Confusion Inc. has just released “Crawler (DJ Mixes),” a new remix-focused drop from dark electronic artist Slighter. Reimagined for the dancefloor, the release gives Crawler a full DJ remix treatment—reshaped with club-ready energy and deeper rhythmic pressure.
Adding extra weight for dedicated listeners, the release also includes a Bandcamp-exclusive “dub” version, stripping things down to their raw, hypnotic core. It’s a release designed for late-night sets, industrial-adjacent dancefloors, and anyone who prefers their electronics dark, immersive, and functional.
Crawler (DJ Mixes) is available now, continuing Confusion Inc.’s steady output of forward-leaning underground electronic releases.
Simon Carter has kicked the doors open on 2026 with the release of Welcome, a new EP engineered for the underground. Designed to hit hardest after midnight, the record dives headfirst into shadow-soaked spaces where rhythm rules and the outside world fades away.
Built across four hypnotic techno cuts, Welcome thrives on driving basslines, industrial grit, and a relentless forward motion. Each track locks into a deep pulse, layering mechanical textures and pressure-heavy grooves that feel tailor-made for dark rooms, late nights, and packed dance floors.
This EP isn’t about easing listeners in—it’s about total immersion. From the first beat to the last echo, Welcome establishes Simon Carter’s intent for the year ahead: uncompromising energy, raw atmosphere, and a sound rooted firmly in the underground.
If this release is any indication, 2026 is arriving loud—and Simon Carter is setting the tone.
A slow pulse. A frozen loop. A track designed not to move you—but to stop you. spankthenun has officially announced Rigor Mortis, a release that operates less like a traditional song and more like a sustained psychological state.
❄️ A Loop That Refuses to Die
At the core of Rigor Mortis lies a loop that never fully resolves. It pulses steadily, mechanically, as if unearthed rather than written. The beat is slow, deliberate, and unrelenting, while a minimal hook repeats just enough to bypass conscious thought and settle directly into the body. This is repetition as ritual—designed to linger long after the sound stops.
“We unearthed a loop that never stopped pulsing.”
Rather than building toward release or climax, Rigor Mortis traps the listener in suspension. The track doesn’t escalate—it locks in, holding its ground with clinical precision.
🩸 Hypnosis Over Emotion
This is not a song meant to provoke feeling in the traditional sense. Instead, it explores detachment, stillness, and the eerie calm that follows overstimulation. The simplicity is intentional. The restraint is the weapon.
“A slow beat and simple hook hypnotize the body long after the mind has checked out.”
The experience feels physical before it feels emotional—muscle memory responding while the mind drifts elsewhere. It’s industrial minimalism at its most unsettling.
🧊 When Numbness Means It’s Working
Perhaps the most chilling aspect of Rigor Mortis is its mission statement. The track embraces emotional absence as success, leaning into coldness as a final form rather than something to escape.
“If you feel nothing when you hear it, that means it is working.”
There’s no comfort here. No catharsis. Just the slow acceptance of stillness as the beat continues, indifferent to the listener’s response.
⚙️ A Condition, Not a Song
Rigor Mortis feels less like a standalone release and more like a state of activation—something that spreads gradually, tightening its grip over time. It’s built for headphones, isolation, and late-night immersion, where repetition becomes oppressive and silence feels louder than sound.
istortion Productions ignites the underground with a release built for sweat-drenched dancefloors and shadow-lit neon nights.
Amulet Returns With a Filthy, High-Voltage Statement ⚡🔥
Distortion Productions has unleashed “Dirty Hard Beats (XXX)” by Amulet, a release engineered for bodies that crave movement and minds that thrive in the darker corners of electronic energy. This isn’t just a track — it’s a physical experience, built from steel-cut rhythms, filthy bass grit, and a pulse that refuses to quit.
Amulet leans deep into raw circuitry and hedonistic groovecraft, crossing industrial grit with club-level heat. “Dirty Hard Beats (XXX)” is exactly what the title hints at — dangerous, sweaty, unapologetically rhythm-driven, and tailor-made for nights when nothing matters except the beat and the body.
This is Amulet at their most primal. This is Distortion Productions doing what they do best — feeding the underground.
The Sound: Sleaze, Steel & Sonic Sin 💣🖤
This release taps into a lethal blend of:
Dirty industrial percussion
XXX-grade swagger
Gutter-slick bass hits
Sweat-dripping, no-apology groove
If you want clean, polished, pristine electronics — this isn’t it. If you want grit, heat, and attitude — welcome home.
“Dirty Hard Beats (XXX)” feels like the soundtrack to an after-hours basement rave where the lights never come on and everyone knows exactly why they’re there.
Amulet: A Name Rising from the Smoke 💀
Amulet continues to grow into one of the scene’s most unapologetically visceral acts. Their sonic identity embraces industrial electronics stripped down to their filthiest core — the place where rhythm takes over and intention becomes instinct.
Every release sharpens their edges a little more. “Dirty Hard Beats (XXX)” sharpens them to a knife point.
Distortion Productions: The Factory of Dark Energy ⚙️
Distortion Productions remains one of the most trusted and hard-charging labels in the alternative electronic world. Their catalog is a constant engine of industrial, dark electro, EBM, and everything adjacent to the shadows.
With this release, they continue their streak of championing artists who push boundaries, break floors, and hit harder than the mainstream ever dares.
A genre-bending fusion of synthwave, EBM, and industrial darkwave that pulls no punches
Re:Mission Entertainment just announced Conflicted, the forthcoming album from Fermion, dropping July 25th—and it’s already being hailed as their most intense and fully realized release yet.
The New Jersey-based duo, Augustine Backer and Eric Shans, have been steadily pushing the boundaries of modern electronic music. With Conflicted, they channel the raw emotion of synth-driven melodies into pounding, dystopian rhythms that blur the line between EBM, industrial, darkwave, and synthwave—offering a sonic journey that’s as introspective as it is danceable.
Stay tuned for pre-orders, track previews, and a full breakdown of the album’s conceptual themes, which promise to strike deep into the tension between self-awareness and struggle.
