That smudged area between hip-hop, bass music, turntablism, manipulated vocoders, and abstract electronics is where you’ll comfortably find K.L.O’s Slow Mode album.
Reviews
Wilder Gonzales Agreda :: 1994 EP (Superspace)
Are these opposing sonic forces or perhaps distant stars finding each other in The Milky Way? Ultimately, 1994 is a pleasant sojourn and a tangled mess, and we enjoyed every minute.
Broken Circuits :: Standing in Ruin EP (Errorgrid)
For a 4-song EP, Standing In Ruin bowls in and punches like a double album by Dimmu Borgir.
Badun :: Dreamers in the System (Leek)
In the same way that graffiti is written, painted, or drawn on a wall or other surface, Badun paints on an audible canvas that is quite flexible and confounding.
Joachim Spieth :: Terrain (Affin)
There are no sharp edges here, merely rising and falling tones, hillocks and nooks where sound pools and swirls, eddying slowly before being released into the ether.
Stitxhes :: Lost In Translation EP (Detroit Underground)
Just as quickly as we’re able to visualize Stitxhes’ brooding panoramas, they vanish into thin air with only a few aftershocks to be felt afterwards. Powerful and engaged.
Snowbeasts & Solypsis :: Firelands (Ohm Resistance) — Video premiere
As the artists find their comfort zone in an assemblage of mangled industrial, bass, illbient, techno, downtempo, and even dub, Firelands showcases familiar shadows shifting in the dead of night.
Somaticae :: Présent Perpétuel EP (3OP)
All short pieces and utterly to the point, these brief soundscapes tend to levitate across a broad sonic spectrum where punchy percussive jolts and stabbing rhythms unfold at multiple angles.
bvdub :: Fumika Fades (EC Underground)
Stylistically, Fumika Fades doesn’t stray too far from the sound he’s been developing in recent years, the grainy, reverb-laden pads and atmospheric textures are all familiar…
4T Thieves :: Nomad’s Requiem (Werra Foxma)
Werra Foxma takes the opportunity to release these audible gems submerged in nostalgic flutter. Opening downtempo strands and melodic loops cascade…
iNFO :: Alkaline Glades (Móatún 7)
Michael Robinson (aka iNFO) has kept himself busy; this time he unveils a nine piece suite for Móatún 7 that continues in Sheffield bleep soundscapes and encompassing more of that 90s-era electronica polish.
