This year’s FORMS OF HANDS Festival compilation provides an unprecedented glimpse into the extremes of the HANDS spectrum. As usual, ALL TRACKS are EXCLUSIVE!
Eight of the featured artists are supporting their new albums, offering a deep dive into their evolving sounds. From the tribal mysticism of SIAMGDA ꕾ MARIE to the upfront techno energy of STATIQBLOOM + BLUSH RESPONSE, from the alluring noir seduction of ESPECTRA NEGRA to the punishing rhythmic onslaught of MASCHINENKRIEGER KR52 - this is HANDS at its most expansive.
Beyond these album-linked glimpses, the rest of the compilation pushes boundaries even further. TEMPLER conjures brooding ritualistic techno, NULLVEKTOR hooks into your brain with an irresistible electro earworm, and MONOLITH returns with his signature brand of distorted force.
SUPERSIMMETRIA takes a dark and moody plunge into speculative realms, MONO NO AWARE crafts an offbeat killer in his unmistakable style, and ORPHX delivers an absolute standout: Pox Americana 2025, a reimagining of a 20-yearold HANDS track, modernized with cutting-edge sound design and featuring the unmistakable voice of the orange menace himself.
Released May 2025 on Hands.
