Dispatches from the Underground // November 2025 – Pt. 1

New Music

The Implicit Order – They Live in the Sky (2025 Remaster) (h/t John Lithium)

Kanding Ray – SIRĀT (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) / There’s a very good chance the soundtrack for Sirāt makes it onto my end of year list among the best electronic albums – Listening Habit

Primitive Man – Observance (Relapse) / I need something disgustingly heavy and from what I hear, this might fit the bill.
Never heard something from this band, so that’s always a plus in my book! – florgoth

HDRF – Wire and Water

A’Bear – Altered Fetes / Acidic loops and whispers, some slight kinship with acid techno sounds of the 90s but much more organic and experimental, less beat driven. Soundtrack to a glacial light show – Andrea

Burning Books – Taller Than God (Ingrown)

Steve Gunn – Daylight Daylight (h/t Golden Brown)

Sulk Rooms – Rewilding

Doug Bielmeier – Electric Rodeo Revival (Voidstar Productions)

VA – Across the Horizon, Volume 1 (Northern Spy) (h/t Ben Salmon)

VA – Twelve Tones (Buried Treasure)

Listening Recommendations

Broadcast – Maida Vale Sessions (Warp) / this is genuinely one of the greatest things i have ever heard – Maxwell!

Tarotplane – First (Aguirre) / Nov will make 10 years since i released my debut album on Aguirre. Still immensely proud of it. I wasn’t comfy with multitracking (still not tbh..) so i collaged bits and pieces together in Audacity to produce the record. Its name your price & its very far out

Rafael Toral – Spectral Evolution / this is as good as everyone has been saying it is – JPB

VA – Where Words Fail, Music Speaks – A Compilation For Ania Mehring / Revisiting this gorgeous benefit compilation, released in 2016 to help with Ania Mehring’s cancer treatment – spaceshowVMD
