Defrag :: Idle Lines — Sound design focused electronic music (Kaer’Uiks)
The latest Defrag release takes the roots of electronic music and pushes them towards a more contemporary and overtly experimental direction.
E J R M :: The Old Way EP (Labile)
All the thoughts that emerge during the listening experience is most definitely in perfect synchronization with its title—The Old Way, and indeed the song titles themselves. The atmosphere and thought-provoking compositions capture each moment perfectly.
Ocoeur :: Connections (n5MD) — album premiere
The whole album hints at a long, gently unwinding story featuring natural expectant essences, but often with a certain melancholy just within the sphere of feelings. Calming sequences are ever present, often interspersed with fundamental elements of sedate joy.
Gore Tech :: Pulse Tundra EP (Ohm Resistance)
Deeply conceptual—conjuring time, space and even extraterrestrial life, exploring feelings that are intensified to the point of wildness, with the purity of spirit.
Tom Hall :: Failed Attempts at Silence (Superpang)
All compositions are steady and laid back, showcasing intermingling patterns of varied lifeform, all of which allow for a great sense of escapism directly through the headphones.
Xordox :: Omniverse (Editions Mego)
Omniverse is otherworldly in a futuristic and Sci-fi kind of way, yet it holds all those classic sounds emanating from a 1980s inspired European synth sound. From this release an intricate soundtrack emanates, often touching upon the fringes of techno rave, yet it never sounds recycled in any way and holds its own originality.
Stendeck :: Carnage (Hymen)
A grandiose conception of musical drama, set with psychological developments within a collection of unique plots. Think futuristic soundwaves, distorted developments that explode into surrealistic temporary dance like themes, while also dropping into the calm.
