Genre
Futurepop
EBM melodicism pushed toward anthemic pop territory. VNV Nation and Assemblage 23 defined the template in the late 90s.
-
Mondträume – Mind Games (Deluxe Edition) The Spanish futurepop project returns with their third full-length on Alfa Matrix. A time capsule walk through 90s and 00s synthpop nostalgia. -
Soft Faith – A Place to Hide (feat. Heather Nation) The New York duo bring in Heather Nation for a darkwave ballad born from divorce. Sad, beautiful, and impossible to look away from. -
Frozen Plasma – Warmongers (2026) A grimly necessary rework of the futurepop classic. Cleaner, punchier, and more relevant than ever, though not without tradeoffs. -
Neuroticfish – Skin26 The 1998 futurepop classic gets a 2026 coat of paint. Still huge, still emotional, still compulsively danceable. -
Frozen Plasma – Silberlicht A polished new single from the German futurepop duo. Vasi's synthesis work remains precise and Felix's vocals are as reliable as ever. The press release promises a genre shift. The song does not particularly deliver one. -
Alienare – Au Clair de la Lune The North German duo takes a French folk song straight to the dancefloor. Driving, digital, and built for the club. -
Third Realm – Escape Sequence Morbid Attitude Records, May 2026. Industrial futurepop that earns the range it demands. -
CATTAC – Out Of Sight Deep vocals and a throbbing bassline carry this darkwave EBM cut straight to the club floor. -
BLACKBOOK – Different The Swiss-Dutch duo deliver their third album and most cohesive statement yet. Twelve tracks that hit hard and feel human. -
Beyond Border – Aftermath The final chapter of the Welcome To The Future trilogy arrives with high energy and emotional depth. Last Dance is the standout. -
Mesh – The Truth Doesn't Matter Bristol's finest return after a decade with 16 tracks and nothing to prove. The truth may not matter, but this album absolutely does. - BLACKBOOK – Nobody Loves You A bassline-driven synthpop single from the Swiss-Dutch duo. Catchy, bittersweet, and built for dancefloors and radio alike.

Isaac Howlett – Ghosts of the Tsunami Isaac Howlett's fourth consecutive DAC chart entry finds him moving further from nostalgic synthpop into darker, more driving territory. -
Isaac Howlett – Eggshell A haunting companion piece to Empathy Test's Demons, produced by Daniel Myer. The voice is the instrument here. -
Isaac Howlett x A State of Flux – Spiralling The Empathy Test frontperson delivers his most emotionally raw solo work yet. The lyrics steal the show.
