Experimental Electronic Music
Iain Law and Darren Taberner, a Manchester-based electronic duo, worked on many projects under various aliases, but their primary focus was Yunx. They released several IDM masterpieces on labels like Void, Pitchcadet, Meson Octet, Ai, and their own Yunxrecordings imprint in the late 90s and early 2000s.
All These Worlds Are Yours contains five tracks in which each song is named after one of Jupiter’s many moons; and once you hear the music contained within, it proves to be an appropriate theme for the release.
Rather skeletal in nature, Polyrhythmic Electronica is mainly dialed in on the glitched out percussion from classic drum machines that sit comfortably atop squelchy synth bass tracks—best enjoyed on a night time drive through the city.
Though the gear and technique have changed over the years, Alley still encapsulates the signature Lackluster sound. Fans of Esa’s work will feel right at home hearing this record.
Dense, rhythmic arrangements and atonal synth pieces collide on Updraft culminating a radically unique listening experience; which if heard in the correct headspace, could potentially alter one’s entire perception of reality.
News From The Past maintains Gimmik’s lighthearted aesthetic and playful nature but also with his signature gritty edge.
While not exactly minimal, (as the songs sound quite large) the tracks are somewhat stripped back and given lots of breathing room within themselves, utilizing a less is more approach with great effect.
Cohesive from beginning to end, Scanner’s second release for the DiN label does not disappoint—especially if you are into moody atmospheric sound experiments that defy categorization.
