An album of sped up rhythmic shadows that captivates the listener with its ravaged sonic scope and barely gives us time to take a breather.
Reviews
Adrien d’Elzius :: Straight from the Void (Pt.1) EP (Self Released)
Crisp and crunchy acid swirls inhabit Straight from the Void (Pt. 1), the first EP of three as Adrien d’Elzius breaks through rugged electronic sound space.
bvdub :: Days of Gold (Quiet Details)
As always, and in this new opus, the emotional component will grab you and transport your listening capacity to some uplifting mysterious spaces where mystery, beauty, and sparkling lightness reign.
David Harrow :: Jitter (Mighty Force)
Harrow manages to melt acid house into dub that then melts into ambient IDM.
V/A :: Various V (030303)
After each of these compilations the Utrecht imprint has only ever set the bar higher, explored further and dared more. What’s next? More of what is on this record hopefully, more…change, something inevitable for these guys.
Danny Playamaqui :: AE–08 EP (Adepta Editions) — Video premiere
A varied auditory collection that pulls from all angles, and another one to definitely add to your wax collection.
rchecka & delta5ive :: Continuum Guild (Cratedigging Cooperative)
A contrasting collection of soundscapes and escapes through auditory bliss; fluid rhythms and old-school breaks, bass, and ambient segments keep the listener fully engaged.
V/A :: Mercury Mission Diaries (Cryo Chamber)
I can’t be sure of the difference. Maybe that is only strange laughter coming from down below as the rescue ship speeds with us inside, and the music really takes off. At the end, things are morphing rapidly and I remember some rare small parts of everything after all.
Arovane :: Miniaturen (Puremagnetik)
What I hear on Miniaturen are those miniature little boxes, interesting sketches and scribbles mostly based on the piano, a piano with prepared tones speaking clearly and artfully.
Maps and Diagrams :: A Study of Ends or Purpose (Handstitched*)
What I hear are experimental, textured soundscapes, multilayered fusions of digital and analog techniques, sparse haunting keyboards and atmospheres…
Alexandre Navarro / Caya :: Phases / Dream Vestibuli (Handstitched*)
Two engaging and alternative perspectives, focused on their diverse range of sound and melodic fusions. Navarro’s Phases & Caya’s Dream Vestibuli is a contrasting range of electronic-acoustic and organic sounds.
