Mania embodies downtempo approaches to construct its unique message while straddling multiple genres without adhering to any one.

David Curington :: Composer REACTS / After These Messages (Difficult Art And Music)
We find it all confusing and compelling at the same time. A serious snapshot through our day-to-day lives and the mundane commercial messaging that unfortunately is part-and-parcel of corporate powerhouse greed taking over our devices.
Guy Wachtel :: Nulla Anima EP (Glitchpulse)
With a pulsating four-track manifest titled Nulla Anima, the multitalented audio craftsman disperses hundreds of beats, blips, and bleeps deep into left field.
Mike Gale :: Hey Presto (Self Released)
Mike Gale’s Hey Presto, a lightened long-player that tip-toes between lounge, downtempo, shoegaze, and laid-back soundscapes that are cool to the touch, was released in April 2024.
Hitori Tori :: Signals From The Uncharted Expanse EP (Satellite Era)
The high-octane drill’n bass maestro keeps pushing the envelope, incorporating sandblasted acid-electronics and off-center rhythms in this heavyweight five pack manifest.
Fragile X :: Halcyon Maze EP (Intellitronic Bubble)
Fragile X’s audio work is a delightful discovery, as demonstrated by Halcyon Maze in particular with Iceland’s prolific IDM, electro, and techno imprint Intellitronic Bubble.
Tomoroh Hidari :: Depth Sounding (Live at Hofburg, Vienna) EP (bruitversum)
After years of keeping us on the edge of our seats, on his live recording for bruitversum, Tomoroh Hidari returns with an EP aptly-titled Depth Sounding consisting of four tracks ranging in length from four to seven minutes.
Adrien d’Elzius :: Straight from the Void (Pt.3) EP (Self Released)
Another excellent extended player filled with transportive electronics, hopefully continuing in the sequence.
