Kevin Richard Martin-Sub Zero (2026-vinyl issue) 'A slow-motion excavation of drug-tech, dub, dreamy noise and frozen ambience' As the night draws in, here's a great listen to get lost in. kevinrichardmartin.bandcamp.com/album/sub-ze...

Nice mail day over the weekend. Lovely natural experimental sounds on Neroli, stellar dub/ambient techno from Intertoto, all time classic Juan Atkins and an understated beauty from Peach on Mood Hut. Go check em

Adam Feingold-Nothing is a Field (Temple, 2025) Four tracks of depth and beauty by Mr Feingold. Deffo a 2026 release in my book. Each track is something else. Track 4 is probably the best reflective house tune of the past 5 years (yes that’s a category). Go check. www.discogs.com/release/3432...

Fascists know they are in a battle for the soul of this country, and they won't let fundraising law, or qualms about beating up dissenters, get in their way. If they win power, they are clear: they will crush resistance. The rest of us are meekly hoping 'someone' will stop them. There is no someone.

"Ballard’s premise is that we recognise the signifiers of 20th-century Fascism but not its 21st-century equivalent, which arrives in a cheap suit and smuggles in its agenda through banal entreaties to “common sense.”' J.G. Ballard’s Kingdom Come & England’s Slide towards Fascism buff.ly/fAUErsZ
Book cover for JG Ballard's Kingdom Come showing abstract glowing red towers rising from layered red textures over a faded Union Jack background, evoking a tense, dystopian mood.

Shinichi Atobe-Silent Way (Plastic Sounds, 2026) Maybe I should start posting my debt purchases on here as well? Stunner double LP out earlier this year. Hypnotic as ever. Coloured/clear vinyl is certainly messing with my dodgy mixing skills.

Both soothing and unsettling, David Sylvian's much-overlooked second solo album is as much a forerunner of post rock as more celebrated work by Talk Talk Many Happy Returns to #DavidSylvian's Gone To Earth, which turns 40 today! buff.ly/0hgKSgs
David Sylvian's Gone To Earth album cover. A circular, mandala-like shape that appears to be hung like a necklace, comprised of blue, red, orange and white with a triangle in the upper part and a square in the lower section.

Pullman-III (Western Vinyl, 2026) Pullman's first LP is one of my favourite of the 'genre'- acoustic instrumental layers of guitar beauty. This surprise album (albeit following a early onset dementia diagnosis) continues this 25 years later. A stunner. Thanks @funkentechno.bsky.social

Freezone 2-Variations on a Chill (1995). I have a very battered vinyl copy. Nice to get a digi version of some of the tracks. This introduced me to Nuron, Move D's ambient side, a classic Steve Cobby side project (Heights of Abraham) etc. PWYW. Go! freezonerecords.bandcamp.com/album/freezo...

FKA Boursin-Listless Intertext (Scissor & Thread, 2025) I’ve been nerding over this label/Francis Harris with Henry (Boursin) for a number of years so was top news when he told me he was releasing on the label. Ambient textures of the highest order with deep house sensibilities

Keanu Nelson-Places Where I Go (Efficient Space, 2025) Lovely 7 on one of the best labels there is. Sparse electronics are married with a vocal damaged by history of his people and the never ending pain that this brings. Poignant stuff. Check it

Fabiano-Landmarks (2025) One of the years best LPs. Atmospheric soundscapes with rumbling techno noises alongside some eerie tranquility. Mental that this guy also had stellar releases as Mammo & 2501 this year too. So fucking good! mammoworks.bandcamp.com/album/landma...

ex_libris 001 (2025) ex_libris 002 (2025) As a vinyl nerd there’s a familiar feeling when you’ve missed a release after catching it too late with all physical copies already snapped up. Thought that had happened with these but no! Excellent breaky/ambient techno from a master.
