The Numb Project – A Space Between

Exploring Silence: The Numb Project’s A Space Between
The Numb Project invites listeners into an evocative voyage with their latest album, “A Space Between.” This third LP release from Portland-based producer Chris Calarco in just 11 months showcases his profound ability to entwine downtempo beats with the resonance of abstract hip-hop and moody chillout electronic aesthetics.
Calarco taps into the abstract realms, where sound is not just heard but felt, forging a brooding atmosphere that acts as a perfect canvas for contemplation. The album examines themes of interpersonal connections and introspection, revealing how silence wields the power to create bonds. Masterfully mixed by Tony Welter and meticulously mastered by Shawn Hatfield, “A Space Between” revels in its melodic depth and textured soundscapes, pushing boundaries within dub-inspired trip-hop.
This is not merely music for the soul but a formidable piece for enthusiasts of chillout electronic sounds seeking a meditative escape into the ethereal. Engage with the music, let the vibrant silence speak.
Maybe Human – Early Man

Cascading Psychedelic Sounds: The Evolution of “Early Man”
Maybe Human‘s latest release, “Early Man,” crafts a sonic journey through the annals of time. This EP, heavily influenced by C.K. Kadrell’s artistic philosophies, deftly adds a psychedelic twist to its narrative. The music is a melange of art rock and psychedelic tones, fashioned with haunting prog guitar riffs that thread minimalist production. Collaborating with John Elkin, Maybe Human explores the modern mystical against the backdrop of ancient wisdom, painting evocative stories of survival and primal connection.
Within the six tracks, listeners traverse a soundscape as raw and entrancing as the untamed wild. Tunes like “Crushing and Grinding” evoke the shamanic consciousness, transcending mortal confines, while “Aurochs Bull” narrates the primal essence of man. Recorded at Garden Ave Studios in Los Angeles, this EP stands as a testament to the kaleidoscopic dialogue between past and present, weaving both musical and metaphysical reflections that resonate beyond time. “Early Man” is perhaps Maybe Human’s most entrancing addition to their discography till date.
Brudini – Rogue Oligarch

A Sonic Prophecy Awakened: Brudini’s “Rogue Oligarch”
Brudini‘s “Rogue Oligarch” isn’t just a single—it’s a blistering extravaganza in the dark wave genre that has found its time amidst the chaos of 2025. Originally a B-side track from 2020, this post-punk disco assault conjures echoes of the prolific spirit of bands like Suicide. It’s a piece marked by aggressive guitar riffs and a dynamic, free jazz brass infusion recorded in Istanbul. The narrative unfolds with Brudini’s unique voice and the wild improvisations of Taskin Akarsu and Baris Dogukan, creating a soundscape that stands as a testament to the artist’s transcontinental collaboration ethos.
After its absence from public consciousness, a strategic revival during East London performances turned this track into an unexpected anthem—a dual embrace of intensity and dark satire against the backdrop of our time. With its violent undertones and satirical edge, “Rogue Oligarch” has tapped into the zeitgeist, beckoning listeners to revel in its prophetic resonance, and solidifying Brudini as a pioneering force on the avant-garde.
Yulan & Blaise – God Complex

“God Complex” by Yulan & Blaise: A Journey Through Electroacoustic Marvel
Prepare to be transported to another galaxy with Yulan & Blaise’s debut single “God Complex,” launched on November 22, 2024. This Australian-American duo, comprised of Yulan Jack and Blaise Garza (of Violent Femmes fame), is breaking ground with a sound inspired by the ‘Bristol Sound’ and 90s sci-fi soundtracks. This track invites reflection on ambition, love, and the questions of who is left behind in an age dominated by Main Character Syndrome.
“God Complex” blurs the boundaries of downtempo electronica with haunting vocals and a mesmerizing EWI (electronic wind instrument) performance, juxtaposed against the ancient tones of shakuhachi flute and erhu. Recorded partly at Frying Pan Studios with the legendary REDD.17 desk and partly in their living room, the song achieves a balance both expansive and intimate.
Within their multidisciplinary prowess, Yulan & Blaise craft a narrative world reflecting endcore’s spirit – “a post-everything world” feeling. Their musical innovation is beautifully captured in a dystopian music video set in an abandoned Tasmanian factory, promising a compelling, contemplative experience.
LÂLKA – Willfire

Sonic Rebellion: LÂLKA Invokes Inner Fire with Willfire
LÂLKA unleashes her latest opus, “Willfire,” an electrifying EP set to ignite dance floors and souls alike. Released on November 6, 2024, via Tomboi Records, this project brilliantly melds experimental electronic pop with culturally resonant narratives. Drawing from the Chinese concept of “Zhì,” LÂLKA explores the unyielding passion that fuels creativity, encapsulating the transformative energy that compels dancers to lose themselves in rhythm.
The EP makes waves with singles like “Yves Klein,” a bass-heavy trap number with ethereal synths mirroring the French artist’s iconic blue to evoke invigorating melancholy, while “Yuh” confronts societal misconceptions of female anger through a dynamic blend of trap and traditional Chinese sounds.
“Willfire” not only showcases LÂLKA‘s unparalleled prowess as a producer and performer but also echoes her commitment to inclusivity. Her pre-release party celebrated BIPOC and queer artists, underlining her dedication to community and diversity. LÂLKA‘s sonic rebellion continues, promising transformative experiences for her listeners.
