Following on from 2018’s Spinflex, this latest outing is most enjoyable. While in places it feels like raw studio shenanigans and output, that output has been carefully polished that oozes strength and control along the way.

Roel Funcken :: Data Curation (EC Underground)
Rarely adhering to one rhythmic construct within the confines of a song, individual phrases are crafted to their logical conclusion with real thought as to what should come next.
Clark :: Body Riddle (Remastered) (Warp)
Well, this month it appears that one of my calls is answered with the repress of Clark’s 2006 Body Riddle—not only that, but it’s accompanied by a new collection of previously-unreleased and hard-to-find works, 05-10.
Arovane :: Tides 2022 Remaster / Reissue (Keplar)
Tides tells a story, has a vision, and is not just a collection of works as so many albums fell foul of.
Luke Vibert :: GRIT. (Hypercolour)
Twelve pieces of precise and expert acid dance that really highlights just how low-key something can be and still have a magnificent impact.
Inkipak :: dot (Touched Music)
Overall this is another well-rounded release from Inkipak who appears to be going from strength to strength recently.
Bogdan Raczynski :: ADDLE (Planet Mu)
A departure it may be, but we don’t lose anything that we love; rather gain some new tricks that we can enjoy just as much. […]
Serge Geyzel :: Xenophonic (Touched Revolutions)
Xenophonic starts deceptively, the melancholy of its opening salvo that gives way to well-placed beats and a very human rhythm don’t prepare me for what lies ahead.
Karsten Pflum :: Camera Obscura (Touched Music)
The pressure’s been rising again and Karsten Pflum now offers up a set of works in the guise of Camera Obscura—a twisted tale of analog sounds trying to make it in the harsh and dangerous digital world.
