Self Perception - Upon A Rain

Wavey, melancholic new single from Self Perception. Buy and download here.

White Ring - Fate

Stellar retun from the OGs and pillars of the scene. White Ring's "Fate" was self-released on the anniversary of 9/11, with a cover art showcasing a photo of the murky towers.

Morrowtree - Mainlined / Downhill

Riga-based newcomer Morrowtree released this double-A single just the other week, and since I'm always drawn to the Baltic underground, I had to give it a spin. Out of the two tracks, "Downhill" takes the lead for me. I appreciate the noisy guitar work in particular. It's a solid, witchy twin pack with a hip-hop spine, though I'd be lying if I said there wasn't still plenty of room to grow. Definitely one to watch for the future.

Pwin Teaks - The Black Lodge Files

Pwin Teaks returns to Phantasma Disques with a new EP entitled "The Black Lodge Files", plugging back into interdimensional frequencies. Dark ambient and spooky, stretched soundscapes bring back memories of the O'69 label, while some of the eerie vocal samples sound like something straight from the bleakest folders of Voodoo Crystals, maimed and deformed beyond recognition. One for lonely nights.

You can cop the EP here and steam it after the jump.

STRFLL - Part I. Withering

Earlier this month, STRFLL put out the stellar double album "Withering / The Flowers Will Bloom In My Sanctuary", and I wanted to spend enough time with it before blogging about it here. "Part 1: Withering" may be STRFLL's most radical and genre-pushing release to date - a daring and absolutely successful feat of finding common ground between witch house, black metal, industrial, experimental hip-hop, noise, and more. It's a brooding record, punk at its core, filled with tons of dark energy unleashed across seven eclectic capsules, enhanced by guest vocal performances from (the show-stealing) Same Me, Devour, and Kylm Tee. I totally love the sonic nods to CRAVE and Planning For Burial. I think it's telling when my favourite track on the LP changes every time I revisit it. At the time of writing, I just want to have "Withdrawal" crawling under my skin. Absolutely do not miss out on this album. Part two review coming soon!

You can buy "Part I. Withering" here. Stream all the tracks below.

Pale Palace x Dancing In Slow Motion - Still Dancin

A collaboration between Pale Palace and DISM sounds sick, but we're getting an unofficial-ish remix of a remix. PP takes on "Dance4me", and adds some of that nordic magic to an already dope track. Free download on Soundcloud. Peep it.

Exsufflation - UMBRLA

It just dawned on me that there are not as many witch house remixes of Rihanna tracks, relative to how popular she once was. Here's Exsufflation taking on her most popular single, dragging the fuck out of it. Enjoy with purple glasses on. Free download here.

Megafauna - Birdsong (Live)

Brilliant, improvised ambient piece performed by Megafauna at Midsummer Music Festival in Smithers, Canada. Utilising a vast archive of bird calls, each sound is treated as a sample, modified and moulded into a liminal symphony and a dialogue between the artist and the nature. The final result manages to capture the serenity of those calls, but also the brooding feeling of something unknown perched behind each sound. Buy this recording here.

Nadine Hurley - No Weapon Formed Against me Shall Prosper

Newcastle witchy trio Nadine Hurley (Alex Wardle, James Wardle and Byron Wilson) are back with a second EP, once again released in super limited quantities on cassettes by Katnis Tapes. The most exciting new band on the UK scene atm.

There's one last copy left for sale, don't sleep and grab it here. Stream below.

Joseph Randolph - Waiting to Burn: Collected Tracks 2024-2025

"Waiting to Burn: Collected Tracks 2024-2025" does what it says on the tin - compiling ten mellow nuggets from Joe's back catalogue, stamped with the 24/25 production date. Kicking off with soothing hip-hop insturmental a'la AFTA-1 get me hooked from the get-go. Most of tracks are quite wavey.

Cop the collection here. Stream below.

Night Foundation - Mental Objects

Deseo/Realidad - Sueños De Escape

Deseo/Realidad's fourth EP, "Sueños De Escape", continues an incredible streak of drone-heavy releases, following in the footsteps of his self-titled project from March this year. On "Sueños De Escape", we get two 15-minute compositions that create a symphony of distortion and ritual trance, led by sections of alien-like glitches, pulsating rhythms, and texture-heavy soundscapes. It's a captivating listening experience that slowly unravels before us, revealing more and more intricacies as it grows. A-fucking-mazing!

Last two CDs are available here. Stream the whole thing below.

How To Dress Well - The Only True Joy On Earth (Nick León True Joy 4am Mix) // video

"

This is actually a jam! Nick León remixes HTDW's "The Only True Joy on Earth", originally found on his 2024 album "I Am Toward You", and stays true to the remix title. It does sound like something you'd hear at a club, early into the morning, drowsily moving across the dancefloor trying to get that last drink. Cop it here.

И⸸CO▽SLΛVΞ - What Is The Point

I haven't checked in with И⸸CO▽SLΛVΞ in a while, so it's good to see the dude is as prolific as he has always been. His new joint "What Is The Point" is a solid 7-minute long inspirational witch wave banger. As usual, the melody, synths, drumwork - it's all there, arranged to the maximum headnod-ometer. Get the track here.

Luminol - The Feeling That Something Is Missing

Luminol returns with a new EP "The Feeling That Something Is Missing". I'm usually not a big HNW fan, but there's something special within Luminol's sonic waves, embossed with industrial hiss and grit, that really clicked with me. The whole release is inspired by loss, which I guess one can approach in a personal manner, but for me, there is an obscure, hard-to-identify quality that just draws me in.

Imminent Death / Kate Rissiek - Rigid Horizon

Nova Scotian label Buried in Slag and Debris released this cross-border split tape last month from Imminent Death and Kate Rissiek. "Rigid Horizon" brings us two distinct sides of the experimental electronics coin. Allison of Imminent Death delivers eerie drones and industrial noise that teleport me aboard a ship lost somewhere within the Bermuda Triangle, anxiously drifting and hoping for salvation. Kate's side, on the other hand, leads the confused crew further into the abyss with harsh noise wall transmissions and shrieks of power electronics instrumentation. No one will make it alive. I am generally not 100% sold on the idea of split releases, but this one landed way better than I was expecting. Totally worth your time and money!

Tapes can be ordered here, while the digital version is available through Bandcamp. Stream below.

Modern Violenc3 - The America Tape

Merely three months after dropping their radical debut album, Modern Violenc3 return with "The America Tape". Sixteen tracks deep, this album builds on the witch-rave foundations of its predecessor, bumping the gear up with nihilistic lyrics and take-no-prisoners tempos - NOS thrown in for an extra boost. In an ideal world, this would be the official soundtrack to a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game with a forced mode to play at 1.5x speed. The chemistry between Winter's futuristic-yet-current beats and Phoebe's rap delivery is undeniable - they make sure not a single second is wasted throughout this spellbinding record. It's a stunning feat for a band so new (in a way) to build such a powerful foundation in just a few short months. I'm genuinely so excited to see what's next for them. I just hope there will be physical editions of those records!

The album is out now on Bandcamp and iTunes. Stream down below.

Witcha - Liars feat. STRFLL

"Liars" is the second single from Witcha's upcoming album "Marigold", featuring STRFLL on extra production duties. I was not expecting it to sound the way it does, its a fast and furious dancefloor tune, that gived a nod to French electro scene. Download the single here.

Dakota Rogers - Calling

Dakota Rogers released this incredible single "Calling" a few months back and I totally missed out on it. Dreamy, ethereal jam based on Burial sample that melts my heart every single time - you just can't go wrong here. Plaese support the artist if you can here.

Lover's Leap - Summer Rain

Lover's Leap returns with a brand new 2-track vinyl single on newly minted Perverse Incentives. "Summer Rain" is a deliciously dark and gritty collage of power electronics, addictive noise signals and chopped up harsh walls. Both tracks are sick, but "Belongings Scattered Around The Entrance" moves something inside me.

You can peep the digital version here. Records will be on sale soon, make sure to follow label's IG page.

Ras G - Raw Fruit Vol. 7 & 8

You can purchase this album in vinyl and tape formats here. Stream after the jump.

Exsufflation - Channel 0

Exsufflation's second album "Channel 0" came out on July 3, but I think I was subconsciously waiting for the season to change and September to arrive so I could sit down with headphones (where the raw intimacy of his lyrics truly lands) and recommend it to the world. Seven songs deep, it's Rob's most personal project to date, written and recorded during a challenging period marked by the deaths of a close friend, his grandmother, and his dog. The result is a witch house dirge that sonically pays respect to the sound of a bygone decade while lyrically offering a glimpse into Rob's mind during this difficult time. His songwriting, filled with love, grief, hope and sadness, is delivered with a voice overflowing with pain and emotion. All these feelings guide both the artist and the listener throughout the record, breaking your heart while slowly nurturing the healing process, ultimately delivering an incredibly engaging album that will undoubtedly land on my end-of-year list.

The album is still available on CD here (but be quick, 3 copies left!). Stream it in full down below.

Deeat Palace – S.c.a.n.n.e.r.

Deeat Palace released her latest album "S.c.a.n.n.e.r." in September of '25 via the French imprint Prix Libre Record. I just realised I've had this post sitting in draft mode since last year, but it was great to revisit it today. "S.c.a.n.n.e.r." furthers her exploration of the wide scope of experimental electronic music, connecting the dots between industrial, noise and power ambient to form a cinematic listening experience. It makes me think of Blade Runner for some reason. Really solid recording - check it out.

Cop the album here, there are still some tapes left. Stream below.

Volunteer Coroner - Private Renaissance

Mesmerising new release from Volunteer Coroner. "Private Renaissance" arrived via the English noise imprint Outsider Art, marking Preston's return to the label after 2021's incredible "Eternal" tape. The new project finds VC in his most well-established element, where (to my knowledge) he remains in a league of his own when it comes to blending and juxtaposing forward-facing ambient soundscapes with noise textures. There's a feeling of longing present in these tracksg, perhaps for a future that never was... Essential listening, do not miss this!

Check out the digital version here. Tapes are still available on Bigcartel. Stream in full below.

AFTA-1 - This Star

I don't have to repeat a million times that AFTA-1 is a genious and one of the best beatmakers of his generation. For the Bandcamp day, he released this groovy, bass-heavy joint that will make you bop your head whether you want it or not. So, so good. Make sure to buy the single here.

Beauty - ╳╳╳╳╳╳╳╳╳ Paradise Mixtape

Sick mixtape from Beauty, based on his Soundcloud profile made all the way back in 2024, but released on his Bandcamp just two months ago (including download option, which I appreciate 100%). Featuring DJLOSTBOI, Aphex Twin, Dean Blunt and more. Stylistically it's quite all over the place, but that's why I love it. Grab it here.

The Ceremonial Dagger - Shadows & Rhythm

MZ014 · The Ceremonial Dagger - Shadows & Rhythm

Mutant Zones' fourteenth mix comes from the vast archives of one of the most creative souls the witch house/experimental electronic scene has ever had - The Ceremonial Dagger. Musician, DJ, visual artist and creative DIY tour de force, Dagz has been an inspiration to me ever since he first surfaced on my radar back in 2011, and I'm super stoked to share this set recorded during a 2015 Shadows & Rhythm event in Austin, TX. A collage of dark synth and industrial witch house, this 30-minute sonic experience should appeal to anyone craving originality in music. Long live Dagz! You can stream the mix above and download it here.

Kutmah - Highly Illegal Fly Shit

"Highly Illegal Fly Shit" is a huge, 18-track mixtape/mash-up behemoth from Kutmah, merging (mostly) famous acapellas with underground beats including some rare joints. This one's for all the hardcore hip-hop heads. Beastie Boys on Suicide's Cheree is sick, so is the closing track with Rakim.

Support and buy the mixtape here. Stream in full below.

DN. Aideath - Noda

Military death industrial from Indonesian master DN. Aideath. Brutal soundwaves paired with glitched-out effects feel like you're dropped into a radiation-soaked frontlines. Buy here.

A Place Both Wonderful And Strange - Matter And Desire

A Place Both Wonderful And Strange have been on hiatus for many years, so the announcement of a new album a few months back was a pleasant surprise, especially because I've been following them for over a decade. The record, released by the industrial/witch house powerhouse Re:Mission Entertainment, saw the light of day in April, but it took me four months to finally sit down and give it a proper listen - and boy, did I miss out. "Matter And Desire" is fucking incredible, it takes me to places I didn't expect, and sounds unlike anything APBWAS have released prior. Sadly, I haven't had a chance to read "Matter and Desire: An Erotic Ecology" (Andreas Weber's book that inspired the album), but at face value this music is a deliriously delicious project. It oscillates between industrial and club-friendly bangers ("Shedding Velvet", "It's Not That Bad", "Muffin") and heavier, more experimental song structures - all submerged in glimpses of our protagonists' forbidden diary. It's the sort of stuff you maybe shouldn't listen to, but can't help yourself - an intoxicatingly thrilling ride. Fucking ace.

Make sure to support the band by buying the CD here. Stream the album in full below.

Rituel Encens - III

The French duo Rituel Encens (Ein Rijin and Bat Kalaayan) recorded and released their third album "III" last year, but to my surprise I never blogged about it. Yesterday, they released the album on cassette tape via their Bandcamp, so I figured it's perfect time to bring it to my blog's pages.

Grab the limited edition tapes here. Stream the album below.

LovelyEddie x Sad Madona - Scarecrowgaze (Demo)

Catching up on Sad Madona's last year's output - this two-track single recorded in collaboration with an individual called LovelyEddie sits somewhere between synthwave with extra dark glasses and shoegazing coldwave. While the "Demo" version is the more polished of the two, it's the extra lo-fi "(oct.2000)" edit that does something special for me. It has this underground, gritty 80s vibe many records had behind the Iron Curtain. Jam.

The single can be downloaded here. Stream both tracks below.

Mater Suspiria Vision - Le Masque Du Miroir (Feat. Violette De Xam) // video

"

New video single from MSV dropped earlier today, promoting the new EP "Le Masque du Miroir" and featuring clips from Cosmotropia de Xam's latest movie "Hollywood Pandemonium 2".

Mary Shelley & The Implicit Order - Spring Time Steeped In Mud

The Implicit Order has resurrected his collaborative album with Mary Shelley, "Spring Time Steeped In Mud", which was deleted from Bandcamp a few months back. The redux comes with new mixes, a slightly altered tracklist, and refreshed cover art. The original version came out last year via Phantasma Disques in CD format. I bought it the moment it dropped, but totally forgot to blog about it. Josefin and Anthony's musical partnership has always been shrouded in mystery, so I can't tell how much each contributed to these tracks, but it's worth saying echoes of their distinct styles reverberate throughout. Sonically, the album floats through phantom witch house fog stretching over an eerie lake of dark ambient, psych-drone, and post-industrial soundscapes. With its range of sounds and influences, the record is able to instantly transport you to a spooky swamp, a satanic mass, or a dew-soaked meadow at dawn all at once, without losing its thread of cohesiveness. It's one of those projects where the more you listen, the deeper you fall into its grip.

Download here and stream below.

House of Leaves & Undead Evergreen - Dead Mans Ballad

House of Leaves and Undead Evergreen (fka s3wer dweller) are back working together, and "Dead Mans Ballad" is the result. Sick witch house track, with a touch of guitar work from Evergreen. Stream here here.

Intestines - Another Vision

Intestines returns with "Another Vision", a shoegazing rap joint backed by ethereal production. It's actually a remake of his track "Visions" which appeared on last year's "Organ God" album. Great improvement! Download the track on Bandcamp here.

Black Light District - Exhausted

Black Light District's new gothic electronica single "Exhausted" sounds like something out the the Lost Boys OST. Picture a handful of handsome vampire bad boys on motorcycles racing towards the moonlight. Sick track, you can buy it here.

God Is War & The Vomit Arsonist ‎- No Country For Old Men

God Is War and The Vomit Arsonist, two stalwarts in noise circles, released a collaborative album titled "No Country For Old Men" via Deathbed Tapes earlier this year in April. Constructed by merging death industrial and power electronics, this synthesis of both the genres and artists' visions results in a heavy, brutal listen that manages to hold your attention from start to finish.

Check out the digital version here. Stream below.

The New Romantics - Now I See You

New Romantics returns with "Now I See You", a shoegazing alt-rock jammer that feels like something out of 90s. You can buy the single here.

Beauty - We Run The Skreets Mixtape

I just blogged about Beauty's new band Paradise, and two hours later found out he has a new mixtape out! "We Run The Skreets Mixtape" serves as a perfect dessert to his Vertigo Cult EP that came out two years ago, showcasing a number of influences that impact his production style. Of course there's a lot of Gucci Mane, but the original productions are what shine the most. Dope tape, make sure to buy it here.

Paradise - Strings

Paradise is a new project from the mind of Beauty, created in collaboration with an as-yet-unnamed singer. Their first single, "Strings", reverberates with echoes of the '90s dancefloor, sampled into a modern witch house/pop track. Loads of potential here—Ben has proven time and again that he is a force to be reckoned with. An amazing first release, you can buy it here.

Animal Lust - The Desire To Jump Is Overpowering The Fear Of Heights

Three new harsh noise tracks from Animal Lust landed on Bandcamp a few days, so I thought it's worth sharing them. The title speaks for itself, and AL manages to weave some power electronics into the mix, creating a depressingly bleak release that can fuck up your day if you're not in the right mood. Digging the collage on the front cover.

Download is available here. Stream below.

Pike - Warden/Nedraw

Hibernian Leather has just put out this sublime ambient cassette by Irish outfit Pike (only identified by the initials P.S and B. S). The almost 40-minute release, split into two parts, expertly merges dreamy, glacial soundscapes with submerged tape-loop samples, all occasionally dotted with desolate noise textures. With its slow, hypnagogic tempo, it feels like an out-of-body experience. Love it.

Limited tapes are available here. Stream the release down below.

White Ring - Eyes 4 U

"Eyes 4 U" is the first single off White Ring's upcoming album "Fate". The dreamy witch-pop single steers the band's sound into more radio-friendly territories, while remaining firmly rooted in their signature style.

Nameless Twin - Neon Machine Gun

At some point in time I followed on Bandcamp this artist, but completed forgot about them. Today they released a new single "Neon Machine Gun" and it just blew me away. This is like peak new wave White Ring vibe chiseled in a futuristic synth/metal marble, amazing arrangements, vocals and melody. Super stoked to check more! Make sure to cop this single here.

Jang Hun - Hundred Heartaches And You Won't Even Know Anything There

Sometimes it's just easier to copy-paste the info directly from the artist as there's no point reinventing the wheel. Jang Hun (better known as Witcha to readers of this blog) has a new release titled "Hundred Heartaches And You Won't Even Know Anything There", which is "a 60-minute-long ambient-DJ mix consisting of heavily-reverbed drones made of samples, private recordings, unreleased songs, remixes and more." The general consensus is that you should fully immerse yourself when soaking in new music, but with this ambient mega-mix/album, I feel like it works best in the passenger seat of whatever else you're doing - existing in the background and adding an extra layer of depth to life without overcrowding your mind. I really enjoyed it. Download here.
