Experimental Electronic Music
Necessary Unfold draws together the collective consciousness of contemporary Greek electronic music in their Various Artist label launch collection Part Time Archivists / Part Time Forgers. Coalescing electro, breaks, acid sensibilities, and IDM intent, we get 12 sublime Saturday-night anthems primed for a proper underground, word-of-mouth gathering. Summer radiates through the set.
Latest Onset Audio release, BMA & Robbyt deliver Arbitrary Arbitrage / Lockbox, a taut two-tracker driven by dark breaks, dense pressure, and full-spectrum low-end hostility.
DaFou’s new release on Buenos Aeros’ Cyclical Dreams arrives under the title Berlin Transit, and the Berlin nod is more than cosmetic—it signals a clear pull toward a Schulzian mode of expression. What unfolds across more than 100 minutes is a sustained act of musical articulation, rooted in a tightly wound compression of intention from the outset.
Lost Hope Society doesn’t deal in easy optimism. Instead, it locates hope as a kind of underlying signal—constant, even when masked by noise. Like Midsommar, it uses brightness to reveal shadow, and in doing so, turns discomfort into clarity.
Changing shape for their third outing, ZEROTHREE from Rome’s Black Shapes shifts away from the straight four-to-the-floor techno of the previous release m into something way deeper and more essentially elastic.
A nicely refined journey blending somewhat-synthwave textures, known organic tones, and subtle and assured rhythmology, balancing with craft atmospheres of intention with a known exploratory […]
Clouth threads precision engineering through moments of volatility, never allowing complexity to collapse into clutter. Each track on Cicada feels both autonomous and interlocked, contributing to a broader arc that moves from propulsion to release.
SCALD’s latest release Asphyxia earns every descriptor thrown at it: darkly beautiful, elegant, hyper-explosive—punctuated by sudden, punishing noise blasts that feel less like ornament and more like structural necessity.
Ruby My Dear stretches that equilibrium further—denser in construction, sharper in intent, and far less interested in playing it safe. The result is immediate, destabilizing, and exhilarating: a controlled surge of hyper-detailed programming and tonal volatility that demands attention.
Once voiced by Mason, water becomes both storyteller and observer—flowing through calm, chaos, evaporation, and return. Around this, A-Sun Amissa builds a rich soundscape using drone, classical instruments, processed guitars, synthesizers, and subtle samples.
Rather than simple genre hybridization, Detached From The Rest of You proposes a contemporary grammar for electronic composition—an archetype for how these traditions might coexist within a modern sonic imagination.
