Robyrt Hecht :: Yskayan Knowledge (YUYAY)
The strictures of electro mean that individualism can be difficult to achieve. With Yskayan Knowledge, Hecht not only expresses himself in a unique manner, the Leipzig musician is proving that the sounds of frigid funk are wide and varied.
Planet Love :: New Era & Adamha (return_backspace)
Both New Era and Adamha will be welcome news to anyone who has followed Marco Repetto. To the newcomer, each 12” illustrated the Italian’s enviable ability to melt genre boundaries and reach exciting new ideas.
WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #25
The lads are back after the Christmas break with a show brimming with quality. Every genre under the electronic sun is explored.
Lloyd Stellar :: Randomized Lifeforms (Pulse Drift)
An EP that challenges the limitations of electro and illustrates the vastness of a sound that can often feel hemmed-in by exterior demands.
WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #24 — Top tracks of 2021
The last twelve months has dissolved into a kaleidoscope of similar news stories, mutating variants and a continued sense of unease. Thankfully there is always music to sooth the fevered brow; music and tradition.
The Jaffa Kid :: Passing Signals (Suction)
On Passing Signals, the Newcastle based musician’s ability to craft rich and textured works using contrasting and sparse sounds is plain to hear. A top record from an artist who is rightly being noticed and will only continue to be so.
Nuron + Fugue :: DAT Tapes 1993-1994 (De:tuned)
De:tuned have brought the beauty and brilliance of Nuron to a new audience (or an aging one in some cases) with this wonderful release.
WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #23 — Off To Ombra special
Rejoicing in the return of Ombra, of course cancelled in 2020 with COVID, the lads from WE FORFEIT have scoured their collections to bring the festival to those who couldn’t make it there this year.
