Build :: A Development with a Grid of Streets and a Shopping Center Heart (Audiobulb)
The brittleness and careful attention to every microscopic note, melody, click, and lullaby rhythm tends to ebb and flow, allowing Build to quite literally build upon a variety of abstract bits and pieces that are somehow glued together.
O C O S I :: Low World Order EP (Ohm Resistance)
Low World Order seeks to replenish darker electronic passages and reaches further into the trenches of claustrophobic sound mangling.
LAITR :: Sapphire Send (Acroplane)
The Madrid-based producer from Manchester delivers old-school blistered beats with downtempo elements and tosses them about. The resulting deconstructed and bass-infused tracks tend to shift and shatter.
Colin Muir :: Interminstrel (Concrete Collage)
Calm analog flutter tugs at the heartstrings as Colin Muir sculpts a myriad of classic experimental electronic musings.
V/A :: Interstellar Communications Vol 2.1 (Pyramid Transmissions)
Ultimately an upper level smorgasbord of audible electrons that doesn’t let up even for a moment, Pyramid Transmissions have curated another top release that contains just enough energy to thrust us into Interstellar space without looking back. IC2.1 is the quintessential catalog of electro and highlights the best in the scene.
Steve Hadfield :: Industrial Chillout Complex (Werra Foxma)
A swirling smorgasbord of blissful blips and bleeps, tiny mechanical gears rotate and crunch their way through, often leaving the listener to submerge themselves in these mysterious aural fluctuations.
4T Thieves :: Fame is an Addiction EP (Mahorka)
Taking us to a simpler time, a place where comfort and familiarity reside—the nostalgia of distant memories, sounds, and feelings keep our minds tuned as 4T Thieves continues to extract swirling synthesizer strains.
V/A :: Communication Themes Vol. 10 (Renraku)
Renraku continue to evolve as their revolving Communication Themes compilation series expands and contracts with creative and exploratory electronics.
Aeon Cub :: Vacant King (Kaer’Uiks)
The sometimes frenetic breaks and beats avalanche are counterbalanced by punctuated low-flying rhythms, taking us to those brittle and precision IDM releases of yesteryear (ref. Brothomstates, Karsten Pflum, Proem, Xela, Gimmik et al).
Nike_Vomita :: MOA087 EP (Móatún 7)
A three piece suite released on a limited (and now sold out) 7″—Nike_Vomita emerges with just over 10 minutes of primed acid technoid extracts that bend, twist, and shift through ambient underpinnings.
