The scraping, noise-drenched slabs in which John Healy (one half of Somatic Responses) is able to craft are astounding.

Valance Drakes :: A Weak Shield Protects Not EP (Urban Virus)
Nine minutes and an infinity we can’t even fathom, Valance Drakes delivers transparent soundwaves just barely reaching the lower atmosphere. Massaging ghostlike glitch for us mere mortals.
Mantle of Gets :: Lisbon D300422D5409 (Uchelfa)
This recording, with all its dust, debris, and dense sound sculptures, dives straight through the magnetosphere and doesn’t hold back.
Shubharun Sengupta :: Iggle (Self Released)
Even if these tracks are filled with audible data bursting at the seams, a bricolage of sound-scraping noises all tend to merge together on Iggle, angular electronics indeed.
Myoptik :: Eat At The Dining Table of the Vibrating Sting (Pingdiscs)
There’s something magnetic, somehow fully charged, and buzzing here. Eight tracks of densely layered electronics and crunchy noises wrapping rhythmic distortion courtesy of the ever-talented Myoptik (aka Richard Wilkes).
Stefan Smith :: Thlostones (Sapiens)
What a detailed story Thlostones is; drawing from classic soundscapes and inspiration that artists like Sean Deason, B12, and The Detroit Escalator Company ignited in the early days.
tysk raider :: tysk002 (mindcolormusic / tysk)
These sound-art pieces express themselves via synthesizers and beautiful noise boxes, and yet they feel human and organic at the same time.
Cyd :: Haute Couture (Subsist & Faith Disciplines)
Cyd encompasses a wide-ranging musical style that ebbs and flows into abstract and delicate forms to more abrupt bass-infused IDM morsels.
Poborsk :: Astronaut Mom (Da ! Heard It)
Sliced, diced and often flickering musical fragments almost coalesce in a stream of data flows only to be sideswiped by constantly shifting pitter-patter beats and shuffling ambient patterns that seem invisible.
ADJ :: Wormhole Device (Pyramid Transmissions)
Wormhole Device showcases an artist continuing to excel at their craft; never afraid to detail every nook and cranny, every fissure and fracture, and to simply expose the sheer avalanche of electro-nics surrounding this multifaceted rhythmic core.
Roger van Lunteren :: AE–O6 (Adepta Editions)
A sonic couplet that counterbalance each other from erratic breaks and up-tempo percussion to downtrodden bliss to close it out.
