Mike Gnacadja, aka MikIX the Cat, drops his first EP for Paris-based label Abracada this month with a little help from Brooklyn pop singer Shannon Swain. The resulting EP is poppy at times, but refuses to be pegged down by any one genre or sylistic edge.

After a two year hiatus, the prolific Mia Grobleny is back on the scene with Survivor Pt. 1 on the Sub Static record label. She brings her own brand of cerebral, bass-driven techno that is marked by her playful exploration of melody.

Kenton Slash Demon are Jonas Kenton and Silas Moldenhawer, who also make up half of the pop outfit When Saints Go Machine. While WSGM is synthesizer heavy, K / D sounds organic, maybe as a reaction to their pop history.

Oliver Ho and longtime friend Tommy Gillard team up for two warp-inspired bangers and their spaced-out side dishes of ambient abstraction, trading in a bit of the bang for a stress test of new sounds.

After more than a decade of remaining quietly in the background, G's first ever solo album has finally arrived. An uncompromising, hauntingly beautiful journey through McBean's own experiences, Still Here (Get Down) is an album that represents a constantly evolving fantasia of sound, with every track possessing a stylish melodic spectrum all their own.

Hot on the heels of his excellent album "Entropic City", Belgian producer Peter Van Hoesen drops a slab of grinding techno that's heavy without being too oppressive.
