For Cracks—which was produced in a rural part of Ireland without any outside pressure—Eomac showcases an aptitude for more upfront and punctuated techno, sliced breaks, and broken beat strains.

UnknownDivide :: Existence (Labile)
One simply cannot pigeonhole UnknownDivide, and maybe that’s the intention. When sparks like “Reverence” punctuate your soul and the title track pierces our ventricles, one can only imagine where we’ll be taken next.
Cyberian :: Dark Orphism (Amek Collective)
Dark Orphism is peppered with echoed beat patches and dystopian sound worlds leading us down a treacherous path that doesn’t let up.
Velum Break :: Cloaca EP (Analogical Force)
Velum Break sets the stage for an expressive and ghostly sonic mishmash that is positively on point and pushes the braindance genre just a little further.
Synade :: Synade (Megatape)
A visceral collection of organized electronic mayhem from broken breaks, heavier hitting drums, blips’n bleeps, erratic breakcore vs braindance, early synth-pop/punk, acid noodling and did we mention low-end rattling?
Ossa / Wake :: Ovis Canadensis (Schematic Music Co.)
Brisk 13 minute audio morsels from Ossa / Wake titled Ovis Canadensis sees its release with Schematic Music Company with several “secret” remixes to be announced April 16 that will also be part of this release.
V/A :: Tenth Listen (People Can Listen)
Tenth Listen is behemoth of a compilation that unfolds sparkling sound sculptures and showcases clearly that IDM is alive and well.
exm :: Post Acuem (Self Released)
exm manages to dive into blissful sound design elements that at once sound mechanical and arcane but somehow also exude emotivly magnetic attractions.
Hanut Munson :: Zoopraxiscopy EP (Evel)
On Zooproxiscopy we find Hanut Munson deliver tranquilized electronic layers of dust where delicate pitter-patter beats flutter in the wind and melodic notes drift somewhere in the margins while simultaneously moving colorful sound images.
kojoohar × ködzid goo :: dotla (Ant-Zen)
Analog soundscraping noise cemented by fractured industrial tropes is par for the course, and yet the duo from Northern Komi lands (ködzid goo) and Southern Ukraine (kojoohar) manage to create molten lava flows where abstract downtempo hip-hop is ravaged by atmospheric mechanical warfare.
Fxbip :: Beyond EP (Xephem)
8-bit breaks are crunched, deformed, and plastered against voice snippets, acidic squelches, and chiseled video-game moments. Basically, the whole kit and caboodle is discovered on Beyond by Montreal’s drill’n bass technician Fxbip.
