Review: After ten years of silence, 'Regimen Galactico Totalitario' materialises as the new release of the Mexican producer Dellarge, renowned for his experimental noise project I.N.R.I. (Industria Nacional del Ruido Infinito). On this latest mini-album, Dellarge propels his vision of today's evolution of EBM toward a futuristic blend of breakbeat, industrial, and electro, synthesising the an apt soundtrack for a future apocalypse, were it somehow quantized and filtered through a killer sequencer ahead of time. All instrumental, and with every track firing off its acid sixteenths as if each semiquaver were escaping a micro-fusion-powered mech-blaster, every track until 'Hades' is breakneck; that is until the EP commits to a tempo drop, as if to evoke the fact that most of the carnage has been meted out, and that all that's left is for the mechsuits to do now is dance an evil victory dance. Limited to just 300 copies, this is an end of the world you won't want to miss (how could you?).

Review: Oraculo Records once again calls upon the services of its long-time partner Carlos Grabstein, who heads up the Berlin label MISERIA Records, to curate a superb selection of his best releases to date in vinyl format. This is the first time this has ever been done and comes in a double gatefold sleeve, is limited to just 300 copies and comes lacquered and pressed on 180-gram wax with all tracks specially mastered for the job. The MISERIA label started only in 2021 as a DIY cassette and digital outlet but is now well known for its ultra-rare synth-based darkwave compilations.
