Foreign Pavement – John Peel We Miss You

Born in code but wired with heart, Foreign Pavement arrive with a debut single disguised as a dance-floor spark. “John Peel We Miss You” channels early ’80s post-punk bite and cold-wave chill into sharp basslines, urgent guitars, and propulsive rhythms—a midnight-radio tribute to the BBC tastemaker John Peel who turned bedroom tapes into lifelines.

Opening with a pulsing analog-synth bass and cold guitars, the track mutates into a brooding electro-industrial groove where minimal synths square off against distorted EBM beats and ethereal melodies drift through the mix.

Zirkulär – Die Rote Lampe

Zirkulär is an AI-powered project crafting dystopian German synth-pop—Kraftwerk DNA with a dash of Neue Deutsche Welle. Robotic vocals, driving rhythms, and surreal AI visuals meet absurd German lyrics (see “Der elektronische Blätterteig”), spanning from the hooky to the harder edge of “Der Zoo.” Rather than a novelty, Zirkulär treats AI as a creative tool to rebuild a forgotten early-’80s feeling—cool minimalism, playful absurdity, and neon melancholy. Their debut EP, Die Rote Lampe, is now available on all major streaming services.

Valerio Chrome – Notte di Ruggine

Valerio Chrome debuts with the cinematic double A-side “Notte Di Ruggine / Nel Cuore Del Tempo”, fusing the neon romance of ’80s synthpop and Italo disco with reflective synthwave. “Notte Di Ruggine” races through midnight streets on pulsing drum machines and lush analog synths, while “Nel Cuore Del Tempo” drifts into a reverb-soaked elegy. Crafted with a warm, nostalgic, and sharply modern AI production.

Hollow Circuits – Uncle Creepy

Hollow Circuits unleashes Uncle Creepy, the first officially distributed single from the AI guitar-wave/gothic rock project, following buzz around their YouTube demos. Think early-’80s UK guitar-wave/post-punk: chorus-drenched twin guitars, tape warmth, gated reverb and long delays. Spinning a Halloween-ready tale of the glassy-eyed uncle who “whispers secrets to the sky,” it’s a perfect fit for spooky playlists. Out now on all major streaming services.
