For those unfamiliar, e-garbage was behind LLM, which we released on 24 October 2023, marking the 11th edition of Dee Dee’s Picks. A relentless sonic experimenter, he has spent years sculpting his sound from the ground up—both literally and figuratively. Known as the Swiss Frankenstein of modular, his work bridges raw electronic composition with the physicality of DIY instrument-making. By repurposing discarded materials, he builds custom sonic devices that breathe life into his productions, capturing the mechanical entrails and pulsations of the machines themselves. His music collides techno, noise, and metal influences, mesmerizing in its oddity yet always anchored in the pulse of the club. With a background in architecture, programming, and sound engineering at Geneva’s legendary Motel Campo, his work is deeply interdisciplinary, merging sound design, performance, and conceptual exploration into an unfiltered, ever-evolving practice.

His upcoming album, System 32, is set for release on 15 March 2025 via Pulse Records, a Lausanne-based collective focused on electronic music, writing, design, and arts, which he co-runs alongside Lausanne artists mono-tone, Nathan Solo, and Colas Weber. A deeply personal record, System 32 reflects on his teenage years spent lost in the digital depths of Web 2.0—hacking, coding, cracking software, and making his first tracks on FruityLoops. It carries a distinct sense of nostalgia, but also an underlying dread: a fear of watching the internet’s once-open landscape shrink behind corporate and political barriers. Sonically, System 32 channels this tension through industrial rhythms, lo-fi textures, and hacked electronics, capturing both the thrill of discovery and the creeping loss of digital freedom.

For this Echobox radio takeover, e-garbage delivers his new live set made just for the occasion. He mentions that although it is still in development, it consists of him trying new techniques and rhythms that he was using during his production phases. There are also some passages where he uses a shortwave radio that allows to capture a lot of different signals ranging from military radars to Chinese radio stations.
