Subtly-placed whispered melodies somehow enter our subconscious and the tone of the EP intensifies as it gets closer to our soul.

Room of Wires · Station Zero :: Carbon Based Shrine (Ant-Zen)
“A mosaic of the human experience,” indeed, Carbon Based Shrine is a somber, illbient-tinged, and introspectively dark soundscape with sporadic bursts of lighter parts piercing through the ashes.
Malasomma :: NEOLINGUA (Stochastic Resonance)
Malasomma (also known as Marco Malasomma) produces a soundtrack for this language; featuring skewed audio worlds that ebb and flow, occasionally delivering noisier constructs to heighten the tension.
±vMcÇ :: err051-v-mcc (Clean Error)
The degree of abstraction in ±vMcÇ’s work is astounding. Warped glitches and breaks splatter across the terrain, gathering heavily processed found sounds, braindance components, and arcane rhythms into a disorganized muddle.
shimura :: Room Two (Polygon Network)
A variety of abstract electronic genres are explored in shimura’s Room Two, which blends breakbeat, ambient, IDM, drone, and complex beat patterns into a well-balanced, harmonious feast.
Aelk Minsur :: MΩ Test Report (Self Released)
Aelk Minsur constantly mines for intensely textured industrial and electronic soundscapes, and he succeeds once more with MΩ Test Report.
yibai :: Hatch + Foster EP (EXILES)
The whole collection is a sharp and perplexing journey across experimental terrain that’s a step ahead of itself.
Oberman Knocks :: Khaptop Arc Phore EP (Errorgrid)
Errorgrid, who keep putting out darker sounds of the present future, opens UK-based Nigel Truswell’s account under his Oberman Knocks moniker. Khaptop Arc Phore then takes the imprints theme a step further with a four-track blackened IDM flood of distilled soundscapes.
4T Thieves :: Unseeing Eyes (Rednetic)
4T Thieves consistently releases intricate audio sculptures and visual displays, dousing every layer with a profusion of sharp beats and ethereal atmospheres encircled by brittle kaleidoscope rhythms, diverse found sounds, and faint vocal extracts.
Focal Point :: Manufactured Superstition / Statecraft (The Collection Artaud)
Focal Point drafts a clear-cut yet sophisticated sonic statement by combining throbbing yet subtly nuanced bass with gloomy ambient and downtempo timbres. Absolutely riveting.
Michael Valentine West :: Von Bock Strasse 18 (redux) (uvg212)
Seven years after its initial release, and the skilled sound sculptor returns with a revived and impacting EP.
