Very much enjoying Flow and Fracture, a serenely unfolding ambient release from Jo Johnson. A nice reflection of the enveloping nature of drift and drone.

Surgeon - Shell~Wave transcendent, ego-death embracing techno
The Armed - THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED Still loud, angry, + smirky. Still fucking great!
Voices from the Lake - II Humid and meditative electronix that are smoothly soothing

New Barbelith/Trhä split rules. Barbelith is focused and crushing with fury and majesty. Trhä, well, this takes to their sound to a blistering, almost classical level. Members of both projects wrote, recorded & performed on each track apparently. More please!

Sifting through 2025's releases across six carefully considered themes/genres, Resident Advisor's year-end feature makes for an enlightening and lovely read. It's nicely designed and totally bursting with supporting links. Mahalo!

While Squire had the skyscraper guitar lines and Reni had a one of a kind rhythmic fluidity, Mani's bass really anchored so many of the Roses' classic tunes. Rip and thank you for the music.

This is so damn cool. Hiro Yamamoto reprising his unhinged vox on Soundgarden's classic smash em up "Circle of Power." With Matt Cameron on guitar!

The dense and carefully constructed songs on the new Yellow Eyes album Confusion Gate are mindblowing. Really digging the entire album, but that epic closing title track is one of the best black metal songs I've heard in the past few years.

Perc's new EP Soft Launch brings a punk intensity with crunchy drums and roughened sonic textures. The stop start bomb beats and loopy vocals deepen the disorienting, pummeling vibes. It's yet another great release in a year full of killer techno EPs.

Efdemin's new album Poly is a winner. As with past work, he builds these tracks with heavy drums and environments that are detailed but never too busy. Poly is a great return after 6 years away and it shows minimal techno can still pull you in with space and groove.

Abriction's new one Forbidden Bounds (mostly) loses the shoegaze atmospheres and instead smashes harsh metal and hardcore together with catchy pop structures. The more direct spikiness is a huge part of the attraction here and I'm very much down for it.

Having a supremely hard time thinking of how to describe III by Gates of Dawn. Iron Maiden-esque black Metal operating at peak prog rock with bits of blues and funk added to the mix. A super unorthodox sound that's loads of fun to listen to by any measure.

Adding to the chorus - The Spiritual Sound by Agriculture is pretty great. Amazing guitar work (forgot how much I missed solos) and frantic tempo changes make this keeper. Such a joyful vibe when a group's vision and talent come together like this.

Great article from Alessandro Giustiniano about the psytrance-minimal mutant sound coalescing in the techno scene. An amalgam of pointillist sounds and kick-centered percussion building into a sound field of disorientation. Speedy, trippy - what else do you need?

Really loving Necrosferatul's new blackened surf album The Last Days of Mankind. I've always had a soft spot for surf music so take that that energy, add in some psychedelic washed out black metal and I'm set. Grab your board and ride the seas of blood.

Joe the Band makes super catchy noise pop on their latest release Turn On/Tune In. Strong Dinosaur Jr vibes, but with a sweet low-fi feel and tons of ideas. Love seeing this kind of energy coming from South Central Texas.
