EUSEXUA Album ∙ Electronic ∙ 2025 FKA twigs One summer night in 2022, during a break from shooting  The Crow  reboot in Prague, FKA twigs found her way outside the city to a warehouse rave, where hundreds of strangers were dancing to loud, immersive techno. The experience snapped the English polymath (singer, dancer, songwriter, actor, force of nature) out of the intense brain fog she’d been stuck inside for years—so much so that she was moved to invent a word to describe the transcendent clarity, a portmanteau of “sex” and “euphoria” (which also sounds a bit like the Greek word used to celebrate a discovery: eureka!).  EUSEXUA , twigs’ third studio album (and her first full-length release since her adventurous 2022 mixtape,  Caprisongs ), is not explicitly a dance record—more a love letter to dance music’s emancipating powers, channeled through the auteur’s heady, haunting signature style. The throbbing percussion from that fateful warehouse rave pulses through the ...

Inhale / Exhale Album ∙ Electronic ∙ 2024 RÜFÜS DU SOL After releasing their fourth album   Surrender   in 2021, RÜFÜS DU SOL declared it “the end of a chapter for us as a unit.” After years of living in their adopted hometown of LA, its members (Tyrone Lindqvist, Jon George, and James Hunt) relocated to Encinitas and Miami. As the group crafted   Inhale / Exhale   over the next two years, the physical separation required them to carve out time for joint writing sessions, where they reconvened in places such as LA, Austin, and Ibiza. “We really made the most of those two-week stints,” George tells Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “We were in a really good creative flow. We were reconnecting and particularly reconnecting in the studio more than ever.“ When “Music Is Better,” the album’s lead single, arrived in June 2024, it marked RÜFÜS DU SOL’s triumphant return. Its joyful chorus—“Music is better when we’re together”—seems as much a love song as it is a celebration of the c...

  Honey Album ∙ Electronic ∙ 2024 Caribou More than 20 years into his career, Dan Snaith continues to shape-shift as an artist. His sixth proper album as Caribou finds the 46-year-old electronic pop polymath diving headlong into big-room dance sounds, more so than ever before: French-touch-indebted synths, city-flattening wub-wub basslines, and the type of clipped-vocal UK garage melodies that pop artists like PinkPantheress have favored as of late. Snaith is taking clear inspiration from his acclaimed full-length under his dance-floor-focused Daphni moniker, 2022’s   Cherry , as well as the recent stadium-pleasing gestures from left-of-center contemporaries Jamie xx and Four Tet’s Kieran Hebden. The result is the sound of an artist newly invigorated and truly having fun with the music they’re making. Honey   isn’t the first time that Snaith has turned his attention towards body-moving music. 2010’s   Swim   fused techno’s intensity with his career-long penchant...

Cascade Album ∙ Electronic ∙ 2024 Floating Points Sam Shepherd’s not-quite-techno is the 21st-century equivalent of good progressive rock or jazz fusion: sophisticated, intelligent music whose outward sense of exploration mirrors an almost psychedelic journey within. Inspired by his teenage epiphanies with techno in Manchester in the late ’90s and early 2000s,   Cascade   is easily his most immediate album: “club bangers” (“Key103”), acid bass (“Afflecks Palace”), even a little Giorgio Moroder-style Eurodisco for good historical measure (“Birth4000”). The beats are nakedly 4/4 and the surrounding ambience the kind of moody, infinitely cascading synth tapestries you might find on a psytrance mix, rendered with a grace that makes them feel paradoxically subtle. Having done complicated, Shepherd makes it simple.
