Brushed sound design structures touch upon layers of light industrial-electro flourishes and robotic soundscapes.

mōshonsensu :: Even Keel (Touched Music)
The ten tracks on Even Keel, which was published in August 2023, flex and sputter with a somber electronica intensity that skillfully projects early Warp, Rednetic, Toytronic, and Neo Ouija labels’ output.
Ümlaut :: Half the Speed of Light (Self Released)
Jeff Düngfelder (also known as Ümlaut) develops a musique concrète resource and minuscule time-capsules to lose yourself within.
Alex Jann :: Cold Light Wave EP (brokntoys)
A well-oiled and tightly packed release to kick off 2024 as we keep our ears peeled for more in what could very well be its own genre titled “cold light wave.”
Tarsiform :: Mechanically Reclaimed Pickings (Pingdiscs)
On these jagged aural experiments, scorched percussive rhythms, tangled vocal samples, and braindance components combine and burst leaving us to believe that Tarsiform is an unusual yet creative force to seriously pay attention to.
Zeuge :: Maturation (Concrete Collage)
Concrete Collage’s ability to curate such vast sound structures is one of the best places to find completely abstract and experimental electronics. Zeuge’s Maturation, along with partnerships with Lokom, M.E.R.S, Romanowitch, and Fauna Modulara (aka fxbip), help navigate this jumble of fragmented audio data.
Room of Wires :: Decayed: 10yrs of Isolation and Collaboration – Remixed (Section 27)
Here, isolation and cooperation coexist within the confines of dark electronics as lighter shapes and shades lurk in the background.
clocolan :: 2k10-2k20 (Redpan)
2k10–2k20 as a whole, is much more of a laid-back atmosphere than a percussive one, and it serves as a benchmark for the artists’ sound and vision.
Microhm :: Les-1 (Detroit Underground)
Immersing otherworldly electronics with atmospheric textures and tones, Les-1 is a succinctly planned journey.
Sea of Suns :: Sea of Suns EP (Courier)
The October 2023 release of Sea of Suns’ eponymous EP on Courier features a largely indie electronic atmosphere.
Primal Tribes & Redlum :: Crooked Figures (Onset Audio)
The Pacific Northwest imprint, in true Onset Audio fashion, is pulling darker, more experimental bass recordings from a range of sound designers.
