Deep layers of abstract electronics are present in each of the nine compositions, which are layered over a variety of sculpted noises and textured rhythms.

Octavcat :: KP Index (VLSI)
Eight tracks that hum their way through warm modular realms, as if to suggest a peaceful journey through time, are led by Octavcat, who leaves very little breathing room.
ADJ :: Renegade Transmission EP (Serenity In Keos / Yoyaku)
Stacking explosive rhythms and powerful bass undulations by discovering and sculpting a wide range of atmospheric elements, these tracks are perfectly blended together through rapid beatwork and forceful acid swirls.
IGR J17091-3624 :: IGR J17091-3624 EP (Móatún 7)
It’s a pleasant (if not searing) adventure that manipulates our senses and our sense of location while transferring us via ragged rhythms that we find ourselves repeating.
Onepointwo :: Cycles (Subexotic)
Onepointwo alternates between expressive blips and expanding bleeps while picking and plucking on synth waves.
Suumhow :: Extra Failed Items (n5MD) — Video premiere
Where earlier notable artists such as Funckarma, Funkstörung, Gescom, and Proem are touching points, Suumhow successfully shape their sound as the new benchmark connecting them together.
RAN :: Birds (Adepta Atanor Collection)
It’s a treacherous drum’n bass maze to navigate—where braindance, extremely saturated beats, low-end breaks, and explosive rhythms collide with the might of a fully-loaded semi truck.
HØST :: The Sacred Grove (Renraku)
The Sacred Grove is a kaleidoscope of impacting sounds and shapes that combines abstract, dub, and 2-step structures.
BLUSH RESPONSE :: Dimensional Research (Kontaktor)
The end product is a potent jumble of industrial goliaths and saturated glitch entangled in a web of modular mayhem.
Unterm Rad :: Unfinished Business (Point Source Electronic Arts)
Often paralleled among artists such as Richard Devine, Xanopticon, and Qebrus, the Chicago native tilts sound forms into a microcosm of glitch and mechanical gaps, exposing what is arguably the pinnacle of his discography.
Huxion :: Huxion (ata:empire)
The subdued ambient techno strands and melodic rhythms oscillate back and forth with thoughtfully placed atmospheric pulses, creating a sound as hazy as time itself.
