The Getaway

13 track album, released September 14, 2026 as free (cc) digital download and in beautiful limited CD edition. Unterm Rad is the electronic music of media artist and producer Mike Slansky. His music is information-rich and crafted with painstaking detail, characterized by bold, complex percussion with deep layers of texture and atmosphere. An early recruit of Tympanik Audio, Slansky went on to co-found the Point Source Electronic Arts record label and creative community. Alongside this work, he is a performer in the groups REKT, Mesaverde, and Tokataur, known for frequent collaborations and remixes with friends & fellow creators: Hecq (Ben Lukas Boysen), Ginormous, Anatoly Grinberg (Tokee), Mark Spybey (DVOA), Access to Arasaka, The Fellow Passenger, Room of Wires, among many more. And now after a warm welcome to the roster, Mahorka presents Unterm Rad's latest album, "The Getaway". Composed entirely of short instrument clips & other sounds provided in Point Source's "Genome" sample kit, each carefully edited, processed and sequenced, evolving into something new. No synthesizers, AI or any other sound sources were employed in making this, in the spirit of the "Genome" open source project. "The Getaway" is a series of rapid, erratic chases through tightly packed, dim narrow alleyways, with danger waiting around every jagged corner. But press on, the way out is through. Now available from Mahorka: 13-track CD / digital album, featuring remixes by Access to Arasaka, Evaluation Copy, Vaag, Feederwire, Hexalyne, and Cole. [mhrk508]

ADAPAR

"Thirty-five minutes of unfettered brutality." - Andrey Henkin, Brooklyn Rail (brooklynrail.org/2023/02/music/Blood-Brothers) "Álvaro Domene and Álvaro Pérez are two musicians that I highly regard and respect. They’ve released incredible music, time and time again. Previously, the two released Zodos and Radical Accretion, but now they’re back with a new project: Adapar. This project takes the furious improvisations the two are known for and digitizes them along with electronic instruments and production; a new sort of jazzgrind rarely seen before. It’s not something you’d want to put during a dinner with some friends, unless they have been thoroughly and expressly forewarned of the incoming intrusion. But, I’m encouraging you to listen to it for yourself first and foremost." - Dave Tremblay

Álvaro Domene NOT ARBITRARY

9 track album "Not Arbitrary scratches a lot of my itches. I’ve listened to it tens of times because it’s like a key that unlocks a part of my soul that I don’t get to commune with often. It’s so weird to write this about an album that others will hear as noise, but the sheer fact that it exists makes me feel less alone. Somewhere in this world that seems to prioritize separation and destruction of community, resulting in an irrepressible loneliness wracking our brains and bodies that are starved for connection, there’s someone out there making music that I can relate to. The older I get, with the wrinkles of my alienating idiosyncrasies growing ever deeper, that feels more and more miraculous." - Ian Chainey, Stereogum

Álvaro Domene

Álvaro Domene RAPID INFLUX

"Rapid Influx is as if Autechre commandeered Botch and forced Dave Knudson to make a jazz record. Needless to say, no one else is making music like this." - Ian Chainey (Stereogum). "A wild and busy foray into a shattered, abstracted world, the listener is freely propelled through IDM, technical death metal guitar, glitching loops and icy computer noise. This is music to listen THRU as much as it is to listen to. Kingston-based artist Álvaro Domene is one of the most inventive and hyper-productive guitarist-composers in the world. With each addition to his discography, his methods and sounds have evolved exponentially into ever more nuanced aggressive visions which are realized in the form of sweeping and vast musical landscapes. Every second of every piece on Rapid Influx feels like another massive bomb detonating. The sound of the tracks here (and on other releases) is that of fractured sonic debris whizzing past your ears from every direction. Think Venetian Snares meets Atheist but about 100x more intense and you get somewhat of an idea of the character of Rapid Influx. It's an overwhelming but highly rewarding experience to these ears at least! I'm giddy every time Álvaro shares something new with the world and enjoy having my head smashed by their brilliance like one of Gallagher's unfortunate watermelons. Furthermore, the label he uses to release items - Iluso Records - has an impressive roster of likeminded incendiary artists that includes Henry Kaiser, Harvey Valdes, Álvaro Perez, Briggan Krauss and Colin Marston to name a few. If anyone is wondering, my favorite of the seven tracks here is "Shaken Out of Lethargy" which could nearly sum up the experience of encountering any of Álvaro's recent work." Compositions, seven string electric guitar and drum computer-sampler: Álvaro Domene Audio engineered by Domene at Singularity Studio (Kingston, New York), September-December 2022.

ADAPAR

ADAPAR 3: ÖPIK TRANSMISSION

"ADAPAR, the duo of multi-instrumentalist Álvaro Domene and saxophonist Álvaro Pérez, feels so far ahead of the rest of modern music, like a peek through a tear in the space-time continuum, a demented dimension where Autechre, John Zorn, and Fredrik Thordendal are united by breakcore. Weasel Walter, no stranger to using the fringe of music as a bungee rope, called it a "disorienting duet of fractured fax-machine glitch-babble," and, really, who am I to argue with Weasel Walter? Longtime readers know I'm a Domene disciple, so you cannot quarrel with me when I call 3: Öpik Transmission that good, good stuff. Like past works, it's a lot, often all at the same time; thus, begone, normal people. You bet, this thing will shed your tin-eared, fairweather friends faster than a shaggy husky brushing past your black pants. Some folks aren't ready for the future. That said, there's something so now about what ADAPAR has achieved. Check out "The Value Of Vision." Squiggly information eternally pours out of a spigot that can't be turned off, and then, beneath the noise, big, foreboding guitar chugs rumble like thunder on the horizon. When was the last time you felt something like that? Probably today, probably while reading the news." - Ian Chainey (AKA Wolf Rambatz)

Álvaro Domene CONTRADICTIONS

6 track album "Collisions and Contradictions are fine examples of the ineffable sensations that Domene’s music evokes. The related sets are named quite literally, letting metal, jazz, and electronic elements, among other touchstones, smash together like particle beams in an accelerator. What’s produced can be quite contradictory and even disarmingly alien. Take “Fierce Universalism,” Collisions’ opener. With its body-blow beats, skittering solos, and metallic chugs, it’s like a computer trying to recover a Blotted Science song lost on a severely fragmented drive. However, unlike some self-consciously experimental releases that come off as a skunkworks produced solely for other musicians, Collisions and Contradictions have something else swimming around in the soup of the neat noises. In a sense, it’s the trademark touch of all of Domene’s releases: These songs are teeming with life, imbued with the human experience. They’re less a didactic exercise in theoretical possibilities and more like someone showing you the inner workings of their mind." - Stereogum

Álvaro Pérez & Álvaro Domene QUANTUM DISSENT

8 track album "Forever pushing the envelope, saxophonist Álvaro Pérez and, taking a breather from the normal guitar duties, drum synthist Álvaro Domene seal a style fusion within that envelope that even Carnac the Magnificent couldn’t read: glitched-out breakbeat crashing into jazz, as if V-Snares circa Doll Doll Doll had a tête-à-tête with Anthony Braxton." Ian Chainey's ( AKA Wolf Rambatz) blog "Some of the best songs of 2026, so far". QUANTUM DISSENT is the debut album from a powerful and new collaborative project by Álvaro Pérez and Álvaro Domene. Across eight tracks, the duo unleashes a high-octane barrage of hyper-speed, hocket-driven cyber-techno-jazz-glitch-core inspired by the current surveillance ecocidal tech-feudalist times, thematically moving from sociopolitical rupture, through de(con)struction and crisis before ultimately arriving at well-needed re-construction. Pérez is here at the top of his already inspiring game, displaying breathtaking flow, refinement and sustained energy on tenor, alto, and soprano saxophones, while Domene [featured exclusively on drum synthesizer-sampler for the first time], propels and anchors the apparent chaos deploying glitch nets and carefully timed explosions through which Pérez flies at neck breaking speeds.

Álvaro Domene DARVO MACHINÆ I

Álvaro Domene's work is music's future rendered in the present. The first installment of DARVO Machinæ, the New York-by-way-of-Madrid composer's newest work of guitar innovation, is all the artist's paths converging into one album. In a way, it's like a lifelong explorer unveiling the full map of their travels, showing how yesterday's experiences can guide tomorrow's. What immediately stands out about DARVO Machinæ is not its aural adventurousness, but how Domene eases the listener into its unique language. "Spectral Cartographies," with its skittering IDM beats and fuzzy click & cuts atmospherics, is the album's Rosetta Stone, building fluency slowly. By the time Domene starts soloing with the fluidity of a musical notation of Brownian motion, and the beats take off with breakcore intensity, you already have the whole picture. This understanding makes the music even more bracing, in the same way that background know-how enlivens sporting events, or an expanded vocabulary enriches conversations. DARVO Machinæ is a music empath in that way, because it can soak up whatever is on your mind. Like all music worth its salt, Darvo Machinæ is you. It makes the case that your journey is as important as its own. And what a journey. When "Coded Rituals of the Margins" comes around, DARVO Machinæ's 10-minute behemoth, you've already graduated from a crash course of Domene's quantum guitaring. You're no longer experiencing the music from the outside; you're now an inhabitant of the world DARVO Machinæ has terraformed. But, of course, you are not alone. Domene is right there beside you. That's the quality that sets these songs apart from other avant-garde efforts. They are not avant-hard; they're so very human. Although Domene works at the edges of what music can be, his output aims for where your heart resides. That’s the present, in all senses. — Ian Chainey

Saint Elisabeth

Turin

This is a very personal effort for me. “Turin” is an ambient, dreamy, lo-fi, reverent meditation on the Shroud of Turin. Believed by some to be a miraculous image of Christ, it is not officially recognized by the Catholic Church, although Pope Saint John Paul II considered the Shroud the be a “mirror of the Gospel.” On this album, I use the Shroud as a deep source of reflection. By combining sound samples, pop songs, chants, static, filters and distortion, these tracks become hymns to Christ. -Saint Elisabeth

Strata

The word strata generally refers to layers of material, a fitting word for the inspiration of this album, which was inspired by daily sounds we may be accustomed to that offer musicality. One example was my bathroom fan, which had a stutter-and-stop rhythm; sounds silly, but it caught my attention. Another example occurred during a night walk: two frogs were communicating, sometimes in perfect call-and-response harmony, but frequently tripping over each other's vocal rhythms. These unique sounds are things we hear at home, at work, and in nature every day. I think the message I wanted to convey is to stop and listen to everything around you in this currently insane, fast-paced, technology-overloaded era. This inspiration simultaneously derived from a musical spark to slow down sound and see what is offered inside. Piano riffs are manipulated & slowed, turning into glitch textures, single repeating note strikes that stimulate the brain, and percussion that sounds like the inside of machinery. Regarding sound design influence beginning my musical journey as a drummer, followed by a synthesizer enthusiast, ambient music was the first form of electronic composition to spark excitement in my soul. It didn't take long for me to discover the works of Alva Noto & Ryuchi Sakamoto. I immediately fell in love with the marriage of glitch electronics and percussion with somber, contemplative piano. I went off and did dozens of different styles since discovering their music, but I always wanted to do my own version of contemplative, ambient piano-based music with electronics. So you could say this album is about 10 years in the making, there was no secret revelation to finally configure a way to create something like this, it just occurred naturally this month in 2026. Thank you from the bottom of my deepest soul to Mr. Sakamoto for all the inspiring music across so many genres, my work would be half as inspired without you (and Alva Noto of course as well).

Installation Disk

INSTALLATION DISK is themed after windows 95, early software and UI. We wanted to capture the essence of an old start up disk that brainwashes the user and transports them into the computer. Creepy and evil corporations are the bread and butter of vaporwave. So we wanted to create something that feels like it was once an established process.

Between Coordinates

On a hillside near 24°N, 102°E, a reinforced concrete pillar stands alone. At its top, an orange is pierced and suspended by several ropes, facing the distance. From fresh green leaves to a shriveled black shell, we witnessed its slow transformation over time. <Between Coordinates> is the title track from my upcoming EP. It reflects my own transformation through moving between different coordinates. From Inner Mongolia to Guangdong, and later to Yunnan, each place has shaped the way I perceive the world, and in turn, the way I make music. I hope to keep changing through new places and new experiences. Like the orange suspended beyond its natural surroundings, facing the distance, I want to remain open to what lies outside my familiar understanding. credits released June 21, 2026 Sound and production by MieMiedos Mixed by MieMiedos Mastered by Eric Sneo Artwork <The Orange> by Patate Wang license

Between Coordinates

Between Coordinates On a hillside near 24°N, 102°E, a reinforced concrete pillar stands alone. At its top, an orange is pierced and suspended by several ropes, facing the distance. From fresh green leaves to a shriveled black shell, we witnessed its slow transformation over time. It has always gazed toward the sea. And I live beside that sea. Between Coordinates is a record of movement between places. As life carries me across different landscapes, it leaves traces behind and gives sound new forms. I was born in Inner Mongolia. The wind of the Saihan Tala grasslands and the melodies passed down through my hometown still linger somewhere within me. Later, I moved to Yunnan, where I gradually learned to live among contradictions, misunderstandings, and moments of connection. The sounds of this place have shaped me as well, constantly colliding with my own. For a long time, I lived in a room surrounded by noise. Some came through the walls. Some came from a kindergarten across the street, where the same children's songs were played day after day. These sounds had no physical form, yet they occupied every corner of the space. Over time, they created a slow accumulation of helplessness and pressure. Eventually, I began to wonder whether I was listening to the sounds, or whether the sounds were reshaping me. Later, I realized that instead of escaping them, I could reclaim them. I began dismantling, distorting, and reconstructing the melodies that repeatedly intruded into my life. Sounds that once felt oppressive eventually became part of the work itself. From grassland to plain, from plain to plateau, experiences gathered across different coordinates continue to settle and accumulate.
