REVIEW & TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/u

One year on from Life Isn’t A Fountain? - the Lex Records EP where archival post-punk was reanimated through meticulous sample-work - the elusive producer U returns with a project that reaches further back and digs far deeper. On ARCHENFIELD, U turns their attention to the Herefordshire borderlands, where English and Welsh histories intermingle and where myth, memory and landscape blur into one another. The album unfolds like auditory time travel: fourteen tracks built from traditional song, home-taped fragments and scraps pulled from television, radio, film and YouTube, all woven into a drifting folkloric reverie.

Rather than simply excavating the past, U examines how stories mutate through retelling, how landscapes carry collective memory, and how folklore persists in the messy ways people inhabit a place. If Life Isn’t A Fountain? channelled Thatcher-era discontent through a cracked post-punk prism, ARCHENFIELD widens the lens to probe the fragile relationship between identity and the rural environments that shape it. Dusty pianos, murmuring drones and spectral voices evoke a modern England increasingly severed from the histories beneath its feet.

To mark the release, U delivers IA MIX 397, a journey through post-punk, new wave and wayward micro-scenes. Mining forgotten corners of their collection, U mirrors the album’s central question: how the remnants of one era can speak powerfully to the uncertainties of another.

Tuxe’s debut EP Cem por Cento (100%) captures an artist shaped by constant movement, blending the distorted basslines and chopped vocals of São Paulo’s queer underground with the tropical rhythms and warm pads of Brazil’s northeast. Written between São Paulo, a Northeast tour, and a run through Europe, the EP feels like an auditory love letter to his journey. Its standout track, “Nada A Pulso,” epitomises this balance between raw and lush, pairing shimmering synths with broken beats, warped basslines, and flickering vocal fragments to create an urgent, percussive energy equally suited to a European basement or a Brazilian beach.

INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/snad

@snad steps up to deliver IA MIX 396, accompanying a feature in which he reflects on the making of his new record AM Yard on @scissorandthread. He discusses the year-long experiments behind its hazy textures, the influence of his temperamental Ensoniq DP4, the late-night nods to Chez & Trent, and the hardware-driven workflow that shaped the record. Along the way, he opens up about Berlin’s shifting musical landscape, India’s rapidly evolving club culture, and the humour, accidents and curiosity that continue to guide his sound.

Ozzy Jones issues his debut album "between you and me" on Dutch imprint Intercept. The project is the raw, urgent result of a life-altering epileptic seizure Jones suffered in 2019, an event that shattered his sense of self and forced him into solitude, reflection, and emotional reconstruction.

Pieter Dudal & Adriaan De Roover are set to release their collaborative album "Pivot Rotations" next month - a continuously mixed collage of tape loops largely taken from recordings made at live shows in Ghent, Brussels, and Meakusma Festival in Eupen.

"b" is the third track on the album, although its arrival becomes unnoticeable during the listening experience, as it drifts seamlessly between motifs and textures. The piece, and much of the album by that matter, is smothered in the warm fuzz of tape hiss - providing a comfortable constant throughout the piece for the mind to drift into.

E&A Rüeger return to mark Blizzard Audio Club’s 5-year anniversary with Flight Reflex, a synth-driven, tension-filled cut from the BAC+5 compilation. Built on evolving pads, crisp rhythmic plucks and rolling arpeggiators, the track moves between orchestral-tinged ambience and energetic 4/4 peaks. Brief but deeply resonant, it leaves an afterglow that lingers long after it ends.

INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/intrusion

When Stephen Hitchell released The Seduction of Silence in 2009 under his Intrusion alias, the double-CD immediately established itself as a landmark in the dub techno continuum. Across deep, glacial chords, cavernous bass and hypnotic atmospheres, Hitchell expanded the Berlin/Detroit lineage into something spiritual and introspective – a meditative art form rooted in emotion, texture and stillness rather than club-function alone.

Sixteen years on, The Seduction of Silence returns in its most definitive form, with both Part 1 and Part 2 now finally available on vinyl for the first time. Remastered and cut by Stefan Betke (POLE), the records unlock new depth and dimensionality, offering a fully immersive experience for both longstanding admirers and new listeners.

Part 1 traces the genesis of Intrusion, sparked by Hitchell’s rediscovery of a Sequential Circuits Prophet 2000 sampler containing fragments of his ’90s experiments. Revived during a period of transition – long hours in record distribution, a move to Chicago’s lakeside, impending fatherhood – those sounds became the foundation for weighty yet introspective dub, heard vividly in Montego Bay and Intrusion Dub.

Part 2 carries a more expansive, improvisational feel, influenced by the late Phillip C. Hertz, Hitchell’s colleague at Crosstalk Distribution. Recorded through live jams and experimental sessions, this chapter drifts into deeper ambient-dub territory, paying tribute to collaboration, community and the fluidity of sound.

Together, both parts form a deeply personal document of life, art and devotion to sound. Alongside this feature, Hitchell shares a live recording from his New York debut at Public Records in July 2025, hosted by Zen/Echo – an intimate Intrusion performance in full analog drift.

Ethnomusicology plays a central role in the work of Aukio Sound, Helsinki-based electronic artist and DJ, and this @futuraresistenza release is no different. Drawn from recordings made during his time in Benin, the 4-track EP contains two tracks with their own alternate dub versions to compliment.

Both works feature vocal feature from singer John Follass, the two meeting in Grand-Popo and recording 6 tracks in collaboration. With this material in hand, Aukio Sound returned to Helsinki to produce and master the work into the driving dub-techno heard on the EP.

On Saturday 15 November, Border Community alumni The MFA (@mfallstars) joined us at Inverted Audio Record Store in Peckham to celebrate the reissue of The Difference It Makes, featuring new remixes from Joe Goddard and Nathan Fake. Huge thanks to everyone who came down and made the evening so special.

Dutch imprint @fieldrecords reveal the release of 'Epilogue', a new triple vinyl pack from American producer Mike Parker (@geophone), revisiting the artist’s celebrated output on the now-defunct German record label Prologue. Across the collection, Parker’s productions balance stripped-back techno with finely tuned textures, veering between subliminal pulses and visceral impact while maintaining the austere alien-like character that has become his signature.
