Dissolved finds a sonic tapestry of his own; floating somewhere in the cover artworks’ shallow sea, tranquility and solace surrounds Island Flux. A precious gem.

Aelk Minsur :: Everything is a Nail (Self Released)
Dilapidated soundscapes, broken beats, peculiar conversations, funky shapeshifting, and crunch-hop elements collide in these brisk moments cut with a diamond blade into 18 pieces.
The Follower :: Waiting, Occurrence, Dissolve (Concrete Collage)
There are peaks and valleys on Waiting, Occurrence, Dissolve that reward the listener with left-field sound mangling from the outer edges that continue to unfold with each listen.
Supercoastal :: Blue Noise (Self Released)
Where blissful rhythms blurred by technoid fissures and brightly polished melodies flourish, one can easily slip into these cool, springtime sonic branches.
iNFO :: All Possibilities And Outcomes (Self Released)
Mixing subdued rhythms, acid-tinged notes, flexible low-end, articulated electro, and synthesizer echoes with a gravitational pull, I’d easily delineate this album to the originators of the electronica path that started it all in the early 90s.
V/A :: Thirteenth Listen (People Can Listen)
As the series unfortunately comes to an end, now’s the time to catch up to the plethora of sound sculptors the imprint has opened our ears to.
TL3SS :: Debride EP (Errorgrid)
An explosive tectonic EP that ventures in the dark sans navigation—grasping at non-linear electronics from the deepest fissures of our Earth’s crust. Simply baffling.
Gloom Mountain Gospel :: Blood of Spring (Heterodox)
Various clicks and cuts, drones and tones, as well as dark-ambient details and distant acid-techno shifts manage to seamlessly blend in this strange yet satisfying sonic transmission.
4T Thieves :: Futures End (Rednetic)
4T Thieves continues to outdo himself; recombining tethered and wilted soundscapes into blissful ambient-electronic forages.
Brainquake + Sven Phalanx :: From The Oblivion Lounge (Mahorka)
Scattered and shattered rhythms echo across the landscape, sometimes fleeting with shifting time signatures that one can almost grasp at.
DJ Hidden :: Isoclusion (Hidden Tracks)
Generating enough momentum from one creation to the next, these dozen kaleidoscopic and tectonic impressions register high on our Best of 2022 list.
