This work is quite rich in terms of rhythm and layering details in sound design, while a main glitch aesthetic mark permeates through all tracks.

Adam Jay :: The Inevitable Demise (Detroit Underground)
Adam Jay often revisits old-school drum machines and spacey synth timbres that expose his experience regarding dance music culture.
clocolan :: Empathy Alpha (Redpan)
The retro-future cinematic feel is complemented with a very creative mixture of spoken words, oscillators, dirty ambient textures, computer-controlled bleeps, drones and powerful lead synths.
Snakes Of Russia :: My Arms Bend Back (Errorgrid)
A powerful sample of the artists’ dexterity and skills in sound design to catalyze one’s mind in creating an arsenal of imagery to evoke emotion with ease.
Aelk Minsur :: Continuity and Discretion (Kaer’Uiks)
The mini album Continuity and Discretion shows how fragmented and chaotic the artists’ creative soul is, although a mysterious glitch-panning reverb aesthetic lineage amalgams the whole release.
The Junglechrist :: Madness EP — Stazma :: Leftovers EP (Concrete Collage)
Madness EP is a delicious treat for breakcore jungle aficionados, whereas Leftovers features a bonus varied genre compilation featuring IDM original tracks plus glitch hop and (additional) breakcore remixes.
Zainetica :: Transmission Vectors (Rednetic)
A 12-track album based on syncopated downtempo/dubstep beats, dub basslines and dreamy pad synths that can almost take you to a state of trance.
