Through every granular texture and skewed rhythm, Planet Mu reaffirms its place as one of electronic music’s most vital and visionary institutions.

Transverse :: It’s Broken (Somewherecold)
Discarded elements of broken rhythms, volatile drones, and mechanized auditory collisions are hurled together in an anarchic cascade of aural experimentation. Yet from this rubble, something transcendent emerges.
Dadub :: How to Shoulder the Radiance of Revelations (Opal Tapes)
Though it navigates shadowy realms, How to Shoulder the Radiance of Revelations propels itself beyond time—a volatile meditation from some imagined ruin. Radiant in its disintegration, this is dub combusted and reassembled—glowing, feral, and spellbinding in the void.
Marshall Applewhite :: Out Through The Mouth (Detroit Underground)
Something deeper pulses beneath the surface here—Marshall Applewhite deciphers alien transmissions and machine-born structures through Out Through The Mouth, where technoid ruptures ripple around an atmospheric glitchscape.
Oberlin :: Ten More Dreamwebs (Self Released) — [concise]
Though built from machines, the soundworld pulses with something strangely tender, as if translated directly from a dream-state—cinematic, organic, and eerily intimate, flowing with a quiet, uncanny grace.
Ian Boddy :: Modulations IV (DiN)
A culmination of Boddy’s ever-evolving soundcraft, Modulations IV stands as a testament to his lifelong exploration of electronic music and the synths that stitch harmony from chaos. Not just a collection of performances—it’s world-building through sound.
MTCH :: hkyrbnnpkmdtvovgjr (Evel)
Melody is all but absent, replaced instead by interwoven mechanical filaments that thread each track together. It’s a lattice of IDM-laced circuitry, clanking and whirring toward coherence, like sentient machines in the act of debugging themselves.
Yunx :: Coevolve (Touched Music)
Standing as a testament to Yunx’s quiet mastery—Coevolve is an album that doesn’t demand attention, but earns it through its patient unraveling, revealing a duo attuned to the poetry of electronic music and its timelessness.
Cignol :: Ocean of Space EP (Who is Paula) — [concise]
With a seamless blend of fluidity and expansiveness, Ocean of Space channels raw machine soul through textured rhythms and vivid melodic fragments.
V/A :: Genome 5 (Point Source Electronic Arts)
Genome 5 secures its footing: not simply as a compilation, but as a convergence—uniting some of experimental electronic’s most forward voices in a curation that feels both elevated and enduring. A vivid collection of darker IDM expressions, tightly woven yet bristling with invention.
