First of all Alfarmania & Proiekt Hat albums, especially "Mardrömd Dödsström". These projects complement each other perfectly, I enjoy listening to everything these guys have recorded together.

SS WOM is also a great collab. Listening to their only album really transports my mind to a graveyard of ships.

Recent releases of Zyklon SS & Xenophobic Ejaculation, namely "War's Wild Beast" and "Whites Only" are now regulars on my playlist. I was especially pleased with Pekka's active presence on "WWB", whose style can't be confused with anyone else. The album is very diverse, yet elaborate and heavy as panzer armor. I rarely listen to live releases, but "Whites Only" is exactly the case when a live recording sounds as interesting as a full-length album. The insane pressure of this performance is comparable for me to the "Live In Finland 2016" by ZSS. I was pleased by the presence of samples from Black State's "Hlose".

Pissoir Rouge & Scatmother sound great together. I really like "Toxic Masculinity" for its more diverse and thoughtful sound compared to the previous albums. Of course, I also like the piercing high-qreq. attacks on "Physics Dissolve In Urine" and "Hentai Femdom Aktionismus", these albums sound more spontaneous and raw and there is a great in that too. I'm glad that the guys are experimenting and producing varied material.

Sick Seed & Zyrtax have a fine web release "Crimson Glow", which I hope will be released on CD \ tape someday. I really like this minimalistic industrial with Pekka's signature psychedelia. It seems that here among other things they used some leftover samples from Sick Seed's "Failed Rituals", which I also love a lot.

Off the cuff...

Organum & The New Blockaders: Salute and Pulp are classics. The mixing of Blockaders metal work and David Jackman's rich electronic drones and tones work so exceptionally well together.

Macronympha & Mlehst: Macro have done some of the best collabs ever between MXM, OVMN, Slave Labor, and so on... but Joe & All work extremely well together too and there have been a number of really successful albums between the two. The Macrosonic album from 1997 as well as the 2022 Lords of Sex in particular.

Hijokaidan + Akira Sakata: The "jazz" series, Made in Studio and Live in Japan, might be my favorite Hijo collabs. Everything is super harsh, chaotic, and it just works so well. 

Government Alpha/scum + Kazumoto Endo/scum: Truly exception harsh and well paced cut-up albums. scum is one of the most talented "new generation" guys out of Japan and these two collaborations are top-notch.

Sewer Election & Treriksroset: the killing series classic at this point.

Seepage: Kiran Arora and Ginny Benson. Truly out there and beautifully unique noise. Not much out there sounds like them. Second Nature and Tertium Quid are really stand apart releases.

Way too many to name... I could spend hours culling through the collection and posting collabs.
