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.

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.

Eupen's multi-dimensional platform, festival and record label @meakusma return with "New Chapter", a 9-track vinyl release from Cologne-based artist Viola Klein. The record expands on material drawn from Klein’s 2024 release "Confidant" and her collaboration with the Sabar Ensemble Diop from Saint-Louis, Senegal.

Our pick from the release is "Kassem Mosse’s Snooze Mix" - a silky smooth, low-slung house excursion stretching over eleven minutes. The track pulses with Kassem Mosse’s signature beat architecture, tinged with that touch of uncanny beauty that makes his work so distinctive. A mesmerising groove, crisp rim-shots and tapping hi-hats intertwine to form a hypnotic slow burner for the deep-house heads.

@kr3_records round out their fifth anniversary with a split extended player from Jin Synth and Marco Maldarella. Dubbed 'The Neural Abyss', the release "invites listeners on a profound exploration of hypnotic, deep brainwave states".

Bologna-based Marco Maldarella's contribution "Sulcus" is the focus of today's premiere. Where previous releases highlight lush, atmospheric techno infused with acid flourishes, "Sulcus" expands on the sounds Maldarella explored on their 2024 release with Dutch imprint Omen Wapta, 'Clinamen'.

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.

Indian imprint Qilla Records (@qilla) returns with 'Shapeshifter' - a precision-engineered deep techno release from Delhi-based producer Siddhartha Sharma aka ARTIFVCT.

Spanning six tracks, @artifvctmusic distils the intensity of his sound into something sharper, darker, and more physical. Each track feels meticulously forged, with every rhythm and texture serving a deliberate purpose. From the pulse of 'The Cleansing' to the entrancing sway of 'Nimbus', Shapeshifter demonstrates an artist in control of his craft.

@odpein return with Somebody Meant It - a manic yet cohesive electro-driven EP and their first full release since 2023. Featured track "Grief" serves as the penultimate track on the EP - a high-energy, high-performance, hyper taste of the electro sound prevalent throughout the project.

Founded in April 2024, Australian imprint DU:RA has quickly mapped out its sound through a series of digital outings, drawing on strands of deep techno, house and bass-driven electronics. The label now marks a new chapter with its first vinyl release, delivered by fellow co-founder n-trip.

The four-track EP highlights n-trip’s approach to sound design and atmosphere, moving fluidly between submerged textures, heavyweight rhythms and raw machine energy. MML' is built around a pounding bass drum and flickering glacial synths, maintaining a taut tension across its runtime.
