electronica

Electronica and Dubstep: music defined by its frenetic pace and plethora of bleeps, bloops, blips and bass.

The Beautiful Chaos of Cake
Step onto the dance floor at Casbah, and the first thing that strikes you isn’t the sound, it’s the world. It is a striking juxtaposition of industrial grit and ethereal dreaming, a space that feels simultaneously vast and intensely intimate. Metallic hexagonal panels scale the walls like a futuristic honeycomb, vintage gramophone horns loom near sleek neon lettering, and a tempestuous, cinematic sky burns with a perpetual sunset in the background.

Theremin - A Playlist
Introduction The theremin is an unconventional electronic instrument, named after its Soviet inventor Léon Theremin in 1928, and which doesn't require any contact to be operated. The fruit of research into proximity sensors, the theremin's setup is usually consisting of two metal antennas that sense the distance to the player's hands and react accordingly, one controlling the volume of the sound, and the other controlling the frequency and therefore the pitch. By moving both hands in the air and changing the distance to the antennas, musicians produce an eerie electronic sound.

Into the Noise
Miami’s underground electronic scene is about to get a jolt of raw, immersive energy. Enter Nosivel—the sonic alter ego of David Levison, whose live sets blur the line between industrial intensity, techno drive, and glitch-heavy experimentation. Known for building his music in real time using modular synthesis, Nosivel doesn’t just perform tracks, he constructs evolving soundscapes that feel alive, unpredictable, and deeply physical.

Why Drum and Bass Suddenly Sounds Like a Lost N64 Game
In the late 1990s, a strange collision of technology and culture produced a sound that felt like the future. Gaming consoles like the Sony PlayStation, the Nintendo 64, and the Sega Dreamcast were pushing video games into fully 3D worlds for the first time. At the same moment, underground rave culture was evolving into new forms of breakbeat music, specifically jungle and drum and bass. The aesthetic overlap between the two ended up creating something accidental but iconic: the sound of the polygon era.

Orbit Radiate Pulse: The Videos
In October 2025, I discovered an app called Grok. It added a whole new layer to my creativity. At first, I used it for silly things, like making photos of my mom and me screaming at each other. It was really funny. But pretty quickly, I realized I could use Grok to bring my Gloria stories to life.

Playlist: one old favourite, two new
That Clare - Get Away Anyone who rates Songs of Faith and Devotion as her all-time favourite album and picks out Cabaret as another major influence is alright in my book. Teesside’s That Clare produces elegantly dystopian electro pop with a strong political slant.

How to Send Demos to Electronic Music Labels
For many electronic music producers, finishing a track is the easy part. The difficult part comes next: sending it to record labels and hoping someone on the other end actually presses play.

The Dual Identity of Dmitry Grakhov: Why One Musical Lane Was Never Enough
I recently had the chance to sit down with Dmitry Grakhov, a producer who refuses to be put in a box. In an industry that often tells artists to "pick a lane" and stay there, Dmitry manages to operate in two completely different spheres. To the world of hip-hop, he is known as 1MEZ, a sharp lyricist and producer. To the electronic scene, he is HILLYSAM, an architect of deep, atmospheric soundscapes.
