After unveiling a first wave of names for their Dislocation Project which is said to focus on “exploring the collapsed relationship between periphery and centre, the shifting idea of borders, and the specificity of place”, Unsound just revealed the second part of the events’ line-up, which’ll be staggered between 2016 and 2018 all around the globe.

Tresor celebrate 25 Year Anniversary with four-day festival

Pavel Milyakov: Yalta
A record simultaneously so lo-fi yet well-polished is a rare combination. And it doesn’t feel overthought in the slightest – an organic and impulsive journey to the coast, unplanned and exciting. And considering the creative output Milyakov enjoys while in this unique, pine-blessed region beside the sea – it must be something in the air.
Premiere: Pjoni – VVR Asylum
Exploring the fringes of listening ease and audio curves, Pjoni’s ‘Liminal Zones’ dares going in places few want to investigate nowadays. Don’t expect a proper rhythm, no groove, no mellifluous harmony. Stream the arrythmic ‘VVR Asylum’ in full within.
Robert Lippok : Open Close Open
Lippok’s EP was originally released on Raster Noton back in 2001, and receives a deserved reissue on clear wax complete with an additional bonus track. Expectations of 15 year old electronic music can sometimes be low yet Flau’s tasteful choice proves excellent.
Terraforma: A World For The Senses
The mystical bond between nature and sound has proven once again that music is not only something you hear but a physical vibration that shakes both the earth and skies in one go. Terraforma gave birth to an idyllic world free of the bourns that would impede its expansion to weave the sound and universe as one.
Unsound Toronto x Luminato Festival
A wave of furious, dusted-up and dishevelled splendour that came over the Hearn Generating Station in Toronto on the weekend June 10th – as the venerable festival institution Unsound was invited to curate two days worth of programming at a venue that came off as a vast, dystopian wonderland.
DJ Sotofett / SVN: Current 82 (12 Mix) / Dark Plan 5
Between the forward-moving swing of SVN’s airless techno roller and the sky-scraping lift of Sotofett’s track, it’s only a matter of taste. Quality itself is a constant.
Michal Turtle: Phantoms Of Dreamland
Following their hugely successful 12″ released last year – a sublime slab of proto-house and a fine reintroduction to Turtle’s music – ‘Are You Psychic?’ – the eighties synth exponents of Music From Memory are back with a full-length of unreleased Turtle tracks.
Tutto Questo Sentire explore sound in Tuscany with Mark Fell, Olivia Salvadori, Oren Ambarchi
Tutto Questo Sentire is a five day artist-run residency in Tuscany that brings together a group of international researchers to reflect and explore their own personal practices in relation to the experience of sound.
Whodamanny: Cosmic Morphology
As its title suggests, ‘Cosmic Morphology’ beats the jagged pulse of a transmuting flux, intrepidly rollicking through offbeat, experimental yet groovy fields rather than executing another line of tried-and-tested harmonics.
Soulomon reflects on Magnetic Archive
As the release of his debut instalment for newborn Italian label New Interplanetary Melodies comes closer, we caught up with Soulomon to discuss the long-coming release of his 3-track EP and sound evolution. Stream ‘Magnetic Archive’ within.

Following up to the announcement of a stellar first wave of artists, Berlin Atonal line-up expands with the incorporation of Moritz von Oswald & Rashad Becker, Porter Ricks, Mika Vainio, Jonas Kopp, Ron Morelli and more…
Huerco S: For Those Of You Who Have Never (And Also Those Who Have)
By its nature ambient music often comes across as throwaway, too vague to really engage with. ‘For Those of You…’ proves that an uncompromising commitment to tone and atmosphere over everything else can show sound at its most lucid and eloquent.
Video Premiere: Morkebla – ASFR Lover
Drawing its title from sci-fi author William Gibson’s Sprawl Trilogy, Morkebla’s ‘Ono-Sendai Cyberspace’ is an album that operates on the fringes of futurism and nostalgia, synthesizing leftfield techno try-outs and gunmetal ambient vistas from a demiurgic perspective.
Graham Dunning: Auxon
Auxon is the first recorded documentation of Graham Dunning’s Mechanical Techno set up. Part installation, part hardware rave system…layers of vinyls spinning on record player axles are used to bash contact mics or trigger drum machines and synths, which are mixed and manipulated live.
