Mormonism into the biggest religion in America. Soundtracked and influenced by the likes of Squid, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and The Police, it chronicles the tale of a lone time traveler unwilling voyage into a eco-brutalist hellscape that is inspired by the works of Ray Bradbury and Aldous Huxley! Be prepared to be taken on a journey and to look beyond the veil that blinds us all. Turn on, tune in, drop out. Safe travels from the other side- Millard
Knifework’s first transmission is a short, wonderfully diseased little machine: lo-fi old-school EBM circuitry, rusted industrial muscle, propulsive krautrock synth improvisations, minimal techno hypnosis and strange pockets of ambient nowhere-space, all stitched together with the logic of a malfunctioning dream. Synths crawl, pulse, sweat, accelerate. Rhythms appear from behind concrete. Little electronic ghosts flicker between the machinery. Inventive. Addictive. Spooky. Weirdly playful. And terribly, terribly brief. Before you fully understand what kind of place you’ve entered, Nothing is Coming is already gone—leaving only warm circuitry, phantom movement and a suspicious stain on the floor. A truly superb first apparition from Knifework. -Sir Kuliktavikt
Kosmische Clutharachán—the electronic vessel of Kosmik Leprechaun, tireless legend of the avant-garde underground since the late 1980s—drifts quietly into the Elsewhere. Sykehus gathers a constellation of improvised electronic nocturnes, steeped in the phosphorescent blood of 70s Berlin School: Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Ashra... minimal, pulsating, atmospheric, endlessly unfolding. Synthesizers breathe. Sequences wander. Night becomes liquid. And somewhere between the oscillators, the Elsewhere begins to shimmer— made of mist-dream skin, impossible bark, kaleidoscopic lichen, and warm psychedelic sap. Stay there awhile. -Sir Kuliktavikt

5 track album
Rough Mixes is the second effort by monobeat original, the band of the founding member of Faust, Zappi W. Diermaier. Comprising 12 tracks, Rough Mixes, covers a remarkable amount of ground across its journey - disassembled Krautrock, dirty psych, hypnotic prog and deranged industrial-, all the while sidestepping the canonized understanding of what transpired musically within Germany during the 1970s. Vast in scope, immersive and strange and overwhelmingly beautiful. Writhing and deeply organic from start to finish. Industrial, martial and ritualistic, Rough Mixes pays homage to his focus on dynamism, rhythm and the potential of certain “concrète” materials. Absolutely incredible and creatively brilliant, its yet another crucial piece in a puzzle that’s far from complete.
The Greenfield Park EP traces a delicate interplay between organic textures and delicate sound design, crafted with a modular synthesizer and field recordings captured during a cabin retreat in the Catskills mountains of New York. Across its five tracks, a quiet tension emerges between the natural and the composed, offering a meditative glimpse into the project’s wider environment. The EP drifts from experimental ambient soundscapes into intricate IDM, touches on krautrock motorik grooves, and unfolds into vertiginous textural crests The accompanying video assembles a collage of the surroundings of Greenfield Park, NY, where the EP was created. Built from footage captured on analog Hi-8 tape, it weaves these fragments into a fluid visual narrative that reflects the project’s tactile origins. Exploring the interplay between pattern and chaos in nature, the video lingers on subtle details that quietly informed the direction and texture of the EP.
For 19 years, all of Mad Creudo's music has been written and recorded in places that no longer exist. As we prepare to celebrate our 20th anniversary, this record marks our first attempt at discovering a new location, dealing with its constraints, and capturing its sound. The sound of the rain.
