Landing page captured for the 2026-09-27 issue.
For
Listeners exploring underground electronic music
Worth noticing
The collective says early mixes were sent free to anyone who left their details on an infoline, with mostly anonymous cover art.

Field notes

The catalogue records styles including techno, breaks, bass, experimental music, noise, and samples, alongside release formats and runtimes. The about text describes an early distribution approach in which listeners left their details through an infoline to receive free mixes; it says cover art was mostly anonymous to keep attention on the music. The events section includes a dated June 2024 listing, which is historical rather than evidence of an upcoming event.
