Hinting at industrial, glitch, IDM, clicks, and disjointed cuts wrapped around technoid structures, it’s so jam-packed, that it’s a challenge to unfold each layer; this is a good thing.

Illocanblo :: Maze (Rednetic)
There are albums that build up gradually, and then there are albums that simply propel like a rocket right from the start. Maze follows the later trajectory.
ANKUBU :: RX_71_0 (Subtrakt)
Dilapidated structures and sub-structures deform on RX_71_0 casting blistered symphonies submerged in devastating rhythms.
Barking :: Barking (brokntoys)
Barking provides ample amounts of acid, braindance, and technoid fissures to keep us chilled as these downtempo analog tracks take over…
Jvox :: Strange Universe 3 (Component)
SU3 is yet another foray into the unknown; allowing its listeners to traverse distant and dense sound structures that are utterly unique and abstract, eerie and serene, chaotic and calm, and often at the same time.

A half dozen selections of evolved rhythmic twitches and splatter drums run rampant on Wrong Number.

Delivering downtempo frequencies bursting at the seams with chilled, mid-90s sound-scaping nostalgia, Fyretone drafts a parallel with the likes of B12, Sun Electric, Bola, and The Higher Intelligence Agency et al.
TBEX & Elias Zorn :: Solar Parallax EP (Adventurous Music)
Also dipping into darker industrial tropes, TBEX and Elias Zorn offer an ebb and flow of visceral and surreal audio-shards that take over the landscape…
