Experimental Electronic Music
Jordan Schmelzer’s debut as Dead Edit, Signal Loss, plunges deep into the industrial undercurrents of IDM, where fractured rhythms, mechanical weight, and ambient collage converge in a dense assemblage of broken beats and digital decay.
Six tracks, no wasted motion. ARKADA005 doesn’t revive electro; it plugs it back in, turns the voltage up, and lets the machine speak for itself.
The Cardboard Falcon is a profoundly vibrant, impressionistic, cinematic, slow-moving, and melodically oriented neoclassical album that will lead the listener to a state of serenity and contemplation.
There are passages where the familiarity of the solutions diminishes the element of surprise, and others where a simple shift in timbre is enough to rekindle our attention. It is in these latter moments that Tangent’s return acquires its most convincing significance.
Everything about how Folextrusion reaches you feels fragile, and that fits. This is music about the point where something solid starts to give, and it asks you to sit inside that point for close to an hour without rushing toward the collapse. Hexalyne has spent years perfecting the build. Plenty of producers can build something solid. Very few know how to take it apart this slowly, this carefully, and leave you wanting to hear it break again.
On Temporary, Aimée Portioli takes this sensitivity into more fragile and unsettled territory, shaped by an awareness of loss and by our relationship with time. Eight compositions in which electronic textures and acoustic resonances undergo a continuous process of transformation, following an emotional logic that also leaves room for uncertainty.
One does not need context or production acumen to enjoy these tracks, and to feel emotionally attached to them—these pieces grab your attention beyond the extent of any techy or compositional trick, and linger once they’re done playing, like fizzy crisp air after a summer shower.
A furthering and deepening of ongoing sonic inquiries, Statica Memoria makes for an impressive display of zakè’s craft, exhibiting an intuitive grasp of transformative sonic alchemy.
Rusuden’s achievement lies in an exceptionally intelligent sonic vocabulary, where beauty emerges through melody, ambience, texture, tone and timbre. Fat bass thumps underpin shimmering synthesizer sonics, while accessible neo-funk grooves provide the connective tissue for twelve assured, mature compositions.
Overleaf deploys digital tools to push further, fragmenting, layering, remake-remodeling, stretching sounds beyond recognition.
Amplitude Modulation is a proper shot of life into the 160+ breaks underground, and a reminder that the old jungle spirit still has room to mutate, surprise and absolutely batter any dancefloor outside the box enough to desire authentic experimentation.
We are entering a more vaporous, velvety, sonic and sonorous adventure, with plenty of serene pads, crystalline tones, and subtly intertwined melodies obtained from processed acoustic timbres or electronic oscillations.
News of a single and album from Kenneth James Gibson: November 2 sees “In Whom My Eyes Are Gifted,” a first taste of LP Liturgies of Erosion and Return, upcoming January 20 on Past Inside The Present.
The original remains the gravitational center, its melancholic beauty providing the connective tissue between these contrasting approaches. Four perspectives, one expansive vision, and enough rhythmic invention to keep the whole thing moving. All quite delicious.
