Lovely electronic records from 2026

• Mammo – Lateral [Short Span]

A major new exhibition of Mammo’s music spread across a triple disc, twelve track album. Call it a compendium or summary, a network of sparking neurons and painted landscapes in techno.

It folds in all the aspects of his other identities (self-)released over the last few years into an ultimate package ~ Heaven Smile, A∞x, CoA-A, E35, Puddlerunner; really any other project Fabiano has assumed an identity under. It all finds its way into the code and format of Lateral in some way or another.

• Dust-e-1 – Return 2 Dust EP [DustWORLD]

I don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this record! I think ever since a Melbourne Deep Cast mix! It’s finally out! Definitely one of the best pieces of news of the year! Don’t take so long with the next one, Alex, pls! <3

• Pancratio – The Be Yourself EP [Faith Beat]

It’s time! This might just be my favorite Pancratio track so far! It’s so intimate, so nostalgic, always searching for the light in every passing second! It’s simply a beauty from start to finish.

This song really touches me deeply! The vocals! Everything about it is beautiful! Time for what? That would be the big question!

• DJ Popup – Love Potential EP [NES]

The “Love Potential EP” by DJ Popup is released as a 12-inch on Nes and brings together four tracks: “O‑nly”, “Love Potential”, “TWIF”, and “Beginning”.

This compact collection is clearly aimed at collectors and DJs who rely on physical house releases; the cuts are spread across two sides and maintain a clear, groove-focused structure.

• Picture – Uuuuuuuu [Short Span]

Strong new doublepack from Short Span’s increasingly prolific Natal Zaks aka Picture, following his excellent ‘Eeeeeeee’ label debut with a new set of driving, swinging specials, tipped FFO Convextion, Plastikman, Shinichi Atobe, Miles Demdike.

• Substance & Vainqueur – Libration (Stone Version) [The Third Room]

It opens with Libration (Stone Version) by Substance & Vainqueur, a revisiting of their landmark 2007 release, a track that helped define the language of Dub Techno as it is understood today.

I really can’t believe these guys are back making music! This is really special for a lot of people! I hope they release more and more music! You can never get enough of it.

• OPB – 001 [Melodykrafter]

OPB is the new alias of the mastermind behind Parallelograms. He’s one of my favorite artists in the electronic music nowdays! A beautiful record that blends downtempo and techno.

It also includes a remix by Ecolalia, does anyone know who this guy is?

• Kelela – New Avatar [Warp Records]

I just love all the music Kelela makes always! Is this pop? I don’t care! pop music has beautiful tunes! Please bring her to Mexico City to play, please!

• Lexx – In Between State [International Feel Recordings]

Dreamy & Balearic music! What more could you ask for? I just love this kind of music! It makes me feel like there’s hope in life <3

• Rhode & Brown – Multitudes [Permanent Vacation]

Following acclaimed releases on Permanent Vacation and Shall Not Fade, as well as their Panorama Bar debut, Rhode & Brown return with their second album, Multitudes.

Across nine tracks, the Munich-based duo showcase their signature versatility, moving seamlessly between dubby tech groovers, bouncy house cuts, and sleek, 90s-inspired downtempo.

Rayo De Luz is my favorite one!
