Kieran Hebden and William Tyler: 41 Longfield Street Late ’80s review – Four Tet fries his formative country influences

Lyle Lovett meets brain-scouring distortion on the electronic musician’s surprisingly un-nostalgic collaboration with former Lambchop guitarist Tyler

‘He should be known as a film music revolutionary’: revitalising the legacy of Czech composer Zdeněk Liška

The electroacoustic pioneer scored dozens of pictures – and communist propaganda. Too successful to be persecuted by the politburo but largely forgotten when he died, his music is being revived by a new archival series

‘The epitome of amazingness’: how electroclash brought glamour, filth and fun back to 00s music

Witty, foul-mouthed, camp and punky, it was the 00s answer to slick superclubs and the rock patriarchy. As its rough, raw sound returns, the scene’s eyeliner-ed heroes, from Peaches to Jonny Slut, relive its excesses

Sacred Lodge: Ambam review – heady, hypnotic beats inspired by the hollers of Equatorial Guinea

Matthieu Ruben N’Dongo amps up the intensity on a second album that makes an uncanny atmosphere out of swarming electronics, grisly vocals and polyrhythmic percussion

End of the Road review – from industrial rackets to pristine folk, festivals don’t get more varied or vital

Full of warmth despite the rain, highs include Mexico City experimentalists Titanic and Vermont songwriter Lily Seabird’s gorgeously open-hearted voice

Aphex Twin, a Brixton squat and a load of wet mattresses: revisiting Telepathic Fish, the heart of the 90s chillout boom

Before it became naff music for health spas, chillout was cool – and this London club night was key. As a new generation carry its spirit forward, the originators remember the beats and bedding

‘Optimism is very important, especially now’: why Sammy Virji’s joyful dance tracks are conquering the world

His masterful mix of all that is good from the UK bass scene has led to Coachella success and collabs with Giggs and Skepta – the future looks bright for this bashful star

Emma Louise on her late-in-life autism diagnosis: ‘I wish I knew earlier, because I’ve suffered so much’

The singer’s diagnoses with autism and ADHD have fueled a collaborative album with Flume titled Dumb – a word that ‘captures everything that I’ve had to overcome’

Add to playlist: Yingtuitive’s dream-logic electronics and the week’s best tracks

The Singapore-raised, London-based producer captures the poignancy of living restlessly on her luminous debut album

Autumns: Basic Face review – sinister vocals, metallic sounds and mutant cowbells

With its beefy rhythms and intense, unrelenting tracks, the prolific Irish producer follows the classic EBM formula to sweaty effect

For Those I Love: Carving the Stone review – bracing anger at Irish social stasis

The raw grief of David Balfe’s first album may have faded to a bruise, but his spoken-word fury is as strong as ever in these hyper-focused stories of poverty and exploitation

Ninajirachi: I Love My Computer review – a surprisingly moving tribute to 2010s EDM

The Australian producer’s debut album pays homage to the blustering, bombastic genre of her adolescence. The BPM soars and so do the feelings

AraabMuzik: Electronic Dream 2 review – the return of a maximalist MPC wizard

This sequel retains the original’s generation-defining mix of dread and debauchery, although it is overshadowed by recent bolder versions of the sound

DJ K: Radio Libertadora! review – explosive, cacophonous baile funk witchcraft

Kaique Vieira’s latest ‘bruxaria’ album is even bolder and louder than his 2023 debut, as he brings revolutionary spirit to the funk sound of São Paolo

Fire destroys main stage at Belgium’s Tomorrowland festival on eve of opening

Blaze came a day before thousands of electronic dance music fans were set to descend on the Belgian event
