In these times of anxiety and deprivation, journey to a place of sensual attainment on A Sky So Close, the elegantly erotic new album from producer Eric Hilton. A Sky So Close delivers classic trip-hop sounds over 12 tracks of pure sensory indulgence.

Hilton’s luxurious production skills are on full display here, as well as the deep grooves that he’s been delivering since the early days of Thievery Corporation, the legendary downtempo combo he co-founded in the mid-90’s. But on A Sky So Close, there is a hedonic weightlessness to this music that verges on the tantric, with no climactic finish to bring the listener back down to earth. Hilton keeps you floating in an extended, delicious haze.

Let go, and fall into the sky. It is…..so…..close.

“Future Quiet” marks a remarkable new chapter for one of electronic music’s most influential and visionary artists. Across fourteen tracks spanning modern piano minimalism, immersive ambient soundscapes and several vocal collaborations, Moby reflects on the tension between hyper-connected modern life and the deep human need for silence.

Carpenter Brut is inspired by television series and B-movies of the 80s. The mysterious synthesizer sound is reminiscent of an encounter between the beats of Justice and the universe of John Carpenter.

On ten tracks, “Leather Temple”, the third and final chapter of the Leather trilogy, conveys a raw and nervous energy, somewhere between saturated electro, industrial fever and synthetic beats of the 90s. Behind this intensity, however, there is also a cinematic and orchestral dimension with arrangements that broaden the horizon and give it dramatic depth. A compact format, a constant intensity: “Leather Temple” is all about impact, striking a balance between raw immediacy and the feel of a post-apocalyptic movie soundtrack.

1. Ouverture (Deus Ex Machina)
2. Major Threat
3. Leather Temple

Outside the pure listening pleasure, “Nebulous Nights” seeks to underline the importance of critical thinking and curious pondering. To foster a mindset that allows for exploration and personal growth, by not limiting one’s imagination and inquiry to a particular worldview or framework.

Encapsulated beautifully in this quote by Albert Einstein: The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all art and science. To whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.

We recommend headphones for full immersion.

ARCHIVE,  the unique, enigmatic and acclaimed collective who formed in Croydon, South London in 1994, announce details of their 13th studio album Glass Minds, which is released on Friday 27th February 2026 via the band’s own Dangervisit label through [PIAS]. The announcement comes with the first single from the album Look At Us accompanied by a visually stunning video directed by Maxim Kelly.

Produced by Archive and long-term collaborator Jerome Devoise, recorded at Metway Studios, Brighton & Angel Studios, London and mixed at Studio DES, Paris. The album artwork was designed by Saatchi Gallery collected artist Alaric Hammond.

Glass Minds is the follow-up to the band’s 2022 triple-album set, Call to Arms & Angels, which charted Top 10 in countries right across Europe and saw the band headline their biggest live shows to date, culminating at the 15,000 capacity Paris Accor Arena in November 2023.

Talking about the new album, Darius Keeler of ARCHIVE said: The album all started after we composed the song Patterns. We really loved the space and minimalistic power of the song, it reminded us of our debut album Londinium, and how we approached writing at that time – heavy rhythm with a melancholy that penetrates the soul. I was listening to Elgar’s Nimrod a lot at the time we started writing the new album, and I wanted to use brass as an added dimension, bringing even more emotion to the songs. Our last album, Call to Arms & Angels was a pretty heavy record in retrospect, due to the whole Covid experience. This one feels like we’re breaking out into a more expansive and uplifting dimension.

Crafted through years of reflection and experimentation, The Essence presents Kalkbrenner’s most stripped-down, emotional, and analog-rich sound to date. He trades big-room aesthetics for warmth, intimacy, and depth—delivering music that feels deeply lived-in and unmistakably his own.

Kalkbrenner describes the album as an “archive of personal states of being,” created during a time when he no longer thought in album form. Yet the final result reconnects his ideas, feelings, and sonic explorations into a beautifully cohesive body of work. The emotion lies not in narrative but in texture, tone, and atmosphere.

Much of the album was shaped in his Berlin apartment—used not as a traditional studio, but as a personal sound sanctuary with dim lights, vintage furniture, and analog instruments. This unique setting contributed to the album’s warm, tactile character, where every sound carries the glow of wood and tungsten.

Featuring standout tracks like “Ninety – Two” and “Que Ce Soit Clair” with Stromae, The Essence highlights Kalkbrenner’s timeless instinct for melody and rhythm. As he states,
“This is an album I can fully stand behind. It has no filler—not even a filler moment.”

A must-have for fans of techno, electronic music, and collectors of Kalkbrenner’s groundbreaking work.
