Blurred Hologram released FM_I/AM_I on February 22, 2026, a four-track dub/minimal EP that repurposes 1980s Peruvian radio and TV jingles into sparse, delay-forward minimal techno. The release arrived on Bandcamp as a compact statement built entirely from found audio sources, positioning archival advertising and station idents as rhythmic material rather than background noise.

The EP is explicitly constructed from found audio sources drawn from 1980s Peruvian broadcasts, and those source elements are the spine of each piece on FM_I/AM_I. Blurred Hologram folded those jingles into dub-inflected arrangements, keeping the original melodic fragments audible while recontextualizing them in minimal structures and production choices that emphasize space and echo. The combination foregrounds the jingles’ melodic hooks while stripping them to looped motifs suitable for club play or home listening.

The Bandcamp page for FM_I/AM_I frames the project through its process and intention; the notes describe the project as an exploration of repeti. That description accompanies the tracklist and release metadata on the Bandcamp page, where listeners can stream the four tracks and review the source attribution tied to 1980s Peruvian radio and television material. The Bandcamp entry establishes the release date as Feb 22, 2026 and presents the EP as a discrete, self-contained work rather than part of a larger album campaign.

Four days after its release, FM_I/AM_I sits on Bandcamp as a readily accessible artifact for DJs, crate-diggers, and listeners interested in archival sampling and dub-influenced minimalism. Blurred Hologram’s decision to work with Peruvian jingles from the 1980s creates a specific texture and provenance for the EP: the sounds are traceable to broadcast contexts rather than studio sessions, and that provenance is central to how the tracks function rhythmically and atmospherically. FM_I/AM_I is available now on Bandcamp, released Feb 22, 2026, and presents a concise example of how found-source material can be reframed within dub-inflected minimal techno.
