Homemade Weapons & Voidloss :: Bloodlillies In The Moonlight EP (Onset Audio)
Two talented sound sculptors burst through harder-edged beats, bass, and distortion with a potent collection of sound design structures and dark electronics.
Reverb Delay :: The Storm Has Passed (Mighty Force)
These spherical, dub-heavy, technoid soundscapes engulf everything in their path, slowly progressing down various ridges, valleys, and depressions along sloping terrain. Walking through surrounding fog, the throbbing beats and atmospheric textures hypnotize our senses.
Aseq :: Thrones (KOMBINE)
These compact sci-fi-infused auditory slabs transport us back a number of years as they continuously shift and fade away, building up to an inevitable breakdown.
Panopticum :: Multisensory Metaphors EP (Polygon Network)
Panopticum’s aptly-titled Multisensory Metaphors is a densely-packed EP combining meditative downtempo electronics, glitch, electro, and IDM in beautiful deconstructive patterns.
rinse.repeat :: A New Braindance Era EP (Clean Error)
Fragmented glitch, beats, melodies, and esoteric rhythms push and pull in a variety of ways during A New Braindance Era, where precision clicks’n cuts are surrounded by complex layers.
CHXFX :: Rafter Castanets (Plastic Horse)
A surreal visual and aural impression is elevated by the clinical accuracy of each composition, its punctuated rhythms, and its blend of dub techno strands cut with skeletal electronics and tangled synth peripherals.
Lucus :: Vectorising (Adventurous Music)
Vectorising continually draws from looping noises until nothing is left but dust. The amount of detail, found sounds, and auditory erosion is absolutely hypnotizing front to back.
Softlock :: Second Wind EP (Perimeter Junk)
The duo seamlessly navigate complex coordinates of technique and technology, art and skill—weaving them into their own distinctive aural fabric.
